Just what Nebraska needs: Cesar Chavez Day

Cesar Chavez and the UFW: Its all SO Nebraska

What happened? All of a sudden, out of the blue, there it is in the news. From now on, March 31st will be Cesar Chavez Day in Nebraska.

The only thing that even vaguely ties Nebraska to the founder of the United Farm Worker's Union is the big red signs these commie gangsters wave. How on earth did Nebraskans sit back and allow our one-horse one-house Unicameral to spray paint this fake leftist holiday on our statutes? Now we become one of less than a half dozen other wacko states that have fallen for this idiotic holiday movement. Even Iowans will laugh at us.

The United Farm Workers has become nothing more than another leftist racket. Idolizing them with postage stamps, fiestas and phony-baloney holidays springs from the same misguided liberal stylishness that brought us the Che Guevara t-shirt. You can even buy art prints of UFW stike posters, perfect gifts for the sandalistas on your Christmas Winter Holiday list.

What's next, Ho Chi Minh Day?

Back in the 1970's, the old feeder was shopping for groceries at a store in an Iowa college town. I was tasting grapes in the produce department when a whispery woman's voice came from behind me saying, "There's blood on those grapes." How was I to know that it was a damned union slogan? I thought she knew something about the grapes that I didn't. I started spitting and left the store with no appetite and no grapes.

Picking Scabs in Vancouver

Canadian city's field slaves pitted against its house slaves. Nobody wants to say scab and what the heck is solidarity anyhow?

Unpatriotic Unions

Look for the Union Label. Then buy something else.

It is officially OK to doubt their patriotism out loud.

Happy Labor Day

The Labor Unions' Big Day

Check out Michelle Malkin's tribute to organized labor. If the unions weren't so weak these days, I'd worry about them. I've had no taste for unions since I met my first IWW Wobbly in Washington DC's Dupont Circle back in the mid '60's.

Omaha, Nebraska: Union Town

Not much chance of fiscal responsibility in Omaha, Nebraska as long as the public service unions have Mayor Mike Fahey in their pocket. Omaha's official city services policy will remain: pay more, get less.

Why Nebraskans put up with this organized robbery is beyond me. But I've always thought that trade unions, especially in the public sector, were a bad idea. While they stink of Marxism, they act like Mafia mobsters.

I try to stay out of Red State Nebraska's yuppified Blue Island, especially when I'm looking to spend some cash. I wouldn't want to contribute to their insanity.
