Poor Citizen: Are you a teacher? Before you go to your school tomorrow, you should pick up a book on English grammar and study it. And you should stop calling people names. We expect better of our teachers. Or we should.

Grover Cleveland was one of Harry Truman’s favorite Presidents. And don’t forget that Cleveland signed the act that made Labor Day a federal holiday.

Often when a union organizes a place the union is good for most of the members and bad for everyone else. Some unions go through a phase where they are good for the union leadership and bad for everyone else. But eventually the union overreaches and then becomes bad for everyone.

In the past unions were more beneficial. I think the many labor laws which give unions a priviledged status have worked to their detriment. How many organizations are there who can walk in, and by a simple vote force everyone into a contract? That’s obscene power, and obsence power corrupts obscenly.

Yours,
Tom

Snorri Godhi: Is that a joke? Truman?

The President who appointed Louis Johnson Sec of Defense – who literally destroyed the U.S. military after WWII. And tried to disband the Marine Corps.

Together, Truman and Johnson came within a hair’s breath of losing the Korean War outright. Luckily the USMC pulled their bacon out of the fire.

Truman is hugely overrated.

It seems that all the good Democrats are dead.

Does this mean that the only good Democrats are dead Democrats?

6. You’re right, working people don’t, but I wouldn’t call union thugs “working people.” I don’t many of them have ever worked an honest day in their lives.

….and Grover Cleveland was the recipient of one a Blaine supporter’s macaca moment: “We are Republicans – we are not the party of Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion!” – Dr. Samuel Burchard. That was the first national election – 1884 – where Catholics were in sufficient numbers to swing the vote.

Poor Citizen

Anyone born into poverty who can only chose amongst doing nothing and starving to death, stealing, or taking a job in the worst of working conditions, should choose wisely. Two out of three choices do not beef up the resume for a better job.

Poor Poor Citizen — you make no sense. For example, if you put people before profits, you’ll lose your business.

Here’s a thought — why don’t the unions start their own businesses. Let’s see them build and run a shirt factory or an investment firm. That way they wouldn’t have to suck the blood out of the rest of us.

Ok no. 8 David T.

I usually dont respond to Luny robots, however, I will make an exception in your case. You need the assistance. Trust me.

Anyway, short and simple for you. I am no Marxist (please look it up). I dont care what color of shirt workers wear but apparantly, you do. And if me, or anyone…was a Marxist, they would have been expelled for “just being tinged” Marxism has little room for Tingy types. Im a teacher and the above lesson was brought to for free.
