Speak Ups for June 24 - Why be critical of Honda for not being union? Did unions help all those Delphi workers who lost their jobs?

Why be critical of Honda for not being union? Did unions help all those Delphi workers who lost their jobs? We should be extremely happy to have a solid employer who hires locally.

You retired from a union job and could not believe the sense of entitlement of your fellow workers. So you turned down that entitlement pension. Right? I think you wish you had a union job because you sound like a disgruntled retired worker who can't afford to retire because you weren't lucky enough to work for a union company.

My job was recently sent to China. My employer told me if I trained my "replacement" to do my job, I would receive 26 weeks of severance pay. If I refused to train him, I would receive none. I am a lifelong Republican and did my research to find my fellow Republicans pushed to send my job to China and other Third World countries, as they felt it would be good for the American economy. What kind of idiot believes this? I will never vote for a Republican again as long as I live.

Springfield has a water park that we can't afford to fund that doesn't open until 1 p.m. and closes early in the year. Springfield openly admits it can't afford to run this park full time. But we're getting an ice skating rink that we can't afford and very few will use, I think next we should get a polo field. This way those elite idiots that make these decisions can play polo at the working man's expense.

When listing the names of politicians, it's customary to put the highest-ranking first. The SNS headline should have read, "Obama, Boehner beat Biden, Kasich on links."

To the bar owner who said, "Most people have misdemeanors": What planet do you live on? Most people don't get arrested or go to bars.
