Calling a fellow American citizen a “Public Enemy” is vile no matter who does it.
And then trying to sell that intense devaluing of a human being as something helpful is probably a place to experience a rotten motive covered up by treacly propaganda.
Of course.
In “Public Union: Public Enemy” on Mr. Prager’s advertisement machine “PragerU,”, a fine looking young man is employed to sell us on the charge that public unions are filled with bad people taking the populace for a ride.
Two things are pointedly ignored about “public unions.”
Unions are people my friend.
(Hard-working American citizen people.)
And,
A union is brought into a workplace by hard-working American citizens by the implementation of their First Amendment rights. Unions do not have hostile takeover privileges, no, that is the realm of corporate tycoons. More than likely Republican corporate tycoons that have many lunches with Dennis Prager.
I know it is probably far too much to ask or expect a celebrity like Mr. Prager, who promotes his ethos as a product: Maybe he should try living out the demands he makes to others.
Like Sam Alito and his agenda-driven associates on high, don’t pretend this is a First Amendment right. And don’t promote a sham that the anti-union side has any ethical behavior of any value at all. Encouraging people to Shop Lift, well, a day will come in a court they cannot manipulate.
If Alito, Prager and their frenzied zealot pals say that anti-Union fanaticism is a Free Speech Right, most morally sound people know they are peddling an agenda-laden propaganda. Actually is it that slimy organizations that contact Union members (employees on the job) and try to talk them out of their First Amendment right to be in a Union. People like Prager know that “on the job” there really isn’t free speech rights unless there is an effective union in place.
C’mon now:
Why is it still legal to oppose Unions from forming if it is now a First Amendment right to voice ones opinion “on the job” about being in one?
Even the two-year old of a Harvard graduate can see that Right To Work proponents are not selling a choice. They are trying to talk people out of it. And there’s good reason for that.
Tyranny and the tyrants that want to implement it do not change what they want.
Governor Scott Walker is a sad place to see real history of how tyrannically driven union-busting is.
Throughout Saturday on the east side of the capitol, supporters of Gov. Scott Walker were surrounded by a much larger group of pro-labor demonstrators who since Tuesday have filled the capitol with chanting, drum-beats and anti-Walker slogans. Walker has proposed requiring government workers to contribute more to their health care and pension costs and largely eliminating their collective bargaining rights. He insisted there was no room for compromise.

And that is a Fox News article (albeit an attempted anti-union article) where tyranny was really implemented on the Wisconsin populace by power-mongering GOP politicians.
So much for the free speech rights of the majority huh?
It’s amazing that a state as beautiful as Wisconsin would elect such an ugly agenda as the one driven by Walker.
So why doesn’t the demanding two-way street of Speech rights Mr. Prager pretends he supports ever make an appearance in the PragerU advertisement: Public Union: Public Enemy?
What ever happened to free speech in our republic form of democracy? Alito may pretend that he and his band of ideologues gave it a leg up, but any mature adult can see the decay of their power play.
And Prager prides himself on being a good person.
It doesn’t have to be Denmark to know something is rotten here.
And like the irony of that line in Bill’s play of yore, there is a stench to anti-union forces. But one hidden by hubris, long-robes or common sales tactics.
Remember, and never forget, people like Prager are selling a product at all times. Well, one that makes them rich.
Caveat emptor
