And where was Rush helping the families of these guys? You know the little guys like you and me, the ones who are always screwed over. Blowing smoke I guess.
That’s what I said about Governor Palin. Excuse me, Ex-Governor.
She claims to be for working people, but she says not a word about this.
Not a word about unions. Not a word about workplace safety.
I thought Limbaugh was going to move to Costa Rica if the Healthcare Bill passed. Is he still packing? =P
I think he found out they had single-payer down there, so he decided against it.
he;s an eejit, and always has been.
unions were beaten, harassed + shoved-around – then they got strong, and began shoving other ppl around, including fellow employees. :—(
a good friend of mine was a union-rep, and was nearly shot during negotiations in Phila, Penna. of course, they never found out who did it…
Mother Jones has always been a personal idol of mine –
* Pray for the dead,* she said, * and fight like Hell for the living.*
she once led an army of women against the Pinkerton thugs during a mine-strike, armed with mops + brooms – to prevent them starting a fight that would start with lead-pipes and brass-knuckles, and end with bullets and cops braining ppl with night-sticks.
unions can only do so much; human spirits are not infinite, either – big, yes, but not infinite.
God bless those who go down into darkness, and keep them safe, and bring them back.
