The Democratic party is killing main stream America. 9-14-07 By Mike Moseley
The open border Democratic leadership's sanctuary city policy and the politically correct government regulations of Washington is killing the American union. The liberal leadership is clearly outside of bounds of main stream America. Just as they have turned on our soldiers on the battlefield of Iraq, the Democrats have turned on the American working man.
Numerous political defeats have shown that the Democratic party is clearly outside of main stream America. With Senators Harry Reid ( D Ne.), Dick Durbin ( D Il.),Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.)and House speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D Ca) leading the way to defeat in every significant political battle, the left has shown that they are out of touch with American citizens. No finer example of Democratic failure was the recent debate in which Senator Hillary Clinton (D. NY.) espoused two widely differing positions, within minutes of each other, on the immigration debate. First, agreeing with N.Y. Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer's decision to issue drivers license and the rights that go with them, to illegal aliens and then trying to defend a position quite opposite of that. In a recent Opinion Dynamics poll, 91% of Americans find that illegal immigration is a “very” or “somewhat” serious problem for America. Another interesting fact, was that 67% of Americans support protecting the U.S. border with the U.S. Military, a significant statement in itself and a clear warning to President Bush and the Democrats. With the two embarrassing defeat of Sen. Dick Durbin's “Dream Act”one can conclude that the Democrats are willing to bring this subject up again if they ever regain power in Washington.
Historically, the Democratic party has represented the American working man. However, since Democrat President Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law , the union worker has not been represented well by the Democrat party. It was the Clinton administration that almost regulated the coal mining industry into history books. With the new open border Democratic policies, union member have been stab in the back by a previous trusted friend. I had an interesting conversation with a union carpenter this weekend. “Dave” is a member of the carpenter local in San Francisco. As he describe how his union had been broken by illegals willing to work for less money, he described how every contractor that went to the local Home Depot for supplies would be surrounded by 100-150 illegals aliens looking for work. Union labor has been under attack by Democrats in every major city across America as many are pro immigration or sanctuary cities. These policies do not allow for deportation of criminals, visa violations, or illegal entry. As more Democrat strongholds like New York City, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago pass laws to protect illegals, know these same laws separate American workers from their jobs.
The most recent facts are: (laborpains.org) Union membership is down to 7.4% of private sector employees and down to 12 percent overall (government employees are highly unionized, at a rate of 36.2 percent) – that’s down from a high of 20.1 percent in 1983.
Adding insult to the Union membership is that the oil and gas industry has been regulated from expanding in Alaska, off shore, and in the continental United States. Not only is it political incorrect to drill for oil, it is almost impossible to meet lengthy government regulations to build refineries. This entire industry works hand and hand with union membership. The Democrats have regulated the end of good union jobs in an all important industry that needs to expand for the security of the United States. It is this writers opinion that America would be more secure without funding terror states that use American dollars to buy military weapons and fund terrorists. So as the Democrats regulations have killed union jobs their sanctuary city policies have replaced the hardworking Union member. The open border Democrats are working with President Bush to allow Mexican truckers into these United States without meeting US safety standards. If the Democrat have their way, clearly the end is near for teamsters and every AFL-CIO job.
It is amazing that the Democratic party could maintain any credibility on the domestic front. With Rep. Charlie Rangel's (N.Y. D.) billion dollar tax increases targeting America's hardest working individuals, the small businessman, know that these taxes will end up in the hands of citizens of countries other than America. Added to this troubling fact is that the Democratic policy of giving illegals welfare, health care, food stamps and housing paid for by the American worker, in many cases the union member. With Democrat strongholds such as San Francisco passing laws to give illegals American jobs and welfare benefits know that the Democratic party has made their choice. When you hear senators Harry Reid (D. NE), Dick Durbin (D.Il.), Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.), Barak Obama (D. Il.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D. CA) speak of rights for illegals, sanctuary cities or open borders know that they are twisting the knife deeper in the back of every American working man, union or not.

A lie repeated often enough is now the truth?
Clinton is a P.O.S. but the further truth is that every president still alive supported that.
very grateful for your post!!! It is a true crisis for survival that we face as Americans who have the Founding Fathers’ values!!
Mike Mosley, hire a proofreader! You should be ashamed.
“mike mosley, hire a proofreader! you should be ashamed.”
he couldn’t help it. he typed so quickly that his fingers became entangled.
“democrats kill mainstream america.”
an understatement.
There is no question that Liberalism. . .as brought to us predominiently by Demrats has destroyed ‘Mainstream America’. . .and if there is a ‘Value’ out there, they have missed; we know as surely we speak; it is being targeted for extinction.
