I am willing to bet that within two years the VAST majority of us "small business owners" will not be owners anymore. This "MAN?" will see to it that all or most trucker will have to be "Teamsters" We will be forced to join or go out of business. Don't even try to tell me that they can't, they will. They have the votes with NO chance of veto. Go ahead and laugh at me. They do not like our kind of people, too independent. Layoutshooter

I am just curious, where did you read that all or most truck driver's will be forced into the "Teamsters".

I spent 20 years of my life studying and analyzing Marxism. Based on those studies I came to the conclusion my self. I was FORCED to either join a union or pay union dues without the right to vote when I worked for the DCNR in PA. I was with the State Park system at Morain State Park, near Butler. It was bad back then with secret ballots I can not even fathom how bad it will be when these "people" pass the OPEN BALLOT law that they said that they will. By the way, that same union I was in back then agreed to allow state prisioners do OUR jobs over the winter and agreed to allow layoffs of state employees during that time. This is what was just elected. Layoutshooter

Of course it's an assumption. That's ALL it is


Does it even have 1% chance of occuring ? NOPE


Union % growth in the next 8 years = ZERO

Nope, that is how it has happened all over Eastern Europe, China, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Cuba and a large part of South and Central American. 20 years of what was called "Target Studies" taught me a lot. Interviewing and working with many people who escaped the same scurge there taught me a lot. Remember the Berlin Wall was not built by us or by the Soviets to keep us out. It was built by the Soviets to keep thier own "slaves" in. What I say about the unions was only one of the methods used to control the masses. Obama is a Marxist. Layoutshooter

This is not a country that can,in any fashion, be compared to the above ones you listed. No fear mongering needed. Doom n Gloom not accepted nor appropriate.

The Marxist "label" is done....it's over. There's not much chance the Repubs will be continuing using that false term much longer. It held no water.....as the holes in the accusation carried with it,no substance.

Think what you like, I am NOT a Republican, they suck. I believe in capitolism. I will NEVER change my mind. Poland did not think it would happen there. It did. I never got to meet my great uncle, Andre Skupian, a Polish poet who wrote about his mountains and freedom. The Soviets hated him. They would not allow him to visit my grand-mother, his sister or our family in the States. They did not want him to talk to the outside world about what happened there. My grand-mother translated his letters so I would know. There is only one way to shut me up and the Marxists will. Layoutshooter

And there is a huge difference between an "assumtion" and as assestment based on history. History shows us what happened. I see little difference between what is happening here and what happened then. Same stuff, different week. Layoutshooter

With a population of nearly 3 million. I'm really doubting you're EVER gonna make the "shut the man up" list.

These ficticious Marxist you keep referring to ? Maybe in your dreams, you possibly may be chased down and beaten with a garden hose.
Once you wake up........the family dog's licking your face and it's time to go get the morning paper. Eat a bowl of cereal and head off to the job. No need to be looking over your shoulder trying to find that "ficticious" Marxist

I'm still numb. What ppl don't realize, or care, is that the ppl with money are the ones who provide jobs... not government. When Obama promises he will create jobs, it's not because he'll be nice to the job creators. He means he'll create more bureaucracy. Obama won tonight because he promised things that cannot happen without tearing up our Constitution. I miss our country already. :(

I don't think the Teamsters scenario will happen. However, I believe Obama, along with Democrats, will continue to be foes of those who create jobs, and force businesses to fail. That, in turn, will lessen available freight. It was a good ride while it lasted. Maybe I'll make a comeback after the coming depression. Traditionally, that is how they happen. No reason to doubt it this time around.

And it is 350 million, 80 million of which are gun owners and if they bought one since 1968 they know who you are, what you have and where you live. Even your ID # SSN. Remeber that? It is not allowed to be used for ID for ANYTHING but socialism security. No one has over stepped that law yet. Layoutshooter

Layout, the problem with Thib is that he don't know what it is - only knows that it's "something bad" - that they had "over there" - therefore cannot recognize it even when it's right under his nose.

And certainly the guy he voted for can't be for it .... cause it's bad ..... and his guy is good ......... therefore it's all a fiction.

It ain't a fiction.

Care to hazard a guess on the No. 1 growth industry in the US for say, oh ...... the last mebbe 8 or 15 years ..... ?

Obama won tonight because he promised things that cannot happen without tearing up our Constitution.
No, Obama won tonight because he isn't Bush, and he wasn't a Republican, plain and simple.

He was less Bush and less Republican than McCain.

In the long run, the only thing that one can really be hammered on is failing to deliver what you promised ....

The Republicans have done that in spades. I'll be happy to count the ways if you so desire (..... actually, I'd really prefer not to ...... just think about it tho' ....)

Oh and be sure to watch for the $.50 a gallon increase in our fuel tax that they promised. That should help your business. Layoutshooter

It is not a "Label".

Here is a citation to back up the Marxist/Socialist/communist views of YOUR next President.

as report by the CHICAGO TRIBUNE July 2, 2008 and also the CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY.

Obama promised to increase AmeriCorps slots from 75,000 to 250,000 and pledged to double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."

He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students.

For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service.

Obama said he realizes there will be skeptics, but stressed that greater public service will make the nation safer.

"Our destiny as Americans is tied up with one another," he said. "If we are less respected in the world, then you will be less safe."

Yup - just don't know no better.

Most did go to the public schools. Marxism was and is taught there.
Yupper ... and that wasn't by accident .... it was intentional .... calculated to cause the exact state of civil and political affairs that we have now.

The people are busy, busy, busy .... divided largely into two factions ...... which are at war with one another. Divide and conquer is the idea. What better way than to have them fight one another ? ..... lest they become united and actually take control of their government and their own lives ......

Ultimately though, the real purpose and goal was to cause a state of economic slavery for the vast majority of the populace ....

How much ya figger the guvmint oughta be able to take ?

10% ..... 25% ..... 50% ..... 75% ?

Note that I didn't say the entire populace above ....

And it wasn't some Soviet or Bolshevik plot that caused this to happen .... it came from right here in our own country .....
