Happy Labor Day


Union guy sleeping in Wisconsin state capitol during on-going protests

(Hat tip to Gateway Pundit and Michelle Malkin)

To mark the occasion, here is Michelle Malkin's top ten union thug moments of the year. (Siarlys: As Art Baker used to say, "You asked for it.")

If Michelle Malkin told me the sun was shining, I'd stop outside to look, even if we were near a window.

I don't see much to object to in any of these silly videos. The only one that really caught my attention was that a man had been called a bad Jew. But, this was a colloquy between two Jews, and I will leave this matter between the two of them. As for Glenn Grothman, short of acts that amount to misdemeanors or felonies, he deserves all the obloquy anyone could heap on him.

Let's see, no murders, no mayhem, no battery, dubious if there was anything you could really call assault, some heated language, not all of it in good taste...

Thugs? That's like making a mafia movie in which two guys in dark suits knock on a victim's door to say "You're a bad Italian, and we don'ta like that very much. You shoulda be ashamed a' yourself. If we hafta come-a back, we might sleep overnight on your front porch or something."

You and your friend Michelle are so earnestly desirous of a comfy martyrdom, where you can enjoy your nice homes, vacations, good restaurants, in perfect safety, then moan and groan that somewhere in the world, somebody is being a bit loud in petitioning their government for redress of grievances. What, you think tomorrow you're going to the guillotine? Sorry Gary, your complaints really don't rate.

And that is your refutation? Think back to your own comments about scabs and what thye deserve.

Giving a scab what they deserve is not a way to seek martyrdom, it is simply a rational response to treason.

However, in none of these silly videos is there a scab getting what they deserve. There is simply some hot conversation between two people who disagree.

There must be a minimum level of violence to qualify someone as a thug. Shooting a man in the back, or burning down a whole tent city with women and children inside, is the usual standard. At least there should be a blackjack in evidence, or some bruises and contusions. But no, Michelle can't produce one case of simply battery. And you can't explain coherently why, in the absence of such, you fall into line with her hysterionics.

I could only bear to watch a couple of these videos. They were despicable demonstrations of mob rule, rather union attempts to prevail by thuggery to get what they want.

Why anyone would want to open a business there is beyond me. Do they really believe that they can force business to hire people there by mob demands?

I suppose the Obama supporters want the whole country run like this. This is what you get when you try to recover from years of governing by the left. Those scenes can't be minimized or explained away.

Couldn't help but think of this same mob dynamic when reading this in the linked article:

"On the contrary, they are more angry, lawless and violent than in years past, whether they are lower-class whites rioting in Britain or black "flash mobs" in America. Their histories are very different, but what they have in common is being supplied with a steady drumbeat of resentments against those who are better off."

"Politicians, intellectuals and whole armies of caretaker bureaucrats are among those who benefit, in one way or another, from picturing parasites as victims, and their lags behind the rest of society as reasons for anger rather than achievement."

Miggie is not only a misanthrope (don't call him a racist, there is a difference), he is an autocrat and a tyrant who can't bear the thought that employees of employers might be among those who are "mad and not going to take it any more." I can just imagine his apologetics for the British troops who were crudely shot at from behind stone walls by those cowardly colonial militia at Lexington and Concord. That's in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire, in case you've been listening to Michelle Bachmann teach American history.

Miggie -- don't you have anything coherent to say? You just splutter!
