You made that perfectly obvious a while back.

Had thoughts such been applied there would never have been need of Unions.

By the time all us Hippies awake from slumbering these cool tech gadgets, yes, thanks in part to NASA and Defense, resistance will be futile.

You are just a dumbass to say something like that.

''Next time an Ohio politician tells you they support labor, or they are for jobs, ask them one question - have you been to Tsubaki?

Right now in Sandusky, workers from the U.S. Tsubaki plant are standing in the cold - locked out of the factory for over a year. A plant that some of them have worked in for 30 years or more.

We feel so passionately for the plight of these courageous and resilient people that we wanted to share their story with you: A portrait of the plight of the American Worker. The story of the Tsubaki workers is the story of far too many people in our great nation.

Please watch this beautiful and powerful video, share it and pledge your support of these workers at http://youtu.be/3pc1bSkt254

People who gave 20, 30 or some even 40 years to a company and a plant are standing on the sidewalk, worried about feeding their families, wondering if they will have any security in retirement. Tsubaki locked them out, ended contract talks and chained the door, not because these workers were asking for outrageous pay or benefit increases, but because what they really want is to break the union. And if they do, worker protections in this country will fall like dominoes.Understand what is happening at the Tsubaki plant, and what's at stake here, because your workplace could be next.

I'm going to do everything I can to support the Tsubaki workers and I want you to pledge your support to them as well.

Today, the NLRB ruled that Tsubaki had unfairly locked out its workers and demanded that the company come to the bargaining table. And the struggle continues. There are 16 lockouts in the United States that have not been resolved, this is one of them. It is urgent that we support the just cause of workers.

Helping these workers - and working people everywhere - is why I ran for Congress and why I want to stay in Congress. Knowing what's happening in Sandusky, and being part of it, should be the litmus test for people who say they are pro-labor.''

As we drift away from contemplating Jafo's love for religious based imperialism let's turn now to a completely different subject:

Has Jafo's new found love for the Federal Reserve and it's chairman Ben Bernanke now that he realizes it is really a creation of capitalism, well, how is that paying off in terms of capitalist meddling with the economy?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/ ... 6Y20120301

I think he will be back in Congress today but he seems concerned that America's 1% is so far in debt that even throwing buckets of money out of helicopters (as of course Milton and Jafo both support as good capitalist meddling with the economy without question) is keeping them from investing in America to help continue jobs growth!

Like Jafo, it seems Ben is actually unwilling to take a stand! Of course, unlike Jafo, Ben does not feel obligated to blather blah blah random capitalist ideology all over the place!

Jafo has no fears of his brain ever being shrunk. So what effects others has no bearing on the pea sized one he has.

I have some good friends who are Tea Party People. Restore The Republic (rtr.org) has a lot of sane ones. It was cool to see them bring to light that States can no longer spend money it does not have. But Ron Paul has stated that the TP got high jacked by its leaders.

I post this on rtr every now and then, ''I'm out to unite the Hippies with the TP (We both like Tea.), the TP with the Unions, and the Unions with Ron Paul.'' Except for a Jafo now and then, it gets positive responses.

Is this the first Bill every passed by DC for Healthcare? Believe it was. Also am quite sure John Adams understood the intent of The Constitution when he signed it. But I'll still look towards Vermont's Single Payer...even if its only a strong public option on State levels. Like all Mitt had to do in Massatack, was let people buy into Masshealth, which is a great HC Plan for the low income.

Well, the not to surprising Santorum wins in Alabama and Mississippi make me think of the words of the Reverend Josiah Strong:

It may be easily shown, and is of no small significance, that the two great ideas of which the Anglo-Saxon is the exponent are having a fuller development in the United States than in Great Britain. There the union of Church and State tends strongly to paralyze some of the members of the body of Christ. Here there is no such influence to destroy spiritual life and power. Here, also, has been evolved the form of government consistent with the largest possible civil liberty. Furthermore, it is significant that the marked characteristics of this race are being here emphasized most. Among the most striking features of the Anglo-Saxon is his money-making powera power of increasing importance in the widening commerce of the world's future. We have seen . . . that, although England is by far the richest nation of Europe, we have already outstripped her in the race after wealth, and we have only begun the development of our vast resources.

Again, another marked characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon is what may be called an instinct or genius for colonizing. His unequaled energy, his indomitable perseverance, and his personal independence, made him a pioneer. He excels all others in pushing his way into new countries. It was those in whom this tendency was strongest that came to America, and this inherited tendency has been further developed by the westward sweep of successive generations across the continent. So noticeable has this characteristic become that English visitors remark it. Charles Dickens once said that the typical American would hesitate to enter heaven unless assured that he could go farther west.

That Josiah Strong was just plum full of Anglo-Saxon Supremacy racism way back in 1891 or so. I god fearin' man who believed in Darwin only to the point of hearing survival of the fittest and applying that in a racial way.

I don't know why Santorum winning in Alabama and Mississippi made me think of that but I do like Muscle Shoals soul music and I have even been known to crank up a Hank Williams (Sr.) tune or two!
