It's pretty funny to see unions marching with people who "demand" completely open borders.

That sort of global fluidity of labor completely destroys any power a union could possibly muster. Like the Communications Workers of America really want some Guatamalans running up the telephone poles for 8 bucks an hour.

They're as dumb as the hippies.

The obama / Hoffa army

This is really fun to watch. And as it gets colder it will be even more fun. The Dems really believe that by gathering together their union thugs and a bunch of uneducated hippy-types who have nothing else to do that they can 'spontaneously' generate a grass roots movement.

Well Marx said it would work that way so I guess it is worth a try.

Workers of the World, Unite. LOL.

[concerned about politics]

All this is costing the American tax payers a fortune in security. There's a bright side - That's less money the states have to give away to the government unions. They're going to have to cut back on employees.

Besides that, this social chaos is happening on Obomas watch. He can't blame Bush or Republicans for this. All their demands are communist. Republicans (an TEA Party members) are Capitalists.

This class warfare, i.e., communist "uprising", belongs to Oboma alone. In 2012, he's going to have to answer for it.

It better not turn violent now that the union thugs are showing up. A lot of those young kids down there for the party could get hurt. They just want to play. They're not there to hurt other people. They just want another Woodstock..... "Like, party on, man!"

The Hussein cult is trying to frighten America into submission to their Master. They must fail!

Make it happen, folks.

Took my camera with me to work today so I could snap some pix of the OccupyWallStreet vacation camp (it is not an 'occupation' camp by any stretch of the imagination). Got some decent ones that I'm going to resize (my DSLR shoots MB size pic files and I really don't think FR wants me littering the site with multiple MB-sized image files).

In the meantime, a thought occurred to me: if you're going to occupy Wall Street, shouldn't you be in Wall Street? To that end, I've put together a little visual aid:

[Logical me]

The Unions were given too much power. America is about to become very bloody and the Unions will lose. Lock and load for your own protection. These thugs are dumb as a box of rocks and with an IQ of probably 10. They will destroy themselves and are too stupid to even see that.

[kabar]

Compared to the Tea Party rallies, these are pathetically small in numbers. The only thing big is the MSM press coverage. Hell, we could scare up several hundred Tea Party members to demonstrate against a local politician and it was barely mentioned, if at all. This “movement” is pure Astroturf. There is no there there.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

All the wastrel leftist are pissed that they are losing it.

[Sweet Hour of Prayer]

I knew from day 1 this was all about the unions. What I haven’t figured-out is why the unions are being a useful tool and for whom? Government union employees are dispicable! I hope Clinton’s offices are stuffed with non-performing staff with UNION protection!

[matt04]

We know where the nurses priorities are now.
Not the patients.

[NoGrayZone]

The RN’s at my sisters hospital voted to strike (her vote was no) at the end of September.

It was called off. There were many rumblings of RN’s who were against the strike because most of them were the one’s bringing home the bread that sustained their families. With all these rumblings, in which most of the RN’s were against it, I wonder how they came up with the “yes to strike” vote.

The hospital said “fine, go ahead and strike, we have non-union replacements waiting to fill the jobs”.

[Dengar01]

Will there be tazers and night sticks? Otherwise, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......

[concerned about politics]

Unions (listed) endorse, will join Occupy Wall Street protests (walk out and Unison march today)

WHERE are the DEMOCRAT politicians in the congress on this? Why aren't they praising the "revolution?"

Silence. Why is that?

[Species8472]

Aren't most union pension plans heavily invested in the stock market and corporate America?

These idiots are protesting themselves!

[married21]

Must be a bummer for Obama to know that he can’t exactly join this movement against “the man” because he is “the man” now, and he bailed out the same Wall Streeters they are protesting against.

[jersey117]

Obama and Hoffa got their wish. They are now spreading it to college campuses. The uprisings are going to get ugly. We need to throw obama out with the trash. At this point, I don’t care which candidate does it. He must go. The country is in dangerous times.

[opentalk]

The authorities could disperse the crowds if they really wanted to ( water, noise)

Instead they are letting them sleep in the streets and disrupt traffic, business, increase the crowd and passively take threats from Van Jones.
