[Does Pawloski believe that using sexual slurs to describe political opponents is appropriate?]

Democrats considering boycott of waste hauler

Democrats considering boycott of waste hauler

KALAMAZOO — Earlier this week, the chairman of the Kalamazoo County Democratic Party called for a boycott of a Kalamazoo business for sponsoring a pro-life advertising campaign and supporting local Tea Party activities.

On Wednesday, he backed away slightly from the position, saying such a decision would be up to the board of the local Democratic Party.

“The board is considering a boycott and they’ll take a position later this month,” David Pawloski told the Kalamazoo Gazette on Wednesday. “I guess maybe I was premature in calling for a boycott now.”

A press release that Pawloski issued Tuesday said, in part, that the “Kalamazoo County Democratic Party is calling for a boycott” of Best Way Disposal. John Balkema and Michael Balkema are the officers listed for the privately held company in a corporate filing with the state of Michigan.

Jay Woodhams, Best Way marketing director, said the waste-hauling company has experienced “an outpouring of support” since word of the boycott surfaced earlier this week.

“People are calling, e-mailing, sending letters and some are even signing up for service,” Woodhams said. “Some people are saying thank you for sticking up for conservative values. We’ve even heard from some who say they don’t agree with our positions, but they say we have a free-speech right.”

The latest in Best Way Disposal’s public pronouncements came Jan. 22 in a full-page ad in the Gazette on the 37th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Roe v. Wade abortion case. The company called for another look at the issue, based on new scientific findings on when life begins. The ad also included a promotion for an event Saturday to mark the birthday of former President Ronald Reagan.

Pawloski said Best Way Disposal should “keep its nose out of politics.” He claimed that company employees are being “pressured” to adopt the company’s “totally fascist” positions, including its support of the Southwest Michigan Tea Party Patriots. Pawloski said he could offer no proof of the allegation, however.

Woodhams called Pawloski’s assertions “ridiculous.”

“The ownership has been very adamant about not involving employees,” Woodhams said. “Absolutely, there are employees of the company that don’t agree with these positions and I’m certain there’s been no retribution internally.”

Best Way has been in business here since 1991 and does residential, commercial and industrial disposal, recycling and provides landscaping materials and portable restrooms in Kalamazoo County and areas along the lakeshore, Woodhams said.

Let's take a closer look.

Pawloski said Best Way Disposal should “keep its nose out of politics.”

Would Pawloski demand that all the corporations that fund liberals keep their noses out of politics? Liberal groups from ACORN to feminists to racial pressure groups to environmentalists to open borders activists are funded by big corporations.

He claimed that company employees are being “pressured” to adopt the company’s “totally fascist” positions, including its support of the Southwest Michigan Tea Party Patriots.

This is slander. Fascism has always been an ideology of the left. Mussolini was a Marxist. The Nazis were socialists. The New Deal was modeled after fascist economic policies. While Pawlowski calls himself a progressive, the early 20th century progressives were pro-fascist. See the book Liberal Fascism for more information.

Pawlowski said he could offer no proof of the allegation, however.

Of course not.

While the disastrous policies of Jennifer Granholm and Barack Obama have destroyed millions of jobs, at least they could claim that they didn't mean to. But Dave Pawloski is actually advocating hurting a local business and putting local citizens out of work. Does Pawloski want all businesses owned by conservatives to fail? Does he want all Republicans to lose their jobs? Remember this the next time democrats pretend to care about jobs and middle-class voters.

Despicable.
