Full Circle

Listen, as a Canadian teaches us what is and is not "American":

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) said it was "un-American" for senators to have voted against approving a bailout of troubled automakers last night, saying their vote may cause a recession to become a depression.
"It is unacceptable for this un-American, frankly, behavior of these U.S. senators to cause this country to go from a recession into a depression," Granholm said during a radio interview Friday morning.

Standing up against a socialist bailout for the UAW is now un-American. Spectacular. Granholm shouldn't worry, though, because lame duck President Bush is going against the will of the voters and giving out the auto bailout money anyway.

2 I'm pretty sure that it would be illegal for Bush and Paulson to use the TARP funds to bail out the automakers. Not that either of them care, as the whole farking thing is unconstitutional to begin with.

5 So every time we see a UAW worker, can we scream at them that they're unpatriotic?

6 I thought it was beyond the pale to question anyone's patriotism.

I don't hold any animosity towards the average UAW member. Sure, they're overpaid, but I don't blame them for taking what the companies were willing to give. It's a legal business transaction.

It's the management of the US manufacturers, the union officials, and the politicians they're in bed with that deserve scorn. It would be refreshing to see a movement within the UAW to kick out the officials and do what's needed to preserve their jobs and help the manufacturers with a viable business model, but I have a feeling anyone who tried that wouldn't be around long.
