Hello John,   
      
    LL>> President Obama saved the auto industry,   
      
   JM>He saved the auto workers UNION   
      
   If a company goes belly-up, there are no longer any   
   employees, hence no more union to represent them.   
      
    LL>> kept the economy as a whole from tanking,   
      
   JM>Horse shit   
      
   We had another Great Depresseion?  When did that happen?   
   Certainly not on Obama's watch...   
      
   LL>and offed Osama bin Laden.   
      
   JM>The Seals offed Bin Laden   
      
   Thanks to President Obama giving them the order.   
   Quite unlike your chickenhawk pResident who let ObL   
   get away at Tora Bora...   
      
    LL>> Every nigger on the street knows they have a friend in Obama.   
    LL>> You don't believe me?   
      
   JM>NO   
      
   Except for Herman Cain.   
      
    LL>> Firing employees because of who they voted for is the most   
    LL>> stupidest reason (if one can call such a thing a reason) an   
    LL>> employer could do.  Why would an employer care who an employee   
    LL>> voted for,   
      
   JM>If the person they voted for is anti-capitalism and will directly   
   JM>hurt the business why keep them?   
      
   Why should an employer give a rat's ass what the politics of   
   an employee might or might not be?  As long as an employee does   
   quality work that should be all that matters.  As well as all   
   an employer should care about.   
      
    LL>> In Louisiana, employers do not have to give a reason in order to fire   
    LL>> an employee.  However, that is not the issue.  I am not questioning an   
    LL>> employer's "right" to fire an employee.  What I am saying is that it is   
    LL>> extremely stupid for an employer to fire an employee on the basis of   
    LL>> who that employee voted for or intended to vote for.   
      
   JM>And I say it is a valid reason because it shows poor judgment on   
   JM>their part.  In fact it shows down outright stupidity.   
      
   It shows extremely poor judgment on an employer's part to dismiss   
   employees on the basis of what their politics might or might not be.   
      
    LL>> Voting is a Constitutional right,   
      
   JM>The Supreme Court says you do not have a Constitutional right   
   JM>to vote for President.   
      
   The U.S. Constitution says voting is a right, not a privilege.   
   Regardless of what rightwing nutjobs might say or want.  As you   
   know, people vote for electors, not directly for President.   
   This is all spelled out in the U.S. Constitution.  You should   
   read it sometime.   
      
    LL>> But hey.  I guess that is the only way Republicans think they can   
    LL>> win.  Suppress the vote.   
      
   JM>You mean like Democrats suppress the military vote?   
      
   Karl Rove and his cronies certainly tried their best to suppress   
   the vote.  But it didn't work quite as well as they intended...   
      
   LL>But one thing I cannot do is fix stupid.   
      
   JM>That' s clear or you would have fixed yourself.   
      
   Why would I want to fix perfection?   
      
    JM>> So you think it's stupid to try and save the jobs of 49 others by   
    JM>> letting 5 people go?   
      
    LL>> I was being nice.  Rather than stupid, I find it downright racist.   
    LL>> As would most, if not all, decent people.   
      
   JM>Calling someone or something racist no longer means anything.   
      
   Kanye West called GWB a racist.  Not me.  In any event, you might   
   not find such words as meaning anything.  However, GWB said he was   
   greatly offended that Kanye West called him a racist, emphatically   
   stating "I'm not a racist!"  Of course, all those black folks who   
   had lost their homes and belongings in New Orleans did not believe   
   him.  Any guesses why?   
      
   JM>You leftist have seen to that.   
      
   I'm not a leftist.  I'm a patriot.  What are you?
