Burlington Derailed — The Continuing Story

29 July

Dresser Rand Receives Pay Concession


Spike,

Just heard that Dresser Rand and the the union just voted to take a dollar an hour away! Wonder what the city and chamber think about giving them $1 mil for the dump on Central Street?!

I know that the criminals have been approved for flood money for the property $1 mil., and they over paid about $800 Thou for it!

Now it seems that Dresser Rand is in financial trouble and is taking money from people that work for a living in Burlington, Iowa!

Wonder if Supervisor Heland will take a dollar from the county employees?! Or not, because the raise they got last year was more than a dollar!

Heland just got bad news today it seem the county will have to buy the houses in the flood zone and cap wells and septic tanks to the EPA satisfaction! Where will Heland get the money?! OH Yeah RAISE TAXES!

The Rangel Effect on Democrats

What About Dave?


Spike,

"Oldaker lawyer Phu Hunyh is also the treasurer for a fundraising committee called the "Rangel Victory Fund." This is different from Rangel's principle campaign committee ("Rangel for Congress") and Rangel's PAC ("National Leadership PAC"). The treasurer of those two committees is Basil Paterson, father of New York Gov. David Paterson, a former union boss, and now a senior member of a law firm that also lobbies."

Charlie Rangel will get the best legal defense money can buy. Charlie needs all the help his corrupt little butt can get.

What about those who depended on Charlie's help in the past?

Our Congressman Loebsack got $5,000 from Charlie to insure Dave would "represent us." The Nutty Professor is in trouble this year. If not Charlie himself, will Charlie's friends still have enough cash left to help Dave?

Government Doesn't Fix Anything


Spike:

Arizona has something like 70 to 90 miles within its borders that are very dangerous for Americans. The government has posted signs expressing the dangers of entering portions of Arizona because of drug runners, criminals and illegal persons who seem to think it’s their right to sneak into the United States since our federal government doesn’t care to protect or enforce our constitution.

I wonder what part of this oath Mr. Obama fails to understand: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States

I wonder what could be so hard for him to understand when he took his oath of office. Come on Barry someone like you should understand what you said when sworn in or did your Harvard education leave out American History and the Constitution.

Then we have the congress whose oath is: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Our congress doesn’t seem to understand their oath either because they fail to protect the citizens of America from illegal aliens swarming across our borders at will and stealing American jobs under the false “Americans won’t do those jobs” lie. Not only do they steal American jobs but they lower the entire wage system by working for substandard wages and living off of the American taxpayers through our government both local and state, our schools, our charities and the list just goes on and on.

I think we need to rid ourselves of the Harvard myth that assumes if someone went to Harvard their well educated and bright. I see nothing in Obama or any of his tax cheater appointees that would make me believe the Harvard myth at all. From what I’ve seen the best coming out of Harvard is their ability to scam their way into government positions while never excelling in anything including their positions in government. How long will Americans continue to be duped by this Harvard myth of excellence in education?

By the way these invaders of our country are just trashing Arizona with their tons of litter thrown throughout the desert. Remember these are uneducated people and have never been taught respect for anything having to do with the environment. They pose a greater risk to the environment than global warming (another myth). Maybe, “Unable to keep it in his pants” Al Gore could make them understand what a garbage can is for.

This can be seen in and around Burlington with our new citizens who just throw trash wherever they finish with the container. Just take a look around 1626 Dodge at all the trash strewn about the yard and street, third world right here in Burlington.

Obamamobile - The Edsel Rides Again


Spike,

"Although the prices are high, enthusiasts say that electric cars can reach a large, untapped market for vehicles with little or no tailpipe emissions."

The government bailed out General Motors. In return, GM has produced the Obamamobile. It is indicative of the idiocy that demanded it.

Costing $41,000 with a $7,500 tax credit that must be made up somehow, you could get a 4 wheel drive pick up truck for less. Like Obamacare, it is an expensive piece of touchy feely seat coverings that nobody wants.

Who will buy it?

Watch your local government budgets. The Obamamobile sounds like something Supervisor Heland would make Des Moines County purchase. These vehicles will save all the cottonwood trees along Flint Creek. Tourists will then flock to see Stars Cave Nature Center and we will all have jobs.

Heland's logic makes as much sense as an Obamamobile.

Robert McNamara went from the Edsel at Ford Motor Company to producing the Vietnam War under Lyndon Johnson. Now that Barry has given us the Obamamobile, what's next?

R. E. O.

Heland will need the industrial version.

Let My Illegals Vote


Spike,

"More than 550 people plan to ride on 11 buses to Arizona to stage a protest and launch a partnership with Arizona groups to boost voter registration. During the one-day trip, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, participants will meet with Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris, march to the state Capitol and hold a vigil."

Liberals are upset with Arizona. Arizona is enforcing the law on illegal aliens. If the illegal aliens go home, how will they vote for liberals?

Of course, only American citizens are supposed to vote. Remove the safe guards to protect a citizen's vote from being canceled by an illegal alien's vote. It is much easier to do so in Iowa these days.

Thanks to Senator Courtney and his comrades, Iowa has same day voter registration. Flood the polling places. Create a back log. Harried poll workers expediting the process may not catch illegal aliens, felons, nor others who should not be voting.

Wave flags and expound platitudes found in grade school Civics text books. Claim any who demand protecting the ballot by rightful process are racist Nazis trying to subvert democracy.

All the ranting against enforcing immigration laws has nothing to do with compassion for aliens here illegally. It has everything to do with keeping liberals in power to continue taxing and spending.

More On Obama's Inner Circle of Radicals


"WARNING: Incredibly annoying radical/hippie speak ahead. On Monday night, we learned about the Weatherman manifesto from 1969 and how they and other likeminded revolutionaries are now in very powerful positions. If you miss anything go to GlennBeck.com and read the manifesto. The authors recognized the typical historical progression of revolution that usually takes two steps. The first step was to set up, in their words, a "dictatorship" of a "new democracy" - a key word- a compromise between the poor and working classes. Then, out of the "new democracy" develops socialism.
