TAKE ACTION (barf alert!!!!!)

Major barf alert.

Just so you know who is behind all the IT job-loss posts. It's UNIONS!!!!

Marxism lives on...they never went away.

This is a serious problem for our economy.

Marxism?

You have just outed yourself as a supporter of Jay Inslee - a left-wing democrat with a 11% Lifetime Rating from the American Conservative Union

Please explain.

If he is anti-union, and pro-capitalist, then I will gladly donate to his campaign.

Now let's see you back your words up.

Could it be that he outed himself as an opponent of Left-Wing Labor Unions? Be fair.

Gave you the link - if you know how to use it. Interesting, but nor surprising, that you are a supporter of a left-wing democrat.

I don't care if he declares that he is a space alien.

If he is for individual freedom, and hates unions, he will get my vote.

And money. Which I can afford to give, because I am a union-free employer.

Then again, I am a capitalist.

There are a few so-called Conservatives who are blind on this issue. Say anything against their position, and they will instantly attack you. They are not interested in a dialog of any kind. You are either with them in support of Government protectionism (not a conservative idea) or you are lower than a snake's belly in their eyes. It serves no purpose to even try to communicate with them.

I guess you haven't checked the voting record of your hero - he's a solid member of the left-wing.

Thanks for your kind words. I agree with you for the most part, but I find it thrilling to challenge them on their Marxist protectionist views.

Survival of the fittest, including ideas.

Reagan knew this; challenge them on ideas, and they will always lose. They have nothing but tactics: intimidation, lies, and name calling. Reagan deplored their tactics, but welcomed their ideas. He knew their ideas would fail under scruitney.
Unions and marxists are built on a house of cards. Always, always, always challenge them.

That giant sucking sound is marxism imploding.

If he hates unions, then no matter what his label, I will gladly donate to him.

Thanks for the insight. I will tell my sister, the CPA, and my brother, the CPA, and my other sister, the Professor of accounting, and my father, the Bell Labs EE, that they might want to check this guy out.

Ee all have our own small busineses, and can give to who we want; dounds like he needs some money, to combat the marxist union folks.

Be well.

He gets a 95% from Americans for Democratic Action - same as Maxine Waters.

If he is against unions, that's good enough for me.

Then again, I am taking your word for it.

Marxist protectionist views

Huh?

Marx, as far as I know, was an internationalist, and his (undiluted) philosophy was definitely anti-nationalistic.

Ever hear of Socialist International? They and their ilk are strident opponents of immigration controls, which they see as "racist."

In fact, it is through increased immigration that Marxists hope to finally achieve their goal of making the U.S. a socialist nation.

Take a look at what he voted for (except for #6) - you know what they say about a fool and his money don't you?
MonroeDNA - supporter of socialist proposals.

Call it what you will; anyone who belives that people should get rewarded based on ANYTHING other than individual merit, is anti-American.

Marxism is proud of their saying: "From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need."

Anyone who subscribes to this is evil.

See tagline.
