Liberals are in full swing, doing what they do best, fighting back against unjust policies with logic, facts and the calm reasoning of the keenest of minds...nah, I'm just kidding, they're playing the race card.
As Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker attempts to reign in some collective bargaining powers (collective bargaining is not a right any more than collusion is a right of business owners) of some public sector unions, which has been mischaracterized as destroying the rights of unions. Censured Representative Charles Rangel (D. NY) has gone so far as to say that Governor Walker is "abolishing" collective bargaining rights and that this action is akin to slavery. Thanks, Chuck, let's take a look at that logic. Public sector unions in Wisconsin require that public employees be members of the unions and then forced to hand over the profits of their labor to the union by having the state forcibly take those profits by deducting them from pay and handed over directly to the union. So I guess he's half right. The public sector unions are akin to slave owners and their practices, to the extent they vitiate the free will of the workers, should be abolished.
Meanwhile, at that same meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Barbara Lee (D. Cal.) slung some mud of her own. Congresswoman Lee apparently feels that budget cuts proposed by Republicans will represent a setback to Civil Rights and fall most heavily on blacks, latinos and the poor. The CBC Greek chorus made it's voice heard on this point in glorious harmony, including the ever hilarious Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D. TX) (the only person in the country who can go toe-to-toe with Charlie Sheen for the world championship of bat-shit crazy). So, again, let's take a brief look at this claim. According to the Congressional Black Congress, minorities and poor people simply cannot make due without government subsidies (i.e. handouts from their beneficent betters). Look how far we've come! Now the rich blacks in Congress are the racists!
The easiest way to tell if a person has no ground to stand on is when they have to pull class warfare to support their argument. Come to think of it, that's all liberals do. So we can shorten that to just say liberals don't have any grounds for what they think and say.
