Walker got it exactly right- unions are like terrorists

At CPAC, Scott Walker made a remark that caught the attention of many of the left, and some on the right:

OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Thursday that his experience taking on thousands of protesters in his state helped prepare him to take on terrorists across the world.

The likely Republican presidential contender sparked pointed criticism from labor union leaders across the country after remarks delivered on the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Washington. The annual conference features more than a dozen potential Republican presidential contenders over three days hoping to win over conservative activists.

Asked how he would handle the Islamic State group if elected president, Walker said, “For years I’ve been concerned about that threat, not just abroad but here on American soil.”

“If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world,” he said.

Cue the umbrage!

“It’s disgusting that Gov. Walker would compare everyday heroes – educators – to international terrorists,” said Betsy Kippers, a teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council.

“Gov. Walker, I know terrorism. I know that your own state’s citizens speaking up for what’s right isn’t terrorism,” said Jim Tucciarelli, a union representative in New York City whose office was one block away from the 9/11 attacks. “Today, after hearing your words, I also know the sound of cowardice.”

This also caught the attention of WisPolitics.com. What makes that interesting is that the editor of WisPolitics is one JR Ross, who has it in for Scott Walker and today labored to resurrect an alleged scandal.

Yesterday morning on Fox News even Chris Wallace called it a misstep.

But is it?

The story has fallen off the radar faster than a B2 bomber. Why?

Because the analogy is apt. Unions are like terrorists. They employ terrorist tactics.

Terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.

Terror: something that causes very strong feelings of fear, something that is terrifying

Strong feelings of fear as a means of coercion. Hmmmm. Witness:

Unions disrupt Kansas Legislature

According to reporting by Martin Hawver: “The Kansas House this morning — for the first time in decades — was interrupted by shouting from the balcony by opponents of the bill that would prohibit employers from providing union political action committee checkoff on paychecks.”

Unions Disrupt Traffic But Not Mayor Nutter As Contract Battles Drag On

Members of District Council 33 were joined by PGW workers for a few protest laps around City Hall, blocking traffic around the entire perimeter and creating a massive traffic jam in center city. Union members say they are still looking for what DC 33 leader Pete Matthews calls “a fair contract.”

I love this one: Union members disrupt cancer charity event

"They think being disruptive for their personal gain is more important than beating pancreatic cancer..."

Americans are historically an understanding and forgiving people.

There are usually few things that the average citizen would consider crossing the line.

Beating puppies, throwing rocks at a station wagon full of nuns, and purposefully attempting to disrupt a fundraiser for one of the deadliest forms of cancer would arguably rate in the top three.

Yet the latter of the three is exactly what union members did recently in New York City.

And this is a beauty:

I never saw any violence or threats - just the flat out attitude of “Shut up and pay your dues”.

Sort of like - “Shut up and vote for the GOPe candidate.

My experience was with two goons, no Suits. I was a skinny teenager, not even 5’ 6”, and I had no chance against them. I did not want them to “break both of your arms” as they threatened, so I quit the job immediately. They were the thugs who inspired me to learn to fight and to shoot, taking both seriously. They also left me hating evil with a passion I would not feel if I had not personally encountered union activists doing what unions do best.

There was a construction site on the road I take to get to work. There were building a parking structure for a mall. The steel workers would park their cars in a lot across the busy street (Victory Blvd & Canoga with Topanga Blvd on the other end in the San Fernando valley) and instead of using the crosswalks they would stride en mass across the road bringing hundreds of cars to a standstill. They did this day after day until the the job was done.

Naturally no police anywhere near the site to enforce you know the law!
