"Every single thing 0bama has done has hurt the economy. I dont think that is an accident I think it is Cloward-Piven Strategy."
You are probably correct, but don't discount the revenge factor - Montana sticking a finger in the eye of the Feds with its home-grown weapons law.

Chilling. The message was there during the campaign. Tragically, few who voted for this man paid attention.

I had no idea it was an actual written plan by whacko professors. Any evidence that Obama was taught by these loons? I believe we are seeing its implementation by Obama too.

Montana has become full of enough liberal transplants to make it a state of left-wingers. They are getting what they deserve.
Give the people what they want and give it to them HARD!

When they shut down the copper smelter in Anaconda in 1982 and shipped the whole thing to China nobody in the GOP complained or blamed it on Reagan. Lost 8000 jobs and devastated the little town of Anaconda back then. If palladium and platinum prices stay high the mine will operate.

One guess as to who’s been moving there in droves lately.

Seriously, Governor. Did you really think becoming/remaining a Democrat that your increasingly off-the-charts-left-wing-party wouldn’t eventually rip off the people of your great state?
You can’t have it both ways

It’s crap like this that just sets the stage for Sarah. She couldn’t ask for a better scenario in 2012 than energy shortages, and now mineral shortages. Those are her strong points, and Americans know it, and will crave leadership on those issues.

When will the country realize it is the democrats policies that are hurting this country and will be getting our young adults killed to meet their agenda.
So we will continue to go to war for oil on foreign soil because we can’t drill here.
We will go to unfriendly Russia and unstable Africa to mine for precious metals to meet the ‘green agenda.’

Zero visits Russia and Africa and now this. Coincidence? I think not!
Would be interesting to find out if Stillwater is union or not. That might be where the answer really lies!

MT couldn’t quite bring itself to vote or Obama, but it otherwise votes in Obama backers for other offices. Same with the Dakotas
To: Chet 99
The 2 senators are moonbats, but the Governor of Montana is one of the best (either party) in the nation on 2nd amendment rights. He dared the Obama administration to stop their sweeping run rights. This mining thing could be payback.
To: Bushbacker1
Given the article contains no statement from a union rep, I would assume they are not union. Those union guys never miss an opportunity to display their high dudgeon. And reporters never miss giving them that opportunity. They’re “the people’s” representatives!

MT has been voting Democrat for senator in almost every election since statehood — Conrad Burns was a bizarre exception, and he didn’t wear well with MT people wanting subsidies.

Con’t blame Reagan. They also closed the Magma copper operation in Arizona, which was then the most modern operation in the USA. Other mines reduced operations or went out of business. You couldn’t make a dime on the price of copper as it was then.

Hey Montana, Look to your East. Soon you will be doing as well as we are here in Michigan. Keep electing those Democrats. It’s working out great for us.

What we need to do is pass laws that limit the policies - whether D or R. We, the people, have allowed (trusted) Congress to run our country responsibly. They have totally failed in this trust. So we, the people, need to act by pressing to have laws such as those listed at http://pushbackuntil.com incorporated into law. No entity can continue to exist if it does not abide by well-thought-out policies and procedures. This is how Congress runs - no control, inept, incompetent, and essentially lawless. Why is it they can spend, spend, spend us into debt like they are all drunk and/or drugged? That has to stop.
