Purple prose from the purple-shirted will get your attention

Columnist Michelle Malkin, writing in Investor’s Business Daily, brings us this week’s phrase that pays, motto of the moment, words to heed, prose that pops.

In reporting on the union goons beating up a guy passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, Malkin dredged up a quote from Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern.

Stern reportedly has boasted, "(W)e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn't work, we use the persuasion of power."

Past performance of stocks may not be indicative of future performance, but with people, it is pretty much all we have to go on.

As Malkin notes, the Democrats may call those disrupting town hall meetings on so-called heath care reform legislation “Brown Shirts,” but they have nothing on the purple-shirted thugs from SEIU.

It seems the debate has turned into to rumble.
