Displaying 1 To 1 Of 1 Comments I am not affiliated with a union, but had an interesting encounter that hopefully someone can help me understand. I am new to SE Wisconsin and while shopping at a SuperValue grocery store (non-union) today, I happen to park next to the sidewalk where union representatives where picketing. As I got out of my truck, one of the union reps stated, “another unpatriotic shopper supporting corporate America”. I asked the man on what basis is he making this unpatriotic judgement. He said, “your are shopping at a non-union grocery store making you an adversary of the common American working man which makes up most of America. If I were you, I’d look out.” I was taken back and really did not know what to think so I turned around and continued with my grocery run. I will admit that I do not know much about unions but do know that in the past there certainly has been mob connections and violent actions when one opposes a union. However, I thought those days where in the past. Do I have anything to fear? I really can not go to the police 1) because I can not prove anything and 2) I believe most police are union also. I am looking for some perspective on this and thought someone on this site could provide it. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Comment Posted By daisaac On November 1, 2009 @ 4:26 pm

Have any of you read the Recovery Act???
Before any of you trash John Boehner and any of the other people who threw a hissy fit for not supporting the bill, you really should TRY to read it…get back to me in…lets say about a week or so. It will take you at least that long to get through it. It will take longer to understand all the crap that is in it. It is so loaded with PORK. A Bill is not just a Bill. Take a class in politics or better yet, go sit in on a Congressional debate. It will open your eyes!

By the way, screwing up trade with Mexico is going to enhance our chances at another economic depression…read up on what started us down the slippery slope of the last Great Depression. We are not alone in this world folks!
