Well, then. I haven’t been this shocked since the official announcement that Clay Aiken was gay as pomegranate martini.

Well, the only consolation here is but a fraction of the crowd’s that had been predicted showed up. I read a story a few days ago that said there were nearly more disappointed vendors hoping to serve the crowd than marchers.
And it’s really good that they’re “coming out”, so to speak. Because I don’t think as many people are down with communism as these commies think there are…
Still, seeing photos like this, it makes me wonder when we’ll start having wholesale street battles like they did in the waning days of the Weimar republic.
I’m a bit older than most of the crowd here, but I vividly remember when union “hard-hats” would come out and stomp the shit out of commies marching in the 60s.
But now?
Shocking as hell. Almost as shocking as a President making the “gutsy call” to order a raid on someone who 95% of Americans would be thrilled to see dead.
Just throw in a DVD of Joe, Bob. Takes you right back…
I think you’d be hard pressed to find 15 million people who are so unthrilled that they opposed the action. I think the number is in the hundreds of thousands, at most, that actually regret that we did it.
I’ll have to make a point of seeing it Jeff. Even though I was a pre-tween, I remember the whole scene at the 1968 Democratic convention; “The World is Watching!”
It’s hard to believe that the commies finally managed to co-opt the entire Democratic party with 25 years after that, to the point where, in their hubris, they don’t even feel the need to hide it any more. The long march and all…
Reagan staved off a full take-over of the GOP by the Rockefeller types, although, you wouldn’t know it by the last 10 years. As much good as Bush did, and God knows he was far better than the alternatives, he was a Rockafellah when it came right down to it.
That’s why it’s up to us today, classical liberals, true conservatives, and Tea-Partiers, to make sure it goes back to being that way. Let the RINOs become the Democrats they actually are.
The “hard-hats” were AFL-CIO, and I wouldn’t count on “The Bulge” Trumka turning his goons loose on the SEIU, Commies or not.
To my everlasting shame, I am a member of that benighted “union”. But only because I would have to pay 90% of the dues for the privilege of NOT having a vote. If I’m going to be robbed anyway, I want a goddamn vote.
Not that my vote does any good. All the morons who are paying the “fair share” bucks (sans vote) get voted by the Board.
Idiots. I feel like President Scroob.
Aw. The girl in the first pic was soooo trying to be Mila Kunis.
Bless your heart.
Sweetie, you’ll always be Meg Griffin to us.
That help?
But only because I would have to pay 90% of the dues for the privilege of NOT having a vote. If I’m going to be robbed anyway, I want a goddamn vote.
Is there a Bass Pro near you mojo? Because they have excellent deals on shotguns right now (that can fire those new and improved rock salt shells).
They also have nice price breaks on rods, reels & tackle.
So…plug a couple of Union stooges’ in the ass with rock salt in the morning, catch a few bass in the afternoon…
Damn fine day.

My brother was 16 and I was 14 at the time. He and his friend Earl who was 6’3″ went “downtown” to beat up hippies. My brother was,(still is) 5’7″ and not afraid of anybody.
My dad wasn’t too happy to go bail them out of jail.
Good times.
I figured I’d estimate low. I have no faith in my fellow man, ever since I was in the presence of a bunch of Monterey libs who blamed 9/11 on the fact that we sell weapons to Israel; this while the bodies from the WTC were still warm.
They think we’ve passed the tipping point, so there’s no downside to being loud and proud. At the very least they gain some converts (whatever motivation, whether for hipness or grades), and they continue to move the Overton window. Where once JFK was the poster child of the Democrat party, today he would be a right wing extremest.
They may be right about the tipping point thing…

I showed the photos to a nominal Democrat, very effective. “Legalization or revolution” had her seeing red. The SEIU leader with the communist flag is absolutely legitimate fodder for an independent campaign.
If that’s ok with Hugh.
Reagan staved off a full take-over of the GOP by the Rockefeller types, although, you wouldn’t know it by the last 10 years. As much good as Bush did, and God knows he was far better than the alternatives, he was a Rockafellah when it came right down to it.
Is that so?
I’m not that old, but it seemed to me Goldwater and Reagan were trying to take the party from the Rockefeller types. Nixon?
At any rate, I would totally pretend to be a vegan communist in order to do that chick in the first pic.
Yeah entropy. Nixon and his follow-on Ford were the high-water-mark of the Rockefeller Rethugs! at the Presidential level.
Big Bush rode Reagan’s popularity into office, but was defeated by Clinton for a variety of reasons, but chiefly because he reneged and raised taxes instead of forcing the Democrats to honor the deal they made with Reagan and cut spending like they had promised when Ronnie agreed to raise taxes…
There’s been lots of them, to be sure, in congress, and as I said upthread, W Bush had elements of that mentality, though not purely; medicare part D and no child left behind? And he was blessed with crappy opponents who had atrocious policy platforms.
We don’t need no more Rockafellah skank!
Rock salt? I’m thinking Dragon’s Breath myself….
[…] “SEIU drops mask, goes full commie” […]
That was the only thing that had her seeing red? How about the Lenin posters and all the other, er, Red stuff?
You know, it’s funny cause as I looked at those pictures, I was seeing “red” ….
Revolution? Half those pussies don’t look like they could handle a revolution.
[…] that’s a shame. Because failure to identify what it is we’re fighting limits our ability to take the most effective and philosophically pointed stand against it. […]
Oh, I’m sure they’d love to tag along and pretend they’re Ché, so long as Daddy doesn’t cancel their credit cards…
