Happy Labor Day! (With Updates)

I hope you’re all enjoying your picnics and BBQs.

Labor Day doesn’t mean a whole lot to me other than it’s a good day for a picnic. Union thuggery has so sullied the reputation of organized labor in this country, I have absolutely no desire to celebrate a movement that I believe is contributing to the destruction of the country.

Here’s a video compilation of union thuggery created by Minnesota Majority earlier this year:

In honor of the day, Michelle Malkin has put up her list of the top 10 union thug moments of the year.

I’ve added some honorable mentions at Moonbattracker.

UPDATE:

Your Union thug moment for Labor Day 2011, via Allahpundit at Hot Air:

Video: James Hoffa on Tea Party; “Let’s Take These Son of a Bitches Out”, while President Obama nods in approval…(video corrected).

A clearly delusional and unPresidential Obama used Labor Day to attack Republicans:

President Obama to a riled-up union crowd in Detroit, Michigan: “You say you are the party of tax cuts? Well, then prove you will fight just as hard for tax cuts for middle class families as you do for oil companies and the most affluent Americans. Show us what you got! The time for Washington games is over. The time for action is now. No more manufactured crises, no more games. Now is not the time for the people you sent to Washington to worry about their jobs, now is the time for them to worry about your jobs.”

Uh….”manufactured crisis?” As in Cloward Piven?!

Politico 44: Biden fired up at Ohio rally:

By “fired up”, they mean “more unhinged, uncivil, anti-tea-party rhetoric”:

This is a fight for the existence of organized labor. You are the only ones who can stop the barbarians at the gate! That’s why they want you so bad.”

Like these tea party barbarians,  hounding a Democratic State Senator in front of the State House in Wisconsin?

Can you say P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N?

UPDATE II:

Political Punch: White House Declines To Comment On Union Leader’s Anti-Tea Party Rhetoric At Labor Day Rally

He should not be surprised when his future calls for civility fall on deaf ears.

Like I keep saying, YOU FIRST.

UPDATE III:

Instapundit has a great round-up of blog reactions to Hoffa and Zero’s Labor Day speeches.

  1. The only union I worked with was the Brewery Union back in Milwaukee for Schlitz in the sixties. The sweetheart contract had the members [not “workers”] actually doing some sort of labor for five hours a day, with all the beer you could drink during lunch hour and the two half-hour breaks, not to mention “wash-ups” and other 15-minute bench-warming episodes. Plus, you could buy a case of beer a day at a nominal price. Average life-expectancy: fifty-four years old, when the normal male had close to sixty-seven….

    Dionne leaves out how unions and various drug & ethnic mafias cooperate and how unions mainline other criminal elements into politics and serve as conduits for corruption.

    Not to mention their squadrons of thugs. And the dwarf E.J. talks about Tea Party violence? As does Mr. Napolitano at the head of Homeland Security?

  3. What Labor Day has traditionally meant to me: end of summer; BBQs; back-to-school; family.
    If the unions are going to go all communist-workers-unite over it, I’ve decided in our family, we’ll just celebrate 2 Memorial Days a year — one in May & one in Sept. ;-D
    We celebrated by taking the family to the World War I museum today. Works for me! Happy fall Memorial Day, Deb!
