This is another misrepresentation that's always circulated. McVeigh hated government, and stated on the record that what he did was because of Clinton allowing the ATF/FBI raid on the WACO compound. He was more of the anarchist persuasion.... he didn't blow up the federal building in the name of religion.

Actually, it's not the printer's responsibility to proof-read signage, like that. They actually take the time to furnish proofs to the client for a review before the job is actually printed but it's an industry practice that spelling is 100%, the client's responsibility.


And there's a difference between a typo and something that was clearly written, but the fact remains that Arab protesters have a better command of the English language than most Tea-Partiers (and some Democrats, apparently).




As far as my assertion that ignorance is more dangerous to our country than terrorists - again, I raise the etymology of the phrase, "useful idiot."

You cant change the rules as we go along. You asked for examples of redneck rampage. Mcveigh was associated with rightwing militias & white supremacists. That practically defines redneck. not sure why you mention religion here, it wasn’t a pre-requisite for the part I quoted.

I know some republicans that are in unions... Does that mean they are out of the party Kevin?

Many Republicans are- because they are forced to. In some cases, they can either pony up the $1000 annual union representation fee, or work somewhere else. That's part of the problem- public sector union workers have about 35-40% Republican voter representation... but 98% of dues that go to political campaigns fill Democrat coffers. That's fair, right?


... and I still stand by my previous statement by the way:

Private, Longshoreman.

Private sector unions are fine; they can't stretch their contracts into the realm of the absurd, otherwise their employer will go out of business and the union members will be unemployed. It's night and day between them and public sector unions, who subsist on the teat of the taxpayer, demanding ever-growing ridiculous wages/benefits/pension plans cities and states can't afford, and fund the elections of politicians who will let them continue the cycle of destruction.

So true. 2 years ago I got an 18% pay rise, in order to achieve “pay parity” with government workers interstate. Now we’ve got a budget freeze, hiring freeze etc. not before I got my next 2 pay rises though.

The best part is im not even a member of the union. Go team!
