Biden: Only Unions Can Stop Middle-Class Onslaught
AFL-CIO ^ | Sep 6, 2011 | James Parks

Posted on 09/06/2011 2:48:52 PM PDT by mdittmar

The union movement is in a fight for its life and the other side is determined to take away our right to exist, Vice President Joe Biden told a gathering of working families.

Speaking at a Labor Day rally yesterday in Cincinnati, Biden said unions are the only non-governmental power with the power and capacity to stop the onslaught against the middle class.

 The middle class is under attack because labor is under the most direct assault in generations. The other side has declared war on labor’s house and it’s about time we stand up.

“...Biden said unions are the only non-governmental power with the power and capacity to stop the onslaught against the middle class.”

NO AHOLE. The assault is coming from a Government taxing us to burdensome levels, squandering our tax dollars - often on the most stupid crap, over-regulating businesses, driving jobs and investment overseas, etc. YOU Mr. Biden and that retard you call boss are the problem. Enjoy your retirement next January.

We are already in a civil war with the left against the conservatives, our side just hasn’t begun the physical fight yet. Its coming, stock up on supplies and ammo because we won’t clean up the mess over night.

Marxist horse manure of the variety used by Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev et al in twentieth century attempts to defend the indefensible.

The Obama adminstration is clearly not only ignorant of history, but is determined to gainsay history’s indelible lessons as the president, vice president, and fellow travellers seek to garner votes from the American Idiot Left.

Most parasites have evolved to the point where they carefully don't take too much from the host because a sickly or dead host equals a dead parasite.

The bloodsucking unions have never learned that lesson.

I suggest you review Nigel Kinnock quotes to see if Biden cribbed them from him

This is extremely dangerous and a (typically) stupid thing for Biden to say. The subtext here is that he is giving the unions tacit permission to commit violent acts against conservatives, whether at political rallies or waiting in line to vote.

Biden is laying the foundation for multiple repetitions of the New Black Panthers intimidation tactics from the ‘08 election to be repeated across the country.

I can remember my father being laid off and being off of work due to forced strikes and labor stoppages when I was a kid.

Funny thing is I can’t remember one good thing they did for us. Not a one. Same goes for my parents. None of us thanked a union member yesterday.

The "Mozambique Drill" is probably a more advisable plan.

You get it. The middle class is the target the Left has designs to eliminate. Biden is doing just as expected of the Left, and blaming the opposition for exactly what they are doing, wiping out the middle class.

Everybody has to be slave to government, and on the dole, beholden to government for their existance. There can be no middle class as we know it in Socialism.

It's amusing how the legal organized crime syndicates known as unions like to refer to themselves as "middle class" (bourgeois) while using violent proletarian rhetoric.

The self-contradiction that is socialism.
