Must not criticize Obama (again)

We read:
"Bill Looman is the owner of U.S. Cranes L.L.C., a Waco, Georgia-based company that sells and services cranes and hoists. He has apparently found it difficult to hire new workers because of the dramatic increase in governmental regulations placed upon small businesses in recent years, and the overall sluggishness of the economy.

Not being able to expand one’s business is an unfortunate thing. But being harassed because you dare to speak your mind about current economic conditions is something different. And it wasn’t until Bill the crane shop owner actually went public with his assessment that our government was impinging on his business, that things got really dicey.

Six months ago, Looman began posting signs on his company vehicles which read “New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone.” This wasn’t a political statement from Looman, so much as it was a statement about the current business and economic climate, and his belief that things won’t improve until Barack Obama exits the presidency. "I've got people that I want to hire now, but I just can't afford it,” Looman noted in a recent television interview. “And I don't foresee that I'll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C."

According to Looman, initial reaction to this message was mostly favorable – responses were positive by about a ’20 to 1” ratio, he claimed. But last week, a photo of one of these signs went viral on the internet. This led Bill the crane owner to temporarily shut-off his telephones, Facebook account, and company website, to protect himself from a barrage of threatening calls and web postings.

For far too many Americans Bill’s “right to free speech” (and yours and mine as well) ends, where Barack Obama’s agenda begins. The President has told small businesses to hire, so they should hire; the President has said that conditions are right for hiring, and one ought not to disagree with him.

One can assume those hostile and threatening calls are from liberal supporters of Obama.

Once again they show their inability to deal with opposition to the liberal plan for the U.S., reality, and the concept of rational and respectful discourse.
Their motto seems to be, "Agree with us completely or shut up."

Heaven help this country if the liberal administration remains in power.

Mr. Looman had better be careful, since he could be seen as a "terrorist". In fact, so could most of you. This is what happens when the people of a formally free nation become weak, gullible sheep.

A good reason to appoint a head of state above and beyond the nastiness of party politics - as is done in many countries.

It's funny that someone who has never run a business or had to meet a payroll has the gall to tell business owners when they should hire employees.

He might find himself on the bad end of a swat team raid like Gibson had to suffer. My bet there is at least a small handful of federal laws that he has violated among the 5400 crimes the feds have installed. If not the FBI, the IRS might be after him. If not the IRS he needs to look out for the leftists, from the National Socialists to the Bolsheviks leftists tend to deal with opposing views with violence.

As a citizen of a monarchy I second that

The Queen does a most admirable job

Yes the Queen of Australia/Britain/Canada etc. And of course there are other constitutional monarchies as in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands - doing valuable work as a unifying, non-political symbol of their countries.
