Surely, showing this to the ACLU would be productive, as they are always eager to defend Freedom From Religion.

Godless. Absolutely godless.

Every. Last. One.

Two things I had to remember growing up: vote Democrat, pay your union dues. They went hand in hand.

Watched the unions take my little hometown of 75,000 and reduce it to less than 30,000 inside three years because the major employer in town could not afford their demands and shut down their operations.

I hate unions.

“Everything in the state Union, nothing outside the state Union, nothing against the state Union.”

There you go, Benito, FIFY.

Mussolini would be so proud.

Now, with this knowledge, he then started in explaining that if a union wants to organise and force him to pay more in salaries and hourly, that the buisness will fail and he’d have to lay people off or close its doors. This company and its employees are a very close nit group, and the owner is very active in their personal lives with when someone ends up in the hospital or has a wreck or personal crisises, Bob is there for them, so they knew he was telling them the straight deal.

About a month later, a Union representative tried to start lobbying the employees (at the street corner leading to the buisness) to petition Bob for a meeting so they could explain the Union to the employees and ask them to go vote on bringing in the Union.

They threw rocks at the union rep and chased him down the street.

All it takes though is one employee to bring in the union rep though, and the camels nose is in the tent.

Specter is all about specter, never about principle.

They inevitably pull the quotes out of context and misunderstand everything they are saying.

Kind of like when they pull out the old “judge not” without any idea of what that scripture was actually trying to say.

I see the various scripture quotes as being in complete concert with my desires.

I think the Democratic version of the Parable of the Talents would be for the two who received five and two talents, not to use those talents to create more, but to simply turn some portion of their talents over to the moron who merely buried his one talent. Indeed, doesn’t that sound exactly like what’s going on in this country under Obama?

No matter who pays the price, for their benefit.

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

“About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went.

“He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

“The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

No union goon would endorse Jesus’ words here, the thrust of which is that it’s no one’s business what an employer does with his money with regard to paying workers.

Did you notice that the first one is OLD Testament (Jewish), 2nd one is New Testament (Christian), 3rd one is Prophet Mohammed?

Hmmmmm

I’m not sure exactly what your point is. My point is the of the biggest supporters of unions is the Communist Party USA. Communists despise religion, have no need for religion and do everything in their power to minimize it and destroy it’s relevance in today’s society.

For communists to quote the bible is simply ridiculous and the quotes they used show they completely misunderstand their meaning.

Oh. My point was that I can interpret each line as an indictment of unionization with little difficulty, which seems related.

Maybe the employees can file suit against the union for threatening the state of their current employment. I’m sure there would be a lawyer or two willing to tackle it.
