Juszkiewicz was House Speaker John Boehner’s guest at Obama’s speech before a joint session of Congress on Thursday night, in which he unveiled a $447 billion plan to jumpstart the weak economy.

The chief executive of Gibson Guitar Corp., which has been the target of two federal raids in the past two years over the exotic wood it uses to make the instruments, said Thursday he wants Obama to show some concern for the nation’s job creators.

Because of Cronie Capitalism this CEO has been raided 2 times by the Feds because of foreign law on imported woods. The foreign countries did not object, but the Holder Justice Department (talk about Orwellian double speak) did.

FUBO! FUEH!

Guess Im the odd one out as I am just not seeing why the feds think this “exotic wood” is such a danger to the U.S. Are they afraid of importing some lethal T-virus that will turn us all into the Walking Dead or what?

The real danger is that it is being used by a non-union company, headed by a CEO who hasn’t paid proper tribute to the Inner Party.

As for why Gibson doesn’t just use American-grown wood, in this case the wood in question does not grow in the U.S.

Remember the first raid in 2009. There have been no charges filed to date and Gibson has had to sue the government to have their property returned from that raid.
Don’t think this doesn’t send a message to other businesses. ‘You don’t have to be a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows.’

“Gibson CEO to Obama: Show Some Concern for Nation’s Job Creators”

He did. He is a liberal leftist and believes everything comes from government - why don’t these people understand this simple concept.

HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.

No, the Feds are punishing a Guitar Manufacturer who supports Republicans and runs a non-union business in a right-to-work state.

Obozo always protects unions, cronie capitalits and other criminals.

This is what all Commies do. Reward their friends and punish their enemies. Ignore the Rule of Law. Seek to destroy all human will to resist and any semblance of freedom.

Nope he does not. He is like all Commie thieves. They create nothing, only destroy. They all lie, steal, subject the human will and seek to enslave all free men.

I hate the term “crony capitalism”. Just another populist load of crap going around. Gibson has been raided apparently because of liberal environmentalist nonsense and its not clear it was solely because the CEO is a conservative but I don’t rule that out either.

I could understand that. A more appropriate term would be Fascists. Taking care of their supporters like all Commies do is not capitalism. Unfortunately some very large corporations are no longer capitalist. ie. GE They have been supporting these enemies of all free men for a long time. Long before Obozo came on the scene. And, at one point GE was a very fine company. There was a time that GM was also.

We differ here also. Econuts are useful idiots. The Commies only have them around for a short time. This is about punishing non-union labor and a non-union company in a right-to-work state. Just like what they are doing with the NLRB and Boeing.

The Left Creates nothing. Never has and never will.

God created order out of chaos, the left only brings destruction and chaos. It will ever be so.

Okay, the light just went on. No wonder they are in so tight with the Islamists.

Birds of a feather, and all that.

Yep, there is an unholy alliance that is being formed between the Commies and the Muzzies. Neither can gain power without lies and deception, neither can maintain power without subjection, neither can allow independent human action, neither build anything good only destroy and both have a history of murder, genocide and extreme brutality when faced with opposition. Darkness vs Light. Has always been so.

Both groups hate the Jews. Both groups would be happy to exterminate the Jews (some won't admit it, some say so openly).

The last chapter in "The Book" describes who wins this battle. It is not the forces of darkness that we discuss.

It is clear to me what side I am on. And it is with Israel. We are at a major point of decision in the U.S. We either regain our historic attachment to those in the world who value freedom and return to honest government to our Republic, or we will end like the Roman empire.

Or, he is being raided because he “neglected” to contribute to obama’s election campaign fund.
