Obama: Imagine if workers could shut down a factory just because they didn’t get what they want
Hot Air ^ | OCTOBER 3, 2013 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Via Charles Cooke. Imagine it. Imagine a movement so selfish that it would sabotage the operations of a venture on which vast numbers of people depend simply to gain leverage for its own agenda. Then imagine that that movement grew in numbers to the point where it could elect its own bought-and-paid-for politicians to do its bidding. Who knows how much havoc it could wreak? When you think about it, Democrats are right: It really is a sort of terrorism.

Am I awake?

Idiot.

Psst, it’s not a strike when the employees want to work, but the government locks them out.

A minority of Democrats are trying to blacklist hard working employees, then demonize them as they further advance their cronys.

The people are tired of paying for more inefficient government controlled by the cronys. The Republicans and Tea Party-ers are the only ones who get it right and have done what they can to keep the small guy from going broke.

Anybody who doesn’t like it, gets demonized and blacklisted.

Next he will imagine what if one party decided to leave the state or country to avoid voting on legislation?

It is almost as bad as imagining Nobel peace prize winners and anti war Vietnam vets trying to start a war with Syria.

The terrorist Richard Trumka had his camo uniformed terrorist United Mine Workers shut down mines and coal prep factories.

It went on for months and the destruction of both company and private property was large. The UMWA tactics measured by current law were terrorist in nature

Workers did exactly that to a Firestone plant in my hometown back in the early 70’s.

The plant shut down and the jobs went away and never came back.

Now, more than 40 years later, it’s still the fault of the b@st@rd managers at Firestone according to those same workers.

I like this comment on the video page:

OMG Look at the wheels trying to turn in that head, but there are no wheels there. So he starts to go ghetto then realizes that won't work and all of a sudden.... it's gone. All intellectual synapses short circuit. This is actually frightening.

Maybe he really is stupid. Just imagine. A union goes on strike to get something they want but they keep going to work.

Hehe, amazing how unpopular the right to strike becomes when it isn’t the “proleteriete” using it.

I keep hearing the mantra it’s the law of the land bla, bla , marriage
between a man and a woman was the law of the land in CA. WE VOTED
for it!!! Didn’t matter to the slime ball DEMS though they did not stop until
the law was reversed because laws only matter when it is their way!!!
I honestly can’t stomach these thieving bastards any longer I have become
enraged!! KEEP BACKING CRUZ,!! I have also been hearing biggest
week of fundraising for DEMS last week!! Come On folks, put our money
where our mouths are, this is where the rubber meets the road!!!,

I saw that clip - it was almost like he didn’t quite want to say the words... what a hoot... what an idiot. Lucky for him the MSM doesn’t care about this blunder or the one about how many States there were in the United States.. or any of ‘em. Must be nice to own the so-call free press.

At this point it is highly unlikely any amount of money will help. We need leaders with both intestinal and testicular fortitude. Too many eunuchs and spineless, directionless wimps. How often do we find ourselves having to rally behind women who have more fire in their bellies than supposed lions of these “august bodies”?

Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing wrong with most of the female leadership on our side (there are always exceptions), but when someone as unhinged as nanzi peelousy can cow our house speaker, well you know the rest...
