Flap, your sounding as delusional as your hero WhopperAL. I never said "I wouldn't respond to you ever again". What I said was "Your talking point sound bites aren't even worth responding to anymore". That's a comment related to a specific post. How you misread it is entirely up to you. And to take it further (as you did), and call me a liar for posting to you is delusional and rude.

It looks to me like you're afraid of me responding to your posts. Sorry, if I'm so adept at deconstructing your posts.

As to your other points.....

Unions in American (who you claim are for the "working family), have been responsible for more violence, crime and racism than practically any segment of society. Up until very recently (the early 70's) blacks and other minorities weren't even allowed in many unions. And I doubt whether many minorities are receiving those fat cat salaries sucked from the hard working members of the union.

CEO salaries are normally related to the profits of the company. How many union bosses do you figure have that kind of alignment with their salaries? Probably none, they suck off the "working man or women", and in some cases garner well over 300 thousand dollar salaries, regardless of the success of the company or its members.

Further, it's criminal to use union dues to support one political party over another when 40% of the union members don't support that party. It's called extortion, and unions in America are famous for it. They're also famous for corruption and greed, stealing millions upon millions of dollars from the coffers of union pensions.

I have no idea what union you belong to (since you appear too embarrassed to say), but I have little doubt the background of your union is full of cases of theft, corruption and racism.

I see no reason why unions should force hard working people to invest their salaries in one political party (Democrats). They should at least obtain written permission from the member in order to use their money that way. There's quite a substantial number of union members who don't vote Democratic like mind numb robots. Some are independent, some Republican and probably some green party members. Why should the holier than thou union bosses decide who their political contributions go toward?

Don't you believe in individual freedom flap?

What you fail to see is that unions are more and more aligning themselves toward complete socialistic principles. Most union members work for government today. So we have this incestuous relationship between unions and the desire to grow government larger and larger. The last thing we need in America is a larger government. We need to cut the size and cost of government, and allow individual freedom to flourish.

Your union, aligned with Democrats like WhopperAL, is as phony as your "I'm a liar comment". All you care about is power over the individual, power over businesses, and power over our education system. These ideas are the antithesis of what America is all about.
