Communists are having a heyday nowadays with all these “worker rallies.” It’s like the commies are back in fashion and they know it.
I can tell you this, I have a couple of relatives who have liberal tendencies but they are disgusted by the petulant selfishness and the communist veneer of these rallies, and I believe they are now drifting more toward the right because they are Americans first, and are clearly unnerved by what they are seeing.

What a small crowd. Why do you need a blow horn to talk to 40 people ?
Stuart commented:
The dictatorship of the proletariate spoke, and millions… um thousands… um hundreds… um …. about twenty seven people cheered. LOL.
Ginger commented:
Auntie Madder… good news. Been waiting to hear if they voted. You know the kenyan fraud is going to do as he pleases! The republicans needs to hold him in comtempt for going past congress and the judges! When is the republicans going to grow some ….or are they waiting for us to do their jobs again!. I can see the sign now about Health Care, judges ruleings about drilling for oil, and now the out right announcement that they are not going to defend the same sex marriage thing.
Impeach! Hell the SSI number should be enough to hold his feet out side of the white house and looking into a jail cell. Notice how the media has not brought up the SSI number he is using that belongs to another.
Stephen Morgan commented:
As a warning to the Kenyan in the Whitehouse. He better tell his Commie buddies to tone down a bit or his chances of reelection (Like he has any in the first place) are going to be reduced to zero.. Then again I believe it us our duty as American Citizens to purge society of these Commie Bastards once and for all.
Indigo Red commented:
Wasn’t verry long ago when unions drove industry from the US and what industry wasn’t forced overseas was forced into closing. What was once the AFL-CIO is now the AFL-CIA with the unionization of government workers.
JDStone commented:
I don’t think public opinion is changing people’s minds with all these vile Communists and their so called “rallies”. Wonder how long it is before MoveOn brings in the black-clad anarchists that you see at the WTO gatherings.Truly despicable scum.
tommy mc donnell commented:
if the union workers don’t do something to rid their protests of these communists then they will fail completely. i fault their democratic party union leaders for letting these leftists plan and lead these protests. most union workers are proud, patroitic americans, they must stop the communists from completely destroying their image.
toongoon commented:
Watch this man as takes on a group of leftists and answers their questions even against their chanting. He is an inspiration:

AuntieMadder commented:
Ginger @ #11 – The bill’s still got to go to the Senate for a vote and then, if the Senate votes in favor, to Barky to be signed into law. Unfortunately, because this bill isn’t getting any media or public attention, what with everyone focused on WI and/or the Middle East, it’s likely that the Senate will vote it down. After all, it’s not as if the Senate Demonrats and RINOs will vote for it because it’s the right thing to do and with no one taking notice of it, they don’t have to worry about any negative consequences for “no” votes. And even if the Senate passes it, Barky will veto it because, again, he doesn’t give a damn about doing what’s right, no one will be aware and so there will be no negative consequences.
Granny commented:
#16 tommy – in case you haven’t noticed lately, the Democrats seem to have been literally taken over by the Communists and Socialists – so much so that at their last convention (the one where they nominated IWonWTF) they went so far as to hang giant banners topped with the Red Star of the International Commintern around the stadium where they were holding their convention.

That’s not democracy. That’s an angry mob of stormtroopers trying to dominate the streets like in mid-war Germany.
Practical Jane commented:
These people remind me of the VietNam protesters. How long before an Ayers wanna be emerges to set bombs?
Deekaman commented:
It is “what democracy looks like”. Unfortunately for them, we live under REPRESENTATIVE democracy, not the mob rule these people represent.
ant commented:
Deekaman, you said what I was going to. It may not seem like much but it’s a pet peeve of mine. All these slobs, from the two teachers that protested a ceremony for a graduate going off to Iraq (God bless him) to the thugs quoted in the last two posts, comnstantly use the term “democracy”. We are a representative republic, Ben Franklin described a democracy as “..two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for lunch.”
If we were truly a democracy, these Union smacks would be in serious trouble, they are woefully outnumbered. It is the fact that most of us still function as a civilized society, that has given them room to screech at all.
Buffalobob commented:
I hope someone will show these protesters pictures and video of themselves when they get back into their classrooms. Chanting mindless morons. and I mean that in a nice way.

These moveon Inter-National Socialists have the stiff arm salutes but lack the goose stepping, so far.. by comparison…

The US is a Constitutional Republic. It is not a Democracy, a Representative Democracy, or even a Democratic Republic. As Dr. Harold Pease pointed out in his article The Founding Fathers Rejected Democracy (see below), the word “Democracy” is not in the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights.
The Founding Fathers Rejected Democracy
by Dr. Harold Pease
The Founding Fathers universally rejected democracy and hoped that posterity would never turn the United States into one. The word they used was “Republic,” which is not synonymous with “Democracy.” The word “Democracy” is not in the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights. Even the Pledge of Allegiance is “to the Republic for which it stands.”
(snip)
So why did they reject Democracy? Because it is inherently flawed with the “share the wealth” philosophy, which only works as long as there is someone else’s money to share. Those receiving are quite pleased with getting something for nothing. But those forced to give are denied the right to spend the benefits of their own labor in their own self-interest, which creates jobs no matter how the money is spent. They also lose a portion of their incentive to produce.

Are We a Republic or a Democracy?
by Walter Williams
In recognition that it’s Congress that poses the greatest threat to our liberties, the framers used negative phrases against Congress throughout the Constitution such as: shall not abridge, infringe, deny, disparage, and shall not be violated, nor be denied. In a republican form of government, there is rule of law. All citizens, including government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government power is limited and decentralized through a system of checks and balances. Government intervenes in civil society to protect its citizens against force and fraud but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange.
Contrast the framers’ vision of a republic with that of a democracy. In a democracy, the majority rules either directly or through its elected representatives. As in a monarchy, the law is whatever the government determines it to be. Laws do not represent reason. They represent power. The restraint is upon the individual instead of government. Unlike that envisioned under a republican form of government, rights are seen as privileges and permissions that are granted by government and can be rescinded by government.
How about a few quotations demonstrating the disdain our founders held for democracy? James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 10: In a pure democracy, “there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual.” At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said, ” … that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”
What you see happening in Egypt, WI, and now Dallas is exactly what democracy looks like.
“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” – Thomas Jefferson
Dr James McHenry: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
Benjamin Franklin: “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
“We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real Liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship.” – Alexander Hamilton
It’s no mystery why socialists, communists, union thugs and the Muslim Brotherhood are pro-democracy.
“Democracy is the road to socialism.” – Karl Marx
We Social-Democrats always stand for democracy, not “in the name of capitalism, ” but in the name of clearing the path for our movement, which clearing is impossible without the development of capitalism. – Lenin, Letter to Inessa Armand (1916)
“Social-Democracy, however, wants, on the contrary, to develop the class struggle of the proletariat to the point where the latter will take the leading part in the popular Russian revolution, i.e., will lead this revolution to a the democratic-dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasantry. ” – Lenin, Two Tactics of Social Democracy (1905)
From Chapter 3 of The Unseen Hand by A. Ralph Epperson:
“It is generally conceded that even a monarchy or a dictatorship is an oligarchy, or a government run by a small, ruling minority.”
“Such is also the case with a democracy, for this form of government is traditionally controlled at the top by a small ruling oligarchy. The people in a democracy are conditioned to believe that they are indeed the decision-making power of government, but in truth there is almost always a small circle at the top making the decisions for the entirety.”
——————————————————————————–
“That’s the bitter truth, and it must be looked straight in the face. This barrier to the expansion and development of the American socialist movement will not be overcome, and even a regroupment of the woefully limited forces of those who at present consider themselves socialists will yield but little fruit, unless and until we find a way to break down this misunderstanding and prejudice against socialism, and convince at least the more advanced American workers that we socialists are the most aggressive and consistent advocates of democracy in all fields and that, in fact, we are completely devoted to the idea that socialism cannot be realised otherwise than by democracy.
The socialist movement in America will not advance again significantly until it regains the initiative and takes the offensive against capitalism and all its agents in the labour movement precisely on the issue of democracy. What is needed is not a propaganda device or trick, but a formulation of the issue as it really stands; and, indeed, as it has always stood with real socialists ever since the modern movement was first proclaimed 109 years ago. For this counteroffensive against bourgeois propaganda we do not need to look for new formulations. Our task, as socialists living and fighting in this day and hour, is simply to restate what socialism and democracy meant to the founders of our movement, and to all the authentic disciples who followed them; to bring their formulations up to date and apply them to present conditions in the United States.” James P. Cannon, SWP’s West Coast Vacation School, September 1, 1957

Thanks. Good stuff.
AuntieMadder commented:
You’re welcome, S. Wolf.
I know I must sound like a broken record (if you’re old enough to remember music on vinyl, that is), repeating “The US is a Constitutional Republic. The Founding Fathers rejected Democracy…blah blah blah…) over and over again here, at Atlas Shrugs, and every other blog where I read and post comments, but so be it. It’s a crying shame that the Dept of MisEducucation, the lamestream media, and even our own elected officials have, through generations of lying, convinced almost all Americans that the US is some type of democracy when it’s not. What we have – our Constitutional Republic – is far superior to democracy because it protects and promotes liberty while democracy squashes liberty, which is, no doubt, the reason for their lies. They want to be that small group of rulers at the top of a democracy. They are the reason that our Founding Fathers rejected democracy.

Thanks for the link. Yes, I do remember vinyl records, 45 and 78 rpm.. I don’t think you sound like one except that those records had better sound than today’s ‘improvements’. I have chores, thus delay in answering..
