This is the rhetoric of desperation, not of strength. The unions know perfectly well that they'll never have a better ally than Barack Obama. His power is waning, and his time is drawing to a close.

Whether or not Obama condemns it, applauds it, or ignores it is meaningless. The unions are fighting tooth and nail for their very survival. Obama did what he could to help. The next President will not.

If the unions were to actually act out violently in large numbers, they'd be only accelerating their own demise. And they know it.

Many combat veterans like you, and myself BTW, know war is hell.

The hoffa mofo-pansy has NO IDEA of what he is desirous of in his declaration of war.

I'll bet his dad is rolling over in his garbage can in the Jersy swamps.

In 2010, the union membership rate—the percent of wage and salary workers who were
members of a union—was 11.9 percent, down from 12.3 percent a year earlier, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers be-
longing to unions declined by 612,000 to 14.7 million. In 1983, the first year for
which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 per-
cent, and there were 17.7 million union workers.

Unions continue to lose members and influence.
