So this is what it has come to…Union guys threatening a Boy Scout who volunteered to clear a path in a park which had been used as a dumping ground for tires, vacuum cleaners and all sorts of bad stuff.
I mean, Obama has called upon us all to volunteer, right? So what was his "crime"?
The Boy Scout hauled out all this garbage and made a great walking path, but the big bad union guys — Slimy Evil Insensitive Union (SEIU) use their heavy handed violent tactics, as usual. And all because of GREED. They wanted to be PAID to do the same job.
Let's take a look at the new SA, the SEIU and its violent thug tactics — all approved by Obama (he's not speaking out against it, now is he?)
In fact, Obama has said that he has been involved with the SEIU his "entire adult life".
Andy Stern's motto is a familiar one – the same one of the Communist party — Workers Unite.
But he wants workers only on his terms and for his own purposes. Those that dare dissent are beaten to a pulp. Yet Obama approves…
"President Barack Obama issued two decrees today intended to corral millions more American workers into forced unionism while blacklisting non-union employees from working on taxpayer funded projects."
SEIU Beats Dissenting Worker
Hamidi says he came to the hall to expose how he says SEIU union leaders are spending tens of thousands of dollars on a political race, he claims, they have no right to do. After he and a photographer walked in to the meeting, it didn't take long for Hamidi to be right out the door and on his way to the hospital.
We called SEIU union leaders to get their side of the story, but they refused to comment. CBS
No criminal charges have been filed in this case. (note this same thread on other incidents.)
SEIU Thugs Beat Black Man Giving Away Flags — While Screaming the N-Word
Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis was attacked by SEIU as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. His injuries included knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
Again, 90-some days later, no charges have been filed.
Two EPA employees have grave concerns with Obama's Cap and Ttade (TAX) bill and posted their viewpoints on You Tube. Obama made them take it down!
Just imagine if Geo Bush had ordered the same of a video criticizing him!
First, let's take a look at these dumbass Carbon Credits.
Bryan Leyland, who is chairman of the economic panel of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, summed up not only why the European Union’s carbon cap-and-trade program i s a failure, but also why all carbon cap and trade schemes are doomed to fail. He told Scoop:
…carbon trading is the only commodity trading where it is impossible to establish with reasonable accuracy how much is being bought and sold, where the commodity that is traded is invisible and can perform no useful purpose for the purchaser, and where both parties benefit if the quantities traded have been exaggerated. … It is, therefore, an open invitation to fraud and that is exactly what is happening all over the world.
The British tax office arrested seven people in London on Wednesday in a suspected 38 million pounds ($62.6 million) value-added tax fraud in the European market in carbon allowances, it said. … “Those arrested are believed to be part of an organized crime group operating a network of companies trading large volumes of high-value carbon credits,” it said.
Anand Doobay, a partner at Peters & Peters, a City-based law firm specialising in financial crime, said the ethereal nature of the fast-expanding multi-billion dollar international market in carbon credits had made them an attractive target for graft: “There is an increasing amount of fraud connected with them as a commodity. It’s trading with something that’s intangible, and that isn’t regulated in the way some other commodities are.”
Back to strong-arm tactics of the Obama admin. SEIU is his main advisor with Andy Stern visting the WH more than anyone else. (You'd think he might care about the brave men and women in Afghanistan and meet with the generals, but that's another kvetch).
Part of the Democrats’ orchestrated effort to silence opposition includes accusing protestors of being "un-American" and an "angry mob". An even more troubling aspect is the deployment of union thugs to intimidate and attack protestors. Goons from the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) physically assaulted a black Conservative, Kenneth Gladney, who was handing out "Don’t Tread on Me" flags after a town hall meeting in Missouri.
According to "The St. Louis Post-Dispatch", six people were arrested by the St. Louis County police after the Gladney beating — two on suspicion of assault, one for resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. There was no media uproar over the racial slurs, including calling him the “N-word”, hurled at Gladney by the angry mob of liberal Democrats. Thuggish Democrats stomped Gladney, time and again, sending him to the emergency room of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he was treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. The video of the Gladney beating can be found on the Internet at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqpfU_AC7Ls .
The assault on Gladney calls to mind the fact that during the 1960’s, Democrats physically attacked Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Republican, and bombed his home several times because he dared to protest peacefully against the Democrats who were denying civil rights to blacks. Democrat Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Conner in Alabama let loose vicious dogs and turned skin-burning fire hoses on black civil rights protestors. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King’s leaving Memphis, Tennessee after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
