After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire,

he had some awful stuff left with which he made a SCAB.

A SCAB is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain,

and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue.

Where others have hearts he carries a tumor of rotten principles.

When a SCAB comes down the street men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven,

and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.

No man has a right to SCAB as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in,

or a rope long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared to a SCAB.

For betraying his master he had the character to hang himself. A SCAB hasn't.

Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas Iscariot sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.

Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the British Army.

The modern strike breaker sells his birthright, his country, his wife, his children and his fellow-men

for an unfulfilled promise from his employer, trust or corporation.

Esau was a traitor to himself, Judas Iscariot was a traitor to his Lord,

Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country.

A STRIKE BREAKER IS A TRAITOR TO HIS GOD, HIS COUNTRY, HIS FAMILY AND THE WORKING CLASS
