As I stated in my post. I am a retired 31 year union member. I also oppose the death penalty. Both of those things subject me to ridicule and worse from the purists here. Never mind that I hate abortion with a passion. I detest government socialist programs and the taxes that come with them and I have never voted for a liberal in my life.

When I first joined I would read all the articles that were about unions. One poster on every article wrote the same thing time after time - "I hate unions" That's the only comment he ever made. I still read the articles about unions but usually skip the comments. They are too predictable.

As for the death penalty, I understand and respect opinions that are different from mine. What I don't understand is when someone says "I hope he rots in hell" when discussing a murderer or child molester and I look on their "about" page and see them describe themselves as "Christian" I don't know what that is but it's not a Christian philosophy.

I won't respond to any challenges to this reply whether about unions or the death penalty. I call myself a Conservative. Others may call me what they will. I am sure I have been called worse.

I actually dont hate unions, they have a place certainly and wouldnt exist if not for employer abuse.
