Citing ObamaCare, 40,000 Longshoremen quit the AFL-CIO

Not because they're suddenly not BigUnion assholes, but because they wanted single-payer, and they think the AFL-CIO's going along with a tax on their "Cadillac" plan was a betrayal.

To Hell and damnation with them all.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Sundet slammed Obama's immigration plan saying it is "designed to give [only] highly-paid workers a real path to citizenship."

Private sector unions have fallen to an all time low participation rate in the US workforce. Unionized workers now account for only 11.3 percent of the US workforce.

So, they want more poor illiterates to rope into their union.  Swell.

I'm beginning to believe there are more of "them" than there are of us.  If so, we're sca-rewed.

I reached that point the day after the last election.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

No, not even close to being non-union. I'll bet the ILWU will continue to collect dues and push their agenda....
