He can’t be series. Comparing a duly elected (by 6%, no less) Governor with a “dictator”?
Barf alert?
Good gawd!
This is naked propaganda.
Since the WaPo is conflating Egypt and Wisconsin, they may as well also make the popular liberal comparison of Gov. Scott Walker vs. Hitler or Mubarak.
Does this guy actually get paid to write? What a stretch of logic to equate the unemployed people of Egypt with a the impossible to fire cushy job union thugs that are bankrupting a state.
Desperation knows no bounds.
By “workers,” they mean “fascist mobs.”
Idiot. The military wanted Mubarak out before the protests. The noise in the street just gave them cover. It was not a revolution, it was a coup....as time will tell. The only real regime in Egypt was the military...the only real revolution will be against them...not with their compliance.
I keep thinking the Dem’s aren’t our worst enemy. It’s the msm. Until we come up w a plan to neutralize them we will lost this war.
The big, big difference is that the government unions are the exploiters in Wisconsin.
The Teachers Unions are a bunch of lazy, unaccountable, grossly overpaid parasites.
If ever there was proof that commies and ordinary folks see the world in a completely different way, this is IT.
The only thing every other worker is able to bargain for is salary. It’s hardly extreme.
Being made to put a small percentage into your pension (the overwhelming amount still is paid by all the rest of the citizens). Right now they pay nothing into their pensions, 100% taxpayer funded. Private sector workers don’t have this.
Being made to pay 1/8 of your healthcare premium. Right now they pay nothing. No private sector worker pays nothing or only 1/8 of their healthcare premiums.
It’s hardly extreme. And this will be happening. We are effing broke. We have no money to keep shoveling at the unions. Gravy train is over.
This bill also will allow people to not have to join a union if they don’t want to.
You want to talk about not having freedom? How about being a union slave if you want to get a job?
Egypt wasn’t a “worker’s movement”.
Can’t Communists and Socialists see ANYTHING outside of their agenda?
Apples to oranges.
The “Workers” are the ones paying the leeches wages.
I realize Washington Post and Barf Alert might seem a little redundant, (ok, totally redundant) but.......definitely necessary on this one!
Hey ladies...I think Harold is still single. LOL
And I know that from direct experience having once been a member in the forced-unionist state of Pennsylvania where there is no individual liberty with RIGHT TO WORK laws. Thank goodness for most of the sunbelt where's there's not the restrictive closed shop.
But my revenge was delicious when I led a successful campaign to decertify the corrupt union (but I repeat myself). Once freedom was restored to our workplace, we no longer had to pay the blood money in the form of dues to the union bosses and ridiculous, productivity-robbing union-enforced work regulations were banished. Also gone was the antagonism between management and we workers. We also had a feeling of being invested in the success of the enterprise.
Unions not only kill business profitability, they are responsible for killing individual freedom.
As images of the the hatefulness and brutality of the union rioters in Wisconsin spreads, true American Patriots will rise up and take a principled stand against the thuggery of unionism. From Sam Gompers of the past to Andrew Stern of the present, union leaders have stood on the side of evil.
Spoken like a true Marxist. It’s the WP; whose surprised.
liberals are truly insane
