DON'T YOU SEE IT AMERICA?
Through Sullivan’s Eye, the crux of our economic problems is the fact that business no longer spearheads our economy. Government Inquisition has put their nose in everything, wanting control. It’s the only way Socialism works, at least for awhile. American business isn’t completely guilty, nor are they completely innocent. Greedy buttheads have opened the door to demonization and American media has run with that spin.
Not referenced anywhere are the enormous fines imposed upon American business and industry by our multi-headed serpent, i.e., local, state and federal government. For example, I’ve noted the vast fines imposed on business for years and should’ve been tallying the numbers. The total $ have to be stunning. It would be interesting to actually see them in print, although I doubt if they can be obtained.
One local example is a $17.7 mm judgment against Serpentini Chevrolet, the largest Chevy dealer in Ohio, and 12th largest in the country. If this is the amount they defaulted on, it’s legitimate. But will the 8.3% annual assessment on the unpaid amount really be an incentive for them to pay it back sooner rather than later? It will probably put them under, and put a number of non-union Americans out of work.
Wouldn’t you think that looking over the shoulder of business and warning them of bad practices would have been a better approach? In other words, using a gentle stick rather than a stick-up. Wouldn’t you also think this approach would have benefited ALL Americans rather than the outcome the inquisitions have produced?

ANOTHER RACIAL HATE CRIME
Four white police officers were shot to death this month in Oakland, California by a black man.

Congress Reviews Potential National Security Threat in Disappearance of Somali Youths
"The FBI and counterterrorism officials say the young men appear to be going to Somalia to fight occupying Ethiopian forces but no one can be sure they won't be radicalized and return to the United States."
This Fox News headline underscores the need to curtail immigration from nations such as Somalia. The difference between immigrants today from areas such as Somalia and other areas is the changing of America's culture.
Other immigrant groups in the past have become American; others today become, for example, "Mexicans in America", or "Iraqis in America".
Illegals are adding to the problem, causing the increase of social costs and criminal incidents.
Nobody's at the switch!

North Korea Offers Possible Olive Branch Before Clinton Visit
What a crock.....they're licking their chops over American taxpayer money Hillary and the Obama Administration are talking about giving them in "exchange" for them being a good guy and giving up the nuclear weapon capability they allegedly have.
J. Edgar Hoover called them purveyors of "The Big Lie." They have come to power in the United States and most folks don't even know it.

GIVING FELONS A SECOND CHANCE
Now, doesn't that sound like a great idea? Normally I would think that this might be something good. However, in this day and age, the idea sucks.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson has employed a drug and sex felon as a traffic cop. His justification? A "Second Chance Program". Well, through this writer's eye, he ought to be considering a "First Chance Program."
What kind of message has he sent to the youth of the community? It's OK to go to prison because when you get out you'll have a job anyhow? You'll get a job that would normally go to one who has stayed on the straight and narrow?
This is another case of the inmates running the institution.

FEMALE BIAS TOWARDS MEN
Watching FOX News this month, a story on Chief Justice Ginsberg surfaced. She's had a cancer surgery and her tenure as a Justice of the Supreme Court may be ending soon. A woman was interviewed (sorry but I don't remember her name) was interviewed regarding the possibility of an appointment by President Obama. She said, "We're not going back to the days of all men on the Supreme Court", or something to that effect.
Her statement betrayed an attitude that has developed in this nation. We MUST have a woman on the Supreme Court. We MUST have a black on the Supreme Court. We MUST have a Jew on the Supreme Court. Where is all this leading? What's on the horizon? We MUST have a homosexual on the Supreme Court? We must have a homeless person on the Supreme Court? We must have black construction workers replace white construction workers?
In the likely event that I will be branded a homophobe, or anti-female, I would remind readers that my mother was a woman, as is my wife and three daughters. Oh yes, I have six sisters too.

Reparations for African-Americans
I heard on the radio recently that a Conference on Racism and Reparations was held in Barbados. After convening they voted to exclude any non-blacks from attending. Hmmmm.
When it comes to reparations for African-American descendants of slaves, I’d think that any who think themselves deserving of this should begin with those in the motherland that sold their ancestors in the first place. In case you haven’t figured it out – they were blacks selling blacks.

Pounding a square peg through a round hole.
Writing in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, columnist Regina Brett believes a domestic registry for homosexuals is a human and civil rights issue. Huh?
Although I agree with much of whhat she writes, I vehemently disagree with her on this one. It's not about human or civil rights, it's about power. It's about getting the door opened a crack so it can be kicked fully open later.
Why the issue of homosexuality is a political issue used to befuddle me. However, understanding power, I understand matters more fully.
You've heard it before - what is done behind closed doors is ones own business. I condemn the act, not the actors. Sorry, but neither Ms. Brett or Cleveland Councilman Cimperman's self-righteousness on the issue doesn't make it right.
Through Sullivan's Eye, the problem is legitimizing homosexuality - why it's OK to do it; it's a normal thing. Well, it's not normal and I won't sit around and let it the squareness of the issue be pounded through a round hole.
"Don't ask, don't tell." That door's been opened a crack and now they're trying to kick it wide open. Know what I mean?
THIS OPINION IS PROTECTED BY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. ''That Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common good, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.''

ValKyrie
Possessing a passion for history, I don’t remember when I first became aware of Claus Philipp Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. I remember him for who he was for what he attempted to accomplish. A German officer during World War II, he was central in German resistance to Nazi rule. He was also Catholic. I write this one day after release of the movie Val Kyrie, Hollywood’s version of events.
Although I haven’t’ seen the movie yet, it appears propagandists still exist. Take Roger Friedman’s review for example. It seems , as if on cue, Friedman has reacted to the movie from a parochial viewpoint. He believes the movie “opens the door to a dangerous new thought: that the Holocaust and all the other atrocities could be of secondary important to the cause of German patriotism.” He is concerned that the movie’s’ characters, “heroes” he calls them, tongue-in-cheek, were aware of what was going around them. Curious reaction from Friedman given the topic of the movie.
Also forgotten in the movie is another central theme of the war, Germany’s attempt to crush the Communist Party government of Moscow’s Joseph Stalin. Like Germany’s Nazi Party, communists killed millions of their own citizens to further their end cause.
Freidman is upset because not once in “Val Kyrie” do any of the movie” “heroes” mention what’s happening around them, “that any of them is appalled by or against what they know is happening or has happened: Hitler has systemically killed millions in the most barbaric ways possible to imagine.”
Val Kyrie is an attempt to bring Von Stauffenberg and his co-conspirators into the light of history. We all know of Nazi atrocities to Jews. However, among those of the Holocaust were others, such as Catholics like Von Stauffenberg. What occurred in Nazi Germany was not solely put upon Jewish people.
If anything, this movie does not appear to be an attempt to de-Nazify Germany. Rather, it is an attempt to cast Germany into proper historic light. Germans have had enough guilt imposed on them. Many theorize World War II would not have occurred if Germany had not suffered the huge remuneration penalties that burdened them after World War I.
Most German soldiers, like German civilians, had been dragged into events they had no power over, the web the Nazi Party was casting. Val Kyrie is, through this writer’s eye, a long-overdue postscript to World War Two and those who sought to change things.

BAILING OUT SYNCHRONICITY
Back in the 80s the trucking industry was deregulated. What occurred was the collapse of poorly-managed trucking companies that had been supported by collective rate making. Management and union at the time were in synchronicity with each other. Rate increases were routinely approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission so union wage demands could be met. Teamsters unions were smart. If a national strike was called they didn't strike ALL the trucking companies, they would just choose one of them. Kind of like the UAW.
The safety net of collective rate making went out the door with deregulation. Those companies who had been riding along were forced to close their doors. Thousands of union truck drivers and support personnel were forced onto the streets. No bailout then. Fast forward to 2008.
President Bush has bailed out our automotive industry. We can't close them down, of course. However, I accuse management and labor to be in synchronicity with each, just like pre-regulation trucking in the 80s.
U.S. car makers had it all. When quality was introduced, and the American people began to buy foreign-made cars, the American auto industry woke up. They made giant strides in putting out better cars but they lost one invisible item - MOMENTUM. Kind of like a football team that fumbles the ball on opening drives and allows the opposition to get one or two up on them. It becomes pretty hard to regain any pretense at composure. Unless you have referees who give you the ball back.
President Bush has given the U.S. auto industry the ball back. My prediction is the UAW and American automobile executive management will continue to fumble. The question will then be, who's going to kick the referees out to make sure the rest of us witness an honest game?

WHEN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY RAN AMERICA
It is extremely popular for political writers and elected officials to demonize american business. If one believes Plain Dealer writer Dick Feagler, "Business Leaders Show Ignorance." He, too, demonizes American business. The fault is not entirely theirs however.
If one has followed the path of the fines to our businesses, e.g., EPA and SEC to name a few, the figures number into the hundreds and hundreds of millions. It is as if government entities have the luxury of time to explore us under a microsope. Eureka! We have found an area where we can extract money from them.
Yes, as I said, business leaders have only themselves to blame. But government, through its voracious appetite for extracted money, has forced industry to locate outside of our borders. We are not a place to invest capital. That only leaves a void for government to look for money within the borders. And that ain't much honey.
How does one create an atmosphere for investment? One can begin by looking at the Republic of Ireland where the tax rate for industry is low. Ireland donates money abroad without having to borrow. Contrast this with the tax rate in the British political entity called Northern Ireland and it becomes clear. And we must begin to pay down our national debt.
The incoming Obama administration has only one option. Oh yes, there are others, but they won't have the courage to create an environment for investors, both local and international. The place they want to take us is called socialism.
Profit is now a bad word in America, aided and abetted by government and media. Add the guilty in corporate America to the mix and we're ripe for "change". No, the option they exercise will be to print more money, exactly the same thing that has gotten us to this point. And, at some point, the American dollar will fall. I mean, utterly fail. No socialist government will accept the American dollar. For socialism to "work", every nation's government must be socialistic. Until they are, moral capitalism will be the only entity that creates wealth.
If we don't want wealth, what do we want?

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA DO BUT HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING"
Those words were spoken by a black man on WHK Radio news, 1420am, Cleveland, Ohio, on the morning following Obama's election. And, in those words one finds the reason many voted for Obama.
The quest for the White House by the Democratic National Committee was crafted to look as either-or. In other words, blacks voted for another black. Many "white" Americans voted for Obama to show that they are not prejudiced.
I don't know about others, but this has never been my case. I will vote for who I believe to be the right man or woman....I just haven't seen that person emerge yet.
In all this, I believe liberal Americans voted for Obama for the wrong reasons and some, witness the radio interview referenced above, only voted for him because he's black. We'll now give it four years to see what damage is done.

Redistribution of Income or Payment for past injustices
We have learned this week that Senator Obama, in a NPR Interview in recent years, said the Supreme Court did not go far enough with Civil Rights. In an allegory he said the Court should have addressed paying for the meals at the lunch counter.
What Americans can expect from a Democratically-trolled House, Senate and White House will be the words - REPARATIONS. This is their justification for the evil of slavery.
Many other ethnic races and nations, particularly the Irish and the Poles, could rightly claim REPARATIONS from England and Germany/Russia respectively.
An Obama presidency scares the hell of me.

Muslims in America
by
JC Sullivan
I just read that 100 employees of JBS Swift & Co meat packers, Grand Island, Nebraska, were recently fired. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer on 09/22/08,
"The firings occurred after the Somali Muslims observed Ramadan prayers at sunset while still at work." What's wrong with this picture?
I have questions. What the hell are Somali Muslims doing in Nebraska? Shouldn't they be in Somalia? Why are Americans not working there? What policies of the US Government have permitted this to occur? Folks, it's outta control.
Answers, please.

If I don't like you because you're a woman, I vote against you.
If I don't like you because you're Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, Agnostic, Australian, black, or whatever, rightly or wrongly, IT'S MY RIGHT!
So, is there something wrong with discriminating?

AL QUEADA - DON'T THEY HAVE FAMILIES TOO?
Any civilian death in a war zone is unfortunate. American and international media, however, seem to forget that when we target enemy combatants they might just have their families with them.
Enemy combatants should realize that if they are picking up arms against us they shouldn't expect to be able to safely hide amongst their family and friends. Let's see now.....did they distinguish between women and children when the knocked down the twin towers?

The Domino Theory
Youngsters today don't know what dominos are. Those of us old enough to remember them know that when you stood them up in a line and then knocked one down, the rest were then knocked down.
In the Americas we saw Nicaragua go the route of communism. Now, a man with a pocketful of oil money, is in power in Venezuela. He has invited the Russians to establish a presence there.
Regardless of what is said of the "Cold War", it has never really ended. They have only repositioned themselves while they tried to figure out what happened to the old Soviet Union. The fact is, they're forming a new one - in the Americas.
If we apply the domino theory we can expect the nations of Brazil, Columbia and, yes, Mexico, to become Soviet satellites. What does that translate to?
If anyone remembers allied involvement in Korea and Vietnam they will know that the Russians supplied arms to dissatisfied people to overtake government. Those arms killed, and continue to kill, America's best.
We have been too quick to jump into the fray while neglecting our own yard. Our allies have not stood up to help with money and other measures of support. Oh yes, they've been only too glad to take it. What happens when we don't have it anymore to give to them? We're fast arriving at that gate.

Chasing wealth out of America - the problem of government.
Writing in The American Spectator, Pete Ferrara has detailed the Left's tax plan under Barack Obama. The following website is an eye-opener.
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13769
What most Americans don't care to know is these policies only serve to chase capital (uh, like money) out of investment in America and off to other shores. It's popular to blame the Bush Administration. Or China. Or who ever else. How about we blame ourselves?
During World War II we were the richest nation on the face of the earth. Why? Because investors world wide trusted us. We were stable and strong. Their money was safe from invaders and from their mistrusted, unstable governments or the governments of neighboring nations who had a history of invasion. They knew government was the problem, not the solution. That truism still exists.
American media has become infiltrated by those who support the views of the Left. Not good for free enterprise and nations who support the concept of freedom.
