Follow the money, the Unions health care is billions in the red along with the pensions plans. Unversial health care will fill those holes for the unions that's why.

say one's peace

or[speak one's piece] {v. phr.} To say openly what you think; say, especially in public, what you usually say or are expected to say. * /John told the boss that he thought he was wrong and the boss got angry. He said, "You've said your little piece, so go on home."/ * /Every politician got up and said his piece about how good the mayor was and then sat down./

If you notice, either word is correct. Sorry to disappoint you.

Sorry, your explanation doesn't explain. The links don't seem relevant, and besides they take me to mostly Russian language definitions. I don't read Russian.

The word "peace" is a legitimate word, but the phrase that you used has a different meaning. I guess I misunderstood the way you were using it in that context. "Speaking peace" is different than just expressing one's thoughts (though they may be both -- i.e. saying one's piece and speaking peace may be identical - a statement spoken to promote peace. )

I didn't see the guy in the video speaking any peace. He was a disrupter simply speaking his piece.

At any rate, my apologies for misunderstanding your intent. Peace.

Yes, but the guy in the OP doesnt represent a union. Maybe you made the connection from the word "thug" in the title....

Everything was peaceful and respectful until the obama goon came in and started getting rough.

The "white angry mob" - except that wasn't true, as the reporter tells us at the end.
I can only see an Obama goon as a sissy. It is too bad that the people at the meeting were too gentlemanly or ladylike to kick his ass
