Comments on: Fundamentally Anti-Democratic http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/01/fundamentally-anti-democratic/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: crosspatch http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/01/fundamentally-anti-democratic/comment-page-1/#comment-55859 crosspatch Thu, 01 Mar 2007 17:32:01 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/01/fundamentally-anti-democratic/#comment-55859 It was pretty funny recently when a union tried to force a local independent grocery to unionize. The union picketed the place but then the employees themselves started handing out leaflets to customers saying that they didn't want the union. The employees encouraged the local shoppers to come out to the store on the day the union was to hold some kind of rally in the parking lot. I don't think they are trying to organize that store anymore. It was a Farmer Joe's market in Oakland. I think they even got Ed Asner in on the act to try to intimidate the place into unionizing. The unions were good in getting some important changes made, but the vast majority of those changes are now codified in labor law. The unions these days are nothing more than extortion rackets and ways to promote cronyism and nepotism.

Democrats are so morally bankrupt they wouldn't recognize shame if it came up and slapped them in the face.
