    archiebird commented on the diary post Walmart’s War Against Unions — and the U.S. Laws That Make It Possible by Julie Gutman Dickinson.

    2013-06-05 18:02:20View | Delete

    Walmart may be averting Unionization of its employees, but it looks like it won’t be sucking off of the public teat too much longer in California. As many of us know, Walmart’s employee’s are systematically underpaid and many have to collect public assistance by way of food stamps and medicaid in order to make ends [...]

    When do the firepups get to say, “I told you so to Kos?” Count me in, I’m there.

    I love how Obama even had the NERVE to say he was gonna ‘help’ Democrats get elected in 2014. BWahahahahaaaa…..(Practically the same day his budget proposals were made public.) Love this video from the Onion http://www.theonion.com/video/in-bipartisan-spirit-obama-makes-deal-to-get-kicke,28107/ What amazes me is how Kos is in disbelief. Really? Ministry had a good article the “Dems didn’t cave, [...]

    archiebird commented on the diary post Justice Department Memo Reveals ‘Legal Case’ for Drone Strikes on Americans by wendydavis.

    2013-02-05 20:00:27View | Delete

    Does anyone know if these leaked ‘white paper’ memos have something to do with Anonymous’ hack of the Justice Department and their threat to release ‘armed warheads’ to various news outlets in retaliation for Aaron Schwartz’s suicide? Is there a remote possibility that these may be part of that? Or am I being too much [...]

    I thought Business International was a front group for the CIA? Sorry if I’m sounding all ‘conspiracy theorist’ about stuff.

    This is GREAT News!!! Thank you so much David. As the spouse of a union worker in Michigan, I truly welcome this news. Now only if the people will vote the way they’re supposed to. That is the scarey part.

    2012-10-24 19:19:13View | Delete

    Is voting for Obama immoral? Is the pope catholic. Obama’s latest imperial presidency escapade: http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2012/10/24-11 The “matrix” is a “centralized clearinghouse for determining who will be executed without due process” based solely upon determinations made exclusively by the executive branch. And… The “disposition matrix” itself was “motivated by Obama’s refusal to arrest or detain terrorist [...]

    2012-06-15 09:18:35View | Delete

    Hey Anthony–great post!! Syriza has vowed to stay with the Euro too, if elected. Here’s the great part about Syria (not really) NATO (the US) is arming the opposition to Assad’s government unilaterally WITHOUT the UN security council’s blessing. It seems China and Russian want talks between the Assad government and the Rebels. Imagine that, [...]

    Great News Michael! I would like to point out something that may or may not be of interest to you and that is that the Syriza Party in Greece has garnered 30% of the vote in just a few short months. Maybe theres a tactic or winning strategy in there that be employable for your [...]

    2012-04-16 08:06:48View | Delete

    I knew what the response was before the ‘fold’ flip. I knew the parties would be aligned on contitutional issues. I believe this is what kept Ron Paul alive so long in the primaries and also contributes to the Libs and Progs success in getting the Fed (partially) audited legislation passed last year. Question is: [...]

    Pardon my cynicism, but this is just a dog and pony show the Dems are pretending to care about so at least it would ‘look like’ they tried to do something.

    Greg-I wish you were available for the public comment period DTE had for Fermi 3. The date has come and gone and we’re still waiting to hear what the outcome is/was. I wish the people in this county were as well armed with nuclear power knowledge as you. I did mention you and your writings [...]

    Don’t worry David, they’re (the fed agencies and HUD) are just MIFFED because you probably got it right, already. I challenge them and say, go ahead, prove it wrong and we’ll STFU! Until then Federal agencies and HUD put your money where your mouth is and don’t blow sunshine up our asses.
