When the term astro-turf didn’t stick, and tea bagger was thrown into the harbor of bad ideas, union bosses went into overdrive trying to think of new and creative ways to demean Americans who don’t agree with their socio-fascist ideals.
Earlier this week, the CWA’s Larry Cohen decided that the Tea Party Movement advocates slavery. Now, the AFL-CIO is charging that Americans who believe in the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment are like cult worshipers [emphasis added].
Most cults are based in some sort of skewed spiritual vision or the worship of a charismatic leader, but there is a re-emerging cult that bows down at the feet of the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Many of them want to bring their cultish beliefs to the halls of Congress and are running for election this fall.
They’re called the “tenthers” and they say federal laws and rules like the minimum wage, Medicare, Social Security, unemployment insurance, the Department of Education, even child labor laws and a laundry list of other federal laws and programs are unconstitutional.
Their rationale—irrationale would be a better word—is that if a federal power is not specifically spelled out in the Constitution, well the government doesn’t have it, according to their view of the 10th amendment.
It’s a view that has long been discredited, but reappears from time to time, such as during FDR’s New Deal era and after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education.
So there you have it.
It’s one thing for union bosses to attack corporations—that’s something they’ve done since they were spawned—it’s quite another, however, for union bosses to attack Americans who believe in freedom.
Apparently, according to today’s union-boss mentality, there’s no difference between Jim Jones and James Madison, or Thomas Jefferson and David Koresh. Evidently, freedom is only for cult worshipers.
This is how low today’s union bosses have sunk.
Pathetic.

They're gonna love it when a national RWT law is passed
E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Friday, October 22nd at 1:23PM EDT (link)That’s down the road a bit. Think of it now as an Emancipation Proclamation for millions of Americans trapped in endentured servitude.

I hope no national RTW is passed . . .
napensnake Monday, October 25th at 9:07AM EDT (link)It would be just as unconstitutional and as much in violation of the Tenth Amendment as all of the other national labor laws. Such questions belong to the STATES and need to be left there.
Limited national government does not include labor, education, agriculture, et al.
This appears to be a continuation

LaborUnionReport (Diary) Friday, October 22nd at 2:43PM EDT (link)…that was before my time here at RS, but valuable to know the unions weren’t clever enough to come up with it on their own.

ALL-OUT PROGRESSIVE ASSAULT
heir2freedom Friday, October 22nd at 4:20PM EDT (link)The Progressive tactic till recently has been slow and steady dismantling of American traditions, values, mores and Constitutional principles.
However, they — and especially the unions — have become aggressively overt and emboldened lately.
Not to be an alarmist, but this nation is on an accelerated path toward a clash that will transcend words and ideas.
Perhaps that is why Obama called for a “civilian militia” just as powerful and just as well-funded as our military.

Nothing Cult-like re. Obama, tho lol
reaganiterepublicanresistance Monday, October 25th at 9:17AM EDT (link)“This gesture of recruitment…the cult offering deceptive security to a vulnerable individual, is a familiar one. The potential recruit is not only physically vulnerable, but also, and primarily, psychologically vulnerable…. ‘The target ages are 18 to 25.”
“The new recruit is often facing a number of personal and external insecurities; … psychological distress is a fre quent antecedent to conversion to a sect.”
“Both per sonal and universal questions are answered by complete faith in the wisdom of the cult, enshrined in the personality of its absolute leader.”
“It appears that the adult respon sibilities of decision-making and thought are not only under attack from the cult, but are willingly surrendered by the recruit” “… new recruits come to doubt their own independent judgments and to accept the unanimous opinions of the people around them.”
“An important aspect … is the suspension of critical thought, and a distrust of the power or value of the rational, critical mind. Thinking, as opposed to feeling or ‘experiencing’, is wrong… ‘there is nothing quite so impenetrable as a human mind snapped shut with bliss’.

Again an example of the progressives trying to stop the free market form working. People should have a choice of whether or not to join a union.
if there were ever a cult, liberalism is it.

Tenth Amendment
p3orion Monday, October 25th at 10:14AM EDT (link)“If a federal power is not specifically spelled out in the Constitution, well the government doesn’t have it…”
I’d say that’s a pretty concise explanation. Larry Cohen understands the Tenth Amendment; he and his fellow liberals just don’t like it.
Unions and the Thenth Amendment
x0225r (Diary) Monday, October 25th at 10:18AM EDT (link)They say we are a cult, yet they force those that are in the union to pay for the privilidge of working. Those that do not pay do not work. That also comes under the heading of forced labor and salvery. The unions are wrong.
Accusations-old trick
bordway01 Monday, October 25th at 11:18AM EDT (link)When all else fails throw out empty accusations. Tactic is old-most should see right through this. The ones who don’t have their heads in the sand and won’t get it until it hits them right smack in the face.
Then the statement will be “We were blind sided” and they cop a victims role (always good resource to fall back on), then come up with another accusation how they were dooped and it is someone elses fault-seems like we have been down this road before.

I have seen this tactic used for more than 40 years now, but it isn’t gonna work, NOT THIS YEAR!!!!
