| from Michelle Malkin In 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. |

| #7 I said, back before Obumble was sworn in, that as long as he obeyed the Constitution he was "my president also". Obumble is no longer MY "president". I will wage open war against this president with my words, as the Constitution gives me that right, and will support all others that do the same. Should the "Obumble president" attempt to wage war against me, personally, in any way, I shall return the "favor". I'm trained in the use of weapons, and in small-unit engagements. Obumble is a "community organizer". I'm trained in espionage, sabotage, and subversion, as the military teaches it. Obumble is also trained in espionage, sabotage, and subversion, but his version is in the guise of "community organizer" as an affiliate of ACORN. I've been trained in unconventional warfare and the ability to recognize any object as a potential weapon. Obumble is afraid of weapons, especiall sharp-edged ones. I don't keep a gun in my house. I've got a small child, and besides, they make loud noises. I do sleep with an axehandle by my bed, and know how to use it quite effectively. I HOPE Obumble isn't so stupid to encourage one of his cronies or union thugs to crawl through my window. If they do, I hope they have an up-to-date will. I am NOT alone, or even in a small minority. |

| #6 This has all gotten very interesting. The 0 administration and the Dems have grossly overplayed their hand with the American people here. In choosing to "punch back twice as hard," they have made a serious miscalculation. No reasonable American likes to see their government attempt to quash dissent and in such a cavalier manner (as has become the norm with the current administration and congress). Not once did Bush tell his detractors to quiet down or "stop talkking." He took all the venom and vitriol thrown at him with a smile and a nod (which made them hate him even more) because he understood that all citizens have a sacred right to express their opinion openly, whether they agreed with him or not. Can you imagine if the Bush administration had requested that supporters notify them when they came across something "fishy"? The outrage from all corners would be cacophonous and rightfully so. "Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make proud." |

| #3 Well, jeez, as bad as they are, I have a really tough time feeling sorry for Aramark or Burger King. These are evil corporations who stomp on their workers every chance they get, and I'm a heartless capitalist. |
