[quote who="Jythier" reply="63" id="3271094"]So should a democrat fire his republican employees?[/quote] If the Republican candidate spoke out specifically against, and formulated policy against the business? HELL YES! I wouldn't blame them a bit.
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="59" id="3271076"]No. That person is still free to vote any way he/she wishes. No one can be forced to provide employment to anyone, and an employer can hire and fire at will, as long as it's not based on race, sex, creed, religion, color, or national origin.[/quote] I don't own a small business, but today I took personal measures to stop supporting a non-profit that is essentially in bed with Dems.

[quote who="Jythier" reply="57" id="3271064"]That's voter intimidation and it's illegal in the United States.[/quote] No, it is not. Voter intimidation is about SUPPRESSING the vote. NOT protecting people from their bad choices.

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="51" id="3271025"]I think it's total crap that half the country supports the lying, corrupt sack of shit in the White House only because he's the Candy Man. Just resist the on-the-job high 5's, don't wear your Obama shirt/hat/button to work and you'll be fine.[/quote] Fat chance. Obama-bots are notoriously PROUD OF IT! [quote who="Jythier" rep
[quote who="Jythier" reply="50" id="3271012"]I think it's total crap to fire people because of who they supported or voted for.[/quote] Why? Actions have consequences. Period. If someone WORKS for a small company, and they know Obama will kill small companies....what's the problem? They went into the vote eyes wide open, KNOWING what would happen. Why should a business owner kee

I still have my job, my government subsidies, etc. The stock market is for rich people who vote for Romney.[/quote] It might be funny if that isn't EXACTLY how some people think.

[quote who="Jythier" reply="43" id="3270903"]Just now?[/quote] Yeah. I always allowed myself to believe that when the country faced a crisis, natural, war, terrorism, fiscal cliff, Americans would link arms and face it. Turns out only half of America would face it. While the other half are at their backs shoving them off the cliff.

[quote who="Anthony R" reply="13" id="3268867"]Well, in Alaska you need to be able to care for yourself because its a frontier. In the case of Hurricane Sandy, some people have been dealt really bad cards. Where I live on the Jersey Shore some people have been totally wiped out. The storm surges destroyed some homes and those people do need some help because they have suffered total loss. I feel pretty bad for the people who still have no power and those who have totally lost their homes and
[quote who="Anthony R" reply="11" id="3268735"]Rugged individualism was an American ideal from its founding, but somehow it turned to a bunch of whiny souls clinging to the officials elected in Government. Thats why so many people struggle so mightily in disasters like the one we are currently dealing with on the east coast. No one prepares for these things with lanterns, flashlights, batteries, gasoline, foods such as peanut butter and jelly, rice, pasta, and tons of stuff in cans and bottle

Wow. You paint such a vivid picture BFD. I actually felt the tension of that scene. Powerful stuff. PTSD, well, I haven't always been as circumspect as I should about it.
