[QUOTE="Brownsocks, post: 3383980, member: 68379"] That the Constitution guarantees freedom of association to each of us does not mean that we may each associate with anyone we choose. It means that we may associate with whoever also agrees to associate with us. If B is forced to accept A’s offer of association, B is not free to choose his associations. Association would be a right of A, not B. It would not be a human right. Therefore, freedom of association, correctly understood, has both a positive and a negative component. We are free to associate with those who will accept us (positive), and we are free to abstain from associations of which we do not approve (negative). I am not a socialist, but my union is. Is it too much to ask for my union to be a little more welcoming to people like me? I don't even feel comfortable going to a meeting. [/QUOTE]
