SEIU marches with Southern California Communists in May Day demonstration

Via Beltway Confidential  "This year’s annual May Day March in Downtown Los Angeles was considerably smaller than last year’s demonstration which, because it coincided with the passage of Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, SB 1070, brought out more than 60,000 people, and only a tiny fraction of the 500,000 people who attended in 2007 when congress was debating immigration reform. The organizers estimated the number of attendees this year to be 10,000 and the police put the number at about 3000. Based on other demonstrations I’ve attended, I’d put my guess at about 4000."



May Day: Victims of Communism Day  "May Day began as a holiday for socialists and labor union activists, not just communists. But over time, the date was taken over by the Soviet Union and other communist regimes and used as a propaganda tool to prop up their regimes. I suggest that we instead use it as a day to commemorate those regimes’ millions of victims. The authoritative Black Book of Communism estimates the total at 80 to 100 million dead, greater than that caused by all other twentieth century tyrannies combined. We appropriately have a Holocaust Memorial Day. It is equally appropriate to commemorate the victims of the twentieth century’s other great totalitarian tyranny. And May Day is the most fitting day to do so. I suggest that May Day be turned into Victims of Communism Day...."  The Volokh Conspiracy

When you ponder whether to vote for a Democrat or a Republican in any future election consider: the above crowd, you can be sure, are virtually all Democrat voters. Granted, many would vote Communist if it made political sense, but until it does, the Democrat Party will work for them just fine. If you support the causes glorified by the above demonstrators, then vote for anyone with a 'D' by their name.
