Unions have outlived their usefullness, trust me, I was once a Teamster (talk about worthless bunch of democrat funding pieces of crap)

I see.

Tax paying American unionized worker-bad.

Foreign Arab-Muslim control of U.S. ports-good.

If there is any good news it's likely many folks like you will see the inevitable results of selling out the American middle class to foreign countries.

Here's wishing that a bankrupted pension fund,no retirement medical benefits,and an outsourced position is in your near future.

You're just full of emotional arguments. Let me ask you a serious question, do the positions you take on things make you feel better about yourself?

How many millions of workers are out there that are not unionized? I'm willing to bet more workers are not unionized than are. Why is this? Ever wonder why unionized industries are dying while others are not? Ever wonder why the European economies are disasters....I'll give you the answer to that one.....unions. Unions are fighting for less work and more pay and benefits...outdated ideas. I will not worry about a pension or medicare or social security. I am preparing like a good Conservative for my own future instead of depending on others to do it. I am responsible for myself, no one else is. To depend on government for handouts is socialistic. It is what will destroy this country. Take a look at social security, it is dying and will be dead within two decades, soon if something is not done. You probably think there is a social security trust fund flush with cash being passed out....sorry to tell you, what is paid in now is going out the next day. When the number of retirees outgrows the number of payers, what will the seniors do then? I know what I'll be doing...living off of what I have invested and saved.

" Tax paying American unionized worker-bad.

You attempt at a racist argument is lame and rather shallow. Again, a knee jerk reaction to an emotional issue. Logic will hopefully prevail over emotionalism. Why are you not screeching about the Chinese running US ports? Why not about when the British were running the ports in question? Was not the infamous shoe bomber a British citizen?

"Here's wishing that a bankrupted pension fund,no retirement medical benefits,and an outsourced position is in your near future."

Again, an emotional response and a bad one at that. I've told you above that I am prepared for the future, no matter what happens. It's called personal responsibility. You might want to take some of that for yourself and take the time to think about this logically, not emotionally.
