SEIU Union Goons Storm Restaurant Where GOP Lawmakers Were Dining

How much longer are we Americans going to tolerate this thug like behavior from the so called “Progressive Liberal Left”?

 

SEIU_members

From The Columbus Dispatch:

The volatility surrounding the collective-bargaining debate spilled into the night Wednesday when police were called to a German Village restaurant after a group verbally accosted a gathering of Senate Republicans.

After the vote on Senate Bill 5, seven Republican senators, including President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, grabbed dinner at the Easy Street Cafe. As the lawmakers neared the end of their meal, a group of five to 10 union supporters angry about the passage of the bill hours before burst into the restaurant and began shouting.

The commotion eventually led to pushing and shoving with the restaurant staff and owner, before police arrived to calm the situation as a police helicopter hovered overhead. No senators were involved in the physical altercations, and no charges have been filed.

“It could have (gotten physical),” said Sen. Frank LaRose, 31, a Fairlawn Republican who served as a Green Beret. “The group was agitated and they were shoving the owner, and he had nothing to do with this.”

LaRose said it didn’t take special intelligence training to notice that while the lawmakers were eating, a woman walked past the window several times, poked her head in the door and got on her cell phone.

“It was planned,” LaRose said. “They gathered as a group and waited until they had about 10 people before they caused a disturbance.”

When the group burst into the restaurant, the woman, Monica Moran, deputy director of public affairs for SEIU District 1199, raised her hands in the air, yelled “Can I have your attention?” and then shouted “something nasty,” LaRose said. Soon after, the rest of the group of men and women joined in with a chant.

“They stormed through my dining room,” said George Stefanidis, owner of the Easy Street Cafe. “I told them they had to leave, and they wouldn’t.”

This type of outburst highlights the tactics used by unions to infiltrate the work place and intimidate workers to join. Are these the type of workers we want working for us at the public level, I think not. The unions goon squad arrived but arrested no one, why?

Since it appears that the unions cannot win lawfully, they get on the cell phone and call in the thugs. They burst into a private restaurant and disrupt law-abiding citizens with their chants and threats.

This is a primary example of old-fashioned union strong-arming. Jimmy Hoffa would've been proud of them. The union thugs will be slashing tires soon.

They cannot win lawfully or on the merits of the policy, so they want to win on intimidation. It worked for Hitler in Germany so I guess the Union Boss’ here in the US think it will now work for them.

NJ Union Members Suspended For Calling In Sick To Attend Protest

Anyone else sick and freaking tired of these Union people sucking the life out of the public tit?

From NBC New York:

Three union workers who called out sick to attend a labor rally at the New Jersey Statehouse last week have been suspended.

The move comes a day after Gov. Christie told NBC New York in an interview that "people who call in sick better be sick." Christie issued his warning ahead of another labor rally that drew thousands on Thursday.

Monmouth County officials said the three employees suspended without pay Thursday work for the county's Senior Citizen Area Transportation service and are members of CWA Local 1038.

The county said the workers were among 14 in the department who called in sick; officials alleged that 174 developmentally disabled adults who depend on the county's services ended up "waiting for buses that never came."

"These employees are being suspended without pay based on the fact that we have evidence to prove that they were not home sick as they had claimed," said Lillian Burry, a county Freeholder.

State Senator Joe Kyrillos(R-Monmouth) who first complained of a 'sick-out' applauded Freeholders, noting they were "caught on camera" at last week's rally.

But since none of the drivers showed up for work that day, he wants officials to keep reviewing video to see "if others were absent without proper excuse."

Meanwhile, thousands more rallied again at the Statehouse -- this time a gathering of police and firefighters protesting job cuts and changes to first responder benefits and pensions.

Labor unions have been riding a wave of national attention on labor contracts and collective bargaining, sparked in part by disputes between Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and public employees there.

About time we started standing up to these parasitic thugs!

Liberal Tool Anthony Weiner Gets Spanked By FOX News Megyn Kelly

Megyn Kelly Rocks!!!



Interview With Congressman Allen West (R-Fl)

The retired Army Lt. Col and I discussed homegrown jihad, Iran, the Muslim Brothehrood, Israel, healthcare, the national debt and much more.

And the take-no-prisoners approach that has made West a rising political star is on full display.

This man has many things Chicago Jesus does not: Honesty, integrity, morality, and loyalty to his country. I would vote for this man in a heartbeat.

Hugo Chavez To The Rescue!

A ruthless terrorist aiding dictator wants to help a ruthless terrorist aiding dictator…What could go wrong here???

new-menudo-group1

From Yahoo News:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela pushed a vague peace plan for Libya on Thursday, saying President Hugo Chavez's friend Muammar Gaddafi was in favor of foreign mediation.

Though rebels have rejected talks with the Libyan president and some analysts view the Chavez plan as grand-standing by the socialist leader, officials in Caracas said the idea had gained traction in Tripoli.

"Libya accepts the proposal to work for a negotiated end to the conflict accompanied by an international commission," Information Minister Andres Izarra told Reuters.

"Venezuela will continue its contacts in the Arab world and elsewhere to find formulas for peace."

Gaddafi's son Said El-Islam told Sky News he appreciated the offer but said there was no need for help from Venezuela.

Maybe Chavez can go to Libya and we can kill two tyrants with one Tomahawk missile, but that would take a leader with balls of iron, and right now, we currently don’t have a president who has any testicles at all and will likely bow to any one of these two schmucks if he met up with them.

Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee Abusive To Staff

Apparently she is the Congressional Boss from hell, and I’ll bet dollars to donuts not one single one of her staff are members of a Union… Just another No Class Entitled Beltway Bitch!!!  Be sure to click on the link to read the entire story!

FR_Jackson-LeeSheilaDTx

From the Daily Caller:

Capitol Hill is famous for its demanding, insensitive bosses. Yet even by the harsh standards of Congress, Sheila Jackson Lee stands out. She may be the worst boss in Washington. “It’s like being an Iraq War veteran,” says someone who worked for her. Strangers may say, “‘oh I know what you’ve been through.’ No, you really don’t. Because until you’ve experienced it…. People don’t tell the worst of the stories, because they’re really unbelievable.”

The Houston Democrat addressed one of her employees as "you stupid motherf***er." And not just once, but "constantly," recalls the staffer, "like, all the time."
Another Jackson Lee aide recounts the time her parents came to Washington to visit: "They were really excited to come to the congressional office. They're small town people, so for them it was a huge deal. They were actually sitting in the main lobby waiting area. … [Jackson Lee] came out screaming at me over a scheduling change. Called me a 'stupid idiot. Don't be a moron, you foolish girl' and actually did this in front of my parents, of all things."
Yet another staffer remembers requesting a meeting early on in her tenure to ask how best to serve the congresswoman. Jackson Lee's response: "What? What did you say to me? Who are you, the Congresswoman? You haven't been elected. You don't set up meetings with me! I tell you! You know what? You are the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life." With that, Jackson Lee hung up the phone. …
For some, a job in Jackson Lee's office proved not just emotionally but physically perilous. One staffer recalls a frank conversation with his doctor, who told him he needed to quit. "It's your life or your job," the doctor told him, warning that the stress and long hours were wreaking havoc on his body.
Only a few on staff fought back. One of Jackson Lee's drivers became so frustrated with her abuse the person pulled the car over and demand she stop: "She's screaming and swearing. 'M.F.' everything. Finally I slammed on the brakes and told her to get the hell out of my car. I'm like 'I can't drive with you like this. Either get out, or you can calm down.' And she's like 'you need to go or get fired.' I'm like, 'that's fine. But I'm either leaving without you or you can calm down,'" the staffer said.

Jackson Lee then threatened to call the police and claim she was being held hostage in the car. But she finally did calm down when the staffer called her bluff, offering to flag down a Capitol Police officer to explain the situation.

"You can take the bitch out of the 'hood, but you can't take the 'hood out of the bitch..."

Wisconsin Senate Orders Arrest of 14 Dem Fleebaggers

They’re going to need a lot of anal lube, bubba and the boys are waiting anxiously for this crew of virginesque buttholes to arrive in the pokey!

Wisconsin14

From the Wisconsin State Journal:

Senate Republicans Thursday ordered the arrest of their 14 Democratic colleagues, who fled the state two weeks ago to avoid a vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget repair bill.

It’s unclear whether the resolution to force the senators back to the Capitol is constitutional. The state Constitution prohibits the arrest of legislators while in session unless they’re suspected of committing felonies, treason or breach of the peace.

Democrats say the Republicans have overreached, and have consulted an attorney for an opinion on whether the GOP actions are legal.

“The Republicans have gone around the bend,” said Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee. “They’ve just increased their bullying tactics and are producing an even greater divide in our state.”

James Troupis, a private attorney hired by Fitzgerald, contended Thursday that the move is legal. He cited a portion of the state Constitution that provides that each house “may compel the attendance of absent members.”

Republicans voted unanimously to give the Democrats until 4 p.m. Thursday to appear before the Senate. The 14 Democrats are believed to be in Illinois. If the senators do not return by the deadline, the Senate agreed to find them “in contempt and disorderly behavior.”

Declared Fitzgerald: “They have pushed us to the edge of a constitutional crisis.”

The Senate also voted to institute a “call of the house,” which is the mechanism used to compel senators to return to the chamber.

That means the Senate sergeant at arms can “with or without force” and with or without the help of law enforcement take missing members into custody and bring them to the Capitol.

I love how, when "Danger" approaches, these folks (liberal democrats) chose to, both literally and figuratively, "run for the corn". I guess the democratic process only works if your side wins - otherwise it's demogaugery, dictatorship or worse. Really pathetic reasoning and really pathetic examples.

Chicago Jesus Performs Miracle: Arab World Cries Out For Help From…..George W. Bush!

The Arab world is definitely showing that this current administration is a huge failure by actually Missing the real leadership from George W. Bush.

george bush miss me

From Yahoo News:

Muammar Gaddafi struck at rebel control of a key Libyan coastal road for a second day Thursday but received a warning he would be held to account at The Hague for suspected crimes by his security forces.

…The rebels, armed with rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns and tanks, called Wednesday for U.N.-backed air strikes on foreign mercenaries it said were fighting for Gaddafi.

Opposition activists called for a no-fly zone, echoing a demand by Libya’s deputy U.N. envoy, who now opposes Gaddafi.

“Bring Bush! Make a no fly zone, bomb the planes,” shouted soldier-turned-rebel Nasr Ali, referring to a no-fly zone imposed on Iraq in 1991 by then U.S. President George Bush.

Italy said it was preparing for a potential mass exodus of migrants escaping turmoil in North Africa after a rise in flows of illegal immigrants from Tunisia, the initial destination for tens of thousands who have fled violence in Libya.

This is definitely a big slap in the face to Chicago Jesus who has bowed in weakness before the Arab world and has bent over backwards in Appeasement to the Dictators and thugs of the Arab World!  ROFLMAO!!!

Gallup: Unemployment Rate Hits 10.3% in February, Underemployment Surges to 19.9%

Don’t worry, Chicago Jesus will just print more money and borrow more from the Chinese, right?

From Gallup:

Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, hit 10.3% in February — up from 9.8% at the end of January. The U.S. unemployment rate is now essentially the same as the 10.4% at the end of February 2010.

Underemployment, a measure that combines part-time workers wanting full-time work with those who are unemployed, surged in February to 19.9%. This resulted from the combination of a sharp 0.5-point increase since the end of January in the percentage unemployed and a 0.5-point increase in the percentage working part time but wanting full-time work. Underemployment is now higher than it was at this point a year ago (19.7%).

gallup 2

This is the “Hope & Change” you all voted for in 2008!!!  Now, almost three years later, we’re all simply HOPING we have some CHANGE left in our pockets when this disaster of a president Chicago Jesus is finally shown the door in 2012!!!

Obama Is Enabling Islamic Jihad Against The West

Total incompetence and a miserable lack of leadership is making America a target in the crosshairs of Islamic Terrorism and Chicago Jesus, the Liberal Messiah sent to save us all from Capitalism is doing not a fucking thing to save us…

From The Washington Times:

iran-loves-obamaAl Qaeda and Iran are cheering on the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, so why does the Obama administration think the Islamic extremists are losing?

On Tuesday at a Pentagon press briefing, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates claimed, “The protests elsewhere that are leading to reforms for a number of governments are an extraordinary setback for al Qaeda.” He reasons that the transitions of power contradict “al Qaeda’s claim that the only way to get rid of authoritarian governments is through extremist violence.” Supposedly, the Islamic regime in Iran is facing a setback because the professional conduct of the armies in Tunisia and Egypt “contrast vividly with the savage repression that the Iranians have taken against anyone who dares to demonstrate in their country.”

It’s strange the Defense Department would think a destabilized Middle East is not in the interest of two of the primary actors who have been attempting for years to create just this kind of instability. Al Qaeda’s Islamist message has focused on violence because the regimes they’ve been seeking to overthrow - most importantly the Saudi monarchy - have been too strong to undermine in any other way. That these regimes are suddenly facing varying degrees of public protest does not work against al Qaeda’s radical “hope and change” agenda, but rather brings it that much closer to being realized.

The Obama Regime and the Liberal Government Controlled Media hope that Mainstream Americans are more concerned with Charlie Sheen, American Idol, and Justin Bieber then be concerned with the fact that America as we know it is collapsing around us.

Like Jimmy Carter before him, Obama is dangerously naive in foreign affairs. Iran became more emboldened when he failed to say or do anything when their people were protesting their own govenrment and Obama stood by mute while the Mullahs and Ahamadinejad slaughtered those protesting.  The world views Chicago Jesus as weak and incompetent and our enemies are taking full advantage of his weakness.

Ann Coulter: Uncivil Unions

The truth be told about Public Sector Unions…

From Ann Coulter:

As Obama rakes in historic campaign contributions from Wall Street money, liberals claim Republicans are beholden to "the rich." However that may be, it is far more true, and far less remarked upon, that the Democratic Party is the party of public sector unions.


And now, the nation watches helplessly as public sector unions and their Democratic allies say to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: Nice state you got there, governor. Be a shame if something bad happened to it.


For Democrats, the purpose of government is to generously provide jobs for people who otherwise couldn't be hired -- because their skills, attitude or sense of entitlement are considered undesirable in the private sector. And no, I'm not just talking about Barack Obama.


Democrats use taxpayer money to fund a government jobs program, impoverishing the middle class and harming the people allegedly helped by the programs -- but creating a vast class of voters who owe their jobs to the Democrats.

 
This is a system designed to ratchet up costs. Look at the history of every entity where public employees have unionized, and you will find that not only are government workers paid more, but there are also a lot more of them doing a lot less useful work.

Capt. Clueless Will “Spare No Effort” to Determine Why “Allahu Akbar” Screaming Muslim Killed Two US Airman in Germany

The answer is simple stupid….It’s ISLAM!!!

""We will spare no effort" to figure out "how this outrageous attack took place......."

"HOW" Let me speel it out for ya...........

T-H-E-Y H-A-T-E U-S A-N-D T-H-E-Y W-A-N-T T-O K-I-L-L U-S.

From The Politico:

President Obama says the government will “spare no effort” to determine why two American airmen were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting in Frankfurt, Germany.

“I’m saddened, and I am outraged, by this attack that took the lives of two Americans and wounded two others. I think the American people are united in expressing our service to those who were lost,” Obama told reporters in a surprise appearance in the briefing room. “We are praying for a speedy recovery for those who were injured.”

Obama promised that “we will spare no effort” to figure out “how this outrageous attack took place.”

“We don’t have all the information yet,” he told reporters. “You will be fully briefed as we get more information.” He added that the attack is a “stark reminder” of the “extraordinary sacrifices” made by the members of the military.

Nothing more then empty words from a child who has no idea how to do the job. Chicago Jesus has gone around the world showing weakness at every stop and emboldening terrorists. His mentor in hate, Rev. Wright was right about the chickens coming home to roost…

I’m quite sure he’ll put the same amount of effort into protecting Voters from voter intimidation from the Members of the Black Panther Party, and the effort he’s put into fighting Islamic Terrorism.  (Sarcasm Intended)

What “More information” does this schmuck need???  It’s Islamic Terrorism pure and simple, but don’t expect those words to come from his mouth anytime soon…It’s against his religion!!!

Obama Plays Race Card: “Race a Key Component in Tea Party Protests”

The Liberal Messiah, Chicago Jesus cannot simply comprehend that all of America is not falling at his feet, and if we’re not, it just cannot be because of his lack of leadership or his failed polices and destructive agenda, it must be because we are all a bunch of “Racists”.  (Sarcasm Intended)

From US News:

On March 12, 2010, President Obama welcomed me into the Oval Office for an interview for this book. Dressed in an elegant dark blue business suit and tie with an American flag pin in his left lapel, he was serene and confident. Behind him was the portrait of George Washington that has hung in the Oval Office for many years. Flanking that portrait were two busts added by Obama, reflecting his own values and heroes — behind him on his right was a likeness of Martin Luther King Jr., and on his left was one of Abraham Lincoln.

Obama was in a reflective mood. He began the interview by saying he had been “fully briefed” on my topic and was ready for me to “dive in.” He proceeded to methodically defend his effort to build a race-neutral administration. “Americans, since the victories of the civil rights movement, I think, have broadly come to accept the notion that everybody has to be treated equally; everybody has to be treated fairly,” the president told me. “And I think that the whole debate about how do you make up for past history creates a complicated wrinkle in that principle of equality.” . . .

But Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent “Tea Party” movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn’t helping them nearly enough, he said.

A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to “take back” their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn’t dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a “subterranean agenda” in the anti-Obama movement — a racially biased one — that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it.

He was elected because of the color of his skin, it certainly wasn’t the content of his character, it was pure and simple “White Guilt” that got him elected POTUS, that is the only thing that explain how this incompetent bumbling idiot with No Experience other then being a “Community Organizer” made it this far in the political world.

Obama fails to realize that a large number of Tea Party members voted for him in 2008, and based on his incompetence, his policies, and his destructive agenda…The people who once slurped the koolaid at the Fountain of “O” have changed their minds based on what they have in reality seen from Chicago Jesus and his entire administration.  Now like all his defenders who cannot defend his policies or agenda, The Chosen One has now found himself having to rely on the same defense…RACE and even that is growing old and stale amongst the electorate that helped lead him into the Oval Office in 2008.

Religion of Peace Alert: Muslim Terrorist Kills Two US Airmen In German Airport

A follower of the Cartoon Like Prophet Muhammad shouted 'Allah Akbar' as he began firing on a bus filled with US Air Force Personnel.

From The Daily Mail:

  • Lone Kosovan gunman, 21, shot dead soldier and driver
  • Kosovan authorities identify suspect as Arif Uka
  • Uncle says he was a German-born devout Muslim who worked at the airport
  • Troops had just arrived in Germany from Britain
  • 'Too early to say if it is terrorist attack,' say police

Two American airmen were shot dead and another left fighting for his life today after a Kosovo Albanian gunman stormed their bus before opening fire at Germany’s busiest airport where he allegedly worked.

Officials said the gunman, identified as Arid Uka, 21, shouted out 'Islamic slogans' before opening fire. 

He gunned down his first victim as the soldier stood in front of the vehicle at Terminal 2 before turning his weapon on the driver as he sat behind the wheel.

ABC News reported that when the gunman opened fire, he shouted 'Allah Akbar' which is Arabic for 'God is Great'.

I must add my complete surprise that the Liberal Government Controlled Media even included the fact that the Islamonutjob who committed this act of Islamic Terrorism against US Military Personnel shouted “Allah Akbar” as he was shooting.  Quite typically, the Lamestream Media does their best to hide this information so as to give protection to the Followers of this Murderous Cult that even our own President is a follower of.

There is no gratitude in Islam for the infidel. When Clinton was President the US under UN Approval bombed the Christian Serbs into submission, all so the Muslims could take over European turf in Kosovo. This is the thanks we get for making the takeover of Europe by Islamofacists possible. (Sarcasm Intended)

Europe is just beginning to wake up to the disaster that Multiculturalism has created and how it is destroying their Judeo-Christian Culture all to appease Muslims who in reality are not seeking appeasement, but DOMINATION of the world and the destruction of Jews, Christians and virtually every religion that is not Islamic. 

Thanks to Political Correctness in America, we are far from our awakening as to what the true intent of Muslims in America have on us and G-d forbid anyone speak up against Islam for then they are branded as Racists much like anyone who disagrees with the current administration.

Religion of Pieces

ISLAM

When will our awakening begin???

Forbes: Obama Is Another Jimmy Carter

Didn’t see this one coming! (Sarcasm Intended)

 

From The Politico:

obama-carter-mistakesYou need to watch only a few minutes of cable news analysis to realize just how ludicrous our national energy policies have become. As escalating tensions and chaos unfold in Egypt, Libya and other Middle Eastern nations, one energy analyst suggested that if Libyan oil supplies were to fail, the United States would rely on Saudi Arabia for its oil needs. If that statement alone doesn’t put U.S. leaders on red alert, the looming national energy crisis may soon become reality.

The Obama administration is repeating the mistakes of President Jimmy Carter’s failed energy policies, which marred his term and stigmatized the 1970s. They are leading us straight into another national energy disaster.

Key members of the Obama administration believe this friction abroad underscores the need to move away from oil and gas entirely and shift to boutique forms of alternative energy. Their lack of political will to drill for oil and gas compromises our national security and jeopardizes economic recovery.

It skirts the colossal elephant in the room: Oil and natural gas produced here in the United States are likely to still account for at least 57 percent of domestic energy consumption by 2035. Not to mention that energy production here can relieve the U.S. from the dangerous grip of foreign petro dictators.

Unfortunately, this administration’s Department of the Interior, with the most anti-oil-and-gas record in U.S. history, is sabotaging any real chance of avoiding the pending energy crisis because of its continued hold on deepwater drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico.

Couple of questions:

1) If we had followed Sarah Palin's advice to "Drill, baby, drill" back in 2008, do you suppose some of those wells would be coming on line now to replace the oil lost to this disruption in the middle east?

2) If Obama had not illegally defied a federal judge's order to resume drilling in the Gulf, do you suppose there would be a little more oil around to alleviate this huge rise in gas prices?

3) Do you suppose that the radical left's prevention of any new refining facilities in the U.S. in the last thirty or forty years might have something to do with the rise in gas prices now?

4) Where is all this wind power that was supposed to be coming on line after years spending billions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies to develop it? And don't tell me there's a shortage of wind with all the hot air coming out of Washington these days.

5) Back when Bush was president, every two or three cent rise in gas prices was front page news. Now it goes up fifteen cents in one day and the press doesn't even notice.

6) Back when Bush was president and gas prices went up over $3 a gallon, there were all kinds of calls in Congress and the press for investigations to find who was responsible. But now, no one is calling for any investigations.

7) Now that we have Obama on record as shutting down drilling in the Gulf, the green ******s are on record calling for no additional drilling anywhere, and Al Gore is on record calling for $7 a gallon gas, who does the left blame for the rapid rise in gas prices choking off the little economic recovery we were expecting to see?

You know what we need now? A good left-wing conspiracy theory about how the oil companies are driving up the cost of gas. We can put that one right next to the leftist consipiracy theory, which is believed by 40% of Democrats, that George Bush helped plan the attack on the twin towers. And right next to the one about global warming as I sit here freezing my behind in the middle of a cold snap. You just gotta laugh at some of this stuff.
