Glad to hear you are pro-union. I wish you would reconsider who your enemies are. The conservative philosophy of Gingrich, the Bushes, Justices Roberts/Scalia/Alito, et. al. will always favor the employer over the employee. These people do not even feel that you should have the right to organize and join a union. They do not feel you should have a plan to protect your wages and benefits if you are injured while working. They will structure bankrupcy laws to allow corporations to void union contracts while continuing to operate. They are unwilling to prevent corporations from moving the HQ overseas to avoid taxes or outsourcing jobs. They do not feel you should have the right to sue your employer for discrimination or unfair termination. They would gut "whistle blower" protection laws. They see nothing wrong with firing an employee after 29 and 1/2 years of dedicated work to avoid paying a pension.

Their far right views can be summed up thus: "You were exposed to asbestos for years....Tough! Save for your own retirement. Build up your savings in case you are hurt and can't work. If you don't like your job, quit!"

Good luck, my brother!

I’m sorry but I disagree with many aspects of your theory. My enemies are and always will be the ultra-left which frankly is not that far away from ultra-right.

I visualize all ideologies in a huge circle where most democrats are on the left and most republicans are on the right. However, when lefties keep going even further to the left they end up meeting up with the extremists on the opposite side of the equation.

After all, there’s a reason why the nazi’s had “socialism” in their name – they are all the same!

The Red Chinese call themselves the "People's Republic". Does that make them Republicans?

My point is that the nazis and the communists and/or socialists deep inside contain the same ideology - so called 'peoples power' through any and all means available... I despise both of the fringes of the political spectrum.

In my view the nazis are a very marginal part of our society and are mainly an embarrassment rather than a threat to our country. The communists and the socialists on the other hand are gaining power and that's why I said that although I'm pro-union I do not want my union dues to go to my enemy - Comrade pelosi is definitely one of my enemies... ...and yes, I didn't capitalize her name on purpose...

Just an observation...Anyone else laughing about how far this post has come? Went from Supp 121 to foreign relations

Hi!

In Africa, the ME, if a company wants to get you a work permit, they get you one, quickly and easily. I think it is MUCH tougher in the US.
