The UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland is set to begin this December. The main goal of the conference is to start negotiations for a new “climate change” agreement. With the Kyoto protocol set to expire in 2012 all of the “man made global warning” lunatics are working hard to get a new treaty signed before the current one expires.
In case you’re wondering, Bill Clinton signed the treaty, when it came up for a vote in the full Senate it was voted down 95-0. Besides for it being a job killer and hard on our economy, it let a bunch of heavy polluters like China and Russia off the hook, major double standard.
As a side bar to the conference the Guardian is reporting that:
Stephen Hockman QC is proposing a body similar to the International Court of Justice in
The Hague to be the supreme legal authority on issues regarding the environment.
The first role of the new body would be to enforce international agreements on
cutting greenhouse gas emissions set to be agreed next year.
But the court would also fine countries or companies that fail to protect endangered
species or degrade the natural environment and enforce the "right to a healthy environment.”

The USA is not a member of the International Court of Justice, for good reason I may add. There are those that seek to harm the USA and our interest, what’s to stop them from bringing fraudulent charges against us in front of this court? Apart from the fact that we should never submit ourselves to the whims of a bunch of international judges. We have our own judicial system, constitution and laws, thank you very much.
Now is a moment of truth for the Democratic Party and Obama in particular, Will you try to sign us up for any of these four agreements? These include Kyoto, International Court of Justice, the new Kyoto kind of agreement and if they get their wish an International Court of Justice for climate change etc.?
If Obama will sign such an agreement will the senate Democrats support it, knowing full well that most of the country doesn’t support any of these treaties and that they would do the US terrible damage, financially and military?
What will Obama and the Dems score on this set of tests?
P.S. the tide has begun to turn on this cult known as “man made global warming”.

Can you talk to people like this?
I won’t bore you with the details, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware that Muslim terrorists murdered around 300 people in Mumbai, India this past week.
The Chabad House/Nariman house was one of the original intentional targets. They killed Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, thank G-d their 2 year old son survived. This was a deliberate attack on a Jewish Center. This was a pogrom by Sick, Muslim terrorists.
So I ask the question: can we talk, engage in dialogue, cut deals, and negotiate with people like this?
Why do I ask?
There is a madman in the Middle East by the name of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who besides being a sick Anti Semite also fronts as the leader of Iran for a bunch of mullah’s led by Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamene. These mullahs are the ones who actually run the country. Now Iran is known as a state sponsor of terrorism, they give money to Syria, Hezbollah and Shiite terrorists in Iraq just to mention a few of their “clients” (more like sub contractors who carry out their dirty/wet work).
Let me elaborate a bit on each of these players.
Syria:
If Switzerland is a mecca for banks then Damascus serves as the headquarters for terrorist originations. In addition it’s a staging area for all the terrorists entering and leaving Iraq.
Syria is one of the conduits for money going from Iran to Hezbollah and other terror originations.
If you want more info you can check out the Council on Foreign Relations profile.
Hezbollah:
One of their first claims to fame was the bombing on the US barracks in Beirut. In the attack on the American barracks, the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers. Sixty Americans were injured.
You can read more about in on Wiki.
They are also the ones who are holding the whole county of Lebanon hostage to all of their fanatical terrorist ideas and actions. Like the shelling of civilians in Israel for two months straight or training and supporting suicide bombers. If you haven’t heard of these murders yet, you’re living under a rock.
You can check out a full profile of them here

The terrorists who perpetrated this massacre in Mumbai had a few objectives among them was to kill and maim as many people as possible. They targeted Jews, Americans British and all white people. One of their main goals was to sew fear in to the hearts of all peace loving people the world over.
For all of you fools who hold by the belief that they just hate George W Bush and his America but not the “peace loving America of Barak Obama” you’re in for a rude surprise. They hate you just as much. You cannot appease such people. They have one goal and that is the world in their vision.
Now we can either give in to them or fight them any which way we can even if it calls for water-boarding. If water-boarding could have prevented the carnage that happened would you support it Mr. Obama, or for that matter Mr. McCain?
There is only one way out of this mess and that is war. Take the fight to the enemy. If you have a weak stomach or a bleeding heart for these “poor souls” let them know how you feel when they come and try to kill you or one of your loved ones.
Right now we grieve, once the week is over the fighting must begin.
The Day We Lose Our Will To Fight Is The Day We Lose Our Freedom.
A side note. One way to avoid or lessen such an attack is the 2nd amendment, the right to bear and carry arms. I for one say that now more than ever, there is a pressing need for us all to carry concealed weapons and to have at home semi-automatic rifles.
Mr. Obama are you still running to sit down with these kids of people?

Our Thanksgiving Menu and More
Hey people, Thanksgiving is this Thursday! I wanted to share with you in the spirit of the holiday, the reason that we celebrate this great day, in this great land that G-D has seen wise to give us.
"For the Pilgrims, life was a constant battle for survival. Later, Governor William Bradford made a decision. Instead of the colonists sharing their crops equally, he assigned a parcel of land to each family and told them they could keep whatever they produced for themselves."
"Then what happened?" asked Sam.
"At last the Pilgrims began to prosper. Governor William Bradford wrote in his book 'Of Plimoth Plantation,' 'This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.' "
"Shoot! If you can keep everything you make, of course you're going to work harder. Everybody knows that."
Grandpa answered, "The first seed had been planted for the American Revolution. People were free to practice their religions as they saw fit and were free to keep the fruits of their labor. This had never happened before in the history of mankind. In the words of William Bradford, 'As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation."

Giving Thanks
And right here in New York as President, on October 3, 1789, George Washington made the following proclamation and created the first Thanksgiving Day designated by the national government of the United States of America:
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks, for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation, for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord. To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best”.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
Well there you have it folks, this country’s birth was a hard one but oh did it pay off. We are a capitalist democracy united under G-D. All of you people who keep trying to change our core are destined to fail. As for the rest of us, when we lose our will to keep fighting for the dream, we are cooked.

I am on a diet! So help me G-D
For a few weeks now I have changed a major component of my life. What I eat, how I eat, and when I eat. Let me tell you it isn’t easy.
To make a short story even shorter my diet is as follows:
No more Coke or Soda,
No more junk food,
No eating after 8:00 PM,
Very little fat,
Smaller portion sizes,
Cutting out almost all white flour and replacing it with either whole wheat or yellow flour,
Eating more fruits and veggies,
Drinking more,
Exercising more,
Having a healthy filling snack between each meal.
I am sure that I left out some of it. One very important component of any diet is either getting your spouse to go along with you or at the very least supporting you in any and all ways.
Something I am considering is eating my big meal of the day at lunch as opposed to at dinner. This way your body has more time to burn it off and when dinner rolls around you’re not that hungry and won’t have to eat too much.
Here are meal ideas for one day.
Breakfast: A fruit smoothie, this consists of a cup of frozen strawberries and a cup of soy or regular milk. This drink can keep you going for a good few hours.
Lunch: sandwich made of whole wheat (only one roll) with tuna, veggie meat, or grilled chicken. Add lettuce or any other veggies you like. (Disclaimer I am not big on fruits or veggies) with a pickle and some salad on the side.
Dinner: Orange soup, meat sauce, quinoa and a salad. Make sure you have a smallish portion of the meat and quinoa.
More ideas to follow.

Who Is Going to Pay this Bill?
Obama and most of the democrats support a piece of legislation called “Card check” the official title is “Employee Free Choice Act” under the proposed bill the NLRB would recognize the union's role as the official bargaining representative if a majority of employees have authorized that representation via card check, without requiring a secret ballot election.
What this means is that union thugs will have all the time in the world to coerce 51% of the employees of any given company to sign their union member card. Now is that Employee Free Choice?
If the dems believe that this sort of vote/signing of a card, not a secret ballot is adequate for employees wouldn’t you think this is how they should conduct business in the congress?
Well you figured wrong! As John Fund of the WSJ reports; This week's 137 to 122 vote of House Democrats to replace John Dingell with liberal Henry Waxman at the energy and commerce committee would likely not have happened but for the secret ballot. Even Rep. Louise Slaughter, chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, told Congressional Quarterly she was relieved the vote would be a private one: "It's a secret ballot. . . . Thank the Lord."
Who would have figured? Such a double standard! They are dems-what can you expect!
Here is a link to the full article:
Secret-Ballot Hypocrisies
More links on this issue:
Obama renews promise on NAFTA, 'card check'
‘Card check’ deals bad hand
Obama And Big Labor
Heritage Foundation
If this bill passes (and we have to take the dems at their word, they are going to try and pass it ASAP) we can kiss good bye a few million more jobs and a number of industries. Because that’s what unions do! They are job killers and industries, they ship jobs out of this country by making it to expensive on the corporations.
Union membership has been in decline. The dems are beholden to the unions. Therefore they support the bill. This is special interest groups applying pressure and ramming a bill down our throats, against the interest of their constituents’ and to the determent of our county. People-good old politics is at work! Nothing has or will CHANGE!
Stay tuned this is turning out to be a big fight in congress, we hope that the GOP will hold strong and unite against this bill. We have to make sure that every democrat who supports this bill and votes in favor pays a political price at home for all the damage it can and would do.

Obama This Great Country Ain’t a Turn Key Operation!
The whole world cheered when Obama won the election. They did so for a few reasons; firstly they were brainwashed so by the world media and because there is the notion that now America will be more diplomatic, more multi-lateral and more accepting of the rest of the world. Not like the current cowboy in the white house. The world expects Obama to be a better citizen of the world. Respect what the leaders of other countries say and want us to do.
I would like to elaborate on this a little bit. Under Clinton if say France wanted asked us to do something even if it was detrimental to us we would put our interest 2nd and do as they pleased. That is the price of being a citizen of the world in good standing.
Now if you’re like me and it made your stomach turn over every time Clinton gave in to the International community then President Bush was a blast of fresh air. Here was a president who put America first, such a novel idea.
Now if you’re someone who cares what others think and have to be liked by everyone regardless of the price you have to pay (then you need some help with your self esteem) even if they are say vermin then you hated it when Bush placed America first. In the process of putting America first Bush managed to tick of all of your and those people that dislike us. If you believe the media the whole world hates us (expect of course our true friends), and disliked us.
Under president Bush our standing went down in the world. So what if the people who don’t like us are third world dictators or countries that are making money from trading with our enemies (like France or Germany in the Oil for food program) they loathe us and therefore we most change that. No matter the cost to us.
So all of you folks who put this guy Obama in office hope you enjoy the next four years of us kowtowing to every loser the world over. As long as they love us and smile at us all the while sticking the knife in us or blowing up our buildings!
Obama has his first test. Closing down the terrorist detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The world is demanding that we close it down. Who cares that it’s been keeping terrorist murders of the street. It looks bad and we care about our image.
I wont go in to details but Thomas Joscelyn at www.weeklystandard.com lays it all out.
Clear and Present Danger

Close the door on China!
Enough is enough!
I consider my-self an open minded conservative who believes in open markets, supply side economics, and fair global trade. But I have had enough of China continuously pushing us in to a corner and either we fight now or deal with the consequence later.
If it were any other country violating us, economically, military, world policy-wise. We would not stand for it, and demand action.
Change the name China for say Iran or Venezuela, and we would demand sanctions immediately. Yet China gets away with it time and time again.
The time has come to nip them in the bud!
I propose that we give all USA companies doing business in China a years notice to find an alternative supplier, be it back here in the USA, Asia, India, or Latin America. A country that shares out interest and world view and isn’t trying to take us down any which way they can.
Once the year is up we cut all ties with China, unless they give us a number of concessions. A few of the top of my head are to let their currency float, stop all espionage activities and Internet warfare directed any every part of our government and our economy, open up their doors so that our products can compete on an equal footing with the local companies, and address the entire human rights issue including their business dealings with countries like Sudan.
If they don’t come to terms and abide by it we keep our doors closed.
Yes I know the ramifications.
For starters we will have higher inflation for some time. On the flip side once we get of the China-drug you will see a lot of jobs come here and jobs will go to our friends and allies not our enemies. Long term the prices will adjust.
Globally I believe that Europe and Japan will follow our lead and isolate China. The Chinese will be left with two options either come to the table and start acting like a responsible member of the world, or face isolation.
If they choose isolation it won’t be long before their government is replaced by a democracy that will respect its own citizens and the rest of the world.
I say lets get started.
PS This is definably a move that the democrats can get through congress. This will please the unions (I am not a fan of unions) and get the backing of all the average people who are sick of putting up with the Chinese, and all this inaction.
President Obama you can have your first major score, take it!
One that will be your legacy for years to come.
Here is a report by a bi-partisan committee:
China 'using cyberwarfare to challenge US power'

Globally I believe that Europe and Japan will follow our lead and isolate China. The Chinese will be left with two options either come to the table and start acting like a responsible member of the world, or face isolation.
If they choose isolation it won’t be long before their government is replaced by a democracy that will respect its own citizens and the rest of the world.
I say lets get started.
PS This is definably a move that the democrats can get through congress. This will please the unions (I am not a fan of unions) and get the backing of all the average people who are sick of putting up with the Chinese, and all this inaction.
President Obama you can have your first major score, take it!
One that will be your legacy for years to come.

Mitt Romney for CEO of GM!
Finely a written, thought provoking, solution oriented essay on the big three mess. I say give the man the keys to Detroit let him turn it all around with his experience and fresh ideas. I propose that they fire G Richard Wagoner Jr and replace him with Mitt Romney. Mitt lost out on the GOP nomination, So let him reign over GM and shape it up. You can bet he will do a lot more then Obama will the next 4 years.

Media Try and Help Fix the Election? You Bet!
Did you know that:
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress!
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes!
The real story is coming out, how slanted the media is, and what impact they had on the race. They framed the debate to help Obama and hurt McCain. They facilitated Obama and his $650,000,000,00.
This is just the beginning the Media’s sighed their own death sentence, cant come fast enough!
Here are some good links. They are making a documentary on the media’s malpractice.

The Media is Celebrating their Victory Eight Years in the Making
Howard Kurtz today has a great piece in which he lays how one sided the media has been.
A Giddy Sense of Boosterism
Let them party now. Their day of reckoning is coming. Their circulation and revenue is already down and will continue to slide until they write them self’s out of business AMEM

A Little Something for the GOP?
Fred Barnes has a good piece at:
A Little Something for the GOP?
As I have been saying how do you turn a recession in to a depression?
"Does anyone think this will work? It was tried by the president whom Obama seems to regard as his model, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Rather than jolt the country out of the Depression, FDR prolonged the economic slump right up to World War II. He advanced the interests of organized labor over those of business. Obama would do roughly the same through card check, a minimum wage increase, and protectionism."
All of you who sat this one out. The price we can all pay might be quite large.
I will write another time about card check, a minimum wage increase, and protectionism.

Israeli politics, Difference between a Bibi Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni?
Most observers of Israeli politics are quite cynical of all the parties and their leaders.
You can be certain that first and foremost they are in power for the money they can dole out and the jobs they can give to their cronies.
So what is the one and only major difference between Bibi Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni in my opinion? (Glad you asked.)
Tzipi Livni and her elk will sell the whole of Israel including half or more of Jerusalem at the discounted-whole-sale price or even offer it up for free.
Bibi Netanyahu and company will stall as long as possible before craving in to this self delusional pressure and only then will they start giving it away piece by piece at inflated prices (that means making the Arabs respect Israel and hold them to all of their old, and new agreements) and then give some of it away albeit as slowly as possible.
One can hope that if history is any indication the Arabs won’t hold up their part of the deal and it will all fall apart. The Arabs are only after the complete Annihilation of Israel their one state solution.
PS I don’t use the word Palestinian as there is no such nation. The whole notion of a Palestinian people is a fabricated story (more on this matter another day).

The UN Today, The great Anti Semitic Origination Which All The Liberals Hold Holy
To quote from Martin Luther King Junior:
"... You declare, my friend; that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist'. And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of G-d's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews -- this is G-d's own truth.
"Anti-Semitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agree-ment. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently anti-Semitic, and ever will be so.
Fast forward today at the UN you have the sick person Mahmoud Ahmadinejad coming to speak at the UN in NY to spew out his garbage.
YET THE LIBERALS WONT GIVE UP ON THE PLACE AND US THE USA TAX PAYER ARE STILL FOOTING A LOT OF THE BILL!
Matthias Küntzel at www.weeklystandard.com has a good piece on it:
Defining Jew-Hatred Down
There is an old saying if we don’t learn from history then its bound to repeat it’s self. We as Jews, are the people of the book meaning we study the book we study our history one should think that we would learn from recent history, yet a lot of the people who support this creature and the regime he is a poppet for are Jewish? Go figure!

Obama's community open to all ice cream parlor
I got this in an email a few days after the election.
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.
To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.
He ended by promising to do his very best. Every one applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."
She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a land slide.
Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other fifty percent know they're going to have to feed the cow.
With how the market and economy are going today, one wonders what all the people waiting for their ice cream are going to do when Obama can’t deliver.
Stocks plunge for third straight session
What he promised
(Side note he will probably scrub his site sooner rather then later.)
When one looks at everything he is offering to everyone one wonders just what flavor of ice cream he doesn't have?? As with everything else only time will tell!

Hamas: We met Obama advisers

Obama likely to escape campaign audit! Such a Sham!
How’s is this for poetic justice! McCain is going to be audited because he took the public funding.
Meanwhile Obama who opted out after promising he wouldn't should be! with all of those untraceable contributions he received. Guess what he wont be!
Why you ask?
Well he received so many contributions it would be a large tedious job that nobody at the FEC wants.
So how do we find out where all of the record $650,000,000,00 Obama raised to buy the election (if you count the free press from all the propaganda media its probably over a billion dollars).

President Obama to "rule" as President? You kidding Me?
The election was less then a week ago, yet one of Obama’s spokes people is telling us that he is getting ready to rule us from day one?
Will somebody please tell the man and his entourage we live in the USA! Here the president governs and is there at our request at our service, and never to RULE!!
It no wonder you are getting comments like these
Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship
Broun says Obama 'Marxist'
You are going to see and hear many more things like it. We shall see if he lives up to their expectations (g-d forbid).
Below is the video that News Busters brought to light

Awesome Chicken Recipe!
I made this recipe over the weekend. It is low in fat and you can't get enough of it.
I will call it Sweet, Hot, and spicy tempura chicken.
The best part about it is how simple and easy it was to make.
Step one.
Take your favorite chicken or anything like chicken and cut it in to cubes or strips (to a size that you like!).
Step two.
Marinate the cubes in eggs, corn starch, salt, and pepper and any other spice that you like for 30 minutes in a cool place.
Making the marinade:
You need about 1 egg per 1 1/2 lb of chicken and 1 Tbsp of corn starch and 1 Tbsp of water plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix the corn starch and cold water in a bowl then add the egg salt and pepper and any spice (you like to cook with). The amounts are not set in stone....
Step three.
Cover the chicken in corn starch; you can also use flour or even potato starch. Make sure the chicken gets a good coating. You can do this in a bowl or flat surface (I do this on the cutting board used to cut up the chicken or even the paper bag method where you put it all in a bag and mix it up well).
Step four.
Cooking the chicken can be done via deep frying, sautéing or how I did it via baking in the oven. It’s quite simple and fast. All you need is a baking sheet or anything flat that will hold them. Then you spray (with something like Pam) the bottom very well and once the chicken is on it, spray the top of the chicken as well. Place the chicken in the oven at 350 F for between 25 and 35 minutes depending on your oven.
Step five.
While the chicken is cooking take a skillet, place it on the fire on a low heat and add: honey, hot sauce, barbeque sauce, and any other spices you like I added to this fresh minced garlic. For 1.5 lbs. of chicken, use ½ cup of bbq sauce, 1 T of hot sauce, and 3 T honey, plus 2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes. Add spices to taste.
Step six.
Add chicken to sauce and serve hot. For added kick, add sliced chilies or hot peppers.
Eat in good health and enjoy! Come back for more recipes!

U.S. Carmakers going out of business or puting them selfs out of business?
Can somebody tell me why the Detroit big three don't wake up and smell the coffee?
Here is another question can someone tell me the last time GM turned a real profit?
Another question What do the Unions and Outscoring have in common?
Almost every major industry that has moved out of this country is a direct result of union greed! The union organizers convince their members that the owners are making lots of money and are greedy and let us go and take our fair share. So they go on strike get more money and eventually the company either goes out of business or moves of shore. Now are the losers in all of this? Well for starters the workers they are out of good paying job, they overreached and ended up with nada, next is the local town and state and the rest of the country because we just lost another industry to greed and opportunities by the union organiser and their democratic accomplices oh and the corporation are called greedy because they are trying to stay in business and not be a charity.
This brings me back to the big 3. Their United Auto Workers UAW obligations are enormous. Part of the $billion they are asking for is just for health care. So by giving the big 3 the money they ask we are bailing out the union and kicking this problem down the road.
I say lets fix the problem now. They want public money then they have to fix the problem. Either let the big three go bankrupt and eliminate the UAW or make them take drastic pay cuts and bring their wages and benefits in line with the market.
The union has already said no!
"Workers and retirees have already made significant sacrifices," said Reuther, paraphrasing remarks that Gettelfinger made to House SpeakerNancy Pelosi , D- Calif., and others in the meeting, including renegotiated contracts. "We feel we've already stepped up."
Auto Union Won't Make Concessions For Government Aid - Lobbyist
My heart bleeds for them. Maybe if they windup on the unemployment line they will know what real sacrifice is. Just to give you an idea. The average salary for a UAW member is:
According to Forbes:
Labor cost per hour, wages and benefits for hourly workers, 2006.
Ford: $70.51 ($141,020 per year)
GM: $73.26 ($146,520 per year)
Chrysler: $75.86 ($151,720 per year)
Toyota, Honda, Nissan (in U.S.): $48.00 ($96,000 per year)
According to AAUP and IES, the average annual compensation for a college professor in 2006 was $92,973 (average salary nationally of $73,207 + 27% benefits).
The WSJ has a good article on this
Yes, Detroit Can Be Fixed
either way this will be a big test for our new president elect. Let's hope that the UAW is ready to swallow some bitter medicine and get better.

Now it's our turn to hope for real "change"
There have been many good pieces written on the future of the conservative movement.
We that are the young people (and the rest of the party) can now hope that having swallowed a very bitter pill there will be a "change" for the better in our movement.
For the last 8 years (right after 911 being the exception) the Democratic party has shown how the minority party can be and are very relevant.
What the media won’t tell you is that for the last 8 years every single item that the Bush and the GOP wanted to pass unless they had 60 senators it never came to a vote on the floor. From Cabinet appointments (Obama did it in 05) Judges even the Ambassador to the UN (Josh Bolten) my point being that the democrats get as much credit and blame for the last 8 years.
Something the Democrats did very well was toe the party line. I mean how often do you see 10 senators agreeing on anything yet they voted as a block to abstract all of Bush agendas. While they worked and voted as one the GOP was slowly committing suicide with the help of its right but mostly the left with in its own party.
The GOP got fat and lazy never mind greedy. Gone or pushed to the side where the idealist, every time a member of the GOP was in trouble he was thrown over board and all it did was embolden the democrats. Haven't we read our own talking points that by giving in to the terrorist we are emboldening the enemy? That is exactly was happened in the Congress and the white house for that matter, we kept on throwing people over and guess what the country threw us over and elected to office the most liberal person ever.
We have to learn from history otherwise we are bound to repeat it and take our expensive lessons and move on to a brighter future one were we achieve our goals and can still look at our self's in the mirror. It is time for "the contract with America 2.0.
The next 4 years we should utilize the tricks a taught us by the democrats and make sure that noting gets by the senate that we don't approve of. We have to stand together as one to block anything that is not good for the county and is not part of our world view.
One major difference between us and the Dems is offer a clear alternative.
For 8 years the Dems stopped and hobbled bush and the GOP while not offering any alternatives and the only reason they are in office is because of our misdeeds not a great vision or any new ideas that they offered. We have to stop the liberal agenda and offer a clear alternative and fully explain our position in a united way.
We have to become the party of small government and fiscal responsibility again and stop the pork barrel for crying out loud.
We also have to be the party of the future, how you ask? Well the future is about new technologies, the rising powers of currently 3rd world countries (like China) and a world free of oil oh did I mention the unknown? The way to stay ahead is via education (I shall share with you my ideas on such at a later date) the GOP has to come up with a plan a backup plan and a double backup plan all with the goal of keeping the USA at the front of the world.
More to follow..

We have to learn from history otherwise we are bound to repeat it and take our expensive lessons and move on to a brighter future one were we achieve our goals and can still look at our self's in the mirror. It is time for "the contract with America 2.0.
The next 4 years we should utilize the tricks a taught us by the democrats and make sure that noting gets by the senate that we don't approve of. We have to stand together as one to block anything that is not good for the county and is not part of our world view.
One major difference between us and the Dems is offer a clear alternative.
For 8 years the Dems stopped and hobbled bush and the GOP while not offering any alternatives and the only reason they are in office is because of our misdeeds not a great vision or any new ideas that they offered. We have to stop the liberal agenda and offer a clear alternative and fully explain our position in a united way.
We have to become the party of small government and fiscal responsibility again and stop the pork barrel for crying out loud.
We also have to be the party of the future, how you ask? Well the future is about new technologies, the rising powers of currently 3rd world countries (like China) and a world free of oil oh did I mention the unknown? The way to stay ahead is via education (I shall share with you my ideas on such at a later date) the GOP has to come up with a plan a backup plan and a double backup plan all with the goal of keeping the USA at the front of the world.
More to follow..
