If subsidies are cut, then DOUBLE the wage cuts.

The SEIU and ACORN are affiliated groups. Glen Beck has been publicizing this unholy alliance. This corrupt duo and the BO administration’s patronage to them stinks to high heaven.

The lunatics now run the asylum.

They have been running it for a long time. And the sheeple keep electing them. So who are the real lunatics?

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

California - Are you a freeand independent state? Or are you a puppet territory of the federal Government?

This is rhetorical correct?

This is SO illegal I'm not sure it's true.

Just turn your eyes then.

Early every year the seeds are growing
Unseen, unheard they lie beneath the ground
Would you know before their leaves are showing
That with weeds all your garden will abound?

If you close your eyes, stop your ears
Shut your mouth then how can you know?
For seeds you cannot hear may not be there
Seeds you cannot see may never grow

In January you've still got the choice
You can cut the weeds before they start to bud
If you leave them to grow high they'll silence your voice
And in December you may pay with your blood

So close your eyes, stop your ears,
Shut your mouth and take it slow
Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear
And later you can say you didn't know


Every day another vulture takes flight
There's another danger born every morning
In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn to bite
How can you fight if you can't recognise a warning?

Today you may earn a living wage
Tomorrow you may be on the dole
Though there's millions going hungry you needn't disengage
For it's them, not you, that's fallen in the hole

It's alright for you if you run with the pack
It's alright if you agree with all they do
If fascism is slowly climbing back
It's not here yet so what's it got to do with you?

The weeds are all around us and they're growing
It'll soon be too late for the knife
If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing
You may pay for your silence with your life

So close your eyes, stop your ears,
Shut your mouth and never dare
And if it happens here they'll never come for you
Because they'll know you really didn't care
A warning from a liberal (Peggy Seeger). Heed it if you will, but based on past history I'll bet you won't.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

The Obama administration is threatening to rescind billions of dollars in federal stimulus money if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers do not restore wage cuts to unionized home healthcare workers


It’s heartening to see Obama truly concerned about wages of the working class. This threat is proof of his concern. California needs to immediately increase the wages of all union workers in the state. /s
