The US Chamber of Commerce is working against America

[nadinbrzezinski]

that is a good way to put it.

This is actually one thing that is connected to the fire, privatizing schools, and I could go on.

This is the way things are these days... wake up and smell the coffee folks, there are people actually WORKING against you and me.

[JuniperLea]

1. I've noticed that in political ads in CA

They are funding a lot of them, and I do not agree with one ballot measure they endorse.

What's the deal with them giving out a phone number for the office of the person or measure they are bashing? I have this sick feeling this is a technicality that helps them in some way. Do you have any ideas?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. No clue, but 23 is a really bad thing

jesus age what this people will do for money!

Yep that fire is related to this... it is a world view.

[Qutzupalotl]

12. I think they expect people to flood their phone lines with angry calls.

The rationale being that if you're forced to play defense, you can't plan an effective offense, or do much of anything.

[blm]

2. Its purpose has been to push Global Fascist Agenda famously coined by Poppy Bush as New World Order

.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. They are MUCH older than Poppy, or for that matter

his dad Prescott.

[blm]

17. They were coopted by BushInc decades ago with a purpose of making fascism acceptable

to Americans. In the 70s and 80s the Chamber reached out to form alliances with other nations, like the US-China Chamber of Commerce which Prescott Bush headed for many years.

The GOP is older than Poppy Bush, as well, but, he and his cronies managed to coopt THAT for their NWO agenda, too.

3. Ed Schultz just covered this. How could it be any more clear that Republicans are traitors nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Yeah why I posted it

it was as close to the phrasing. I thought the frame was BRILLIANT.

[HughMoran]

4. Yep, they are criminal traitors

Who are somehow able to get away with traitorous behavior without consequence.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. And until they face the music this will continue

[leveymg]

6. SCOTUS was well aware of that when the GOP majority ruled in the Citizens United decision

to allow Multinational Corporations and foreign investors full "personhood" under the First Amendment.

Welcome to America. It's not ours, anymore.

The Dem "liberals" in power and the GOP "patriots" don't even have the guts to pass a law to the contrary. If they did, we could take this back to court and might get a different ruling. F-ck 'em.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. It is going to come to a revolution sooner or later

and it will not be pretty.

Hell I expect the civil war... and once the shooting starts... I cannot predict where it will go. But I expect it.

[dimbear]

13. More likely and hopeful: one more or several more liberals on the court.

A big big reason to vote Dem. Maybe the biggest of them all.

[flamingdem]

15. If they can have legal recourse Obama will make it happen, this is a priority for him nt

He's a constitutional scholar...

[arbusto_baboso]

11. The louder they procliam their patritotism, the more egregious their treason is.

That's why I never trust people who fly flags from their cars, or wear conspicuous crosses around their necks. The values they LIVE are almost always the opposite of what they advertise.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Almost, I t got a support troops on truck

mostly hubby is a retired troop

:-)

[B Calm]

16. Getting money from the RED CHINESE to overthrow America. TRAITORS!

[MadHound]

18. The C of C has been working against America for years and decades,

They're just becoming more open about it now. But they've always been the money behind a lot of RW fringe nuttery.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Again this is MUCH older

than poppy. If you made the argument that they finalized it, correct, but this has a long history... at this point opver 100 years. In fact, well before Musolini came around and created the system... robber barons old in fact.

The US Chamber has always been quite regressive.

[blm]

20. of course, but, even iconic organizations get coopted - look at the Republican Party of Lincoln,

coopted by fascism.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. You think Robber Barons were progressives?

these guys are going back to their roots.

[blm]

22. not at all...but, Old Prescott, then Poppy and his pals pals morphed the party into full on fascism

that resulted in the ProFascist Supreme Court and its fascist rulings.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. You might want to read on Robber Barons

I am serious....

[blm]

26. ?? I'm not saying fascists are different than robber barons. I grew up in Ohio and am quite familiar

with Standard Oil and its business practices - it used to be a must learn back in my school days. Cleveland used to be an extremely important city in this country, with 70% of the entire nation's industry within a 500 mile radius of Cleveland up until about 40 years ago. Just about any Clevelander from my generation could discuss what went down with Rockefellers and Hannas.

24. You can thank USCOC's head honcho Tom Donohue

for what the COC has devolved into:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2010/1007.verini.html

He's a real piece of work.

:evilfrown:

[flamingdem]

25. rec

[blm]

27. yep...Donohue's a longtime political crony for BushInc. and its fascist agenda.
