We Are Now At War
from Michelle MalkinIn May, I told you how the Service Employees International Union's $61 million investment in Barack Obama paid off with cabinet appointments, executive orders, key personnel slots, and legislative goodies. Now, the SEIU thugs are looking out for The Boss. In Tampa, Florida and St. Louis today, the Purple People turned out to give cover to members of Congress targeted by Tea Party activists and town hall protesters. For the first time, the town hall protests were marked by physical aggression. More on the St. Louis arrests of confrontational Obamacare activists here. (Just like Obama wanted: "In your face.") This is no coincidence. I'm excerpting a portion of my Culture of Corruption chapter on the SEIU. This is what you are up against. *** EXCERPTED FROM Chapter 7, "SEIU: Look for the union label," Culture of Corruption "The persuasion of power" Asked about his organizing philosophy, Andy Stern summed it up this way: "[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn't work we use the persuasion of power." Stern and his shock troops have bullied companies from private equity firms to Burger King to food management company Aramark, who have resisted SEIU's attempts to organize their workers. The Purple People have organized aggressive protests and a "War on Greed" campaign to pound the employers into submission. One of the besieged targets, security provider Wackenhut Services, battled SEIU's attempts to gain exclusive representation for its employees. The company already has ten other unions representing its workers. Initially unbowed by a massive, malicious negative publicity campaign against them, Wackenhut blew the whistle:... They are now fighting to stand between Americans and their Representatives in Washington. To keep America "with the new program". Fight back three times a hard people.
