There was little from last week’s CPAC that should have surprised America. We get it, conservatives. You want the poor to “keep their knees together.”You want a 1950s-era Berlin-styled wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. You believe gays, atheists, immigrants, liberals, and whatever else isn’t white and straight is destroying the country.None of this comes as a surprise to anyone who has watched five minutes of Fox & Friends.What did come as a surprise, however, is the right wing let the metaphorical cat out of the bag when it comes to their strategy of transforming America’s democracy for the many into a tyrannical plutocracy for the very few, revealing just how disingenuous the Republican Party is whenever it offers any lip service to dealing with income inequality.On Saturday, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist moderated a panel titled, “After Wisconsin and beyond right-to-work laws, what’s possible now to free workers and students from unionism?”While acknowledging that union membership has fallen to a historic low, Norquist opened the discussion by claiming that unions are the greatest political force in America at the moment.“They’re not dead yet — they’re in decline,” Norquist said. “They raise maybe $7 billion a year in dues. Imagine how much they spend of that on politics. They are the largest political player in American politics and will be for some time. What can we do about it?”Right there is the cat, jumping out of the bag!
it's easy to stand before a crowd and lie through your teeth especially when that crowd is tuned into vitriolic, red meat frequency the old proverbial catching more bees with honey has been usurped by the right wing and now it's sun into it's opposite catching more flies with elephant dung.
When Wisconsin governor Scott Walker ran for office in 2010, his campaign message mirrored the RNC’s message: that the economic downturn had nothing to with Wall Street gone wild, and everything to do with union labor and local budget debts and deficits. In other words,on one side you have the right-wing billionaires like the Koch brothers; on the other side you have teachers, cops, administrative workers, and janitors. Walker’s goal was to reduce public-sector unions to the same subjugated state as their counterparts in the private sector. Since signing the bill into law, union membership has fallen nearly 40 percent in his state.
amazing how the sold right to work and no one on your side you are at the whim and wage of a employer who might be republican, to replace unions where you have a powerful voice and people looking out for your rights in the work place, that IMO was the primary reason for republican war on unions they were matching their power if not passing it.
republican governors talked all the good points out of existence and turned things like unions into devil dens when it really was about competition and destroying it, just like those gov. did as soon as they took office Pres. sign Lilly Ledbetter republicans signed your rights to unions away, what strikes you as most egregious?
in case you forgot who norquist is,
also the pledge master
