That's right there, bf. I was called a communist as a kid, had to grow up with that stigma, and the teachers at school and city leaders did nothing to stop it. Bitter, you darn right I am.

The coops you talk about are communist oriented...Red coops. We would never accepted their political beliefs, our members WERE hard working rural and city people whose ancestors rejected the communist infiltration of a good clean society. In fact, most Co-Ops in my day were organized as Co-Op Societies.

Natural Foods and Whole Foods are not "white" Co-Ops. They are communist coops. I know the difference. My father, in 1978, wore a Bob Short for Senate button and a Keep the BWCA open button on his label as manager of the Northern Farmers Co-Op Society. Alpha Smaby, a wacko liberal from Minneapolis, whose husband Art Smaby was formerly President of Midland Cooperatives and had a cabin on the Cook end of Vermilion, verbally accosted my father and tried to order him to remove his buttons. He refused, stood his ground, and graciously instructed Alpha what a cooperative stood for. She threw a fit right there in the store. There you are bf. How do you account for that behavior from your communist side of the aisle?

My comments about the communist coops still in operation stand. Why else would they be so upset with my anti-Wellstone button? One of my best friends in life, Benny Rukavina died, I hated to lose him. But the best thing he gave to northern Minnesota, if he had to die, is when he did. We got rid of the worthless piece of human excrement Wellstone when that plane landed in the swamp south of Eveleth. I jumped for joy when my wife called me with some of the best news I have ever gotten in my life. To this day, I thank God for getting rid of Wellstone that day.

bf, you still haven't reported back on the Reds trying to take over the Co-Ops in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and the UP. Get back to us once you learn the facts. OC
