Again with the Jew-baiting. Hate to tell you this, Frank, but I'm not Jewish. I'm not Black either, but I find your racist attacks on both groups to be disgusting.
Sorry about going over your head with the terminology, but you have to admit, I did give you a rather simple definition of non-sequitur. Straw man is attacking something your opponenet didn't say and then assigning it to him (like building a strawman, beating it up, and saying that it was your opponent because in fact, you're incapable of beating your real opponent.)
Unions, actually, are more about collective bargaining and are no more about politics than anything else, at least that's what the idea is supposed to be about.
Congratulations on admitting that you're against fighting the War On Terror. Not too many folks would think to admit to that.
