Pictures Of Firefighters Marching With Unions At Wisconsin Capitol FEBRUARY 17, 2011 by dekerivers If there was any one moment Thursday that made everyone stop and turn, salute and cheer, it was when the firefighters came to stand alongside their fellow union members. It was a powerful, emotional, and truly American moment. I can only hope the pictures here convey the impact the firefighters made as they walked to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Thursday.

More brainless fools being led to slaughter by their union bosses. We all know unions aren't there for the employees, they are there for their bosses and their political masters. So what happens when the union bosses won't make any concessions???? More union people collecting unemployment and more people at risk to fires. Some people just never learn...... Unions are shrinking in size and the bosses don't like it, because they see their power diminishing and their wallets shrinking.
" America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." Quote from a book written in 1996. Since its now 2011 I wonder if now is the time to start shooting the bastards???
Unions have been making concessions for a long time now. In the face of their reduced power, unions were compelled to make substantial bargaining concessions beginning in the early 1980s. These included wage and benefit givebacks, the acceptance of two- and three tiered wage systems, and greater demands by employers for flexibility and cooperation. You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you. Ludwig von Mises in a letter to Ayn Rand
I can't wait until we come full circle and reenter the era where robber barons have total control once again.

Perhaps we're there now and haven't recognized it yet.

Sounds like you are describing the GOP base to me more than the labor/union vote.

Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
Cops and Firefighters unions had endorsed the Republican gov which proves Unions are not mindless organizations that follow blindly on a policy and the one that threw stones was that idiot CZ82 who said the Union members were "brainless fools being led to slaughter" and he was stupid enough to assume these cops and firefighters were on strike when he wrote "more people at risk to fires" rather than knowing that they were marching on their own time.

It is somewhat natural to assume others are like us - it isn't liberals that proudly call themselves Dittoheads.

Their most faithful disciples were the two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover. These two had great difficulty in thinking anything out for themselves, but having once accepted the pigs as their teachers, they absorbed everything that they were told, and passed it on to the other animals by simple arguments. - Animal Farm
