Democrat Staffer: "They're Just People"
Digital Journal ^ | 2/13/09 | Sherri Reese

On Friday the 13 of February 2009 both houses of the US Congress passed the largest spending bill in the history of our nation. The final amount of the bill is reported to be $787 Billion.

Congressional staffers have been inundated with calls, emails, and faxes by Americans responding to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill. The voters contacting Washington, DC have voiced clearly that they are against this bill for the past two weeks.

Congressman Dr Broun of Georgia left Washington, DC Friday evening and caught a flight home. Once he landed at the Atlanta airport, the Congressman called into the Dontgo Movement radio program on the Heading Right Station of Blog Talk Radio. During his conversation with host Willie Lawson Congressman Broun shared a conversation he had with a lobbyist in his office earlier that day.....

Hate to say it, but if "people" don't start holding these (in contrast to mere lowly people) little gods accountable... why should they respect or fear "the people"?

Also, if they are assured of relection through use of thousands of ghost-votes via ACORN... why should they respect or fear "the people"?

I also have been reminded of a lot of scriptural sayings lately. You shall reap what you have sown...is one of them.

These destructive democrat socialists think they are on top of the world, but disaster is right around the corner. They have done too much too soon. They used to do things incrementally, so as to not make it so obvious what their socialist goals are.

Now, Fuhrer Obama and his minions are going for it all as fast as possible. I think they will cause such obvious great harm that even a lot of their former ardent supporters will turn against them.

Staffers no, but even congress critters don’t get secret service. They do have PSD’s though. Some flea’s and some contract with same authority.

They can’t protect em from lack of my vote and dollars, suppert etc ...... or the fact I keep these wordy little gems to share with their constituents during their re-election process.

May not be much but it’s what I do ...............for now.

"Maybe if some states start to secede, they wont care either."

My family would pack up and move to such a state tomorrow. My wife and I were discussing this very thing a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact. I'm afraid our country is finished. This Porkulus bill is one of the final nails in the coffin...

Historically elitists with that attitude and their sycophants never “get it” until the hangman cinches the knot up to the side of their neck, then they suddenly see clearly.

Maybe they are all much luckier than elitist snobs of the past, and “society” is much more civilized and won’t do it to them. I wonder, do they feel lucky?

I wish I could agree, but I believe the strong delusion has been sent. The LORD is stripping away all the things that people put their hope in - their jobs, their money, their party, etc. This, so that the last ones who are yet to come into the Kingdom will wake up and realize there is only One Who represents eternal hope and change.

Last call....

This reminds me of Marie Antoinette’s simple comment in 1789 to the idea of soaring bread prices and starvation looming: “If They have no bread, let them eat cake.”

Democrat Staffer: "They're Just People"What we fail to understand is that the political elites are so arrogant, they believe themselves to be intellectually superior to those of us not elected to political office.

Since 1948, the Rydeski family has been making quality products from peanuts to pork rinds. Dedicated to producing the freshest product, at the best price while maintaining superior customer relations, has always been our goal.

Roman Rydeski brought the two year old company back to life after purchasing it from Bob Kemp. The company was moved from Oshkosh, WI. to a location on 53rd street in West Allis, WI. where production of pickled pork hocks and pigs feet began with Roman as the sole employee. In true family business fashion, Roman’s wife Clara, their oldest son Jerry and Clara’s sister helped out whenever necessary.

Competing with huge multi-national firms was the last thing Roman had on his mind when he purchased the company.

Raised on a farm in Michigan, Roman was an entrepreneur from the onset. After receiving a business degree in 1930 from Marquette University in Milwaukee and a teaching degree from Illinois Normal, Roman moved back to Michigan to pursue his teaching career. Several years later Roman and his new wife Clara moved to Milwaukee where Roman held several jobs for the government.

It was during this golden era the introduction of “Porkies” evolved.

During the early 1950’s, Roman began the manufacturing of pork rinds or “PORKIES”, as they are known today. Pork rinds are hog underbellies cut into strips the size of a postage stamp. They fluff up by cooking in 395-degree oil for 55 seconds. Originally, a horse trough was used to simmer the diced pellets overnight. The next day the pellets would be removed from the trough, allowed to drain, then submersed into a deep potbelly fryer where they would take on their light airy appearance. This technique allowed for only a handful of pellets to be cooked at a time. Seasoning and packaging was all done by hand and amounted to 1200 packages a day!

On the advice of a friend, Roman in 1953, moved the Porkie Company into a new location on Juneau Avenue in downtown Milwaukee. The move proved to be a valuable lesson for Roman where he gained knowledge and experience from Robert Ohir who owned and operated R.L. Ohir’s food products, the building that Roman moved into. While working with Mr. Ohir Roman learned the secrets of pickling sausage, herring olives and other fine delicacies. As the business began to grow, Roman’s son Gerald convinced his father that a new location (building) was needed for future growth and transportation accessibility.

The current site in Cudahy, Wisconsin was chosen and Roman purchased the building in 1958.
