I still can't get over the sheer naked hypocrisy of being pro small government, pro free market and Capitalist, but also anti-union.

The whole point of a Union is that it's the free market alternative to direct government intervention and regulation. If you're both small-government capitalist and anti-union, what you actually are is pro-slavery.
