The Blue-Green assault on workers

I've said it a hundred times. I'm not a conservative for me. Our family is well positioned to weather any liberal assault on our economy.

I'm a conservative for the working stiff.

Since Obama has decided to kill the Keystone pipeline, aLinksk yourself the question.

Who gets hurt more?

Is it the ExxonMobil, Shell or BP executives who will simply retrieve the oil we want from other sources or will it be the guys who could have worked on that pipeline.

Some labor leaders are finally getting the smelling salts............


The Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) left the BlueGreen Alliance on Friday, citing a disagreement with the group’s members over the Keystone XL pipeline.

LIUNA, a vocal Keystone supporter, took aim at other unions for opposing the project.

“We’re repulsed by some of our supposed brothers and sisters lining up with job killers like the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council to destroy the lives of working men and women,” LIUNA General President Terry O’Sullivan said in a statement.

The BlueGreen Alliance, a coalition of environmental groups and labor unions, confirmed LIUNA’s exit Friday afternoon.

“The BlueGreen Alliance regrets the decision of the Laborers' International Union of North America to leave our strategic partnership of labor and environmental organizations,” the group’s executive director, David Foster, said in a statement.

The move underscores the intense political divide among unions over the pipeline, which would carry oil sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the Gulf Coast.

So let me ask the Obamunists who so oppose this pipeline.

Is it more environmentally friendly for the Canadians to sell and ship their oil to China while we buy and ship oil from the middle east to here?

Here's a dirty little secret the left doesn't want you to know. There's only one union that matters and that's the teachers union. All you others can go to hell.
