Social Commentary, from one of our instructors, who is a state employee:

"At work, I am required to belong to a labor union. I was never giv en a choice. Union dues are automatically deducted from my paycheck, just as ar e federal taxes and Social Security 'contributions.' That mon ey goes to support partisan, political candidates and causes to which I am personally opposed,

but individual members like me are, of course, never asked about political preferences.

Quite the contrary! Before every election, including the last one, our Union 'directs' all members to blindly vote a straight-party Democrat ticket. Voting any other way is condemned as 'disloyal,' as if we we re all aspiring party members in a Marxist, police state!

The Union's executive director said:

'We want... fewer jails... fewer guns... less vice... less greed... less revenge...'

Fewer jails? Fewer guns? Less of that nasty, capitalistic greed? How utopian! Sounds like a Communist paradise, where the last capitalist will ultimately be hanged by the tripe of the last gun owner. In fact, nearly i dentical words have been spoken by Joe Stalin himself. Our Union claims to work to empower its members, but, by limiting gun ownership, individual members are

effectively weakened. Perhaps it is actually our union's leadershi p, who, like the leftist politicians they support, are fearful of armed members!=80

Comment: Late union leader, George Meany, valiantly and steadfastly kept Communist influence out of the American Labor Movement, at least when he was alive. He saw the corrupting effect of Communists in Europe, and wanted no thing to do with them. Unfortunately, his legacy is obviously fading. Unlimited

power for themselves is now a goal, indeed a religion, shared by leftist/Marxist politicians and those who support them. The bitter, vile i ntolerance they direct at all who dare oppose them betrays their true agenda. It alwa ys does!
