1. You’re irate over the president taking so many vacation days on the taxpayer’s dime (61 thus far), but you thought George W. Bush earned every minute of his leisure time (196 days at the same point in his presidency).

2. You’re happy with your 40 hour work week, paid vacations and company-provided healthcare, but you’re strongly anti-union, because those commies haven’t done anything for you lately.

*snip*

14. You believe the wealthiest Americans are “job creators,” and they are — but it doesn't bother you that all the workers in those positions are in India, China and Malaysia, and they’re doing the jobs that our fathers once did.

1. I just had a little conversation with a so-called conservative.

She hates Obama and informed me that there were union guys that make more than me doing what I do. As if I'm supposed to want to drag union guys down to even things out. She doesn't know that I'm paid exactly what the union guys get. My company sets that with a prevailing wage type system.

We work at a blood center. I'm a driver and she's a phlebotomist. She also makes top dollar for her qualifications and we have good medical. No pension plan but you can't expect that these days.

This woman is a whining lazy ass and is already on about everyone's shit list. We call it the no slack list. She will be nailed for being even one minute late or anything else, every time. My finding out she's also a right-wing ignoramus definitely wasn't going to do her any good.

From the start she was making a display of some back and hip problems. She's about 45 and in horrible physical condition. Huffing and puffing over the slightest exertion and incessantly whining about being to hot.

She went home the other day complaining that it was too painful for her to squat or bend over to do parts of her job. She's parlayed this into a week off using sick days. Now she's called in sick in advance already for most of next week. We're thinking she's trying to get herself fired so she can collect unenjoyment. Our company never contests claims as far as anyone knows.

Leave it to a right-winger like that to take advantage of exactly the programs she thinks she's against. Her husband is a well paid IT guy at a credit union. His job actually exists because of the labor movement. It's our local mill credit union. I bet he's all for her scamming the system.

When it comes down to it, these people are only for what they think gets them ahead now. Absolutely no values or ability to even think about it objectively.
