Jones Act Union Deal

During the Hurricane Katrina debacle then President Bush gave a temporary waiver to the Jones Act that forbids ships of foreign registry to sail within the coastal water ways of the US.  The reason for this waiver was to assist in the clean up of an oil spill caused by the devastating hurricane. There are over 15 vessels available to assist in the skimming and gathering of surface oil that has plagued the southern gulf states.

For some reason or another these vessels  have not been asked or requested to assist in the worse oil spill in the history of the United States. Now you have to ask yourself why? Could it be that these vessels are unqualified for the extensive task?  No! These vessels have assisted in many other oil spill disasters in other locations in the world and performed at the top of their game.  So what may be the problems you ask?  The problem is President Obama’s Union affiliation.  There is no way that these ships that are designed for this type of work will ever be employed.  Union protection, these vessels of foreign registry are non union.  The unions will be protected at all costs.  Yes, at all costs.  No matter who has to suffer job loss or loss of lively hood Mr. Obama’s unions will take priority. This is wrong, no matter who you are.

This administration’s views are dedicated to one  thing and one thing only.  Organized labor, organized social justice, and  organized crime. Never let is be said that a good crisis or disaster shall not  be wasted in the name of political gains.  Nothing good will come from this oil spill, be it the environmental protection agency which now has more power than the president or just out and out criminal acts that no one will stand up to or report about. America is on the brink of financial disaster and the progressives just keep writing checks we can’t cash and taking away rights that we will never get back with out carrying a big stick.

SHOULD WE SEND MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN?

When we send our family members somewhere to fight a war, they should have every possible, tool, to win that war. In this case Afghanistan was left to swing in the wind for the last number of years. It is time to send whatever forces  it takes to win this war.
If we can’t win, then we shouldn’t go. We went, now do your job as Pres., Obama and back our people up immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it is to protect our troops and win.
