While all tax paying Californians — of the non-mob-non-union-type — are being faced with receiving IOUs from the state due to budget problems, union thugs have stormed the state capitol today threatening lawmakers.

In a staged event this morning, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California marched on Sacramento demanding (through their chants), “No more cuts! No more cuts! No more cuts!”

Funny. At the tea parties, I heard chants of, “No more taxes! No more taxes! No more taxes!”

What do you see is the difference?

Yes, I knew you’d see it.

As hard-working tax payers who go to work everyday providing for our families and wondering how we’ll pay our bills during these uncertain times, union thugs are threatening us — the taxpayers — to pay them or else.

Think about it. We elect our lawmakers, even though here in California we’ve done a horrible job in the last decade, so they represent us. These union thugs are threatening us, the lawmakers, not to cut their slovenly engorged contracts.

Oh, the SEIU is good at threats. Just read U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary.

Them vs. Us Mentality Part II

Yes, some lawmakers were voted into office with the help of the SEIU and now the mob wants its piece of the pie. Hey, they paid-off the lawmakers to get them into office and now they want what’s rightfully coming to them. Makes sense, right?

At least at Starbucks they say, “Thank you.” We pay those union thugs’ state salaries and their attitude is frequently expressed as ‘you should be grateful I’m here helping you’ with whatever state job I’m being paid to do.

Notice closely at around 1:06 into the video, you’ll see a sign that symbolically says, “No Private Contractors.”

No private contractors? Then how are we — the lawmakers — going to get the best deal for our tax dollars? Does anyone, other than these union thugs, think ‘they’ do the best job possible? When was the last time you received excellent service from a public employee?

A very special thanks to State Senator George Runner (R-17th Dist. Calif.) for providing this video.

Every election cycle, from the smallest local dog catcher battle to the U.S. presidency, brings with it an overwhelming supply of advertisements — television, radio, Internet — you get the picture.

No matter what the issue happens to be, Swift Boating, Borking, Roe v. Wade, and no matter which side happens to produce the ads, I just tune them out. Yes, even Republican political ads I tune out. I happen to have extensive intimate knowledge of how these ads — Republican as well as Democrat — are created, marketed and pushed upon the American public. Let’s just say there are two things in life you don’t want to know about — How Sausage Is Made & How Political Ads Are Made.

With all these disclaimers being made, I have to point your attention to this latest television ad produced by the California Republican Party called, “Budget Bully.”

“Instead of relying on common sense and economic reality, the union-led campaign for higher taxes is based on a foundation of bullying and threats to lawmakers,” said state Republican Chairman Ron Nehring. “Californians need to know about these threats and the campaign of intimidation being waged by union officials. In this case, they can see it with their own eyes.”

Well Chairman Nehring, respectfully, the reason why we voted you guys into office was to thwart these thugs. ‘Thwart’ is too soft. How about ‘take them out’?

Them vs. Us Mentality

What you should find particularly offensive is the arrogance of this woman in the ad. She reportedly represents the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California.

According to the SEIU they are, “the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors to improve their lives and the services they provide.” These sectors are healthcare, property and public services.

I don’t know about you, but Tony Soprano’s sister Janice comes to mind. My congratulations to Aida Turturro for bringing to life such a great character but this thug in the video is a close second.

Now that I think about it, where is Tony Soprano when we need him the most?
