Buy American? Eff off.
An outrage.
1st Battalion, 24th Marines is a reserve Marine infantry battalion based in Detroit, Michigan. Their headquarters building is located next to Solidarity House, the national headquarters of the United Auto Workers labor union. HQ 1/24 suffers the inconvenience of having no parking lot. Solidarity House goes unoccupied every weekend. It has been a long, long standing agreement that Marines attending weekend drill are allowed by UAW to park in Solidarity House's parking lots and walk next door to HQ. Till Now.
Now is 2005. Now is the innagural year of the Honorable Mr. Bush's second term in office. Now is when the petty, sour grapes, just plain mean cheap shots fly.
It has also been a long standing rule with UAW facilities that foreign vehicles are not to be allowed on UAW property. I somewhat agree with this. Hell. It is the labor organization for the American Auto Worker. I'm surprised that anyone driving up in a Honda hasn't been tarred and feathered. However; UAW has gone from patriotic to leftist and petty. Wait, labor unions have always been leftist by nature. Not a problem with me, but the petty part strikes close to home.
You see, the head of UAW has passed a rule that no vehicles of foreign-make or bearing any pro-Bush decals will be allowed in Solidarity House's lots. Till now they made an exception for Marines driving foreign vehicles parking there on the weekend. Now, no exceptions and one addition to the rule: You support President Bush, you find somewhere else to park and walk, you right-wing chump.
This new policy comes down from the head of the UAW himself, Ron Gettelfinger .
It's cheap shots like this, that conservative Americans will have to endure, for voting their conscience and morals, for the next four years. This is fine by me. But fuck with my Marine Corps? My next beater will be a Volkswagen...
Oh, and if you are wondering about 1/24's reaction to Gettelfinger rescinding the new parking policy after a barrage of nasty correspondence, LtCol Rutledge responded, and I am using my language, not his diplomatic language of correspondence:
Fuck you. We secured parking elsewhere already. Live in your email and telephone call shitstorm.
No Greater Friend. No Fiercer Enemy.
