I was too stunned to comment that she was not aware that every union contract that I have ever heard of keeps foreign pilots from competition in our domestic system. For now, pilots don’t operate in a “Global market place.
“PW” do a
Google on
“Cabotage” and learn something. Your not knowing that makes me pretty much discount all the rest of the rant.
Keep laughing, I guess. This is where we
SERIOUSLY part company. Name me ONE thing positive that Klinton/Gore did for labor!? Name me one thing that Democrats do for Blacks that make them so blindly loyal at the ballot box? Same difference.
You are SO knee jerk that Democrats=labor, that you miss the fact that they DON’T -ANYMORE! They take your vote for granted, just like the blacks. Klinton shut down (

If “Democrats” were of the Harry Truman, John Kennedy (when I WAS one) ilk, I would not have much issue . .BUT. . we are not talking “Democrats” any longer. We have Godless, Humanist-Secularist anti-American Socialists, with their ACLU thugs tearing down the very fabric of our society; doing everything in their power to remake it into Amerika; THEIR vision of an ‘anything goes’ 3rd World place.
As far as I am concerned, we are right in the middle of a major Culture War, and the Democrats ARE the vile, evil and dangerous to our way of life enemy!
If “Democrats” intend to remain a viable party, capable of winning elections in the future, they need to shake off the radical Left Wing and let them form their own party.
Being an airline pilot is a schizophrenic thing. You ARE ‘Labor’ ..BUT you should also be smart enough to be swayed by issues which are FAR more critically important to our values, culture and way of life than “what have you done for me lately”. Government IS too big, too powerful and too overbearing on our personal lives. We don’t need to screw it up further by giving Socialists MORE sway over us.
Ok, for the record, despite, what I said earlier, I
would use a spell checker if I
had one to use. I'm on a public access computer, without a workable SP so you will have to endure my "true" ability (or lack there of) to spell.
I will only address the political end of this post (unable to cut the rest due to ignorance
) . I know this isn't the correct forum so I won't "stray" long.
If you think your "buds on the hill" the one in control, not the un-American ones (in YHO) that sit on the otherside of the isle, are equally un labor than I guess we have little to argue about. I disagree, but that is opinion. If you think the Republicans are not undermining our culture with the skewing of the tax code, way in favor of the richest Americans, than your not paying attention to the news. Of I forgot, the "news" is not as it is reported (by the liberal press), but what Dick, Don, and POTIS said it is. "Wire taps, I don't need no congressional oversite !", "There are WMD...... oh can't find them......well it doesn't matter, we're here to bring freedom to the peace loving people of the Middle East". "how much?? isn't 200 BILLION worth it (and counting) worth it to free Iraq from the arms of Saddam??"
This speech is over
We can now return to the original programming, thank you
