Industries to Avoid, Industries to Buy

Mike Stathis--THIS IS THE BEST SUMMARY OF THE MODERN AMERICAN CONDITION I have seen!

Don't listen to the Purple Kool-Aid drinkers on this forum.

Most are part of the 18% "DEAD ENDERS"--people who support a DEAD and DYING regime.

They can only see to the end of their noses! If something doesn't affect them---THEY CANNOT SEE IT!

Plain and simple--these losers are STUCK IN THE 80'S.

The 80's were all about "ME".

Me. My family, My neighborhood. My religion. My friends. My political party. My church. My interest groups. My investments.

"Me, me, me". It's all about Me to "these people".

Their eyes are closed to all but the most hate-filled ideology that they have been brainwashed with for the past 27 years.

They put their interests, their political party's interests ahead of America's interests.

One example--the Constitution says THERE SHALL BE NO RELIGIOUS TEST OF A CANDIDATE.

Guess what?

They fall all over themselves trying to GIVE A RELIGIOUS TEST TO A POLITICAL CANDIDATE'S preacher.

We can all agree--a religious test for a political candidate is UN-AMERICAN.

That doesn't stop them. They put the interests of the Republican Party ahead of America.

According to Howard Dean, the Democrats are going to teach them a lesson this November:

THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA COME BEFORE THE INTERESTS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

And when it happens, I'll be laughing all the way to the bank!
Guess what?

Boeing Cleared for Takeoff

As a Boeing subcontractor, I personally know that Boeing is a quality operation and they didn't "blow it".

The customer (USAF/Pentagon) gave Boeing the RFP and along the way rigged the RFP scoring to favor Northrop/EADS.

The incoming SoD Gates bowed to pressure from McCain to change the language in the RFP to allow EADS--who was being sued for illegal trade subsidies--to even submit a bid.

As far as I can tell, the whole process was rigged by political appointees, who intentionally threw the award to please a future political candidate for President.

As far as Boeing's future prospects, the new 787 Dreamliner is a superior product and is sold out until at least 2015.

I think there will be politcal pressure to freeze the money for the contract award. It's just too far out and radical to give jobs and military technology to our Euro friends, especially when there's a looming recession/depression right here at home--where those jobs will be desparately needed in the next few years.
