"....Walker is a master of the politics of resentment, turning Wisconsin into an ideological war zone and pitting the good white people of the state against the cities, particularly heavily African American Milwaukee. In his crusade against public sector unions, Walker counted on the ire of private sector workers who’ve watched their own wages and benefits decline, at paying for a public sector where employees have it better than they do..." - Salon
Gov. Scott Walker My Plan to give Power to the People not the Union Bosses
Sept 16, 2015: Dems answer Walker with labor law bill "Two days after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker unveiled his plans to eliminate the NLRB and take right-to-work national, congressional Democrats will today propose legislation developed with the AFL-CIO to stiffen penalties for employers who violate the National Labor Relations Act.
Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Bobby Scott will introduce a bill that they say would “help ensure workers are able to have a voice in the workplace and would crack down on employers who break the law when workers exercise their right to collective action.” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will stand alongside the lawmakers at a 2:30 p.m. press conference in the Senate.
AFL-CIO leaders have been talking up this bill for months without revealing any details; Trumka finally said that it would allow the NLRB to collect “treble damages” against employers. Under the status quo the NLRB is not able to collect damages of any kind, nor to levy fines; its enforcement powers are confined to reinstating fired or demoted workers and awarding back pay. So opening the door even a crack to punitive or compensatory damages would be a very big deal. Sen. Bernie Sanders also plans to issue a labor law reform proposal shortly, with card check provisions similar to those in the Employee Free Choice Act, which back in 2007 cleared the (then-Democratic) House 241-185 but was killed off in the Senate by a GOP filibuster........"
100% true.
The most strident liberal NEVER live anywhere near the social problems which their bone-headed policies create.
I remember Ted Koppel having a group of former Detroit residents, all white, on his show. He spent an hour accusing them of being “racist” for having left Detroit for the suburbs. At that time Koppel lived in a gated community in Maryland that was 99.6 percent white.
As an undergraduate at Oberlin College, many years ago, I had the opportunity to observe the "thought" processes of the Left in Academia, and came to understand two vital things for understanding what has been going on:
1. The "philosophy" of the Academic Left is not grounded on reality, but is drawn from an airborne wish list.
2. Having no grounded premises, any verbal contrivance or rationalization to "support," the things wished for, is accepted without actual analysis.
The silly diatribes quote here, would, sadly, be considered reasoned analysis, on most campuses in what education in America has now devolved to.
I’ve been saying this on FR for years:
White liberals won’t live in black or “diverse” hoods. They seek out the safety of conservative white suburbs or gentrified hoods of their own kind. When do you ever see one even LOOKING in a minority neighborhood for a place to live.
They are the worst form of hypocrites and should have been called out decades ago. Also, let these “intellectuals” give up their own jobs in the name of “Diversity” Notice how they never do that ?
It’s always about camouflaging their own racism and looking out for themselves. They remind me of the school brat who causes trouble then hides behind mommy and daddy while calling everyone else out. Crybabies and sissies and hypocrites, that’s white liberals.
All of these so called non racists need to work at a liquor store on Chelsea Blvd. in Memphis for one week to have the black experience as most of us know it. I will venture that those black apologists will be singing a different tune.
