Hear Hear! As I’ve posted on another thread no republican governor of a state won by Obama is calling for secession, because it’s foolish! If you believe, I mean truly believe conservative principles, standards and practices are best for the country, you state your case and fight. You don’t cut and run!

But, at some point, you have to concede that the fight is lost and take the proper course of action.

It no longer makes any economic sense for a restaurant to hire full time employees.

"Economic sense" is as alien to the communist rejects as the Ten Commandments.

All they know is the government model: success is nothing but a function of receiving funding/subsidies/grants/handouts from the ever-bearing government money tree.

The perverse concept of divorcing market forces from the market is sown early and often, as it is planted in the kiddies' minds all throughout the government school experience. For example: the schools suck the taxpayers dry while perpetuating and promoting the "need" for endless fundraisers. Never is there any thought given to how the schools are p!ssing away the liquid nourishment they already receive, oh no... the taxoholics *always* need more money. The townsfolk and pols (if there are any responsible pols remaining) who demand accountability and fiscal restraint are perceived as stingy, greedy child-haters.

The result is that higher taxes = good, so the higher they go the more "success" for everyone all around. Reality is a fundamental truth that is not only unwelcome, it must be destroyed. Applebee's is excoriated for considering a rational market decision because the offended and outraged have no clue or care about that which dares to exist outside the government model.

The World of Sheker (falsehood) is determined to stamp out the competition.

And here we are, staring down the beast we know as the Obama nation of desolation.

Every business should fire anyone who voted for Obama and replace them conservatives. If you voted for Obama you voted for the welfare system so stop working and go enjoy it. When China finally says no more credit the money won’t be there to back up those government checks and then they will be out of work and no government cheese to eat. What most of these lazy Americans don’t realize that now Santa Claus is Chinese and that nearly half of every penny they get comes from borrowing from China.

Liberals are totally ignorant of reality.

i doubt that any boycott will work. Liberals either on food stamps
The hoity-toity liberal rarely eat at an Applebee’s type of restaurant.
It’s too American for them.

Go ahead Liberal idiots, spout off your mouths do your weakling boycott but you’ll have no say.
The market is determined by conservatives

This was the odd piece to make ObamaCare work. You had to put in specified hours. If they had put 36 hours, then employers would have cut everyone to 35 hour weeks. If they had said 20 hours, then employers would have cut everyone to 19 hour weeks.

By 2014, we will have to devise an entirely new way to view employment and unemployment. If you have a job and it works only thirty hours a week....then you are under-employed.

This all brings me to the concept of too many cooks in the kitchen and brewing up a perfect batch of soup that can’t be perfect in nature.

You forgot the most important item - all at zero cost to the store owner.

Exactly what I told the nurses I used to work with when they voted for zero 4 years ago. “You just killed the goose.”

I see no Republican Governors fighting the vote fraud, no Senators either. Only Allen West tried to make a stand.

It will be 10x worse next time.

Ha Ha. It was actually the easiest part of the garden. I found a website that said put the spud in a bag with Miracle grow and stand back. The bugs did ‘em in toward the end but I am still lurning.

Years ago, I sold my goods at street fairs. When I presented the bill to the customer, I would always state the exact amount of tax as “the governments’ cut”.

People would smile or laugh, back then.
