• Largest in Company’s History: HP Prepares to Cut 27,000 Jobs

  May 24, 2012 at 2:17pm

  1. I am all for ethical capitalism but not crony capitalism.
  2. Obviously many (most?) of the people commenting do not work for HP.
  3. I suggest starting from the top down and get rid of the bloated management system currently in place.
  4. Many of the employees are grateful for the fact that (for now) they have a job but are tired of being treated like faceless peons – even by direct-contact management.
  5. It does not matter if you are good at your job – it only matters if you kiss a$$.
  6. HP does not invest in its people and it doesn’t invest in the future (R&D).
  7. HP will not actually use the money it saves for good but will squander it yet again.
  8. The jobs that may be saved will ultimately go overseas to Indian and China – just like they have been for years.
  9. HP is a dying company and needs to just let go already because it can never seem to realize that one must “adapt or die.”
  10. I am a Libertarian and I believe that HP needs to cut the fat but cutting the fat and not adapting to the real marketplace will only lead to HP’s demise.

• Neo-Nazis in Brooklyn? You Have to See The Photographs

  February 29, 2012 at 1:54pm

  There are “Neo-Nazi” factions everywhere unfortunately. They are just small-minded idiots who need to grow up. What comes as a surprise (sort of) is that these men are POLISH. Do they even realize that the Nazis considered the Poles (and other Eastern Europeans) as barely human? Why would you choose to associate with a group of bigots who would not even consider you really human? Why would you choose to associate with a group who exterminated many, many ethnic Poles?

  Just. Plain. Stupid.

• Blaze Exclusive: Katy Perry‘s Parents Respond to Media Allegations of ’Anti-Semitism’

  @Luke21
  This is not the proper place for a theological debate but I can tell you that Jesus fulfilled NONE of the Messianic Prophecies. Almost ALL of the supposed prophecies used to “prove” that he was the messiah are not actual messianic prophecies. The remainder are taken out of context, mistranslated, and misinterpreted.

  @HorseCrazy
  I am a Jew and if you have accepted Jesus as your “savior” then you are not longer Jewish. You no longer follow Torah and you have turned your back on G-d, Torah, and your people. I am not saying this to be cruel. I am simply telling you the truth. You are now a Christian.

  Yes, originally the people who followed Jesus were Jews and then gentiles who began following him. However, today’s “Messianic Judaism” has nothing to do with actual Judaism.

  I am not willing to jump on the bandwagon and say that they are anti-Semitic. However, the statement (“joke”) he made – regardless of the context – was anti-Semitic. His excuse that it was taken out of context is not any real excuse and changing the terminology from “Jew” to “Jewish” does not make it any better. In addition, the whole “I can’t be anti-Semitic because I have Jewish friends” does not hold water. That is no difference that saying “I can’t be anti-Black because I have Black friends.”

  Just as a sidebar – “Messianic Jews” are CHRISTIANS. That Christian sect has nothing to do with Judaism so no, that doesn’t count toward his involvement in Jewish affairs.

• Palestinians Respond to Gingrich‘s ’Invented’ Remark: ‘Most Racist Statement I’ve Ever Seen’

  December 10, 2011 at 6:58pm

  Really? Truth is always considered racist when it doesn’t fit into the leftist/radical point-of-view. Let’s look at the words of one of the members of the PLO.

  The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.

  For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.

• Fox Producer Confronts R.I. Gov. Over ‘Holiday Tree’: ‘Who Exactly Does a Christmas Tree Offend?’

  In reply to patriotj.

  @Ari – You need to remember that most people in the government and/or on the left are not use to actual questions from the media. Of course he was tap dancing around the question because he was shocked that a media person would actually dare question him.

  Yes, G-d help us all!

• Fox Producer Confronts R.I. Gov. Over ‘Holiday Tree’: ‘Who Exactly Does a Christmas Tree Offend?’

  December 8, 2011 at 3:39pm

  In 1870, President Grant signed a law making Christmas Day a federal holiday, a national day of celebration. It is a CHRISTMAS TREE and not a “Holiday Tree.” Should I call the chanukiah (Chanukah menorah) a “holiday candelabra?”

  LYNCH v. DONNELLY, 465 U.S. 668 (1984) (http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=465&invol=668)

  (c) Our history is pervaded by official acknowledgment of the role of religion in American life, and equally pervasive is evidence of accommodation of all faiths and all forms of religious expression and hostility toward none.

  “President Washington and his successors proclaimed Thanksgiving, with all its religious overtones, a day of national celebration and Congress made it a National Holiday more than a century ago. Ch. 167, 16 Stat. 168. That holiday has not lost its theme of expressing thanks for Divine aid any more than has Christmas lost its religious significance.

  Executive Orders and other official announcements of Presidents and of the Congress have proclaimed both Christmas and Thanksgiving National Holidays in religious terms.

  … display of the creche is no more an advancement or endorsement of religion than the Congressional and Executive recognition of the origins of the Holiday itself as “Christ’s Mass,” or the exhibition of literally hundreds of religious paintings in governmentally supported museums.”

• ‘Intimidation’: Atheists Demand That Texas Nativity Scene Be Torn Down Immediately

  December 8, 2011 at 3:14pm

  Where is that darn duct tape?! My head is going to explode. Excuse me but if you don’t like looking at a nativity scene then turn your head and look the other way. I as a non-Christian am NOT offended by nativity scenes or crosses or Christmas trees on anyone’s lawn – be it public (government) or private. I really wish that people like this group would stop thinking that they speak for me or anyone else. I am not a child who needs to be taken care of because I am a non-Christian.

  Listen, as a Jew I appreciate the fact that I live in a CHRISTIAN country. I celebrate the fact that I live in a CHRISTIAN country. I understand that at this time of year there are going to be nativity scenes all around the country and they do not offend me. If they offended me then I would look the other way and not act like a baby like this group is acting. I have seen some beautiful nativity scenes that were hand-carved and I can appreciate the beauty of the art even if I don’t agree with the message behind the nativity scene.

  Everyone has a right to believe or not believe in this great country. If you don‘t believe in any religion that is also your choice but stop trying to take away other people’s choices and rights. Also, stop treating those of us in the minority in this country as if we are children who cannot take care of ourselves!
