Wow – what a stark contrast to the Tea Party Express rally I attended on Saturday (as described in my last post)! Instead of upbeat, civil speakers and friendly patriotic attendees who love America, liberty and the Constitution – here we have Jimmy Hoffa Jr. in Detroit earlier today, as a warm-up act for President Obama. What a perfect example of the Left’s angry rhetoric:
“We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war…
…President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bit***s out and give America back to an America where we belong”
(Shhh… you can almost hear Satan applauding;
“That’s it boys! Whip em up into a feeding frenzy!”)
What a class act.
Hoffa, and Obama, represent the union/entitlement mentality that’s essentially responsible for the downfall of Detroit. And more of the same class warfare “community organizing” is hardly going to improve things.
To illustrate, here’s another stark contrast. A section of Detroit in 1949:
And the same area 50 years later:
Detroit’s already a war zone! And now Hoffa’s enlisting another army?
Leftist progressive policies killed Detroit; Democrats have been running the city (into the ground) since the mid-60’s. If Hoffa, Obama and their ilk were truly compassionate, actually cared about helping people, they’d stop feeding them the same old lies:
“Down with the Man!” – it’s his fault – never yours
“Workers of the World Unite!” – and destroy the free market (and the economy!)
You can’t possibly be expected to take care of yourselves – so “Big Daddy Government is here to help!”
Sadly, if the unfortunate residents of Detroit keep swallowing this same destructive, hate-filled, socialist propaganda, there’s absolutely no “hope” for the city.
Oh – and who are the real angry, violent racists again?
