When we last left the negotiations between Chryslers senior bondholders and Barack Obamas auto task force, Thomas Lauria and his clients alleged that the government used intimidation tactics and threatened to sic the White House press corps on individuals if they didnt give up their rights to allow the unions to win in the bankruptcy. Congress took an interest in thismadman theory of the Presidency and got access to some e-mails floating between the task force and an analyst. Rep, Steven LaTourette (R-OH) reads from the e-mails, in which the auto task force calls Lauria their attorney a terrorist and refuses to negotiate after a Chrylser expert consulted him:
Ms Underestimated writes: The important part comes at the end: an email exchange between Matthew Feldman, attorney on the Presidents Auto Task Force, and Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert. Manzo is basically pleading to further negotiate to prevent bankruptcy, but Feldman is having none of it. Here is the exchange: Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert: I hope you think its worth giving this one more shot. Matthew Feldman, attorney on the Presidents Auto Task Force: Im now not talking to you. You went where you shouldnt. Manzo: Sorry. I didnt mean to say the wrong thing and I obviously did. I was trying oto make sure that if we had to contribute to the solution you knew we had some room. Sorry I did not realize the mistake!! Feldman: Its over. The President doesnt negotiate second rounds. Weve given and lent billions of dollars so your team could manage this properly
.And now youre telling me to bend over to a terrorist like Lauria? Thats B.S.

“Under the present regime, our votes wont count. So I ask you, what do you suggest we do?”
Make ‘em count. We don’t leave it up to ACORN and assorted other Leftist organizations to intimidate us, and take our Freedoms from us to place in their currently favored minority pockets.
Remember this: The Left is a minority, a vocal minority is what they are. Quite effective really as most folks aren’t into standing on top of dining tables filled with an abundance of labor and love and screaming “look at me”, “look at me” as any Leftist will do until they are rewarded with capitulation by the shocked, amazed, and hungry majority whom don’t realize capitulating to the grandstanding, babbling Leftist idiot sets a precedent.
Yes I do analogize perhaps too much, but that’s my way.
We must retaliate against the screaming tantrums of the Leftist mentalists by quietly reaching out to each other of the adult majority, grabbing each others hands, and thus deny them progress.
Really the major weak link in such a hand holding chain today is the inside enemy known as RINO’s.
Ditto!
Hopefully, consrvatives, who were often silent about this danger from 2001 to 2009, will finally recognize the dangers of empowering the federal government to engage in “ideological profiling.”
No, because they have to stick their nose into everything and control everything and everyone they can.
True. But, we can't just win Washington. We need to win the states and the states need to threaten to pull out of the Union to preserve freedom. What good is holding POTUS when the state governments are crawling with Leftists? States are the breeding ground for the radicals who dominate Federal civil service. Capture the STATES and then set new groundwork for Washington. By the way... the Left is doing this and we are only ONE stinking vote away from a constitutional convention that would, under current circumstances, destroy our freedoms forever. If you have ever fantasized about being a great hero and putting it all on the line for a great cause... THIS IS IT. Capture the STATES in 2010 and then we can use the power of the states to destroy these bastards once and for all.
Like out GPS Census data.
THIS, my friend, is a problem we CAN deal with at the local level and Nationally.
Fighting back under a leftist regime might be dangerous. Remember Reno’s jack-booted thugs and their abduction of Elian Golzalez? Remember their destruction of the entire group of Branch Davidians? I’m thinking their fascism is going to be much, MUCH more radical and agressive now, under this Muslim Marxist usurper, against those of us that dissent.
Remember, leftists don’t play fair. Fairness isn’t even in their vocabulary. And they can’t take it when we play by their rules.
Again, we wait and wait and wait and pretty soon....
we’re completely cooked.
We need to never forget that it was Bush who created the Department of Homeland Security which has now turned ideological profiling against us.
No, fall back to Texas so we have a firm supermajority. Then secede and watch the Federal ship sink.
We can advance out of Texas later after we’re sure that the masses in what’s left of the US have learned their lesson.
But... if the Federal government wants to use military force to shut down a church again... well, they had better look who's pointing what where just behind them this time. There are 200 million of us who won't tolerate Federal force in our states again. We can beat the "Branch Dividian" army with hammers if we have to...We outnumber them.
We discussed the danger on FR at the time it was created.
What an asinine comment. Probably the most asinine one I've read here at FR.
Bush isn't the one that's leading a communist takeover of this country. That would be Obama. We lived under Bush's DHS for the past 5 years and managed quite well. We haven't had another domestic attack yet. But with Obama at the helm, cuttimg funds for inspection of cargo at ports for nuclear materials, it's a probability that we'll have a nuke attack now. As for profiling, it's the leftist DemocRATS that are responsible for this "reverse profiling", just AS they are responsible for the anti-whitey/reverse discrimination that's been going on in this country now for YEARS.
Yeah, the leftist Dems will profile each and every one of us as terrorists, while they allow the real terrorists to waltze across the border, invade our cities, ship WMDs into our ports and even vote in our elections.
so what’s worse, being called a terrorist or a homophobe?
or, mould... sheesh. Spelling is important. Spelling is important...
Only "asinine" to those who only seem to value civil liberties and fear an overly powerful executive when Democrats are in power. Some of us never trusted George "TARP" Bush who, prior to Obama, was a cheerleader for big government and cared little about such ancient rights as habeaus corpus and the respecting the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. Some of us aren't "selective" in our defense of liberty.
Just because someone's deviant behavior disgusts me, doesn't mean I'm afraid of them. This phobe thing only works with an uneducated population.
