Rove it telling it exactly how it is, but your deformed left ear refuses to hear the message.
Fear not, the good guys on the right will save ignorant left. Be very thankful there are smarter and cooler heads out there to save you from yourselves...!!

Take from that whatever you wish.
And I think that maybe your biases lead you to be intellectually dishonest. Guess we agree to disagree. However, I did not imply that you are stupid or an idiot.

YOU clearly did call me stupid and an idiot in a way to attempt to avoid an infraction for violating TOS. However, it is abundantly obvious that it was a PERSONAL attack. Clearly you found what I said very threatening to your biases.

Name call since that is all you have.
Exactly where is the "name calling" in describing an authoritarian attitude accurately?

Labor needs protection from management, period. That is still true today. Management is not some perfect idealized "angel" ...........management is still greedy and self-interested. What makes you think that that aspect of human nature doesn't exist anymore?

Basically democrtas just refuse to face that the stimulus to speail interest that insulated them from the recessio so far is gone. Bascially it shows a need to egt away from the public education example today and go towards voucher system and letting parnets control edcuation and not the teachers unions.

As does every poster on cd, it seems. Amazing how many owners of "very successful businesses" spend so much time posting on cd. So you think your "very successful business" will never go under or fail, regardless of what happens with our economy? You must have a lot of faith and confidence in your ability to predict the future. I have a very few friends who are self-employed and own businesses, and I've never heard one of them make such a statement to indicate that their businesses would NEVER fail.

I would suggest that you have very little factual knowledge about unions and their history.

They only care about getting re-elected and screwing Americans.
Too bad you or someone in your family didn't have to work in the textile mills in NC years ago so that the experiential knowledge could have been passed down through the generations. Guess many people will have to learn about the incredible abuse of power by management and business owners yet again. Self-interest is still a human trait. So labor needs some power to protect their self-interest from the self-interest of management and business owners. Why do you think the Koch brothers want to completely destroy unions? Because they are just such generous and good-hearted folks, or could it be so they can squeeze every last drop of benefit out of employees for the absolute LEAST amount of $$$ and benefits.........so little in fact that the "workers" have to do without many basic necessities in the future.....such as healthcare and food.

Are you really that inept at connecting the dots? Sad.
Yes, obviously they are!
