Should I feel bad?

[dhpgetsit]

I'm usually pretty mild mannered and respectful. Not one to cuss a lot.
Today I went off on someone in a long discussion:

Con trying to defend Walker and Grothman:
"What is has been doing is political favors to big corporate sponsors"

How is this different than democrats giving sweetheart pension and HC deals to unionized state employees?

Like we've agree to on here before....all special interests need to be removed from politics.


Me:
Unions work for working people like you and me. Unions are on our side. Their leadership is democratically elected by their members. Workers contracts are negotiated honestly in an open process. And you fuckin bastards disrespect teachers and firefighters and cops with your RW talking points like "sweetheart pension and HC deals"! These people will put their asses on the line to protect your fuckin business and property and try to give your brats a fuckin decent education!

HAVE A LITTLE DAMN RESPECT, ASSHOLE!

I've just had it with trying to be nice, sometimes. Listening to these people bash workers is like watching a gang of punks kicking an old lady in the teeth. I swear, I have had it!

1. Sounds like the demonstrators could learn a thing or two from you.

Instead of getting praise for their good behavior.

2. Sometimes you just take all you can take

And sometimes you just have to tell 'em like it is.

They are bashing old ladies, and working people, and cops and firefighters and standing up for the rich sociopaths..

Good on you for telling it straight

4. Billions of billions of dollars go into highways and policing and Wall Street

to make for an environment so that rich people can own stock/business and get rich. Poor people don't have money in a bank account so why would they care what the interest rate is, but the government insists on making the interest rates such that business can succeed. All this so there is an environment good for business. Why not an environment that is grows a middle class too. That is what unions are.
