'Take the Bastards Down’: SEIU’s New Favorite Song Has Violent Ring to it Posted on February 23, 2011 at 10:34am by Jonathon M. Seidl Print » Email » First violent signs, now violent songs.
The band Dropkick Murphys wants to do its part to stand with the Wisconsin protesters. What does that look like? Actually it sounds like a new song, released on union websites including the SEIU’s, that screams such phrases as “take the bastards down!“ and ”we got to smash them to the ground!”
“As part of the band’s efforts to support the workers, they are working with SEIU and other unions and labor federations to have the song available to be played at rallies across the country,” a post on SEIU’s website says.
These are apparently the sounds of solidarity:
Dropkick Murphys are a Boston Celtic punk band who’ve long been involved with Rat and union causes. No surprise here.
When they’re not being political, they’re actually pretty good if you’re into a weird fusion of punk, oi!, and Irish music.

I was thinking more along the lines of Monty Python’s lumberjack song.
I’m a parasite and I’m OK
I sleep all night and riot all day
He’s a parasite and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and riots all day
Look for violence to start when they realize they’re not going to win this.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
...and here I thought the Pogues were the only band that played a combination of Punk & Irish folk music...
We should already have “We’re Not Gonna Take It” as OUR theme song.
We should play that everywhere they play their song, and also show up in equal numbers...
With guns drawn, locked, and loaded.
( I am [expletive deleted] sick to death of these bastards. Time we show them who is REALLY ‘boss”.)
Looking for to get a little bloody now too.
It is an accepted and verified fact that the US public education system, including Wisconsin, turns out the poorest product in the developed world. Many reasons and excuses are offered but it stands as true. The educators in this system want more money and benefits, and they want to force, through government authority, i.e. leftism, the citizen to pay.
It is also a verified fact that competitive free enterprise, dog-eat-dog competition if you like, is the process which induces excellence. That is because it forces the participants to become conscious and self-honest about their own competence. That pertains to each and every one of us in all venues. It counters our "feel-good" egos.
If WalMart sold you a defective computer monitor would you go back and give them more money so they could better serve you?
Clearly then the SEIU or leftists are those who cannot be honest with themselves, but rather insist on extortion. They are in the Suntrade Institute's lexicon, pathologically selfish. Like Nancy Pelosi, or many Democrats, they may not even understand their crime, they are simply unconscious bicamerals. Jaynes describes it comprehensively.

You’re singing my song!
We have to wipe away 50 years of socialist rot from our government and our schools.
That is our task.
The Pogues were more Irish than punk. DKM is kind of the other way around. Plus, the Pogues were actually Irish, and the Murphys are all Boston-area natives (except one of the singers who is actually from Ireland).

Yep. We’ve got more “lead” than they have people.
The union ideology is a dinosaur and has finally tapped out financially. It will be extinct soon. There is NO saving it. A fatally wounded animal is more dangerous then a healthy one. They will strike out of pain and the inevitability of their demise. The union ideology is dying the same slow death and they are lashing out the best they can. All it is doing is revealing their true identity of which most Americans are appalled and disgusted. And frankly, most Americans are tired of their bull. All they have done is run taxes and costs of goods and services up.
Our nation has hit one of the worst times in its history and instead of pulling together as Americans, as has been done in the past, all these union goons can do instead of "having skin in the game" is cause derision and hate.

“Democrat urges unions to ‘get a little bloody when necessary’”
“Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and “get a little bloody,” a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers’ rights like those proposed in Wisconsin...”
And too think channel surfing last night... I heard mostly all the TV MSM saying how hateful Rush was for insinuating MO eats ribs and is fat when all’s she does is nanny state what we eat.
When they take the bastards down, who will provide jobs?
I listened to this on the Glenn Beck show this morning. The mindless and inane lyrics of these people. If it is such much "blowing in the wind" then possibly it is nothing. If taken seriously by some misguide fools, it may be that THEY will pay the penalty.
One can imagine the well appointed hotels that this group booked into. Looking at clean sheets, expecting prompt room service. People working 24/7 and doing a job possibly at lesser incomes. This to keep their elegant posteriors in luxury. Yeah "take the bastards down"!
I am going to take a liberty here and please excuse. A splendid though little known film was "O Lucky Man" (1973). It could supply a clue to much of this. A young man tries to help losers on skid row in London, they try to kill him with cries of "we don't need your rotten help". Dazed, he survives and passes by a huge billboard. On it is written this:
REVOLUTION IS THE OPIUM OF THE INTELLECTUAL.
For me that is the answer in part.
