http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/on-the-record/2011/09/01/herman-cain-recent-democratic-attacks-tea-party-desperate-take-race-card-new-lowOf course liberals are upset. They live in a country they hate, surrounded by citizens they hate, controlled by a constitution they hate, defended by a military they hate, payed for by an economy they hate. Knowing no motive other than hate, they can only project hate as the motivation for everyone else.
Obama and National Labor Relations Board attack American companies

Companies fed up with liberal government and labor unions want to move to more conservative states. Obama and the National Labor Relations Board immediately attack. Their considered opinion must be "You can't run your business as you see fit based on sound economic principles. What do you think this is, the United States of America?"

President Obama wants you to believe America's founders were in error when they gave citizens the right to bear arms.
The administration and even their Mexican counterparts have manipulated public opinion to believe that the cartel drug wars are being fueled largely by American guns. In support of that spin, they are now trying to impose a new rule and regulation that requires licensed firearms dealers in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to report to the federal government whenever someone buys from them more than one semiautomatic rifle with certain characteristics.
Obama's Department of Justice is essentially amending the Second Amendment by changing the rules for border-state gun sales. While working under the guise of stopping illegal contraband and fighting drug cartels, the White House is in reality further imposing its gun-control agenda on the American public through back-door rule-making. This is just one more example of the feds exceeding their powers and averting congressional permission. It is also another complete disregard of the Constitution.
Based upon those illegalities, my friend and the NRA EVP and CEO, Wayne LaPierre, disclosed on Fox News recently that the NRA filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, or BATFE, to issue an injunction barring enforcement of the rule. And with NRA support, the U.S. House has also voted to withhold funding for the enforcement of the new regulation.
As LaPierre wrote in his weekly commentary last week, "The cartels run a $40 billion industry … and the [Obama] administration wants the public to believe that it's going to disarm cartels with a form? Who is the president kidding?"
Doesn't Obama know that restricting the right to bear arms primarily ties the hands of good guys, while the bad guys purchase them from a host of other illegal sources? And what part of "shall not be infringed" in the Second Amendment do the feds not understand?
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the Justice Department will "vigorously oppose" the NRA lawsuit.
The facts are, as Wayne LaPierre points out, that cartels get their machine guns, grenades, missile launchers and tanks from Central and South America, Russia, China, international black markets and defections from the Mexican army. State Department cables, released by WikiLeaks, support those facts.
On the one hand, Fox News reported that, in 2009-10, more than 20,000 guns recovered in Mexico came from U.S. manufacturers. On the other hand, 75 percent of guns submitted to the U.S. could not be traced to a licensed gun store. But there is one place more than 2,000 crime guns could be traced: the federal government.
The winner of the largest-American-supplier-of-guns-to-Mexico award is actually the Obama administration via the Fast and Furious program – a botched, foiled and disastrous sting operation by the agency's Phoenix division to uncover a large network of cartel-linked gunrunners. During 2009-2011, through Operation Fast & Furious, the ATF facilitated the sale of 2,020 firearms to suspected smugglers over 15 months!
Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, have been researching information on the Fast and Furious program for months. Grassley and Issa recently blew the whistle that to date "hundreds of these weapons have already been recovered at crime scenes in Mexico." (Your tax dollars hard at work!)
Among the tragic consequences was the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, gunned down in the Arizona desert last December. Two AK-47 semi-automatic rifles found at the scene traced directly to the Fast & Furious sting.
As far as the Obama administration's culpability confession, Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a former Texas attorney general, recently told the Washington Times, "Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson told congressional investigators the agency's senior leadership would have preferred to cooperate more with the congressional investigation of the operation, but Justice Department officials directed ATF not to respond and took full control of replying to briefing and document requests from Congress."
To add insult to injury, the ATF recently promoted three key supervisors of the Fast and Furious sting operation, who allowed firearms to be illegally trafficked across the U.S. border into Mexico, to new management jobs in Washington!
The truth is that the Obama administration is involved right now in a monumental cover-up regarding its criminal activity to hand over thousands of firearms to gun runners and smugglers. And to duck and dodge their responsibility of those illegalities by now coming across as the vanguard of gun control by cracking down on the sales of two guns sold to Americans at one time is preposterous hypocrisy.
Moreover, to unilaterally mandate this new federal rule so close to the Fast and Furious debacle is more than coincidental, especially in light of the fact that the administration tabled the proposed regulation in January of this year because it was "not an emergency." The only thing that has changed is the embarrassing revelation of the ATF disaster.
The Obama administration is not only trying to eliminate our Second Amendment rights but also demonize good, law-abiding American gun dealers and citizens in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They are not only smuggling their guns but also trying to take ours. And I, for one, am not going to sit back and just watch it happen.
God, guns and guts made America. Let's keep all three.

Britain’s criminal utopia, the result of gun bans.
"If you want to see what a disarmed society looks like, look no further than England.
Thousands of angry, drunk, violent thugs running wild and stealing anything they can carry. Shopkeepers and homeowners crippled with fear, unable to defend their loved ones or their property. Innocent citizens forced to watch helplessly while their life’s dreams — everything they worked so hard to build and acquire — are carried out the door, or smashed to pieces, or burned to the ground.
Men, women and children forced to strip naked in the streets, while packs of criminals laugh and ridicule them before making off with their clothing.
The fact is, when British politicians stripped their citizens of their God-given right to self-defense, they robbed them of their freedom and their dignity.
Sales of baseball bats are up over 5,000% on Amazon.co.uk. This isn’t to mark the beginning of little league season. These are desperate homeowners and shopkeepers purchasing the best — and in reality, only — self-defense tool that the British government will allow them to own…at least for now."
Solar Power Business Model Unsustainable
Solar Power Business Model Unsustainable
The Obama administration has been trying to foist green industry on uninterested Americans since he first stepped in to office three years ago. So far, the efforts have been less than successful. The Chevy Volt has miserable sales, wind-power has proven to be something less than a viable alternative, and now it appears that reality is catching up with solar power as well.Solyndra is a solar panel maker that was propped up by the administration having been awarded over half a billion dollars in loan guarantees. Now, the company is going under and taking all that money and 1,100 employees jobs with it.
Solyndra, a California solar panel maker, had long been an administration favorite. Over the past two years, President Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu each had made congratulatory visits to the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters.The RNC has released a video that documents the rhetoric and the reality that has surrounded this big government test case:
The reasons for it’s failure are simple enough. Consumers simply haven’t expressed an interest in paying the exorbitant fees associated with upgrading to solar, even with the massive subsidies that are available.
But solar industry analyst Peter Lynch said that Solyndra struggled from the beginning with an imbalanced financial model. “You make something in a factory and it costs $6, you sell it for $3, but you really, really need to sell it for $1.50 to be competitive,” Lynch said of Solyndra. “It was an insane business model. The numbers just don’t work, and they never did.”It’s pretty clear that President Obama knew that this was the case judging by how much effort he has put into shutting down the coal industry in hopes that American’s would have no other alternative but to fulfill his dreams of green industry and carbon trading.
I take no joy in a company going under, much less the loss of income for those 1,100 people that worked there. As the real estate sector continues to struggle, banks that had received TARP are in danger of financial meltdown, publicly financed cars sit on the showroom floor with no buyers, and government guaranteed corporations with unsustainable business models go under – is it perhaps time to consider that whether it’s TARP, auto bailouts or stimulus loans, the market is much better at picking winners and losers than Barack Obama
Obama makes Carter look good.

0 job growth in Obama "recovery" even with massive fraud in how unemployment is counted in this administration. First time since 1943 or 1945. Just another historic change brought to you by Obama and his liberal friends.

Union woes
“The authors hypothesize that employment has contracted in highly unionized areas and expanded in sectors with low union participation.” OR, much more likely, “9.1%” unemployment is a lie and employment has contracted in all areas similarly. Also interesting is that the administration has declared unemployment will stay at 9%. Reading between the lines, 9% will be reported regardless of how bad the economy is.
“but during the period studied, the heavily unionized construction industry has been decimated and the Old London factory that produced Melba toast took its 228 jobs to North Carolina.” You mean liberalized states like new york can’t compete with conservative states? Shocking. How is it they managed in our past good economy then? Massive federal robin hood programs. Take from the smart and successful states/businesses/people and give to the inefficient, ineffective, and unmotivated. The only way to fix their lack of motivation and efficiency is to cut them off.
Feds sue over their own rules.
Feds order banks to make subprime loans. Banks argue, feds threaten, banks give in. It turns into exactly the debacle banks complained about. Feds decide to sue banks weakened by fed mismanagement for following fed rules. Obviously the banks are to blame, not the democrats making the rules, enforcing the rules, and running fannie mae and freddie mac. When will the American people wake up and throw these idiots out of office?
Mitt Romney = RINO.
