Are the Republicans really this cold?

"Union Thugs"? Check out Baldwin-Felts and Pinkerton if you want to learn about thugs.

Yes, a serious study of the American Labor Movement history reveals that violence wasn't restricted to "union thugs" by any measure. Some of our nations Industrialists were brutally ruthless men, who had no qualms at all with cracking skulls when they smelled labor trouble. I would start looking up articles and posting them, but it would take many hours, and I am tired. There truly is a LOT of it, that you didn't learn in High School and will NEVER see on Glenn Beck. But, if you want an education on the subject, do your own friggin' research. I've already done mine.

I recently told someone; "You've had it too good for too long. This is why you believe these lies and take all of the benefits we have accrued for granted. Worried what the future hold for your grandkids? Crack a history book and read about what they will have to do once you have given everything back. THAT should scare the shit out of you."

Oh, and; Fuck a bunch of Republicans. We can go back and forth like that all day long.

As if it's only Democrats that are unemployed or collect unemployment, Chas......

Oh, that's right, a Republican will strap on his wizards cape and pull money out of thin air. But, they would never dream of taking money from the government. Wanna look at some pictures of Republicans recieving their "Stimulus" money?

I like Bernie, he's got the guts to run as a socialist.

It's time for me to go, I'm developing a bad attitude.

Once you get away from all the touristy parts of Vermont it's a VERY conservative state but they've been electing Bernie for a long time. I think it's primarily due to the fact that, even if you don't always agree with him, you know he's not bullshitting you. (And Vermont has only one Congressman so it's not a case of representing a "Liberal" district.)

If union members are thugs, what are corporate board members?

It's not clear what you mean by "employment benefits."

If you mean having security in your job, without the fear that some short-sighted fat cat is going to ruin the company's future by looking for short-term benefits at the cost of a company's future. I'll agree we need that.

If you mean that jobs shouldn't be cut simply to produce a short-term bump in stock prices when the fat cats' stock options become due, I'd vote for those employment benefits.

If you mean eliminating the ability of companies to treat employees as subcontractors in order to avoid paying for health insurance, retirement, unemployment insurance, social security contributions and overtime, that would be one damn fine employment benefit.

If you meant protecting the job security of employees from the whim of some incompetent ass-kissing lower-tier manager who would take advantage of the "at-will employment" abomination, that would be another good one.

If you mean paying a fair wage that reduces the gap between the income earned in productive jobs and that earned in the executive suite, that would be an excellent employment benefit.

Oh yeah, these are the sort of things that happen when employees work under collective bargaining agreements. Those doggone union thugs. What good are they anyway?

Ya know, if you people keep quoting that barking idiot what is the point of having him on my ignore list. If I wanted to see mindless drivel I would take him off it.
