Labor Day Message from radio wind-bagger Vicki McKenna: "Don't let anyone tell you, you don't OWN your own labor."

The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas, Justice Thomas' wife and ideological twin, features "leaders" (there's that authoritarian term again) from around the country, like...Vicki McKenna?

Vicki's message on Labor Day is, "own your own labor" (new slavery), is a powerful one for the corporately backed tea party supporters (Americans for Prosperity). Sadly, Vicki McKenna's message is an inadvertent warning that those same supporters, their kids and the whole middle class, are about to become 21st Century slaves. Bottom line: who the hell thinks like this?



The other message; McKenna weaves a hyperbolic tale around a failed Capitol protest. From over estimated crowds, to a large angry mob of liberals that threatened tea party speakers to the point of requiring police protection, McKenna's picture of the bused in tea party rally on April 16 at the Capitol is pure fiction. I superimposed a few comments. It's not like the guest speakers didn't attempt to insult and agitate the crowd:



According to the Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas:

The self-described “converted conservative” helped galvanize, educate and activate the grassroots in Wisconsin during the recent battle over Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s reform agenda … McKenna had up-close-and-personal encounters with organized labor … Besides reducing tax burdens and cutting spending, one of those changes was entirely new: “shared sacrifice” by government employees. Instead of respecting the ballot box, Wisconsin’s organized left rebelled, physically occupying the state Capitol building … Their tactics ultimately failed, however, and Wisconsin voters have now rejected their agenda three times in nine months.

On Labor Day, in particular, what happened in Wisconsin needs to be told and re-told because it could happen in any state. Vicki McKenna’s Labor Day message to America:

“Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you don’t own your labor. What we have learned here in Wisconsin over these past several months is that there is a substantial group of people that somehow want to convince our citizens that they own your labor.”
