Employee Free Choice Act

I had to chuckle

I’ve missed KCPO’s Neo-con spout session ‘The Faxts’ over the past few weeks. I tuned in tonight, and I see somethings never change.

They had guest David Owen, President of the SD Chamber of Commerce on talking about the evils of the Employee Free Choice Act (imagine that). I won’t go on and on about how ironic it is a guy who represents employeers is against organized labor (gee, duh). But there was something that made me laugh that David said;

(Paraphrasing) “You know, when you pay union dues the union’s use that money to be politically involved, and they are very politically involved (he made the assumption that Unions lobby Congress-duh).

I laughed because David’s group charges his members dues to, to do the exact same thing, and guess who is the biggest lobbyist of Congress? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

So what are you saying David? That you are big hypocrite?

The second part of the show was about the upcoming Tea Party at Covell Lake, I laughed at so many dumbass statements during the segment, I don’t know where to start, so I will leave you with one, “We will be written down in history books for this event.”

Are they filming the next Jackass movie during the event?

Laugh of the Day – SouthDaCola being quoted as a reliable news source

Now I know how John Stewart feels. I also, am apparently a member of the South Dakota Democratic Party, even though I am a registered Indy. I guess the Dems will take anyone these days!

The executive director of the South Dakota Democratic Party, Rick Hauffe, stated in the article that the state’s Democratic Party didn’t sponsor the protest. However, according to the Web site SouthDaCola.com, on March 20, “Therefore the SDDP is holding a rally (tomorrow) at 2 p.m. outside of the Chamber of Commerce. We need people from all walks of life to attend …” Perhaps the Argus Leader didn’t see that statement when it was fact checking while writing the article.

Um, I don’t think the Argus comes to my site to find ‘facts’. Gawd I hope not. BTW, I posted the protest announcement because it was emailed to me, and the fact that I think John Thune is pathetic back-stabbing liar.

Their protests ring hollow in the face of all the hardworking folks doing the right things, sacrificing their fortunes to start a business and, hopefully, run it profitably. Are the Democrats cutting off the hand that feeds them?

Last I checked most Democrats are hardworking, middle-class Americans not greedy rich Republican business owners. If the Democrats get the Employee Free Choice Act to pass, they will be doing the work of their constituents for once, not as you are suggesting.
