Oh my sides! Newsweek has joined the NY Times and CBS in the journalism hall of shame, publishing a steaming, stinking pile of lies - and even costing many people their lives in the process - and the Times' response is to criticize Bush. It's truly bizarro world.
The leftists have no logic. If they did, they would realize that they run the media for one thing. Secondly, they know absolutely nothing about the Muslim extremists. If they did, they would realize what agenda they are following, and be as horrified as the rest of us.
Top Newsweek execs arrive for board meeting.
Once the war is over, there will be plenty of time for that. Save the "thoughtful reflection" for a time when the relatives and allies of the putative victims aren't still shooting at us.
Yes, they need to take a look at what is going on in Europe where openly gay politicians have been murdered by Moslem fanatics.
I live in a city full of petty little Marxists. I am part of the union ranks where I work and I can tell you that the mentality of socialists is age 15. That was about the only time in my life I would have identified with them. After that I grew up. These socialists engage with their employer from the point of view that they have to wage an ongoing war with management. Somehow they are downtrodden workers tilting with the evil dragons of management. In meetings they have no class, constantly interrupt and basically bitch about everything under the sun. They ask questions that are just plane stupid and often have nothing to do with their jobs. I may not always agree with management but I know how to show every person wih the respect every human deserves.
I know what you mean. We lost the largest employer we had in our little town because the union kept striking. The employer tried to be fair. The last time they entered into negotiations, the union threatened to strike if all of their demands were not met. The management told them that the owners would close down the business and sell out if that happened. The union did not believe them. They went on strike anyway. Guess what? The business closed its doors, was shut down, and went on the selling block. All those people lost their jobs.
It has finally, after several years, been purchased by a German company. They have only hired back a skeleton crew, the best of the best. It will be years before they will have enough business to hire as many people as had formerly worked there.
Kudos to that company. More should do the same. What I object to is closed shop unions. It is highly unconstitutional to force association. Freedom of Association works both ways.
Yep. Thank goodness Virginia is a right to work state. :)
What does that mean exactly?
It means you don't have to join a union to work.
That is awful. My daughter is a teacher. She has worked in both public and private schools. She has not had to belong to a union in either one. I don't even think that they have a teachers' union here.
