Our great country was founded upon the cherished principle that unalienable rights are bestowed upon all by the creator, God. To preserve what God ordained for man, we have instituted laws. All the laws ever enacted in the United States, have been expressly written in support of the highest law of all, God's law that says that all are created equal and have those inalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness. Our constitution is the highest law of our country. All subsequently written and enacted laws must support our constitution.
Therefore, what is going on inside the United Auto Workers union should alarm everybody. Washington is watching and learning whether this will fly or not. Because the automotive manufacturing sector is in so much trouble, the automotive suppliers are having an even worse time trying to stay afloat. As an excuse to circumvent the United Auto Workers union's constitution, President Ron Gettlefinger, who is nearing the end of his second term as Union President, is seeking to set aside the constitution of the union which states that he is term limited to just two terms, so that he can help maintain continuity for suppliers, many of whom have workers that are members. Now, if Ron Gettlefinger can do this at the union, why cant this be done for the country also? Washington is watching, and if this flies for the union, they will try it on the rest of us too!
New leadership is not going to harm the suppliers. The fate of the suppliers is not in jeopardy if Mr. Gettlefinger is not at the helm of the union.
Now, I am not opposed to repealing those term limits within the confines of the current constitution, like with a constitutional ammendment. But to just "set aside" the provisions in the current constitution is alarming, and it should alarm you too!

Dinner for Two!
After returning home from work this afternoon and being pay day, I suggested to my wife that we go out for dinner at Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen. We have not eaten there in a couple of months, and we really like the fare. It is five star Italian dining at three star price. It is not an uppity place either, it has a warm and fun family atmosphere. It is a place where you can open the menu, close your eyes, and place your finger anywhere on it, and be totally satisfied with what you get!
I had my favorite dish, Pasta Con Polo, which has grilled chicken breast strips, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh basil and a light Alfredo sauce tossed with bow-tie pasta (magnificent). Su had the Combination Del Mare, which had seasoned Talapia fillet and shrimp over angel hair pasta in a white wine sauce and two crab meat stuffed Portabella mushroom caps with a light garlic butter sauce. We split a Papa's salad which has crisp mixed greens, bacon, blue cheese, calamata olives, and a lite house dressing. For my dessert we each had canolis.
While we were waiting for our diner to arrive, we shared a freshly baked loaf of bread which we dipped in olive oil and spices poured over freshly roasted minced garlic on a plate. We had a coupon for one free entre, so the entire outing including a generous tip for our server Mat, came to only 41 dollars!
A well deserved diversion from the droll humdrum of bad news lately. Thoroughly well worth the money. The next time you come to Pontiac, make sure you go there for lunch or dinner. You'll love it too! Check out their menu here

Obama is a Domestic Terrorist
Today here in Michigan it was reported that the latest figures for the unemployment rate ticked up to 11.5 percent! which means that if you put 100 Michigan residents in a room, 11 have no job and 1 is going to be fired tomorrow.
Every time that Obama or anyone else in his administration opens their mouth, the market tanks. Why? Because of fear and uncertainty at just what the administration will do next! President "Doom and Gloom" is really good at fear mongering. He was termed as a "one man wrecking machine" in regards to the economy by one Democrat in the house!
I recently had to make a run to Brampton Ontario with parts for the automotive parts supplier Benteler Automotive. While I was there I spoke to two different Canadian workers who had health issues. One had sciatica that made him limp badly. I asked him what he did to his foot, and he told me his sciatica was acting up again. The other fellow had torn a ligament in his shoulder while on the job three years ago. He was on lite duty, and was in constant pain. His range of motion was limited for his left arm. His story was nightmarish. He waited for a year to get an MRI, then another year for it to be interpreted, only to be told that he needed to have another MRI done! All the while he suffered with excruciating pain. He had been given 30 days worth of Oxycontin and when it was gone his doctor told him that he was unable to prescribe any more for him because the government says that it was potentially addicting!
So three years later he is still in severe pain, and the doctors cant do anything for him. He just received a letter that states that the range of motion in his left arm was only 50 percent and the prognosis was that he would not get any better. There was no hope of scheduling a surgery to reattach the torn ligament in his shoulder (because the government deems that to be too costly a surgery)! This type of horrific situation is exactly what Obama wants to do for us! What a compassionate man he is.
Obama supporters say that "a little socialism is a good thing". This clown Obama is a socialist Marxist who must be stopped. The Obama supporters say, "give him a chance, he has only been in office for one month." and I say to that "just how much more damage are you willing to endure to our society before you wake up and see that this Marxist should never have been elected to office as President? Are you willing to wait until your retirement savings is completely wiped out? Are you willing to wait until you need a lifesaving surgery and the doctors tell you that the government says you can't have it because it costs too much? Are you willing to live in constant pain because the government deems pain medication is too addictive or not cost effective? Are you willing to endure all of this "hope and change" for the sake of advancing Obama's radical socialist, Marxist agenda?
He wants to "soak the rich" and give everyone a tax break at the same time. Good luck with that objective. He plans to raise everyone's' taxes by taxing the hell out of you at the gas pump, and for all energy you use. How the hell does that translate into a "tax break for 95% of all Americans"? It should be painfully obvious to everyone by now that he does not know what in the hell he is doing. And his gross ineptitude is destroying our society from the inside out! Watch out people, YOU are in his cross hairs!
