I was talking about the words in your name/avatar regarding Ike.
I happen to enjoy David Gilmore's stratocaster prowess, and as such have gained a modicum of respect for you.
Nevertheless, don't make me pull out some of Ike's sentiments about unions when he was a general awaiting munitions when the unions were striking in '43 and 44.
Don't re-write history my friend.
It's ok to respect IKE... just do it for the RIGHT reasons.
You sound like a left wing lib who acts like a conservative to get more people to listen.
No, what I am is a conservative who realizes that I have nothing in common with the people Mitt Romney was talking truth to in that room.
This is the best look at the "Real" Mitt Romney short of us getting footage of him in his Mormon Temple doing the Secret Handshake to get into the Celestial Heaven.
As for Ike and Unions..
"You of organized labor and those who have gone before you in the union movement have helped make a unique contribution to the general welfare of the Republic–the development of the American philosophy of labor. This philosophy, if adopted globally, could bring about a world, prosperous, at peace, sharing the fruits of the earth with justice to all men. It would raise to freedom and prosperity hundreds of millions of men and women–and their children–who toil in slavery behind the Curtain." - Dwight D. Eisenhower, Dec 5, 1955.

There's a whole speech that follows that frankly, would get you tarred and feathered in today's REpublican Party.
Incidently, I don't give unions a blank check. I think some things they do are kind of stupid..
