#1 "Socialist worker" I think France has demonstrated quite ably that that is an oxymoron.

#2 LOL, BH!

These demonstrations invoke the Mark Twain quote:

"We all do no end of feeling, and mistake it for thinking."

#3 "Socialist worker" I think France has demonstrated quite ably that that is an oxymoron.

My personal favorite here is the "CNT", national confederation of work, an anarchist union composed mostly of high-schoolers, civil servants (who in France have a special status, as they're hired for life and can't be fired, even if a gvt survey found out that *effective* work week among them was 27 hours IIRC, while it is supposedly 35 hours for most french), and assorted parasites.

Hard workers, every last one of them.

They've been real fun a couple of weeks ago when they got all beat up by the "youths" during demonstrations, and had to beg for the police to protect them, while The Man(tm) is their favorite target.

#4 I can only wonder what most of these immigration demonstrators would think if they knew how their hero, Cesar Chavez, strongly opposed illegal immigration because it eroded the earning power of the legitimate farmworkers he sought to organize.

#5 Zenster, not to mention the numerous calls he made to the INS to get his foreign-born rivals deported....

#6 Going for that special reserved seat on the future Amerikan Politburo and Presidium, which every US Lefty knows and believes is there but no Soviet/Russian, Chinese or Cuban Commie has ever promised them. All the US Lefties have is the typical Commie promise to "compromise", of which NEPAL, BANGLADESH, and the PHILIPPINES are the latest examples of how Commies [don't] keep their word, not even wilfully ambiguous ones.

#7 Commies seem to appear to keep their word only becuz their mostly poor andor uneducated followers/lower rankes don't know what is really meant, or what is really happening, and they are not going to be told. It is no surprise then, than pols and activists are fighting for the illegals right to stay illegal, for law-breakers to wilfully keep on breaking the law. The DemoLefties demand the illegals be treated humanely and decently, ergo Dems are calling for them to be labeled as FELONS, de facto Felons whom weirdly and msyteriously are NOT to be deported, but instead are to be $$$ paid to stay reside, and work illegally until such time in the far Far FAR F-A-R FUUURRR future these are ready to apply for legal citizenship.
