It seems every day now, I am listening to the voices of so many I know who still hold tight to their dignity while not having the dignity of a job. It doesn’t matter the lies the Democrats and the Obama Administration can tell me, the day in and day out devastation of those I know, both mental and physical, from which their voices I can hear clearly the reality of this economic damage, and the fears and the actual suffering of good families and decent people is becoming unnervingly difficult to bare, and I know without a doubt that the real measure of the economic situation is much worse than the lies they tell us both from Obama’s friends in the media, the toadies of the current failed regime, and from the very politicians who are mostly to blame for this.
Though a conscious conservative, I held back from saying what I am about to say, but no longer. And it is not my politics, nor my conservative biases which would account for the truth in what I must say. It is from the voices of those who are baring such a greater burden of fear and shambles of which I am yet know but feel is very close now. It is from those voices, that I can say without reservation that Obama and these Democrats who are now supposedly managing the affairs of America, that they are without question the greatest disaster I have ever witnessed in my lifetime which is now past my best years.
Today, I have concluded what is becoming obvious to everyone – that Obama sickens me, and pretty much all of the Democrats need to be taken from power without question. It doesn’t matter how much I respect the office of the President, nor anything of the sort – and I am really not sure if things will turn around much soon after, because I am afraid that some of the damage is now long term.
I believe my estimates are correct, that at this juncture I would measure that over 50% have been out of work for more than six months and for many longer, more than a quarter now more than a year. Again, I know many around me in this situation, it is more than one can endure as they and their friends gather around them and try everything to hold up their strength – “you can be strong”, “hang in there”, “just a little longer”, “we are there for you”, “you are good people”, “you are valued”, “God is going to help”.
Let me say this – it is everywhere and education is no shelter. My honest assessment is that probably 30% of the good people who are unemployed have bachelors or higher degrees – their story is not pretty. But for those who are 50 years old or older, the reality of what is happening to them is brutal.
I save no blessings for the Corporations, either. It is becoming clear, they have those who are among their leaders who want to live in this nation, for all it’s blessings, to be protected by our police officers who are paid through the taxation of Americans, who want to go to our libraries and their children to our universities which are the blessings and gift of the American people and their values and their wealth however meager it may seem, which is just another way of saying the years and months and days of work in their lives as Americans, of which life is a beautiful thing and makes one always realize that life is too short, and who live with these same "leaders" of the Corporate world who want to live under the blessings of these American people but yet apart from them, Americans who because of their values and the blood giving in wars of their loved ones, we all have something called a Democracy --- these same “leaders” who want to live here among all these blessings which have come about because of the American people, and then they want locate their business and hire "workers" from some other land to simply use cheap labor, and who call themselves “global”, and really all they are is the modern version of the British East India Company.
There is nothing really respectible about such "leaders" of "indusry" if you really think about it. And I think perhaps it is time that they have their American business licenses taken from them, and that they take their families and move to that other country, and request a business license from that other nation, and live under the laws of that other place, and send their children to those other schools of that far away place, and be protected by the military and live under the government of that other nation. It is time perhaps for them to leave. Nothing should be taken from them. Let them take their cars, and their clothes, and everything with them including everything of value with them. Nothing is to be taken from them. But perhaps they should now be asked to leave and to live their global lives.
It is like a war in some ways. Either these Corporations now stand up as Americans, and stand with Americans, or they are not to be considered American at all. They can decide at this time, but I can predict that in this matter, in this time, the consequences of their decision will have very long term import for themselves and history will soon write the story of it.
We are told that many of these lost jobs are never to return to America again. Of course, that is incorrect. That is only true if we do not politely ask those others who do not want to be Americans anymore to leave.
As for the politicians now in charge, we do not need to be polite at all. We still have the ballot box, for now. They must all go. All of them.
It is not a matter of the size of the problem. It is a matter of the size of steadfastness and our fearlessness. I can say, I see a lot of fear, and we all understand. But you all have a right to be angry, and there is nothing wrong with a zeal for justice and fearlessness in your efforts to hold with your families and your neighbors and your country, and a willingness to say the truth. When a stranger comes into your house, to take from you, you have every right to be angry. But you do not let your anger trip up your resolve to take the appropriate action, nor let anger have you trip over your own feet as you confront the intruder. So now these intruders must go. They certainly must not rule over our lives anymore, because they have failed us. November seems too far away. But that will only be the first month. Of many more to come.

In the offing are 3 massive initiatives that will require folks of varying skills and technical capacities. Have a look at USAJOBS.gov. Search out some contacts. Look through some of the Federal Computer News and military specialty news sites. You might just spot something.
Create a profile on LinkedIN. Meet back up & get connected. It’s safer than Facebook.
You are in this country at this time with your experience for a REASON.
Be encouraged.
So you’re putting Ford and GM in the same bucket. What about your local merchants? What about FR? It’s a corporation too. Are all the tech, med, import/export, farming, and textile corporations part of the contingency that’s destroying the Country?
Again, no mention of the unionized labor that strong arms the economy.
Are you a Socialist?
No.
Are you a corporatist?
