Excuse me, Republicans, but . . .
. . . on 9/11 it was the public sector employees (ALL UNION MEMBERS) who kept the public safe, who went into the burning and collapsing buildings, not the Financiers and Industrialists and their lackeys. They loved them then, when they could be props for the coming Crusades, but they hate them now that they want to retain the fundamental human right to bond as brothers and sisters, speaking as one voice, to bargain with their "Betters" in the hope of getting more than the scraps from the tables of Oligarchs.

4. The republicans only care about what serves their objective in spreading and
maintaining the oligarchy. People are immaterial and are simply used to expedite their objective.

5. It's still important to call them on it
And to highlight every bit of hypocrisy they exhibit.

10. Definitely! I do wish it would stick on them, they are so sleazy and slippery what
should stick slides off of them. Hence, as you say, "... highlight every bit of hypocrisy they exhibit."

7. Next time you hear "A poor person never gave me a job"
The proper response is "And a rich person never ran into a burning building or responded to a domestic violence call."

9. Ask them why they can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Why are they waiting around for some rich person to bestow a job upon them, when a truly rugged individualist (as all of the Teabagger Republicans will tell you they are) would go out and make his own way in the world, waiting for no man to be his master.

8. Repub, thy name is hypocrisy
they love the public sector employees, as long as they keep quiet, don't make noise, and are available for good GOP photo ops.

15. Mega thanks to the public service unions
While the corporatist Republicon chickenhawks sat on their asses and did nothing -- even after they ignored over 60 warnings beforehand...
