I am so proud of the DU, we have come so far so fast
   
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 10:35 AM by Omaha Steve

I learned in January that Republicans wanted to take away my right to simply belong to a union. In February I learned how bad it might be. I posted this and it made the greatest page to sound one of the first alarms of the oncoming wave against union members in the USA: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

There was a time when I got here that labor news was hard to find. I got busy. Others followed right along. Then we got a group. I was shocked when we were upgraded to a forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

When the first weekend of protests started in Madison, unions were saying the DU is providing 24 hour coverage far better than the MSM. We got lots of new readers and members.

I've been so busy reading labor posts on the DU, I barely have time to give an R, let alone reply. I've not had time to really post much. I haven't had to because WE all now understand the full scope of what is happening. We are posting things that were ignored not so long ago. That's a good thing.

The next time somebody says the DU has changed, it has. It has changed for the better of our party and way of life in a very short time.

Thank you from an old union man with tears in his eyes, and a new even larger warmth for the DU in his heart!

In solidarity with the working middle class,

Omaha Steve

I am lost for words. I might cry cause this post is so full of shit.

Oh my.

My fellow Nebraskan is such a tool.

Or fool.

Or both.

Remember the time my fellow Nebraskan posted a photograph of him meeting what's-her-name-from-long-ago Cindy Sheehan or whatever?

His face was priceless, the look of utter reverential awe and wonder at her; star-struck, spellbound.

We got a few of those here in Nebraska.

It was a classic.

I wish it could be posted here, but it can't.

The whole scene looked as if something out of "Adoration of the Magi."

By the way, in case one doesn't know this, my fellow Nebraskan is 1/64th (or something) some long-ago oppressed minority, but he tries to give the primitives the impression he's a full-blooded.

DUmmy Omaha Steve weeps a lot, but he doesn't seem to do any work. I remember once the DUmbasses speculated about forming a union for unemployed moonbats - maybe that's his organization. In the photo of him with the ditch witch, notice that while he's sobbing and clutching her for all he's worth, she's trying to stand as far from him as possible and not touch the hairy slob. Stupid forum rule.

The above statement alone says a lot about the state of unions and the MSM.

edit to add:

As to this statement:
I've been so busy reading labor posts on the DU, I barely have time to give an R, let alone reply

How much trouble is it to hit the "recommend" button? How much time would it take? I wouldn't think that it would take much time or be much trouble. Maybe the reason Stevie needs a union so badly is because he wouldn't be able to keep a job otherwise. I know most of the jobs I've had over the years have been much more time consuming than hitting the "recommend" button at a trash DUmp.

Can Coach's fellow Nebraskan provide a link to back that up?  Or is it all hearsay?

You probably wouldn't want to get close to that link. It would probably come from the same place as their "facts" and be covered with fecal matter.

You do have a point.  But, he doesn't even pretend to have a link.

The meet up with the Witch in the Ditch was a fertile ground for many dummy candid photos.  Wee Willie Pittiful in the cowboy hat, Distressed American, IIRC?  Then there was The Ditch Witch on JJ da Race Pimp's back looking like she had just ripped a silent but deadly. :rotf:

Who was the other asshat goin' down to Crawford to sell his disgusting artwork?

Oh, has anyone heard what they did with the house down there? Last I heard, they couldn' afford the payments/rent after Cindy Surhan Sirhan fell out of grace and her 5 minutes expired on the parkin' meter.

I'm a touch more than half Creek indian.  The second best way to irritate me is to pretend your oppressed because the cave dweller that was your great great grandpa got his ass handed to him by your other great great grandpa that came from a tribe that figured out how to build ships and use gunpowder.  Get over it.  Descendants of native american tribes (at least the ones not on reservations) enjoy a life and oppurtunities that would not have existed if whitey, particularly the english whitey, hadn't showed up.

That thread has been up for nearly twelve hours and has as many responses.  I guess the DUmmies aren't quite as proud (or desperate).  Maybe they just don't like Omaha Steve.  That is understandable. :-)
