Maybe MoveOn.org Planted the Starbucks Bomb

Not really, but talk about crummy timing

This morning a bomb went off outside a Starbucks in New York City.

This afternoon, I received this email from Justin Ruben at MoveOn.org:

You’ve probably heard about the illegal, anti-union tactics of retail giants like Walmart. But did you know that Starbucks has been found guilty of those same tactics?

Howard Schultz, Starbucks’ billionaire owner, has made it a priority to keep unions out of Starbucks. But our friends at Brave New Films are fighting back. They’ve put together a video documenting the harassment and intimidation that Starbucks workers have faced.

Check out the surprising video below and sign the memo telling Schultz that Starbucks must let workers exercise their rights and unionize.

Talk about bad timing. Way to go, MoveOn — first you defend terrorists during the war, then you attack a company that just had one of its stores bombed.

…Howard Schultz ought to completely shut Starbucks down. After all, he’s a billionaire now so what does he have to lose?

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” – James Madison

Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” — John Locke, 1690

…..oh wait, Mr. Schultz is Jewish……….. the dude’s gotta be part of the small percentage of us who didn’t vote for “him”, hence the start of the destruction.

Wait a sec…. I thought bombs and bomb-making equipment were illegal in NY…… so I guess this didn’t happen in the first place.

Sorry for the snark, but I’m in need to release a tad bit of hostility and the range is closed until tomorrow morning.

Thank God nobody was hurt.

Stay on this story....

I would say the most important part of the story is that Star bucks is Jewish owned…………………………. they have been targeted throughout the world…….wake up already people.

And in this country if you want to find organized anti-semites

Everyone knows they only hate Neocons*.

* Neocon defined as somebody who dislikes terrorists and is believed to have Jews in his ancestry.

…like offering full benefits to employees who work at least 24 hours a week.

I don’t like Starbucks for other reasons (like local merchants getting their rents raised when a chain like Starbucks opens in an urban commerical center) but their employee practices aren’t one of them. Their barristas are as cheerful and friendly as Southwest Airlines flight attendants.

This is all about Howard Schultz being pro-Israel.

I know, I know, their business to dispose of as they see fit. Run that one by a BALTIMORE Colts fan.

And what of their right to NOT unionize?

Oh, sorry, obviously according to MoveOn anyone exercising their rights to stay non-union must’ve been coerced by “The Man”.
Funny how they view “choice”.

I'm poor, but I'm still going to Starbucks today.

Starbucks treats its employees very well. Everyone I know who ever worked there, loved it. If the left forces them to unionize, it’ll ruin the coffee — and that, my friends, is bad for America.

I won't go to Starbucks

They burn their coffee and do their best to promote stupid progressive ideology. “Fair Trade” coffee is anything but….
