I am not the one proclaiming that my father was a union organizer....

Actually, what you are proclaiming is how little you know.

Poster, "donmeaker," said his 80 year old dad was a "shop steward" not a union organizer. "Shop stewards" are typically elected to and serve by fellow members in their posts once a union is already established and in place. A "union organizer" by contrast is a hustler trying to establish a union where one does not exist.

By your own measure, if donmeaker's father was a "commie" then Ronald Reagan himself was a "commie" since he was at one time not a mere "shop steward," but the elected HEAD of the Screen Actor's Guild.

"central_va:" speaking as a proud VCU graduate and former Virginian myself, clearly you are today's least informed thread idiot.

Unfortunately, it's people like you who routinely fail to recognize who the REAL "commies" are.

FReegards!

Having never been in a union or really know anyone in a union, with the exception of the pilots union, I know very little about them.

he was raised as "red diaper" baby, he had an intellectual
awakening after a colleague was murdered b/c they weren't
pure enough, not too many Marxists experience that...or admit it.
