   *Having spent 30 years in the automotive industry, I will say it once more, unions, and in particular the UAW/CAW, are responsible for more manufacturing job losses in this country than anything else on the planet!
   *P-BO can have his unions, as they are only 7% of the working population and are avowed communists just like him!
   *Unionism is communism!
   *P-BO is going down this November, as only the black folks will continue to vote for him in high numbers based solely on race; The union rank and file has probably seen the light!

   The speech had the flavor of a campaign speech, with an enthusiastic audience greeting the president with chants of “Four more years.” The UAW leadership has vowed to make a major push to re-elect Obama, especially with membership concentrated in the battleground states of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

   I guess so. They took posession of $50BB in stolen taxpayer money to keep their losing concern afloat for a few more years until the next panic. They are certainly not cheering for America.

    Good point.

    There’s a psychiatric term for that:
    Pathological

    “There are many consequences of being a pathological liar. Due to lack of trust, most pathological liar’s relationships and friendships fail. If the disease continues to progress, lying could become so severe as to cause legal problems, including but not limited to fraud.”

    In my locale the majority with the 08 and 12 stupid stickers are the liberal white yuppies. These people honestly beleive that the only reason people are unhappy with Obamacare is that it is not true universal healthcare. They also believe that the rising gas prices are due to the oil companies price manipulating the price at the pump to try to squeeze every last dime out of us while at the same time making sure that green energy companies go bankrupt by “freezing” the green products out of the market place.

    While Americans were dying trying to get supplies to the Soviets via the “lend-lease” program, while Russians were dying by the tens of thousands trying to defend the Rodina, at the height of WWII, the Soviets were building opera houses in Moscow.

    This pretty much sums it up.

    The Ant and the Grasshopper

    OLDE VERSION

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat and rain all summer long.
    He is building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed.

    The Grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

    MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
    Be responsible for yourself!

    MODERN VERSION

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long.
    He is building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference.
    He demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

    CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper.
    They next show a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
    America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

    How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

    Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the Grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green…”

    ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the Ant’s house.
    The news stations film the SEIU group singing, “We shall overcome….”

    Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the Grasshopper’s sake, while he damns the Ant.

    President Obama condemns the Ant.
    He also blames President Bush 43 & 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus and the Pope for the Grasshopper’s plight.

    Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid exclaim, in an interview with Piers Morgan, that the Ant has gotten rich off the back of the Grasshopper.
    They both call for an immediate tax hike on the Ant to make him pay his fair share.

    Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

    The Ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs.
    Having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the Grasshopper.

    The story ends as we see the Grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the Ant’s food.
    The government house he is in, which, just happens to be the Ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the Grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.

    The Ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

    The Grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident.
    The house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of Spiders.
    They terrorize the ramshackle and once prosperous and peaceful neighborhood.

    The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free World with it.

    MORAL OF THE STORY:
    Be careful how you vote in 2012.

    I’ve sent this to you because I believe that you are an Ant not a Grasshopper!
    Make sure that you pass this on to other Ants.
    Don’t bother sending it on to any Grasshoppers because they wouldn’t understand it, anyway.
