Tea Party Nation Urges Businesses To Stop Hiring In Order To Hurt Obama
Tea Party Nation sent to their members today a message from activist Melissa Brookstone urging businesspeople to "not hire a single person" to protest the Obama administration’s supposed "war against business and my country." Brookstone writes that business owners should stop hiring new employees in order to stand up to "this new dictator," the "global Progressive socialist movement," Hollywood, the media and Occupy Wall Street.

Brookstone writes:

Resolved that: The Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Senate, in alliance with a global Progressive socialist movement, have participated in what appears to be a globalist socialist agenda of redistribution of wealth, and the waging of class warfare against our constitutional republic's heritage of individual rights, free market capitalism, and indeed our Constitution itself, with the ultimate goal of collapsing the U.S. economy and globalizing us into socialism.

Resolved that: President Obama has seized what amount to dictatorial powers to bypass our Congress, and that because the Congress is controlled by a Progressive socialist Senate that will not impeach one of their kind, they have allowed this and yielded what are rightfully congressional powers to this new dictator.

Resolved that: By their agenda and actions, those in our government who swore oaths to protect and defend our Constitution have committed treason against the United States.

Resolved that: The current administration and Democrat majority in the Senate, in conjunction with Progressive socialists from all around the country, especially those from Hollywood and the left leaning news media (Indeed, most of the news media.) have worked in unison to advance an anti-business, an anti-free market, and an anti-capitalist (anti-individual rights and property ownership) agenda.



Resolved that: Our President, the Democrats-Socialists, most of the media, and most of those from Hollywood, have now encouraged and supported "Occupy" demonstrations in our streets, which are now being perpetrated across the globe, and which are being populated by various marxists, socialists and even communists, and are protesting against business, private property ownership and capitalism, something I thought I'd never see in my country, in my lifetime.

I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.

3. I stopped reading after "Democrat" Party
Amazing, but you can pretty much ignore a person as soon as you hear that mangled English come out of their mouths.

4. And we, the 99%, should simply
stop buying your cheap crap.

People need to buy from responsible and ethical businesses when possible.

5. What kind of fucknob calls a Republican a Socialist?
I pretty much stopped reading this fascist's screed after the first paragraph. What delusional horseshit - let's sabotage the economy because "President Commie"s in the White House. And "President Commie" would be anyone other than a complete white fascist pig.

Hey, everyone who says "find common ground with the Tea Partiers!" - as long as they a) love Reaganomics and b) keep spouting this Red-baiting, still-fighting-the-Cold-War bullshit, they can go pound sand.

6. Its well known tea pots actively want to destroy the country and it's economy
but I love how President Obama is referred to as a dictator for a global progressive socialist movement in cahoots with media, Hollywood and OWS.
If only. Too bad those forces are too busy fighting one another instead.

Hollywood...he he. Love it when I find myself involved in a conspiracy I knew nothing about.

11. Remove the political aspect, and this advice ALSO hurts customers

I was in customer relations for a very long time, and regardless of what any HR people may tell you about productivity and just-right staffing - UNDERSTAFFING leads to long lines, unanswered phones, lack of service, more accidents, employee frustation, double-shifts and shorter hours of operation and ultimately results in pisspoor customer service for any type of industr -- be it service or manufacturing.

What is WRONG with these people?

14. SO DUMB they'd put themselves out of business because of their hate and ignorance.
Well, big businesses and good retailers (like Ace hardware for instance) aren't as stupid as the author of the screed.

18. Comments are so stupid they're funny
Ignorance and semi-literacy abounds.

A few choice examples:



Roni Smith Comment by Roni Smith 6 hours ago

Bravo!!!!!! It is definitely time for the STRIKE. Actually, it is also time for Obama'sprogram to put him in jail. He is using the people's taxes to campaign. In supporting his campaign he buys a Canadian Bus to cart him around. Why not an American made bus? And why not a rental, that he could pay for with his own money? Why can he spend 10 million dollars this year alone for vacations. How can his wife spend for designer clothes and jewelry while the American people worry about how to feed their families. Why this class war? the answers are simple enough...He wants to destroy this country, and the school and Banks are riding in his back pocket. I would suggest that inspectors invade the classrooms and llisten to what's being taught. Teachers teaching Socialistic lessons should be stripped of their teaching degrees.And I suggest trying Obama in court for what he is doing, and strip him of his pension and healthcare. Let him go to jail, or get a nongovernment JOB.

******************************
Ronisue.

LandisRogers Comment by LandisRogers 6 hours ago
As a self-employed small businessman I delcare that I will not invest (and risk) in anything new and have done this since Obama was elected until he and his ilk are removed from office. I too, will not support any hollywood movies that star the left wing kooks. Futhermore, I will not tolerate voting for another McCain (i. e. Rino appeasers) just because they aren't Obama, either. Let the chips fall where they may if that is the choice!

***************************************************
Jim Boldebook Comment by Jim Boldebook 6 hours ago
What is happening in these 'occupy' actions was perpetrated and is being fueld by the Obama regime. Even a fool can see that. These are the tactics of a an administration in it's death throes, realizing it has lost enough support for relection, resulting in desperate measures to motivate through fear and intimidation. The total aggregate number of these 'occupiers' across America is relatively small, but is being made to look much bigger and threatening by the MSM who continue to support the regime. Unfortunately, some conservatives are starting to 'buckle their values' under fear. Rest assured, the large majority of Americans, especially the ones who vote, see these protests for exactly what they are.

**************************************************
Mary Creekmore Comment by Mary Creekmore 6 hours ago
I declare a strike on attending any movies or renting any moives that contain any of the Hollywood loonies. I began doing that several years ago. It may not be a big thing, but it's a start.

21. shouldn't....?
Shouldn't the mainstream media pay attention to this? After all, they fawned attention and credibility to the Tea Party by the bucket for years. Shouldn't they cover it if they oppose jobs?

22. Their call out to America should go nationwide and be covered everywhere by the media
It'll kill what little remains of the Tea Party, to have them known as whackos who put ideology ahead of jobs and the welfare of their fellow Americans.

23. Really? That's double whammy hit against working class people
First, taking away job opportunities for people who most need it. Then if these businesses fail to hire the people they need to run their business - services will be lacking for those who need to use them.

24. This is their response to the 99%
Nevermind that the actual small businessmen have more in common with the 99% than they do with the 1%. Of course most of them believe they are gonna be the next Bill Gates, or Carnagie or something. Most of them will fail in the first three years and blame their employees or the government rather than the market.

25. Wouldn't that "strategy" hurt out-of-work Tea Party members before it would hurt Obama?
Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
Homelessness
Hunger
No health insurance with illness or accident
Paupers' Fields

Last time I looked Tea Party members were just as likely unemployed as I am.

26. In addition to not hiring anyone, why don't they fire all their employees, too?
Hell, just shut down the business. Go Galt. That'll show Obama. And good riddance.
