		<description>This is called fomenting.

No doubt, someone somewhere is going short on Walmart, and hopes to make a killing.

Has any other company, who has a non-union work force, had their stock price down graded?

&lt;strong&gt;Fomenting to go short.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;the company would have to concede higher wages formore seasoned employees, increase employee benefits significantly, and would experience diminished workforce flexibility, the analyst said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;And what that little statement leaves out, but will be devastating nation wide is that the prices of all their items and food, which is low and allows lower income families the ability to stay afloat, especially those able to but groceries for half what it would cost at any normal supermarket, to rise drastically, placing undue hardship on people who will, in no way, benefit from the unionization of the WalMart employees.

See, that is the Democrat plan for you.  They love to say how they are helping and list off any number of special interest groups, but ultimately their plans will destroy far more people in this country than they could ever help.</description>

		<description>I was at my local union meeting this evening. First came a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nalc.org/depart/legpol/pdf/Employee%20Free%20Choice%20Act.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;call to action  &lt;/a&gt;to contact our congressmen and senators to support the Employee Free Choice Act, whose opponents are
- raising &quot;&#039;gasp&#039;$100 million to fight&quot; ,
- and spreading the &#039;myth of union coercion&#039;....

 Next came
- pressure to donate through payroll deduction to the union&#039;s PAC,
- and a survey of &#039;What I want my union to do / not do&#039; which we were told to leave in a branch officer&#039;s work space if we wanted anonymity.

Lesson 1 : Millions for advocacy from big business, bad.
Many more millions for big labor advocacy, good.

Lesson 2: Public response to your local union survey is too intimidating. Publicly deciding to seek or not seek union representation is not at all intimidating. 

Too funny.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I guess I have a problem understanding “illegal alien civil rights”

PC is Thought Control
LEE&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That comes from the mindset &quot;Citizen of the World&quot;, &quot;World Without Borders&quot;-Racist, Imperialist, Capitalist America must be destroyed on the alter of the UN. John McCain was not too far from there--Obama made his point rather clear at the Socialist Workers Rally in Berlin.

In the case of the illegal aliens in Arizona and in this case Maricopa County the groups representing the law suit are Reconquesta--they want the western United States to be reunited with Mexico.

These groups not only do not want the immigration laws enforced:
&lt;strong&gt;Drunk Driving&lt;/strong&gt;-bad but part of the macho culture
&lt;strong&gt;Spousal Abuse&lt;/strong&gt;- to be settled by family, part of the macho culture and none of the Man&#039;s business
&lt;strong&gt;Coyotes&lt;/strong&gt;-  Criminals to the U.S. but heroes to the Reconquesta and anarchist. They can be real monsters to their victims.
&lt;strong&gt;Gang Activity&lt;/strong&gt; and associated crime--macho culture again.

And the list goes on. In southern Arizona we have Rep. Raul Grijalva openly working for the Reconquesta. Treason and nothing but treason. No worse than McCain I would suppose.

Card Check-open immigration-medical files online- it is all part and parcel of our subjugation--they wish the SOBs.

&lt;strong&gt;Keep the change-I&#039;ll keep my guns&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

Sorry, I&#039;ve been doing my final out-processing and it has been really rough, especially today.

There&#039;s a joke in the military about GS (Gov.Service) workers:
Its a hard job: start at bright &amp; early at the crack of 10:00, union break at 10:30... Eagerly back at it at 11:45, a well-earned lunch at 13!  2 measly hrs for lunch  --  hardly any time at all  --  then back workin&#039; hard until the union break at 1545!  Work like a dog until 1630 and drag yourself home to a well-deserved rest!

And all at only 22% more than a serviceman in the same job!
(...can you tell the major source my frustration?)  ;)

I&#039;m sorry I misread the tone you used. Going back &amp; re-reading it I see the tone meant now.

Take care!  As for me, I&#039;m taking the wife to dinner...</description>

Yep he won’t eat till it’s fixed.
