Racists Very Upset Over Interracial Family in Cute Cheerios Commercial

Racists Very Upset Over Interracial Family in Cute Cheerios Commercial

My guest columnist, LILVOKA, later will analyze the motivations behind the bigots and racists hatred toward the innocent family Cherrios ad.

Me(La Reyna) thinks they're taking out on the interracial couple because of most right-wing racists' hatred of President Obama, who is biracial like the little girl in the commercial.  It's a sad commentary in 2013, interracial couples and families are still subjected to racist insults and assaults by the larger community and, I'm going to say it, right-wing Conservatives and Liberal whites as well.  Let's not get this twisted that white liberals are so above racism and white privilege.  They're not.

What are your thoughts?

Conservatives: [Republicans] Drop The Kumbaya Act!

File:Phyllis-schlafly-2007-03 cc.jpg
The crazy old lady warns Republicans to drop the act of trying to win Blacks and Hispanics.

You could be a member of the Republican Party if your only goal in life is to keep Blacks and Hispanics away from the polls. You would throw your crap on the wall claiming that Blacks support President Barack Obama because of race, and the Hispanics are illegal immigrants. You concluded that Blacks and Hispanics want to make babies so they could get "gubmint" entitlements.

In other words, Republicans and their conservative allies believe that the White race is declining because of these "parasites" taking out of the taxpayer's pockets and that Nigger Obama is allowing this.

The Republicans don't want Black and Hispanic women to have abortions.

The Republicans don't want Black and Hispanic families to get food stamps and welfare.

The Republicans don't like it that Blacks and Hispanics vote on race. Yet, perennial loser Mitt Romney had a strong turnout of White voters.

The Republicans want to pass legislation that require voters to have a state issued identification to prevent voter fraud in a minority precinct.

The Republicans don't want Blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims to own firearms. Some Republicans believe that violence in America is caused by the entertainment industry (i.e. rap music, video games and movies).

Republicans want to attack President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Attorney General Eric Holder, and UN Secretary Susan Rice. They attack the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by claiming that he supported the policies of the modern day Republican Party.

The Republicans advocate racism through their associates. These individuals King Hippo, Crazy JonesThat Guy Who Helped Obama Win, The Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall, The Palin Da Ass, The Turd Flipper, Bill-O, and Chalk E Becker are part the junk food media. These paid agitators openly advocate violence and hatred of the Black and Hispanic communities.

Our friends over at Addicting Info found a nice little article about that crazy old lady who founded the Eagle Forum. She issued a warning to Republicans. The crazy old lady wants Republicans to drop any attempts to pass immigration reform.

Her words: The Hispanics who come in like this are going to vote Democrat. There isn't the slightest bit of evidence that they are going to vote Republican. The people the Republicans should reach out to are the white votes — the white voters who didn't vote in the last election. There are millions of them. I think when you have an establishment-run nomination system, they give us a series of losers, which they've given us with Dole, McCain, and Romney and they give us people who don’t connect with the grassroots.

So if you're looking at this comment, you notice that the crazy old lady is blaming the three former Republican nominees for being too easy on winning the rainbow instead of the White vote.

If she really want to have a honest discussion to why these three candidates lost.

Richard Nixon was the Vice President. He lost the U.S. Presidential Election the first time. He went on to win the presidency in two election victories. He ended up resigning at the peak of a scandal.

George H.W. Bush lost to Ronald Reagan in the Republican nomination. He would later become the Vice President of the United States. Bush would later lose to Bill Clinton.

Perennial loser Bob Dole lost as a vice presidential candidate. He lost to George H.W. Bush in the Republican nomination. Dole would eventually lose to incumbent president Bill Clinton.

Perennial loser John McCain lost the Republican nomination to George W. Bush. He lost to Barack Obama in a landslide election.

Perennial loser Mitt Romney lost to John McCain in the Republican nomination. He lost to incumbent president Barack Obama.

So in other words, this crazy old lady wants to ignore the fastest minority group in the nation. Forget Hispanics, Republicans only need white voters.

This is your Republican Party people. This stuff is why they're losing the elections. It's fossils like this crazy old woman who keep the Republican Party the condescending, the sexist, the homphobic, the Islamophobic, the racist, and down right stupid people most American liberals paint them out to be.

Abercrombie & Fitch Couldn't Cut The Cloth!

CEO of suburban clothing giant pissed off a whole lot of people this month. He makes a bold statement saying he discriminates against overweight Americans. His company has issues with hiring non-White workers also.

New York-based clothing company is facing a serious backlash after the company CEO made some offensive comments that come off as sexist and racist.

Abercrombie & Fitch is one of the country's largest clothing retailers. It's part of the Limited Brands, a company that's based out of Columbus, Ohio suburb New Albany.

Mike Jeffries, the eccentric CEO of the company is under fire for saying that bigger people are not allowed in his clothing. The company's executives are stressing that the CEO's lover is the real reason for why the company is experiencing some heavy criticism.

Bloomberg News first reported on Jeffries' unconventional 1986 standards for his cabin-crew on Abercrombie's Gulf-stream G-V Jet.

The male-models who work as stewards aboard the company jet are required to wear Abercrombie-branded polos, jeans, boxer-briefs and flip-flops as part of their uniform, as well as a "spritz" of cologne.
Actress Kristie Alley struggled through depression and overweight for years. She recently lost weight again. She and hundreds of others are boycotting Abercrombie and Fitch.
This information then came to light as a result of a lawsuit that claimed Jeffries fired his own jet pilot in order to replace him with a much younger-man.

Male house staff for Jeffries, paid for by the Jeffries Family Office, is provided by the exact same modeling firm that supplies male-staff for the company-jet.

ABC News reports that Jeffries is on the hot seat after the popular style chain is accused of discriminating against overweight customers, making clothes only for the thin.

At your nearest Abercrombie and Fitch, you can find shirtless salesmen and the latest distressed denim, but if you're looking for a women's extra-large blouse, you're out of luck. The trendy retailer's CEO doesn't want your business.

"He's been very, very successful, so he doesn't want anybody in the store that doesn't fit that cool, young and sexy definition," said Robin Lewis, co-author of "The New Rules of Retail."

Lewis says it's all part of CEO Mike Jeffries' master plan to cultivate what he considers cool.

An exam of the Abercrombie flagship store in New York City found mostly double-zeros, and extra-smalls and a couple of large tops and size 10 pants. Sales people there confirmed Abercrombie doesn't carry XL or XXL for women.

A spokesperson for Abercrombie and Fitch declined to comment, but in a 2006 interview CEO Jeffries told Salon magazine: "We go after the attractive all-American kid. A lot of people don't belong in our clothes, and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

"He is a brilliant visionary," Lewis said. "He really crystallized this core consumer he was going after."

But Lewis says it's a model that may not fit the future. Plus-sized shoppers now make up 67 percent of consumers.

"I think the young people today want cool, but as they define it themselves," Lewis said.

From Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign - highlighting real women - to H&M's inclusion of plus-sized swimsuit model Jennie Runk, many other brands are embracing that individualism and making their clothes more accessible. For example, rival retailers H&M and American Eagle both carry sizes up to 16 and 18 The largest at Abercrombie & Fitch is a 10.

Kirstie Alley was totally pissed. Rebecca Jarvis of ABC News reports that the actress joins the list of Abercrombie & Fitch critics who take exception to the company’s refusal to carry clothing in larger sizes.

The Former “Cheers” actress and “Dancing With the Stars” competitor slammed the store Tuesday, telling “Entertainment Tonight” she would “never buy anything from Abercrombie.”

The popular casual-clothing retailer is under fire for filling its shelves with products for the smallest of customers.

Protestors gathered outside the retailer’s Michigan Avenue store in Chicago Monday, outraged about the store’s not carrying clothes in a size 14,  the size worn by the average U.S. woman. Plus-size shoppers now make up 67 percent of U.S. consumers.

“It’s body discrimination, and it’s bullying and it encourages bullying,” Cali Lindstrom, a former Abercrombie & Fitch customer, told ABC News.

The backlash is growing online on Twitter and Facebook, and several petitions on Change.org urge people not to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch until the New Albany, Ohio-based retailer starts carrying larger sizes.

One YouTube user started a “Fitch the Homeless Campaign,” asking customers to rebrand the popular retailer by giving their Abercrombie & Fitch clothes to the homeless.

An ABC News report last week revealed that the trendy retailer carries mostly double-zero and extra-small sizes inside its New York City flagship store. There was no clothing for women in sizes larger than a 10, and salespeople at the store confirmed that Abercrombie doesn’t carry XL or XXL sizes for women.

Andrea Neusner and her three daughters are taking more extreme measures to show their dissatisfaction with the retailer. They’re sending every article of clothing they’ve ever bought from the store back to its outspoken and controversial CEO, Mike Jeffries.
Mike Jeffries and his boyfriend require male models to look like this.
Jeffries has not commented on the recent controversy but has been forthright in the about not wanting any customers who don’t fit the cool, young and sexy demographic the company targets.

Jeffries gave a 2006 interview to Salon magazine in which he said the store goes after “the attractive, all-American kid … A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

The retailer declined to comment on the protests.

Nicole Patrick, who was among the protesters in Chicago, said she is hurt by the exclusion.

“As a woman who cannot shop in Abercrombie, it’s extremely hurtful to hear that I’m not cool,” she said. “I think I’m really cool and so does my daughter.”

In addition to sending back her children’s clothes, Neusner also wrote a letter to Jeffries explaining her decision.

“My kids have been wearing [Abercrombie & Fitch] clothes for a long time … now we can make an informed choice not to shop there,” she told ABC News. “I didn’t want my kids being walking billboards for them but I didn’t want to throw [the clothes] away. I wanted the company to know how I felt about them.”

Limbaugh: Obama The Master, Christie The Servant!

Still bitching about President Barack Obama, the conservative agitator takes aim at his appearance with New Jersey governor Chris Christie. The agitator invokes the 18th Century phrase "master servant".

Conservative agitators are fumed up with the Republican governor Chris Christie of New Jersey.

King Hippo rumbling through his stack of stuff. He takes a moment to look into the daily ramblings off The Guy Who Throw Shit On The Wall's website and see the bromance between the president and the Republican governor.

In the minds of the conservatives, Christie is not viable among the Republican presidential candidates due to his association to that "Communist" Barack Obama.

King Hippo managed to take a dig at the two. President Barack Obama goes to New Jersey to check on the progress of the Jersey Shore. Last year, Hurricane Sandy, a superstorm that destroyed most of New Jersey's coastline.
Republicans are steamed at New Jersey governor Chris Christie. The governor defeats Republican arguments that the president is too partisan. Christie throws cold water on Republican arguments about President Barack Obama,
The president and federal assistance immediately came to the aid of victims, and Governor Chris Christie praised the rapid response. That was considered treasonous to the Republican Party.

The perennial loser Mitt Romney "was leading" in the polls and he would had nailed it, if Christie didn't "bear hug" Obama.

On Tuesday's show, the conservative agitator runs his mouth about the president and Republican governor.

KING HIPPO: Let me tell you what this bipartisanship is, the president and Governor Christie taking another stroll on the beaches of New Jersey. Never mind, folks, that seven months after Hurricane Sandy there are still a lot of people that haven’t been helped. That’s not the point. Oh, no, no! Seven months after the hurricane came and went, there are still a lot of people who haven’t been helped.

But the point is that Obama and Christie want to help. They really want to help! They really want this to be fixed and solved. So it is a case of the good intentions overwhelming any of the results. The good intentions matter far more than the results. Now, this bipartisanship that the media is salivating over? There isn’t any bipartisanship here. Obama has money. Governor Christie wants the money, Governor Christie needs the money, so the people will be helped. So Christie praises Obama.

It’s a master-servant relationship. That’s exactly the kind of bipartisanship that the Drive-By Media wants. Master-servant. That’s “bipartisan” That’s what’s going on here. (interruption) Master-SERVANT. Master-STAFF. Don’t take it any further than that, Snerdley. I’m not going on going there. I’m just telling you. Obama’s got the money; Christie needs the money. “Obama wants to walk the beach; that’s what we’re gonna do. Obama wants a photo-op; it’s what we’re gonna do.”



Michele Bachmann Is Bouncing Off The Walls, Literally!

Controversial politico Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann announced she is leaving after her term ends. Many in the junk food media wonder if there's more to the story. She is under investigation by the FBI. 

Last night, the controversial politico announced that she is leaving the Congress. She is not seeking another term. The politico is a mainstream figure among the Republican Party and its Tea Party movement. She has been more of a nuisance to President Barack Obama due to her ongoing obsession to repeal his signature health care law. She is known to say pretty ignorant stuff. Only equaled to Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa).

Is there questions being raised about Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's (R-Minnesota) former run for president?

Here's the announcement.



The FBI is investigating her for misuse of federal campaign funds during her ill-fated 2012 Republican presidential primary run.

And the 6th Congressional District she represents in Minnesota is considered likely Republican. The suburban areas around the metroplex of Minneapolis/St. Paul is more conservative than the city.

Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) represents a majority of the Twin Cities.

The Republican must scramble for a candidate that is viable. The Democrats are relining up their former nominee Jim Graves.

But her constant camera rushing and misstatements have also doomed her if she was to run for reelection.

Chewing down at the Iowa State Fair.
The New York Times  Michael D. Shear reports that Bachmann made the announcement just six months after being re-elected in what was her most challenging Congressional campaign since she was first elected to the House in 2006. Her announcement also comes as her former presidential campaign faces inquiries into its fund-raising activities.

“I have decided next year I will not seek a fifth Congressional term,” she said in a video on her campaign Web site. “This decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries into the activities of my former presidential campaign or my former presidential staff,” she added.

Mrs. Bachmann is known for her strong anti-abortion stance and adherence to Tea Party values but her presidential campaign was marked by frequent stumbles and her candidacy failed to catch fire in a crowded field of candidates that included Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Herman Cain, who all eventually lost to Mitt Romney.

In her congressional race last year, Mrs. Bachmann won re-election by just 4,200 votes out of 356,000 votes cast, beating the hotelier Jim Graves, who was greatly outspent. Mr. Graves recently announced that he would seek the seat again.

“My decision was not in any way influenced by any concerns about my being re-elected to Congress,” she said. “If I ran I would again defeat the individual who I defeated last year.”

Her announcement comes as the Office of Congressional Ethics looks into claims by Ms. Bachmann’s former campaign aides that she may have improperly used money raised by one of her House-affiliated political action committees to help her presidential bid in the run-up to the Iowa presidential caucuses in January 2012. She came in sixth in that race, even though she campaigned heavily in the state. The defeat led her to pull out of the race the next day.

While her presidential bid initially excited Tea Party supporters, Mrs. Bachmann would later find herself upstaged by conservative opponents like Mr. Cain and Mr. Santorum, and she was prone to misstatements, including saying the vaccine against the human papillomavirus was linked to “mental retardation.”

But her campaign was not without impact. Her victory in the Ames, Iowa, straw poll in the summer of 2011 forced Tim Pawlenty, the former Republican governor of Minnesota, to drop out of the contest early, after he did poorly in his neighboring state.

In her video announcement, Mrs. Bachmann did not rule out returning to politics in the future.

“There is no future option or opportunity, be it directly in the political area or otherwise, that I won’t be giving serious consideration if it can help save and protect our great nation for future generations,” she said.
The Tea Party Queen is Resigning!
She also said she expected “the mainstream liberal media to put a detrimental spin” on her decision not to seek re-election, calling its attention to her political fortunes “a true compliment of my public service effectiveness.”

Ms. Bachmann had been a largely obscure member of Congress from Minnesota before the emergence of the Tea Party in 2010. She seized on the movement to brand herself a national voice of conservatives and become the leader of the “Tea Party Caucus” in the House.

In January of 2011, Ms. Bachmann delivered her own, unofficial “Tea Party” response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. She mocked the president’s fiscal policies and urged a repeal of the president’s health care plan known as Obamacare. But the brief, televised response prompted comedy sketches because of its low production values and because Ms. Bachmann appeared to be looking off to the side throughout her remarks.

The Tea Party response goes against the Republican response in which the party selects a Republican to deliver a counter proposal to President Barack Obama's State of The Union address (and Joint Session of Congress).

Let's go in the past and dig this gem up!

Without Michele Bachmann around, who will take the helm of the crazy train?

Well we still got Ted Cruz and oh that Rand Paul fella.

Here's the Tea Party Response by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota).

No Más George Zimmerman!

Only a fool would use a victim's past drug use as an excuse to justify the killing!

Idiot on trial for the death of Trayvon Martin can't use the "he's a thug" excuse.

The folks over at Loserville were posting the pictures of the teenagers smoking the weed and holding gun.

They're clearly trying to paint the victim as the aggressor and the one who started the fight. They're trying to say: "Well since [Trayvon Martin] was suspended from school, smoking weed, and taking pictures of holding a gun, there's proof he's a thug and [George Zimmerman] was defending himself from this thug."

This stuff isn't relevant in a second-degree murder charge. That was what the judge told the Zimmerman defense team. Basically, the judge said this isn't "evidence" and it's not going to be used in the trial.

So got any new plans?

What the Washington Post is reporting attorneys won’t be able to mention Trayvon Martin’s drug use, suspension from school and past fighting during opening statements at the trial of a former neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot the teen, a judge ruled Tuesday.

However, Circuit Judge Debra Nelson left open the possibility that the defense could try again later during the trial if it could show relevance.

George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the 17-year-old’s killing and has pleaded not guilty, saying he acted in self-defense. He did not attend Tuesday’s hearing.

In another key motion Nelson refused to allow jurors to travel to the shooting scene during trial, and rejected a defense request to delay the trial set to begin June 10.

The judge called the request to let jurors see the crime scene “a logistical nightmare.”

Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, said Nelson’s decisions would not affect how he presented his case.
Idiot and attorney Mark O'Mara gotten their advice from That Guy Who Helped Obama Win. Cause only an idiot would try to blame the victim for his death!
“We were hoping that we would have some limitations on people commenting upon information that is not yet relevant,” O’Mara said. “So the idea that the state will have to be careful about how they present their case — and certainly we’re going be careful about how we present ours — is exactly what we were hoping for.”

He acknowledged, however, that with the judge not delaying the trial the defense would “have a lot more work to do than we can get accomplished between now and June 10.”

The judge also ruled that some of the Martin’s texts and other social media statements won’t be allowed in opening statements, though it, too, could be allowed later with a ruling from the judge depending on how the case progresses.
Sybrina Fulton and Tracey Martin. They along with millions of others demand stricter background checks for firearms.

O’Mara told the judge that Martin’s marijuana use and past fighting was central to the argument that Zimmerman used self-defense when he confronted Martin last year at a gated community in Sanford, Florida.

“We have a lot of evidence that marijuana use had something to do with the event,” O’Mara said. “It could have affected his behavior.”

An attorney for Martin’s family, Benjamin Crump, said the teen’s parents were pleased with the judge’s rulings on information they consider immaterial to the February 2012 shooting.

“Trayvon Martin is not on trial,” Crump said.

The judge ruled against a defense request that the pool of 500 jury candidates be sequestered during jury selection. She said jurors will be referred to by their jury numbers and prohibited their faces from being photographed. Nelson denied a prosecution request for a gag order that would prohibit attorneys from talking about the case.

O’Mara said he is concerned potential jurors could be affected by publicity the case is receiving.

The defense attorney had asked to push back the trial date because he said prosecutors had delayed turning over evidence as required. O’Mara is seeking sanctions against prosecutors, but a hearing on those sanctions was delayed until next week.


Before the judge decided to postpone the hearing on sanctions, a former prosecutor who used to work in the same office as the attorneys prosecuting Zimmerman testified he had told O’Mara about photos and text messages from Martin’s cell phone that hadn't yet been turned over to the defense.

Former Assistant State Attorney Wesley White resigned last year from the State Attorney’s Office that covers northeast Florida.

Oh, no he didn't!

Marines Post Racist Rants About Obama!

Show discipline.

The United States Marines is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea, using the mobility of the United States Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. It is one of seven uniformed services of the United States. The Marine Corps is a component of the United States Department of the Navy, often working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics; however, the Marine Corps is a separate branch.

The best of the best. There's a report about some active duty Marines going to the social networks to disrespect the president. The U.S. Secret Service is investigating those involved in threats to the president.

But since the conservative rancor (namely from The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall) over the president getting umbrella service and the latest outrage over the president not saluting a Marine some are posting racist outrage about it.

Of course, President Barack Obama doesn't disrespect military. He's the Commander and Chief of the United States Armed Forces. He overseas the lives of men and women who serve in the military. He is responsible for every mission that is carried by the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

He has the utmost respect for those serving. And no matter what the president does, conservatives will find some issue about it. And some conservative are enlisted in the military.

This bullshit is being read by members of our military. There are some Marines who felt that their Commander-and-Chief shows lack of respect for their service.

Guess who tipped of the conservative agitators?










Despite the constant mentions by President Barack Obama about our men and women serving in the military,  the numerous talk about seeing the injured and the American draped coffins, some of our military members are solely getting their news from the conservative agitators of talk radio and Loserville.

Well there's a report from USA Today about a few Marines posting on the social networks threatening Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-California) and President Barack Obama.
Wonder how the Marines got the notion to attack President Barack Obama? 
The congresswoman is leading a coalition of representatives to tackle military sexual assaults.

USA Today reports that this incident comes at a time when top military officers say they are facing a crisis of sexual harassment and abuse within the ranks.

Federal law enforcement officials are investigating a former Marine and several active-duty Marines after they allegedly posted threatening and lewd messages on social media sites that targeted President Obama and a California congresswoman, according to a government official informed of the investigations.

The former Marine was interviewed last week by the Secret Service for the threatening post against President Obama, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigations are ongoing.

The Secret Service does not discuss its protective actions, said spokesman George Ogilvie.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-California)
Investigators from the U.S. Capitol Police have been investigating several threatening posts against Speier, the Capitol Hill source said. Capitol Police do not comment on their investigations.


Several Marines also have been referred to their commanders for non-judicial punishment in recent months, said Marine Capt. Eric Flanagan, a spokesman. That punishment can range from raking leaves to loss of rank to dismissal from the service, he said.

The Marines have received complaints about a number of social media sites, Flanagan said, including the Facebook page F'N Wook, which prompted Speier, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, to write letters of complaint to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos. Facebook took down the page, but similar postings have been made elsewhere.

Some of the posts suggest female Marines achieved their rank by performing sex, another shows a female Marine on her knees with a snake being put in her mouth. A recent post about Speier refers to her in vulgar terms and accuses her of trampling First Amendment rights.

Speier was targeted after her letter called attention to the posts, and she spoke out about what top military officers have described as a crisis with sexual harassment and abuse in its ranks. The Pentagon estimates that there were 26,000 instances of sexual abuse in the military last year, an increase of 35% compared with 2010.

A series of military sex scandals in recent weeks has underscored the problem: an Air Force officer in charge of sex abuse prevention programs awaits trial for his alleged drunken groping of a woman in Arlington, Va., not far from his Pentagon office; an Army sergeant first class is being investigated for running an alleged prostitution operation at Fort Hood; and an Army non-commissioned officer has been charged for allegedly videotaping nude cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

On Friday, Obama told graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy commencement in Annapolis, Md., that sexual assault and harassment had no part in today's military. Hagel expressed similar sentiments Saturday during the graduation ceremony at West Point.

Employers Will Cut Workers Hours To Avoid Obamacare!

This was the Latham Square Mall in Albany, New York. The mall was demolished in 2013. 
Greed over safety. Greed over happiness.

A good productive worker will show up at any given expense. When a worker calls off, the boss will call the most reliable worker to fill the void. The ones who the boss rely on will benefit from the hours given. The ones who are least productive will likely suffer the fate of losing hours due the employers' fears of Obamacare.

American businesses are trying to loophole the Affordable Health Care Reform law (aka Obamacare).

The employers are going to have ways to get to their bottom dollar. Of course at the expense of our dedicated workers (part time and full time) who build the stable of the middle class, the healthcare law's negative side effects will reign in upon 2014.

When unemployment numbers dropping, many Americans are searching for the jobs. Service jobs (i.e. retail,  food service, hospitality, and education) are plentiful. But are they paying good? Not really.

The service industry is the majority of America's job market. Manufacturing is downsizing and shipping out of the localities to other regions or places overseas.

The service industry provides the most employers so it's a requirement of the companies to provide health insurance to the employees. In order to eliminate the requirements under the law, they'll cut hours of part-time to avoid giving their employees health insurance.

The greed market is plentiful in our corporations.

Conservative business leaders want to punish the employees for their bitterness. The price paid when President Barack Obama won reelection they say. We'll save our money by laying off workers.

Not concerned about the worker's daily routine or family. Not concerned about their workers expenses or wages. Not concerned about the rising prices of food, gas, heating oil, water, public transportation fares, air travel, and electricity. As long as they can't own an island or an airplane, the conservative business leader will punish the company by letting workers go.

Somehow workplace discrimination is relevant when your boss tells you that if you vote for Barack Obama, you may loose your job. Somehow if the hours are getting cut and you're wondering how the heck you're losing hours, the boss will say that the business is slow and based on sales we give the hours.
History was made in 2010.
By cutting workers hours, its assured that dedication will drop immediately. The workers who are part-time will suffer first. Under the United States Occupational Safety and Health Adminstration (OSHA) the goal is to "assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance".

The New York Daily News reports that Obamacare may end up hurting many of the part-time workers the President had hoped it would help.

Under the far-reaching health care law, large employers are required to offer health insurance to part-time employees working at least 30 hours a week.

But that’s not how it’s played out.

Instead of granting insurance plans to part-time employees, a growing number of larger firms are actually cutting back on workers’ hours altogether, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In the process, the employers are stripping part-time workers not only of their ability to get company health insurance but of their much needed wages as well.

More than 2 million workers at large restaurant chains, retailers and a variety of other companies that employ more than 50 people across the U.S. are facing similar consequences.

The benefits of Obamacare helps bring down healthcare costs. The problems with Obamacare will be the employers who will cut your job in order to save their dollars.
Republicans lead the way to convince conservative business leaders to punish workers. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) is the most outspoken critic of Obamacare. She proposed eight bills that included a repeal of the president's signature health care law.
Republicans have put the fear of god in the legislation. They've tried over 30 times to repeal the law.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) is one of the leading advocates of repealing Obamacare.
Of course, she has no alternative nor a solution to solve the revolving door of health expenses.

All she wants to do is please the conservative agitators of talk radio, the blogs and Loserville.

The Republican Party has no replacement to health care reform. The president is willing to allow changes to the law, however he wants something that benefits the middle class not the greedy.

So what's your thoughts on the employers cutting hours to avoid Obamacare?

Is it good or bad?

We're waiting for your response.

Memorial Day!


We want to send our thanks to the men and women who fought for our freedoms. We wish those in active duty, our military veterans and the fallen a dedication to their service.

We are still in times of war.

Afghanistan will finally be over in 2014. The battles that the United States must face here and abroad require a great deal of military endurance and expediency.

And while those who volunteered to become our nation's heroes made sacrifices for our children, our wives, our husbands, our mothers and our fathers, you're always told: You'll never be forgotten.

This Memorial Day once again gives us the blessings for a good plate of barbecue, a nice swimming pool, a good drive on our nation's roads, and of course the start of summer. But while we're here in the United States having a day off from the daily routine, you always remember that our military serves 24/7.

If you have to time, say thanks to our brave heroes. The fallen will never be forgotten.

The people who serve in the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, the National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard deserve our thanks on this Memorial Day.
