Great post. And your conclusion is a keeper:

“Debating with a liberal is like trying to smell the color 9.”

Love it!

Sue the union for the dues withheld x3 as punishment for the failure to disclose the results.

The United Farm Workers and Cesar Chaves were responsible for the elimination of the Bracero Program that provided passes for Mexican farm workers. The claim was that the Mexicans were taking American jobs. So, the Braceros were kicked out and within two years it was obvious the UFW could not take up the slack. The farmers, not being dummies, introduced many farm machinery labor saving devices, and many hybrids that compressed the harvest season. The farm laborers that remain today are better equipped and better trained, and certainly they are better educated. They know the UFW bosses skim the cream and could care less about the workers. It’s a different world.

What the Partisan Media Shills need now is a DNC talking point about how democracy isn't the same thing as democracy, and how neither democracy nor democracy was the same thing as populism.

I think the workers deserve far more than a simple refund, or refund with interest. There should be a punitive award as well as the union knowingly took the worker's money after the decertification vote was massively successful. Then used that money to keep the workers from knowing the results and that it was successful.

California farm workers voted out their union by a 5-1 margin in 2013, but state regulators withheld those results until a federal court ordered them released.

I'm betting the corrupt New York Times and knee-pad boys at the Washington Post WILL NOT PICK UP THIS STORY.

If you check the communist connections of many of the UFW’s original leaders, you’ll find out who was the hidden hand behind a lot of their propaganda efforts.

Chavez was actually more honest as a leader than most of his key people including Dolores Huerta and (I believe) Velasquez or something like that.

You can find a lot on Huerta at www.keywiki.org. And if the name Bert Corona comes up, just look for him under the Communist Party USA or his own page.
