Yeah, Right, Whatever

For some reason, our nation celebrates the labor movement. I'm sure they originally sold the idea by saying that we were just going to celebrate the Everyday Joe Worker, but that's not the case. We're celebrating the labor (read socialist) movement. (Let me put it to you this way... almost every other country on the planet celebrates "Labor Day" on May 1st, and it's a big socialist shin-dig. Just because we do it on a different day, why should our "Labor Day" be any different?) "Fortunately" for the US, 99.9% of US citizens have no idea why we get off on federal holidays anyway, so why should today be any different?

Here is what Neal Boortz had to say about it today. He summed it up better than I could.

1. If the Democrats have control of the congress and he White House after the next election, the labor unions will soon be able to unionize a workplace without any election involving private ballots. Union organizers will be able to use traditional union intimidation tactics to compel workers to sign petitions, and as soon as a majority of the workers have signed on ... it's union time!

2. Labor unions, particularly the AFL-CIO, are on the vanguard of the amnesty movement. You will see lawsuits brought by labor unions whenever and wherever the government starts to get tough on businesses hiring illegal criminal aliens. The reason is simple. These labor unions see these millions of illegal Mexicans as their path to new glory and power, just ripe to be made new union members as soon as they are legitimized.

3. Last, but certainly not least, there is no one entity in this country that is doing more to destroy the future of our nation than the most powerful unions in Washington, the teacher's unions.
