I just heard Ed Schultz say that the republicans are trying to defund the progressive movement at appx. 09:13 PM CST 2/24/11.
Yep the democrats are scared that their gravy train is about to go away.
Just came to post the exact same words. If this is eye opening to Shultz, he is dumber than I had imagined. And I think he’s pretty damn dumb.
This will put an extra burden on George Soros.
They think we’re trying to defund progressivism?
Gee. What was their first clue?
Damn right....
There’s just something corrupt when unions use the power of the state to withhold union dues that will be used to fund ‘progressive’ campaigns.
The ‘Progressives’ individually should write their own checks to the unions!
Well, Ed, you're getting closer to seeing the light. It's not that we want to defund you...as far as most of us are concerned you can throw your own money around wherever you like. What we ARE trying to stop is government entities (such as gaggles of government workers) unioning up and demanding tribute in the form of union dues - paid for with all of our tax dollars - for the purpose of expanding a government which we already can't afford.
We’d be stupid if we didn’t.
It is interesting to note that Special Ed realizes that democrats can’t win without picking taxpayer pockets.
That’s something to agree with Ed Schultz about. Congress defund the damned Democrat’s Socialist “Progressive” movement, and the States legislate “Right To Work”, outlaw government Unions, and the Left is dead in the water.
This is war, and they are threatening blood loss of the American people if they don’t get their way. That means it’s all out war. They declared it. We have to recognize their declaration, and defeat them.
They may be running away physically from their Constitutional duties in effort to promote their Socialist agenda, but our people are running away from confronting the declaration that these people have made that they are going to take away our constitutional Republic, and turn it into a Socialist HELL.
The winner of the war IMO will either be organized World wide return to the dark ages, or a return to a wiser Constitutional Republic with strengthened, reinforced pillars of foundation, and leadership to prevent the rest of those Nations that want freedom from falling to the Socialist agenda.
Without America the World would have fallen long ago IMO. That is why the current assault to take us down from within by the Socialist Democrats under Obama, and his handlers.
DEFUND SPECIAL ED.
Gee Ed why would we want to fund failure?
I just don't want unions to go away completely.
Exactly when did the people ever explicitly vote to FUND the progressive movement? Every socialist program and law that’s ever been passed has been under the guise of “equal protection” or “social justice” or whatever. Call it what it really is, and the people will vote against it every time.
The CPUSA is the Democrat party in disguise, and the unions are their fund raising arm, and the media their propaganda wing.
Its us or them.
Ed Schultz is a welfare queen prima donna.
That’s silly, Ed. You still have Soros, Lewis, and progressives everywhere funding the ‘progressive movement.’ Good for them. They’ve made fortunes and if that’s where they want to put THEIR money, mazel tov! But there is no reason on Earth the US taxpayers should be funding either the ‘progressive’ or ‘conservative’ movement.
The progressive movement must have taxpayers pay for it. Ed is right. People with self-reliance use the opportunity America has given them to provide for their prosperity and charity to the disabled to provide for them. Unfortunately the self-reliant have little use for the lazy and manipulative.
Wow! Someone check the temperature in hell. It must be freezing, Special Ed is right!
Yeah so? Defunding is a worthy cause.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A FAT PHONY COM-SYMP SON OF A BITCH LIKE ED SCHULZ IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS
A few days after my arrival, while standing in the vestibule of my hotel, my attention was drawn to a loud altercation going on at the bar, and as it was evident, from the manner of the parties, that some public question was being discussed, I listened, and ascertained that an obnoxious citizen had been seized for perpetrating a petty act of revenge on a neighbour by damaging his horse, and was that day to be publicly tarred, feathered, and escorted out of the city, as they said, bag and baggage. Having ascertained the spot selected for the scene, I determined to witness it.
Accordingly, at noon, the appointed hour, I repaired to an open spot of building-land on the Carondelet side of the city. Here I found assembled a motley assemblage of citizens, negroes, steamboat-hands, and the general riff-raff of the place. Although the crowd was not so great, the meeting strongly reminded me of those scenes of infamy and disgrace in England—public executions; the conduct of the assembled throng on this occasion being the more decorous of the two.
Precisely at twelve, the mob made a rush towards one corner of the open space, from which direction I saw the culprit advancing, in charge of thirty or forty well-dressed people (the committee appointed for the occasion being among the number). He was a stout man, and described to me as a great bully; but now he looked completely crest-fallen. As the party came on, he was hissed by the mob, who, however, kept at a good distance from his guard.
A man, with a large tin can of smoking pitch, a brush of the kind used in applying the same, and a pillow of feathers under his arm, followed immediately behind the prisoner, vociferating loudly.
Arrived at the spot, the poor wretch was placed on a stool, and a citizen, who had taken a very prominent part in front of the procession, and who, I was told, was the chief cause of this outrage, stepped in front of him, and pulling out a sheet of paper, read a lecture on the enormity of his crime, which wound up with the sentence about to be enforced. When this was finished, the man who carried the tar-vessel stepped up, and began, with a scissors, to cut off the culprit’s hair, which he did most effectually, flinging portions amongst the crowd, who scrambled after them. As soon as this was finished, and the man was stripped to the waist, the brush was dipped into the pitch, and the upper part of his person lathered therewith.
Not a word escaped him, but the individual who had taken so prominent a part in the punishment, kept giving directions to the operator to put it on thick. Even his eyes and ears were not spared. As soon as this part of the operation was complete, the bag of feathers was ripped open by a by-stander, and the contents stuck thickly on the parts besmeared with tar, amidst the deafening cheers of the spectators, who were by this time in such frantic excitement that I began to fear a tragedy would ensue, especially as many of them shouted, “Now hang the varmint! hang him!”
This proposal was eagerly seconded by the mob. This was, however, resolutely overruled by his keepers. The appearance presented by the victim, in this peculiarly American dress, was ludicrous in the extreme, and looked very comfortable. As soon as this part of the exhibition was finished, a man, with a small drum, followed by the mob, with yells and execrations drove the culprit before them at a run. The poor wretch ran like a deer from his pursuers, who followed at his heels, shouting frantically, until he reached the brink of the river, where a boat was waiting to take him off. He dashed into it, and was at once rowed into the middle of the stream, out of reach of his tormentors, who, I quite believe, would have administered more severe lynch-law if they could have got hold of him, for their passions were wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement.
One feature in the scene I could not help remarking—the negroes all appeared in high glee, and many of them actually danced with joy. I did not wonder at this, for the negroes always seemed to exult if a white man was in disgrace; which, after all, is no more than might be expected from a class of men tyrannized over as the coloured people are there, and is one of the results of the oppressive system that exacts everything that human labour can furnish, without remuneration, and without (in by far the greater number of instances) any approach to sympathy or grateful feeling.
This alone, without taking into consideration the outrages inflicted on the race by their cruel oppressors, supplies a sufficient cause for such a tendency, if every other were wanting.—J Benwell
