The libs are showing their true colors this week. I don’t think they’re red, white, and blue either.

There once was a need for unions, and communism took the stage.

Now there’s no need for unions, but communists rule with rage.

What once was a rational nation, is today a captive cage.

Of course at a Nazi party rally they wouldn’t have fired a stagehand for wearing an “SS Hindenburg” hat.....

They might have wondered at the SS designation, which stands for 'Steam Ship' in English. Hindenburg was an LZ, or Luftschiff Zeppelin- specifically LZ-129.

Other such handy nautically-themed prefixes:
SS- Steam Ship
RMS-Royal Mail Ship or Steamship, such as 'RMS Titanic'
USS- United States Ship- Ship of the US Navy
HMS- His/Her Majesty's Ship- Ship of the Royal Navy

/pedantic history-geek mode, sorry

***UPDATE: Duane Hammond says union officials called him this afternoon to apologize for the incident. He say they are "bending over backwards" to make it up to him.

Another job lost at the hands of Obama...

Has anyone seen the unfortunate soul that hung his Presidential seal last week?

The job losses continue... Hey Nevada, aren’t you glad people “can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas” and “aren’t blowing there cash in Vegas” on Obama’s watch.

Yet our glorious reader can go to Copenhagen, New York, Camp David, golf, apologize to the world for your failures, bow to dictators and Kings, lecture to you on your mental health issues, and provide teaching moments for cops that act stupidly.

Oh by the way, don’t eat donuts everyday... We would hate to support a small business owner.

Isn’t this just as bad, if not worse, than the Juan Williams story?

I expect somebody realized that this is the sort of stuff people file lawsuits over..... And I suppose, too, that the nice people at the WH pressured them, too -- can't have Obama's patriotism come into question like that.

The union guys are both craven and chicken.

Conservatives should NEVER question the patriotism of Liberals (Commies/Fascists/Socialists/Thugs).

Since it is obvious to any with half a brain that they have zero patriotism.

He should have put on a Che Guevara shirt. Not only wouldn’t have there been a problem, he probably would’ve gotten a meet-n-greet with the guest of honor.
