Our Labor Union recently broke tradition and put up a face book account.  Boeing / IAM 751.My question, I have been attacked on numerous occassions by people saying Ron Paul hates unions, point 2, he crossed a picket line somewhere maybe Wal Mart?  Have no clue, I understand why and how Ron is oppossed to socialism with tax dollars. At the same time is he oppossed to labor unions that confine their interests to safety, environmental and wages hours and working conditions?  I would think not as Corporate America in many ways has raped this country in more ways then one.  I see labor unions as a necessity to balance power between the have and have nots. Freedom promotes bottom up control, labor can and does do this, they also can be top down if let go out of control.Can labor over step, YES.  Have they gone too far...sometimes yes, not as far as what has been done to us by Corp America though.  Help me answer or better understand Ron&#039;s position on labor so I can win more people over to the liberty movement.I know why I switched, for liberty, freedom, based on solid sacred ground and wisdom of our forefathers, to end the Fed etc truth! Greater moral ground etc.Yet I still feel there is definitely a place for labor here.  Help me find better understanding of Dr Pauls true position.dgrinde@yahoo.com or blog at rankandfilefreedom.blogspot.comDon Grinde</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am newer convert to <a

&quot;Freedom laid the foundation that catapulted us to becoming the strongest economic power in the world. The American people are strong and capable. We can pull ourselves out of this mess. All we need is for the nanny-state to get out of the way and allow us to do it. Freedom is our strength, government is our weakness. Only by recognizing this and unleashing our strengths will we solve the problems we face today.&quot;
As much as I respect Ron for what he has had the courage to bring to the debate, he is dead wrong on this issue. Christ Jesus is the Foundation upon which this republic (long gone?) rested. And our ONLY freedom will come from a RETURN to God&#039;s Law.Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.This country used to recognize these facts of Law....God’s Laws - “Man’s laws are strengthless before God’s laws, consequently a human law, directly contrary to the law of God, would be an absolute nullity.” Borden vs. State, 11 Ark 519, 526 (1851)God’s Law - &quot;Any law contrary to the Law of God, is no law at all.&quot; Sir William Blackstone.&quot;God alone is the lawgiver of eternity&quot;. Judge Henry Clay Dean, Crimes of the Civil War, 1868, pages 428-432.God’s Law - James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?For those that laugh at these statements; you need not wait too long before God judges us without pity or mercy for our pride and arrogance and the INNOCENT blood that runs from the abortion clinics, homosexual marriages, etc.&quot;And My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring recompense for your evil ways upon you, while your abominations are in the midst of you [calling down punishment from a righteous God]; and you shall know (recognize, understand, and realize) that I am the Lord.&quot; Ezekiel 7:4 (Amp)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is Ron&#8217;s quote from the article&#8230;<br

There is no such thing as &quot;principle money&quot; (i understand it&#039;s just a typo) but there&#039;s not even &quot;principal money&quot; .  There is such a thing as principal, which is the amount of money owed on a loan (exluding the interest).Moving on, there are three types of money.
