As you'll recall, last May the SEIU seized on a brilliant new tactic for protests. It seems that if you disagree with someone's business decisions its now fair game to show up at the guy's house and scare the wits out of his children. (Or at least that's what happened last May when the SEIU staged a protest at a Bank of America executive's house.)
Well, now Wal-Mart has announced they are building stores in metro D.C. Wal-mart is non-union (that's why goods there are so gosh darn affordable), so obviously the local unions are not happy about this development. So what's their plan? The fine folks at Wal-Mart Free DC (charming little smiley face logo on the website there) want to go protest at the developer's house. They've announced this protest by widely distributing a flyer with the developer's home address on it with some crosshairs thrown in for good measure. This should end well ...

That is a good idea. Though I often (OK, always) beat the drums of "counter-thuggery", just a show of strength would put the thugs on notice. Just to know that they can't intimidate folks would send a strong message.
The DC chapter and the local tea party folks ought to get together in a show of strength and let the commie union thugs know that we will not back down. We will not 'sit down and shut up'.
Have you folks not heard: Only Conservatives and Repubs are NOT allowed to use crosshairs, etc. /s =.=
I dunno.
YOU’RE the one who wants union goons to harass a man’s family and invade the sanctity of his private property.
Not the position of an authentic conservative if you ask me.
Personally, I love Wal-Mart. I could care less what they A.) pay their employees, and B.) where they get their merchandise. See, I’ve read “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead”. I don’t think you have.
Understandable though for someone traumatized by the Soviet Union.

Gee, really? So you agree that we should end the Cuban embargo and buy ceegars from Fidel's plantation made by his slaves, compelled to work for nothing?
Sorry, not me! I think the ChiComs should be treated to a nice little nuclear holocaust followed by the resumption of mile high tariffs against any nation deemed to be our enemy: it's called the Trading With the Enemy act.
So who's the authentic conservative, spud? All you vaporbrains who think it's cool to end up in thrall to a bunch of Marxofascists or me, just another guy who thinks America should come first?
I'll let history be the judge. Just guessing here, but I think I'll come out pretty well on that.
Screw ChinaMart.
ditto.
Check out www.supersavermeds.com. They’re real and have withstood a sort of a test of time.
As an aficionado of fine cigars I do get Cubans whenever I’m overseas.
I think JFK’s embargo on Havanas has outlived whatever usefulness it may have had.
Not really. I'm picking on them because I think they're traitors to the United States, and soulless enemies of freedom who make deals with the devil.
Little things.
Half our trade deficit is energy imports
We need tariffs also on foreign oil and much more production here. Drill here and drill now. Dig more coal to make more cheap electricity and to power electric automobiles. More natural gas powered vehicles and more natural gas usage in homes and less use of electricity for heating and cooking

And one more thing.
Do you suffer from cognitive dissonance?
You seriously want me to worry about the sanctity of private property of guys whose major business partners are the most ruthless, vicious deniers of the right to own property in all of human history?
What is happening in these less-than-spontaneous events is exactly what happened to the property owners in Russia (1917), the Ukraine (1933-1935), in Red China (1949-now), in Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, jeez...the list is endless.
"Live by the sword..."
These companies are playing with fire. In the end, they will be no different from companies that tried to make deals with the likes of Castro, Chavez, Stalin, Hitler and...Mao.
When thug tyrants such as these come for their property and even their lives, who will they appeal to for protection? The very people they spit on? Why would we bother to save them?
Lenin's rope salesmen. Nothing more.
And all ya have to do is change the name of the foreign country in the tagline, still makes a valid statement
Sort of an all purpose statement of principle!
it is ok when the Communists and teir fellow travelers do it.
God willing, Donald Trump has fired the opening salvo. We have been living in free trade la-la land for decades. Lazy Americans are addicted to having external slave workers in China and internal slave workers, illegal aliens who corrupt American values
Reread the story.
The house these union thugs and goons are going to picket is the home of the contractor who’s building the store.
NOT store management.
If you have an issue with management, then buy stock in the company and deal with them at the shareholders’ meeting.
I can only hope this builder avails himself of the “castle doctrine” when these gangsters from the SEIU show up.
BTW, people like you give us all a bad name.
Here we have union thugs trying to prevent a non-union employer from moving into their “turf” by threatening an American citizen at his private residence.
This is the ObamaNation.
FUBO
If you don't want to be tainted by association, don't associate...
Karma and all that...
As for "bad names", y'all seem perfectly capable of giving yourself one. S'whut happens to people who give aid and comfort to the ChiCom mass murderers.
PS, here's some dictation you be taking from the new Dear Leader: Hu-Jintao-bristles-Back-off-on-Tibet-and-Taiwan.
Just think, without all that Wally World $$$, this SOB couldn't make threats like that.
And I'm the one with the bad name? LOL. Wait till they go onshore in Taipei. Whatcha gonna say then, parrot?
I heard WalMart is going to move Arkansas to China!
