AMERICA -- WHAT HAPPENS TO HER IN NOVEMBER?


TO: EDITOR: THE DAILY PRESS
FROM: Joe Mann, James City County

On August 1, an essay in The Daily Press, a Tribune Company Newspaper, offered the idea that irrespective of  who wins the November election, America will continue to be the exceptional nation she has long been -- so long as we maintain our founding principles. This concept has long been the reality of America. No more. The author ignores who President Obama really is and what his goals are. It continues to baffle me that so many people ignore reality and are likely to support Obama irrespective of his performance and his goals.

MY VIEW
In the past, I would have endorsed Charles T. Joyner's op-ed, 1 August, “The World Won't End If Your Guy Doesn't Win.” He concludes, “as long as we uphold our founding principles and celebrate our “exceptionalism” we will remain the richest and strongest nation of Earth.” Historically, we could rely on this premise. Not now! Barack Obama is not a traditional American president.

He's proven his intentions to transform America. He doesn't endorse American “exceptionalism.” He's polarized Americans deliberately, to build voter blocs – for power. Many of his radical appointees are steeped in collectivism – Marxism. He and his AG have ignored the constitution, including the separation of powers, and abrogated laws at will. His every move suggests his views are statist.

Obama leads a new low of economic expansion that appears permanent with reduced GDP growth and job creation. No president creates jobs. Rather, he/she leads in establishing policies that encourage private capital formation and economic expansion. Obama's policies are antithetical to growth. His attack on coal and oil epitomizes destructive policy.

Oil and coal underpin the economy. To attack these is not unlike destroying the foundation of one's house and expecting the structure to stand. This is but one of many policies that destroy the American way. After 4 years, such destructive policies must be deliberate. There's more!

With re-election of Obama, traditional America will be no more. Romney will not be ideal, but he will be pro-American.

    Is very important to find out who Obama is, but no every American is well informed. I read this interesting facts about Obama called: Obama LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES. Also I checked this website: http://www.audicityofhypocisy.com.

    The movie: Obama's America 2016, this movie is a must to watch for every American that cares about the future of the next generations. I been trying to find the theatres that are showing it, but all Regal Cinemas are not. This shows that we are losing our Free of Speech with other rights granted but the American Constitution.

    About 2016: Obama's America;
    2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016? D'Souza is the author, he is also a Speaker, President of Kings College in NY City, he worked in the White House with President Reagan where he served as a policy analyst.D'Souza was born in Mumbai, Indiathat came to the US as an exchange student and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Darmouth Collge in 1983.

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w...

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif...

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own exp...
