In general, I think labor unions should be a part of the process. In reality, today's unions are more about destroying wholesome U.S. values or polices than supporting labor.
The Unions exclusively support politicians and organizations who push the Marxist / Socialist agenda.
Violence is never too far away if a union feels that it has been crossed. If the people or organizations they support are crossed, those who object to them are exposed to violence.
Tying the unions to people like Hillary or Schumer is the right thing to do. They are fellow travelers.
Sorry Hildy, Rush did not deserve to be treatened or spoken to the way he did. He never advocated union members be displaced or harmed in any way, financially or physically.

He was furious. His comments weren't even rational or on point at least part of the time. He was out of control.
bttt
That is a more thorough? That is all opinion. When was the last time you tried to purchase medical benefits for your company?
I don't necassarily disagree with you that Unions have kept the wages too high in some areas. As I said, the reality lies somewhere in the middle.
As far as the education. In the real world there are a lot of very intelligent, hard working people that just aren't cut out for college. Or many some that aren't book smart but will work their asses off.
Your cavalier, all or nothing approach does not translate into the real world.
Well, your credibility just went down the drain.
Thank you, but I truly don't mind these kinds of posts. It says more about madprof98 than about me. And I'm flattered certain people remember what I write, even months later. :)
Much better.
>>>When was the last time you tried to purchase medical benefits for your company?
I recommend medical savings accounts
Believe me, Rush LOVES these kinds of calls ... and it shakes things up! He didn't DESERVE to be treated like that???? He's a controversial radio talk show host...he can handle it.
Sorry Hildy, but if someone on my side had phoned in that way, I'd be just as quick to dump on them. Rush did not deserve that call, which was extremely irrational. The called didn't address one thing that Rush had actually said. How then can you term the call justified? I don't see the grounds for that on any level.
Actually, I suspect I was right on target. Do you have some reason to think otherwise?
FreeRepublic actually draws a lot of the same kind of people who call Rush with "I'm a lifelong Republican . . . " lead-ins and then proceed to bash President Bush and/or the social conservatives for hijacking the GOP and restricting their so-called liberties. These Freepers are often belligerent, as Rush's caller was in the original post in this thread. I was not surprised at all that Hildy admired the guy.
See the picture in #9 above. Lots of us FReepers have had to deal with these guys at various freeps. One would have taken a swing at me in Orlando (at a Sore/Loserman freep before the 200 election) if a policeman hadn't ridden his horse between us and told him and his friends to get back on the other side of the street.
ahhh that was the "2000" election. :) Sorry for the typo.
The unions and it's minions were kept on the job during WWII by the mafia and its bigger minions. If it had not been for the mafia bigs, the longshoremen would have struck and used their leverage several times. Learned that and other facts in class from a very Liberal Cornell professor years ago. Of course there was substanuating books, information, etc. which he introduced. It can still be researched I'm sure.
