A fellow machinist and I had a long talk friday with the president of our local (Lodge 837 International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers) expressing our outrage that the AFL-CIO has put our money into this "ride". He agreed with us that this was not right. He even said that a guy from the International was pestering him and other Locals here in Missouri to each kick in $500.00 to this event to house these radicals. Our president said "no thanks" to this bozo. We thanked him and at the very least our Local President will remember this when someone from the International comes around looking for sponsors. So I guess thats the only good news I can give you.
Turns out we are smack in the middle of a damn white supremacist group!!!
Its pretty sad when the nazis are the only ones showing up in numbers to defend this country.
Good job anyway. We can only hope Tancredo bottles amnesty up in the House of Representitves.
I for one have to give credit where it is due. White supremist organizations have been rooted out and basically imasculated for their principled stand on this issue. They have been telling it like it is for years and have suffered their own destruction because of the way they went about it. The rest of society is starting to see the light, unfortunately it may be just a little late. I am not a proponent of skinheads or neo-nazi groups, but it is now possible to understand some of what they have been saying for years, in light of what uncontrolled immigration can, will, and has done to our society.
I am so blinded with anger at these unions! And kudos to your president, tell him thank you!
