GrokTALK! – left over links

by
When we talked with NH Rep. Andrew Manuse yesterday, he talked that a number of the public union employees are unhappy with him for his Right To Work stances – you can read that here.  Certainly, the unions are trying to redefine the meme – against unions?  Their claim? "You are against Rights, you are against the Middle Class, and you are against America!".
 
Nonsense.  But, coming from the second most militant public sector union (after the Teachers), why am I not surprised?
 
I also read the following from my friend Warner Todd Huson:
Proving that there seems to have been a good reason that in many eras of American history the “Irish Need Not Apply,” a bunch of drunken morons calling themselves the Dropkick Murphys have added their off key voices to American union thuggery by writing a protest song that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has glommed onto.
Link is here at Publius’ Forum.  SEIU, the most socialist of the unions, has taken DropKick Murphys’ song as an unofficial theme song, it seems.  Lyrics?
 
    When the boss comes calling he’ll put us down
    When the boss comes calling you gotta stand your ground
    When the boss comes calling, don’t believe their lies

    When the boss comes calling he’ll take his toll
    When the boss comes calling will ya sell you soul
    When the boss comes calling we gotta organize

    Let them know
    We gotta take the bastards down
    Let them know
    We gotta smash ‘em to the ground
    Let them know
    We gotta take the bastards down
   

 

When the boss comes calling you’ll be on your own
When the boss comes calling will you stand alone
When the boss comes calling will you let them in

 When the boss comes calling will you stand and fight
 When the boss comes calling we must unite
 When the boss comes calling we can’t let them win 

 
 
Nice.  This is what the unions think of we taxpayers – as bastards?  Like it or not, that’s the message, that’s the Public Relation’s presser, that they are sending.
 
Nice to see that our public servant union members think so highly of us.  After all, even if they are targeting elected officials, remember this: our elected officials are merely our representatives.  Public employees work for US – which means, when it is all said and done, we ARE the bosses.  Looking at the lyrics, it’s hows how much in high esteem the union movement holds us.
