I’m very pleased to have found your website link from AT. For some reason or another I can’t log on to AT to post. I will have to create another e-mail address and password and try again. I’ll figure it out.

I just wanted to praise AT for the exceptional and gifted writers on staff. You guys are great. All of you! I’m new to all this blogging,[I'm and old guy compared to you and the others]and not that Tec or writer savay, so I will do my best in posting issuses on Federal Labor Law vs the Unions[in particular the Teamsters concerning ["the donination and control by the MOB"].

As a former member[on withdrawal card]of one of the most corrupt Mobbed-Up Local Unions in CHICAGO [ the principle officer "wacked" his kid in the basement] along with the many entities of the Union structure to the top. I spent many years in the Cook County law library of the Daley center.

So much so I missed many years of the children growing up in my thirst for Justice to be made whole[ for them not myself] Haven’t found it yet, but that’s besides the point here and now. I got an education out of it. Somthing I want to offer to the participants here to focus on how the union members get sold out, and why. The many schemes and who controls the processes other than the MOB.

I know first hand about corruption in Chicago, including City Hall scandals [The One's training ground]where I believe I can offer substance and facts into this enviroment where the MSM including Fox News fails miserably at exposing this corruption with a bright light.That is why history repeats its self, but in Chicago it never ends.

I lived in the 11th Ward of the Daley “Irish Don” Dynasty for most of my life. This Country and the people in it haven’t got a clue, Nada, O, including all those members in the Unions backing the complete unfettered idiot in the oval office, poured from the same mold of corruption.
What I have to say, I would say it to his face in no uncertain terms, the secret service, Axlerod and Raul Emmanual be damned!

The corrupt history gives anyone with a half of brain or less to see clearly if they would just open their eyes and reason with rational thoughts and expressions. As one of the old ‘wiseguys’ in the neighborhood taught me “Not everything is the way it seems”. This is were they, the union members, lack in their wisdom, because of their dues paid non-stop brainwashing. White is white, and black is black is their thinking, but little do they know.

This is were the members of the unions backing O are fools. To believe [like they all do] that they are represented is an illusion. The unions OWN their asses, lock, stock and barrel, because the unions intentionally fail and refuse to educate them in any manner concerning their labor contractual rights for thr most part.

Particularly if the union sells them out through a backroom handshake deal in their grievance process. These members are so blind, the union thugs could steal the F’n chair with them in it and they still wouldn’t get it. Many of these members are just plain F’n stupid and I feel sorry for them in part because they are blinded their ignorance and baffled by the bullsqueeze of the union thugs. The member[s] only figure it out[maybe] after their OX is the one who got goured.

I’m stuck in labor pergatory. I hate the unions now, for I know I was sold out, however my mother had breast cancer, my father was a long standing Member with his combined time. The local union’s “Health & Welfare Plan” paid almost a million dollars in her treatment. Now ask yourselves, would walmart do that?

She fought the battle for years but lost the war after my father took his retirement and moved to Southwest Missouri where I LIVE NOW. Conservatism here is the norm and the only political answer. It was like getting an enema, flushing away all the poisonous thinking, the mindset one develops from the enviroment they live in.
I also contribute this cleansing to Mr. Neal Boortz [talk radio] and the Fair Tax publications of both Boortz and Congressman John Linder[R Georgia]. This is what the republican concervative movement should be hammering on, on a daily bases non-stop including every writer at AT. fairtax.org.

Believe me, moving here was the best thing that happened to my family and I, to run like hell, fleeing the never ending Daley machine of Mobbed-Up corruption,taxes, fraud, waste and abuse for the elite on the backs of the taxpayers Obama claimed/claims he represented. SHHHHIIIIIIT! I knew wiseguys I would trust more than him any day of the week.

Obam is the biggest phony, fraud and empty suit I’ve ever seen crawl out of Daley’s shorts with a wet chin to boot.
At this point in my life after what happen, I could care less what he thinks or what he would say after reading the above comment. I don’t give a flying F on friday if it were for free. He’s a punk!!!!!!!!!!!!

The factual story of what happened [I have all the records to back it up] to me and others involved is much to long to post.

I’m looking for a “writer” to assit me in writing a book. I would make it worth their time from the sales. Believe me, even some members of Congress would be forced to take notice. This may give others an opportunity to wise up and the abillity to protect themselves and their families from what happen to me and the others and change federal labor laws to 21st century litigation.

It has taken the Feds over 40 years to clean the MOB out of the teamsters union. Think Robert Kennedy and the “Hoffa Wars” and how long its been. Before YOU WERE BORN young man, and they still are not through.

I think Joe The Plummer is great, I can relate to this man completely, however with a thicker skin than most people who are afraid of the MSM. The MSM sits down when they have to WEE-WEE, getting “a thrill down their leg”. As George Bush exclaimed “Bring It On”! You worthless whimps and pimps of the prostituted media, make my day!

Thinking like the disgusting MOB and their rank demented mentality I can think of a list of names of many who should get “wacked”, but being a Christian I pray for forgivness and forgive those who trespassed against me, but I will “Never Forget”. They will all meet their maker one day recieve what is comming to them.
JUSTICE will prevail in the end.

Well this is much too long. “I’ll Be Back”
Thanks for your time and talent Sir, you guys/gals are great, keep up the fine work.

Suggesting that you use chemicals to help ignore the Chuck Tucson’s of the world was just me projecting. Because, if I had to deal with me, I’d sure as hell need a hit from time to time.

Hellofa reaction though.

Hellofa compliment. And your explanation is not believable in the slightest - especially given the comment you left on that same essay about my 5 years blogging.

Go try and snow someone else. I ain’t buying.

They’re all douchebags, and the entire Congress should be turned over.

Which begs the age old questions:

1. Are they douchebags before they get into office?
2. If not, what about political office promotes douchebaggery?
3. Is douchebaggery contagious?
4. How much weed does Rick smoke on a daily basis, just to get by?

Tough questions indeed.

The gratuitous slap at me is totally uncalled for and begs the question; what kind of idiot visits the blog of a stoner?

If you are not going to respond intelligently, go away. I find most of your responses boring and puerile. You have nothing original to offer - just bad snark. Good snark I can put up with, but stupid snark isn’t worth it.

If you want to comment, leave out the personal insults. That is my prerogative alone. If you don’t want to play by the rules, don’t comment. And if you comment anyway, I will ban you.

It might have slipped by you, but the Dems had about an eight year hiatus from running much of anything recently. Did you mean Republicans?

They’re all douchebags, and the entire Congress should be turned over.

There’s much I don’t understand about the economy. But I believe a large part of the mortgage meltdown was the result of noble but ill-fated intentions by Congress to extend credit to those who otherwise didn’t qualify.

As Henry Hazlitt said in 1946, “When people risk their own funds they are usually careful in their investigations to determine the adequacy of the assets pledged and the business acumen and honesty of the borrower.
…[But]government lenders will take risks with other people’s money (the taxpayers’) that private lenders will not take with their own money” (You can read more at http://jim.com/econ/chap06p1.html)

Its wrong to lay this blame at the feet of just one party. I just hope Obama’s policies don’t make it worse.
