Neither the UAW nor any other unions have been able to unionize Honda plants, and for that they have my business. That, and their cars are more reliable and better engineered than anything GM puts out.

No pressure or intimidation going on there, no sir. If unions are such a great thing, the leaders should have nothing to fear with voluntary dues collection, right?

Eliminating the forced collection of union dues has severed the tumor's blood vessels.

Anything I want to give to charity goes through my CHURCH, not government. Charity administered without the gospel is destructive and hateful.

Family members support each other and as a result discourage dependence on the state. Is it any wonder progressives must destroy them? DCFS is just one of their attack dogs.
