October/November 2011 Foundation Action Now Available Online
The October/November 2011 issue of Foundation Action is now available to read online or download as a PDF.
Here's a sample of this month's cover story about the out-of-control Obama Labor Board's assault on job providers -- even your local Mom and Pop shop:
Obama NLRB Exceeds Legal Authority in Payback to Big Labor
WASHINGTON, DC – As the list of Obama Administration political paybacks to Big Labor grows, the National U
Far exceeding its statutory authority, the NLRB is now forcing its way into as many as six million private-sector workplaces. The new rule requires job providers to post biased notices that effectively serve as a roadmap to unionization, even if workers don't want to labor under union-boss control, and even if the company has never been accused of an "unfair labor practice."
Mom and Pop shops, small businesses, larger companies -- even some religiously-affiliated organizations -- are now under the Obama Labor Board's microscope. Read the full issue to learn more.

Thomas Sowell - Did He Write This?
Sent to me by a friend. I have read enough about Dr. Sowell to know this is what he believes, whether he wrote this article or not.
So do I.
Merle
The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama’s America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.
It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.
It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person’s guaranteed liberties.
It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor.
It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.
Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America.
”Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”
So do I.

Obama Tries in All Ways to Control the Public's Use of Guns
Feds bag idea of curbing target practice on public lands. By Miguel Llanos, msnbc.com
The Obama administration on Wednesday backed off a draft policy to restrict target shooting on federal land near residential areas.
Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., last Friday sent Salazar a letter asking that the draft policy be canned, saying he worried it would be taken advantage of by anti-gun rights groups. "Any draft proposal regarding recreation on public lands must continue to guarantee hunting opportunities," he wrote.
In a statement issued along with a copy of the letter, Rehberg said the Obama administration "is uncomfortable with gun rights, and eager to restrict the Second Amendment at every opportunity."
"In a state like Montana, where the federal government is by far the largest land holder, preserving Second Amendment rights on public land isn’t just a question of good policy," he said. "It’s a question of protecting our way of life from big-city meddlers."
The rationale cited in the draft included public safety on areas maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.
"As the West has become more populated, recreational shooters now often find themselves in conflict with other public lands users, and the BLM is frequently called on to mediate these conflicts," the draft stated.
"Closing areas where risks are high may reduce shooting related conflicts, and may also reduce legal claims against the BLM for shooting-related injuries or damages," the draft concluded.
Rehberg and others opposed to the draft were particularly concerned with criteria they felt would allow land managers to unfairly limit target practices. The draft would have stated that "the specific shooting activity must not:"
•"Cause a public disturbance or create risk to other persons on public lands.
•"Deface, remove or destroy natural features, native plants, cultural resources, historic structures or government and/or private property.
•"Facilitate and create a condition of littering, refuse accumulation and abandoned personal property.
•"Violate existing use restriction, a closure and restriction order, or supplementary rules notice."
A committee that advises the federal government on hunting issues had earlier also voiced concern about the draft.
"The Council concludes that its implementation will have the practical effect of moving recreational shooting off public lands, thereby diminishing public access to public lands," the group stated earlier this month in comments to the BLM.
The group, known as the Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council, drafted recommendations such as building berms to enhance safety. Its members include hunting associations as well as The Nature Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation.

Back Romney? Richard Vigverie Says Probably Not
And who is Richard Vigverie? Best to look him up on the internet. I believe he is right as I have written on this blog site. In my humble opinion, the Republican who can turn this country around (too many good old boys and girls running the party) has yet to declare.
Too bad for at least 60% of this country.

Jason Mattera on Bush Tax Cuts And MSNBC
Issue of "Bush Tax Cuts Rises Again With Failure of Super Committee" by Jason Mattera11/22/2011
Comments: By randomly turning on MSNBC at any point throughout the day, you’re guaranteed to see one of the following:
--Chris Matthews’s spittle ricocheting off of the camera;
--Rachel Maddow in a hoodie; or
--Some leftwing politician droning on and on about how the Bush tax cuts must be rescinded… because they weren’t paid for, because they’ve contributed massively to the deficit, because they were for the “rich,” and something about the Koch Brothers and Grover Norquist being a bane upon American democracy.
Indeed, the tax cuts signed into law by President Bush in 2001 and 2003 have taken center stage once again now that the “supercommittee” charged with finding $1.2 trillion in spending cuts admitted failure. The Washington Post wrote that the supercommitte’s undoing has thrust the “much-contested Bush tax cuts into the forefront of next year’s presidential campaign.” As the Post goes on to note, Democrats will “portray Obama’s opponent in the presidential election as a defender of tax cuts for the rich.”
“The wealthiest of Americans, those who earn over a million dollars every year, have to share, too. And that line in the sand we haven’t seen any Republicans willing to cross yet,” said one of the United States Senate’s most uninformed members, Patty Murray (D.-Wash.).
Dan Pfeiffer, official White House hack and Obama bootlicker, said the expiration of the tax cuts “should be a powerful incentive to the Republicans to abandon their politically foolish and substantively absurd position on taxes on the wealthy.”
And the beat goes on.
Except, of course, these shopworn liberal objections to tax cuts are filled with more shinola than Michael Moore’s colon.
Seeing that the Democrats are reviving their favorite campaign talking point, let’s review the facts about “tax cuts for the rich.”
First off, what President Bush enacted into law cut taxes across the board on everyone, not just the upper echelon. The 15 percent rate dropped to 10 percent, 27 percent to 25 percent, 30 percent to 28 percent, 35 percent to 33 percent, and 39.6 percent to 35 percent. Now go ahead and ask a lib which income bracket received the highest cut. Oh, snap: That would be the lowest income threshold, which nosedived five percentage points.
The whole “tax cuts for the rich” is pure bunk, a lie that liberals shamelessly popularize. Not that this should surprise us one bit. Here we have a Democrat Party in America that couldn’t agree on a puny $1.2 trillion in spending reductions over a 10-year-period. That means that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi’s minions refused to slice off what amounts to $120 billion dollars a year of a federal budget nearly topping $4 trillion. Instead they insisted that taxes be jacked up to pay for their statist programs.
Next up, we have the line that tax cuts blew the lid off of our deficit. That’s funny, because during the last year a Republican budget controlled Congress (fiscal year 2007), the deficit stood at a minuscule $161 billion dollars. $161 billion! That’s at least five years into the tenure of those evil tax cuts. Moreover, as HUMAN EVENTS has previously reported, federal tax receipts actually went up while the tax cuts were accelerating. In other words, the United States Treasury received more money not less because of the Bush tax cuts that Democrats allege ruined America’s economy.
See for yourself:
$1.88 trillion in 2004
$ 2.15 trillion in 2005
$ 2.4 trillion in 2006
$ 2.6 trillion in 2007
The last figure was actually the highest dollar amount brought into the Treasury Department… ever. That’s right, folks. While Democrats wail and whine about tax cuts as the main culprit for this country’s deficit woes, it turns out that we were bringing in bagfuls of money at historic proportions during that same time.
Idiots.
Then there are the politically-savvy, but totally fallacious, calls for "shared sacrifice." Naturally the Democrats don’t use that phrase to describe the nearly 50 percent of Americans who don’t pay any federal income taxes, but instead those who already pay the bulk of all federal, state, and local taxes. That aside, it’s the spending side of the lever that is completely out-of-whack, and has been so for a while. We’re now in our third straight year in a row with deficits exploding past $1 trillion dollars.
So when a lib is babbling to you about “shared sacrifice,” you can remind him that his great leader Messiah Obama shattered two spending records: Giving America her first-ever $1 trillion dollar deficit, and number two, extending that history-making deficit three consecutive years.
Heck, this guy has managed to increase the national debt by more than the first 41 presidents combined (George Washington to George Bush), and he’s done so in a mere 32 months.
You go, Barack!
And there you have it, the cutting evidence you need at your finger tips to eviscerate those unending lefty desires to slam us against the locker room and raid our wallets some more. Time to hit these Dems back with what they can’t get around -- a little something, something called: Facts.

That aside, it’s the spending side of the lever that is completely out-of-whack, and has been so for a while. We’re now in our third straight year in a row with deficits exploding past $1 trillion dollars.
So when a lib is babbling to you about “shared sacrifice,” you can remind him that his great leader Messiah Obama shattered two spending records: Giving America her first-ever $1 trillion dollar deficit, and number two, extending that history-making deficit three consecutive years.
Heck, this guy has managed to increase the national debt by more than the first 41 presidents combined (George Washington to George Bush), and he’s done so in a mere 32 months.
You go, Barack!
And there you have it, the cutting evidence you need at your finger tips to eviscerate those unending lefty desires to slam us against the locker room and raid our wallets some more. Time to hit these Dems back with what they can’t get around -- a little something, something called: Facts.

Real Thanksgiving Wishes
To all my other readers, may the year end on a more positive note and that the year of 2012 end with optimism and 2013 come in with a real "change". May you have less to be stressful about than you have had in recent years and months.
Those who say even if my candidate can't win I'm not voting for he or she. Too bad, FOUR more years of disaster for this once great country. Why do I say "once" great? Please read more media like the WSJ and watch more balanced business news like FOX TV.
If you try to understand what Obama is saying and doing, you will understand he knows EXACTLY) what he is doing.

To Obama and all who strongly support him, you deserve to get the turkey stuffed - up your respective asses whole.

More "Market Spiral" Humor
Forwarded to me by my niece, Kris Widmer. Thanks, Chris.
Merle
Origin of Left & Right
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left."
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left."
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
"A wise man's heart is at his right hand;
but a fool's heart at his left"
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (KJV)
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
Can't get any simpler than that.
Subject:Spelling Lesson
The last four letters in American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican.......I Can
The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats
End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2012
Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent extermination month.

Obama and Democrats Send Market in a Downward Spiral
Might as well have a good laugh. Not much for investors to laugh about. And don't say "vote the corrupters out". It hasn't worked much yet and the Republican field is weak.
A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugger, a liberal Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville , WA . There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land, so she started to climb the big tree.
As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to a local ER to see a doctor.
She told him she was an environmentalist, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, what took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a "recreational area" so close to a waste treatment facility. I'm sorry, but due to Obama Care they turned me down.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Sears - Read This - It's True
Forwarded to me by a friend. I agree. Merle
Sears - Christmas shopping this year.
I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn't always my first choice. It's amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and Sears hasn't withdrawn from their commitment.
Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?
How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty?
By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more.
Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up for active duty.
Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at least once, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it well deserves.
Pass it on.
I decided to check this before I sent it forward.
So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for contacting Sears. The information is factual. We appreciate your positive feedback.
Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our young men and women can make.
We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time.

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!
