I was at the pro-union rally in Columbus Ohio
« on: March 08, 2011, 01:53:34 PM »
I arrived at the Ohio Statehouse at 11:15. Our Governor, John Kasich, was givng his State Of State speech. Just about everyone at the statehouse (about 10,000) were against Senate Bill 5 which would of put a hurt on colletive bargining.
I saw a few Tea Parties (they were wearing shirts supporting Senate bILL 5)  being harrassed by a group of people calling them all kinds of foul names. I just couldn't help but shake my head at it. I got involved and told the group that I qwas also supportive of the bill. One ask me where do I work. I told rtghem I am a fulltime college student. A woman in the group trashing the tea partiers was nice enough to ask if the college I go was a state prison because "I look like an inmate."
I just walked away. I will say besides that and a couple nincompoops had signs comparing Kasich to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, they were pretty much preaceful and understood where I was coming from.
What is you alls thoughts?

My thoughts are that people like being paid well for inferiority and will become violent if this resource is abruptly or incrementally taken away from them.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
