Why does he have to be a Fox or Rush listener to state the truth. This man has no experience. No one knows who he is, or what he is going to do to us. Hide your guns folks...

I don't have an opinion either way - I don't know him or of him. I was just wondering what he had done or said that made you call the man an idiot. I figured that you must have had some interaction to form such an opinion. If he was the head of a union while you were a union member I suppose would give you an opportunity to form an opinion; but we often don't know all the details or the behind the scenes picture either.

A guy who wants to call everyone idiots should really learn how to form sentences, punctuate, and spell words at something higher than a 2nd-grade level.


By the way, your disdain for labor unions is noted.

Woerth testified at a congressional hearing this week about a need for arming pilots under a voluntary federal program administered by the FBI.

Fact bites?


Try facts straight.


I seriously doubt you found the original article that you quoted, since the url was broken. I fixed it for you: JS Online: Pilots' Union Turns to Stun Guns
By the way, the article was published September 29, 2001.


That's right, 2001 -- not this week.



Funny things, those facts. They're stubborn.

He didn't call "everyone" idiots, he called two people idiots. One that wants to challenge another poster for his/her grammar should be more inclined to also evoke punctuation above a 2nd grade level.

Some of you need to admit that no matter who Obama picks to do anything, for you, it will be wrong.

Come on, he might put the ex-president of a labor union on charge of the FAA, and you think it's a bad move? But apparently you thought it was ok when Bush named Elaine Chao as Secretary of Labor. Yes, Elaine Chao, who's husband hates labor and who used to be on the Board of Directors for NWA.

No matter how I feel about Duane his appointment would be a sign of a much needed change from the hard slaps in the face labor has been getting over the past 7 years. Yes, airline pilots, you too are labor.

Who do you want Obama to pick? Lorenzo? Ichan? What pick would really make you happy? Maybe it's time to be honest with yourselves.

When you make your concern for Second Amendment gun rights the issue for every topic you show that you are not serious. Obama does not want to take away your gun. He's got bigger fish to fry. I'm fairly sure he is interested in getting this country back on track.
