How Many Businesses Have Announced Closings or Layoffs Since Obama Won A Second Term?

It’s too bad they didn’t lay people off before the election and then say they might be able to hire them back if Romney was elected.

That’s hilarious! You should find a way to suggest that to them, maybe via Twitter or FaceBook.
Wait Until You Hear About the Latest Things MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Finds Racist: ‘It’s a Sickness by the White People’

Chris Matthews really needs to lay off his continual harping on racism. Doing so only makes him appear arrogant. He seems to think he is so much more superior to everyone else because he bashes his own race. The mere mention of racial differences doesn’t by any stretch of the imagination infer racial superiority. It is simply noting the differences. That is all. I am a white woman and my husband is black. I tease him about not being able to see him in the dark, and about him liking fried chicken. And he teases me about my white skin glowing, and that I cook good, for a white woman, even though I don’t cook southern food. In Chris’ mind, however, I’m the racist but my husband is not. Why? Because apparently it’s only white people who are racist. At least, I have never ever heard him make any sort of reference to black racism. Chris Matthews is an imbecile.

He won’t read it here but you can go to MSNBC’s website and give him some feedback. I did.
‘Punished for Reading’? Florida Student Says She Was Banned From Homecoming for Overdue Library Book

October 17, 2012 at 9:31am

In reply to dsang1.

It was probably in the school handbook and they didn’t read it so they didn’t know in advance. My son’s school handbook says “an overdue book will prevent a student from checking out any other materials. The student will not be allowed to participate in activities including sports and dances. All overdue, or lost materials must be returned or paid for.”

I really don’t think this is about an overreaching government, except for the fact that the student offered to return the book that day and the school refused to budge. That was excessive, and wrong. Having said that, however, rules are rules and they are there to ensure the students returned the books. If there were no consequences for not returning books, there would be a lot more books missing, which would cost the schools more money in trying to keep the library stocked for everybody else.

Pick your battles wisely. Not every rule or regulation is about a tyrannical government.

They won’t buy it, they’ll just take it through immigration. They’re mad because they think we stole it from them. I guess a legitimate purchase and a treaty doesn’t mean anything.

After all, the same people want the govt out of their bedrooms. Except when handing out free contraceptives, that is.

Unfortunately, I’m stuck here, at least for the next few years. And I hate it here. I write to my congress people frequently to complain but they don’t really care about me because I’m a true minority (white and conservative) and the only minorities they want to help are the ones who are actually in the majority. I’m not free to say who they are without being labeled racist.
