Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire good job unions!

Wonder why we don't need No Stinkin Congress? Borat Oboma knows whats best for us.

Guess American young people here in GA won't be working at McDonalds much longer.

Really good job by Prez and Axelrodd!!

I remember as a kid my dad getting two weeks vacation every Summer. He was a Sherwin Williams machinist and a member of the machinist union.
That union did little to nothing for him and he resented paying dues to them.
My childhood pals down the road had a dad who worked for USS (U.S. Steel.)
He was a steelworkers union member.
He had 14 weeks a year vacation--every single year, and he was just a grunt at the plant. They spent their Summers at Yellowstone, Alaska...the list goes on.
Those plants are now all empty and we import Chinese steel.

Those union pigs sacrificed the future on the altar of the present. It was all about GREED. It still is for the most part.

Spot on.. But to some, it's always Bush's fault..

Regarding public unions, GOOD.. Yep.. And the unionistas are gagging en-masse on all them bitter pills.. All I can say is, "open wide and hold yer nose"..

Dinner's on me if we ever meet.

Will, while I respect "Rush" and know of "Ron" (he's not my guy in spite of your clairvoyance), I have a firm understanding of what the unions have done to this great country.
There was a time when they protected the U.S. worker and had a net positive impact, those days are long gone. eg. Europe.

The textile industry likely couldn't compete with Malaysia, China, Mexico, Pakistan and other $1-a-day wage sources...try again.

You are likely a union member getting your pout on...

It was a rhetorical question meant to gently guide you into an area where union labor costs clearly played no role in the eventual destruction of an entire industry (one of many BTW).... and hence throw some level of doubt into your theory.

As a matter of fact I am not a union member getting my 'pout on'. You can ask around if you wish to confirm this as I have no inkling whatsoever to share my resume with you. Suffice it to say I'm not in a union, I don't believe one exists for my profession.

You're just another right wingnut who would have to resort to Wikipedia to tell me the difference between a shop union and a hiring hall. I'm not really interested in an internet bout with someone who hasn't bothered to understand even the basics of how America was strip mined.

Will

The Congress had YEARS to fix the illegal immigration problem before it comes to this. I blame congress as much as I do Mr. O. Americans either knew or should have known Mr. O was going to do something like this just before the election and 53% still voted for him 3 years ago. Congress should of had this figured out a long before that. kwg

More clairvoyance, lol...wiki, Rush, Ron (Paul, I presume.)

btw..I've been on Wiki once or twice in my life. I saw immediately that it is a bogus source of imperfect (usually progressive-sourced) information.
Vote early and often, Penguin...it's your Democrat way...

No question - whatsoever...

This Congress is the weakest bunch of weak-teats I've ever known in my LIFE... I wonder if they'll ever find a small pair of cajones to DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY???

I won't hold my breath..

~snort~

Will

Bravo Walker and we can both agree on that point

I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I left at 18 because of sh&&tbags like you that ruined the state. Used to be a great place to live before the parasites like you took control.

Thank God for the TEA party to eradicate the parasitic pests there.

Shades of 1986

Bush had eight years and didn't do it. Obama has three years and did it. Tell us what he did, not what you wanted him to do.

1. How many millions did the unions donate to the Oabama campaign in 2008?

2. Why did Boeing move many of its operations to SC? Better BBQ than Seattle?

3. So The mercantilistic Chinese are repsonsible for destroying Detroit -one of the industrial centers of the world 50 years ago? Have you been to Detroit recently? Gary Indiana?

4. Why are all unions actively pursuing illegal aliens for their membership?

Comedy gold indeed, Will.

Reread your postings..."gently guiding" with narcistic, know-it-all, condecending "Rush, Wiki, Ron, Wingnut" rhetoric.
If that doesn't read like a page out of Zero's/Emmanuel's/Axelrod's playbook I don't know what does.

The Daily Kos is that way----->

And I couldn't care less about your "resume," lol...G*d, the arrogance.

OK...you're off my schidt list...

wellllllll, I can't take credit for ruining the state. I do believe Wisconsin did benefit from you leaving. BTW Rebeka, I happen to be a parasite who took back control by helping to ensure Scott Walker remains my Governor, . And every election cycle before that opportunity to remove the real parasite known as Diamond Jim Doyle (D)Madison.

And George Bush did propose a process to enable illegals to become tax paying citizens. THAT is a positive action Bush intended to do. Business would have none of that as it would have hurt their business model. Ya know, pay Juan under the table, not have to contribute to Juan's SS and unemployment insurance costs if Juan was on the payroll as a US citizen. Just saying.

Rebeka, you ignorant s.........

What can I say, you're the one who labeled union members as veritable democracy smashing wrecking balls in one sentence and then labeled me as one of them in the next. :p

It's not my fault if you don't know the first god damned thing about currency manipulation, dumping, and mercantilism... but then spout off about the decimation of American industry as a byproduct of union membership. And then refuse to acknowledge that nonunion industries have as much likelihood and union ones to fall prey to this unionized menace lol. Next thing you'll be telling us all how lowering the salaries of teachers and firefighters will make us all globally competitive and put an end to this decline in US.

We'll then get back to the neo-liberal (look it up it doesn't mean what you think it does) master plan of importing Asian made durable goods in exchange for PowerPoint presentations and critical path management schedules.

Will

say Will, you still carrying that communist party membership card?

Lowering the salary of a fireman or cop from NY, NJ or CA who receives over a $100,000 tax payer funded retirement salary a year with free lifetime healthcare at age 50 would not be a bad idea.

Ok will Keep it simple so even a Neo Lib or Neo Con can understand:

Unions give over $500 million to Obama in 2007 for his campaign

Unions say they are for the working/middle class

Obama says he will "fundamentally change America" if elected

Union leaders are docuemnted visting the house more than any other group

American families' assets fall 40% in the past 20 years

Real unemployment for Americans around 13-15%

Obama gives amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegals displacing working class American workers and university students from middle class families in the worst economy since the depression.

Unions actively pursue illegal aliens for their rolls.

Obama and Unions say they are for the middle/ working class Americans


Please explain this for me
