The President shows America the middle finger

The President of the United States just flipped us all off. In a time where jobs are needed, desparately, by many Americans, the President used a sneaky, underhanded ploy to get what he wants. He appointed three people to the NLRB that are so anti-business, so anti-American, so anti-jobs that their liberal agenda will stifle any growth possibility for the coming future.

And he has shown his true colors. He is anti-people. This move, however politically motivated or astute, is by far the most ludicrous action by a President who says he lsitens to the people and who says he cares about the peiople and who says he is pro-jobs - jobs are his number one concern.

But as he has lied to the American public in the past, he is lying to us again. And this time he is sending that middle finger loud and clear. All he cares about is protecting his own job. He wants to pander to as many groups as he possibly can, using his social agenda of spreading the wealth (among his labor cronies) and fair share (for his buds in DC and in liberal bastions everywhere) of things they never worked for.

He has appointed these union-friendly thugs to make sure his National Labor Relations Board,, which has proven itself in the Boeing case to be MEGA anti-business (which means anti-job), as the enforcement arm of power mad and money hungry union officials. The same union officials who want to do away with Americans rights to choose, in private, whether they want to be in a union or not.

These unions are anti-American. The NLRB is anti-American. And the President has just proven, once more, that HE IS ANTI-AMERICAN.

(I only say all this because unions don't care about jobs unless they are getting a cut from them. And with their union-friendly White House comrades, they can get things done to whittle the rights of the American worker, because it suits them.)

How much longer are Americans going to sit idly by while they are being insulted by their leaders? How much longer are we going to sit here, jobless, hungry, struggling, while this President sits down to fancy dinners with his "supporters" and, like a dictator of old, proclaims not only does he know what's best for you but he is going to do whatever he wants so his pals can get whatever they want . . . all the while screwing the people.

If he really cared, he wold not have made these controversial appointments, basically behind our backs. He would have waited and argued out the process of appointments. But since he knew we didn't want them, because he knew they were a sleazy deal, he did them when he would face no opposition. (And by the way, Congress may have been on recess, but the members of Congress have been holding meetings practically every few days. So it may have been "recess" but it was a working one.)

And in the background, while everyone is focused on recess appointments and GOP battles and claims of racism by America's top cop, they are slowly eroding even more of our rights. They want to "protect" intellectual property rights by giving themselves the power to arbitrarily shut down sections of the internet. (See SOPA and PIPA, which are - as usual with government legislation - not a bad idea but the wording goes BEYOND helping and delves dangerously toward censorship and not unlike what the Hitlers and Mussolinis of history did. The only people who are for it, are afraid of reprisals from the likes of that sleazy AG, Eric Holder.)

Obama and his ilk know nothing of Freedom, except when it refers to them having the freedom to strip away ours. They know nothing of jobs, except to figure out how to get power and money from those who want to control them. They know nothing about rights, except as a cause to hate.

I know I am coming on pretty strong here, but the rest of the media is not going to say anything about it. I know I am coming across as harsh, but it is the DUTY of a free press to stand as the fourth estate over government, to be the people's eyes and ears and express the people's outrage at corruption and injustices perpetrated by a government who's professed role is to govern the people by the WILL of the people.

So agree with me or disagree with me, it really doesn't matter. So long as you look at what I offer up with a reasoning mind and come to your own conclusions. Don't allow them to dictate to you what they are doing is right. Look at it and see the truth, determine the reality, avoid the SPIN. Stop being sheep. Anyway, this is just me, one man among several hundred million, Thinking Out Loud.

have a great day.

"Shameless campaign to bully and American business" over

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has dropped its complaint over Boeing's opening of a plant in South Carolina, at the request of the union that opened the suit in the first place.

NLRB spokesman (and President Obama appointee), Lafe Solomon, stated that the case was "never about the union or the N.L.R.B. telling Boeing where it could put its plants . . . [t]he case was always about the loss of future jobs in the Seattle area. This agreement has resolved that issue. There is job security in the Washington area."

Others thought differently.

The U.S. Chamber of COmmerce felt different. Even though they welcomed the boards decision, Randell K Johnson, Sr. VP of labor, said that more "needs to be done to prevent this outrageous overreach in the future.”

Republican lawmakers and GOP Presidential candidates decried it as a regulatory overreach by the Obama Administration. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the complaint "frivolous." Rep. Joe Kline (R-MI) called the case a "shameless campaign to bully an American business."

And Boeing, who has maintained all along that the suit was without merit, expressed their gratitude of all the support received from across the country.

I also made comment on this case (as I, until recently, resided in SC and was intimate with the case).

However, I feel compelled to greet this decision with a bit of tempered elation. Tempered, because it only came after Boeing came to an agreement with the unions in Washington state. Both the union and the NLRB can view this decision as a victory. And they would be correct in that assumption. Because they were indeed able to bully an American business through the cooperation of a government agency. The Obama Administration's bedtime relationship with the unions can only be overturned by either a full force determination to block any future nominations by the POTUS to this board, or by his termination as President in November of 2012.

The latter seems a difficult prospect at best, given the current crop of GOP candidates and the fact that they are not really thrilling the rank and file of the Republican base.

I salute the determination of Boeing and our Republican lawmakers to the successful public airing of this issue. But I fear that future union / NLRB joint efforts to destroy American business will have more success. Unless we, as a people, stand up and tell them ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Block Obama nominations to this board. Stop union efforts to undermine business for their own personal, monetary and power grab gains. (Defeating Card check legislation, as one example.) Vote this President, who is intent on destroying this country in the name of social change, OUT of office in November 2012.

These are only a few ways, but by far the best ways, of telling the people in power that WE give them that power and WE CAN TAKE IT AWAY!

Agree or disagree, it doesn't really matter to me. So long as I get you to stop being mindless sheep and start thinking for yourselves, I have done my job. But,a s usual, this is just me, Thinking Out Loud.

Have a great day.

The loonies in DC are at it again!

President Obama has no clue as to what it takes to run a business - he has never run a business, has never been involved in the running of a business, has no clue what it takes to get a business running nor keep it going - and yet he will not intervene in the NLRB's decision to take Boeing to court on the word of greedy, sleazy, low life union thugs who don't care a hoot about workers in America, just their grab for power and money. The members are Presidential appointments, not elected, meaning that it is up to the President to keep these nimrods in check. but he won't. Why? because he is bowing to the almighty dollar unions thugs throw into his re-election coffers. heaven forbid he do what is right for America, the American worker or the economy!

Contact your Senator to tell them that they need to pass S. 964. (The "Job Protection Act") Sign the petition that 37 Republican Senators have begun in order to get this legislation on the books in order to curtail the non-elected officials at the NLRB. Call, write, email the White House and let the President know that the actions of the NLRB are in opposition to his responsibilities to make sure Americans can get back to work, which will shore up the economy and get America back on track. Write letters to the editor of your local paper, or the national rags such as the Wall Street Journal. Let your family and friends know that they need to speak up because our government will not.

Now that that little rant is out of the way, lets move on to another topic of interest that affects every single one of us in so many ways.

NASA.

The chopping of NASA's budget makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you agree, you probably know why. But if you are like so many politicians and so many liberal loonies who would shoot their foot to get rid of a corn on your toe, let me enlighten you as to why NASA is more iportant than many people realize.

You like getting less radiation during x-rays and mammograms? MASA made that possible. You like the benefit of artificial limbs not being clunky things, thus allowing people who lose limbs (like our brave men and women in the military and the likes of lance Armstrong) to re-enter society in productive ways? NASA made that possible, too.

Too esoteric and not applicable to you personally? How about smoke detectors? NASA (for Skylab in the '70s) did that. Baby formula? Nasa. Cordless drills? Yard trimmers? Dustbusters? NASA, NASA, and NASA. CAT scans and MRIs?? That was NASA, too.

NASA began in October of 1958 and replaced NACA (National Advisory Commission for Aeronautics), which began in 1915. And for the past 50+ years has been working in conjunction with civilian businesses to design and develop technology which accounts for so much you never really knew before. (For more info, check out this article.)

So why keep NASA's funding in place and work on getting NASA's mission back on track? Who knows what wonders and innovations they will come up with in the next 50 years. Who knows what lives could be made better, saved. But I can tell you how many lives will NOT be made better if the funding is allowed to be cut and NASA dissected . . . ZERO. NONE. NADA.

Tell you elected officials to read that article linked above. Tell them that NASA is not only vital to our national economy, but it is important for our future.

Agree, disagree, it really doesn't matter. If only you come away with some new thoughts on things or with a different perspective - in other words if you think for yourself instead of listening to other people, including me - then I have done my job. Because, you know, this is just me, Thinking Out Loud.

Have a great day.
