Comments on: U.S. Chamber of Commerce is old-think http://blogs.ajc.com/cynthia-tucker/2009/10/26/u-s-chamber-of-commerce-is-old-think/ Political commentary from Pulitzer Prize winner Cynthia Tucker of The AJC Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:30:05 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Chester Felds http://blogs.ajc.com/cynthia-tucker/2009/10/26/u-s-chamber-of-commerce-is-old-think/comment-page-1/#comment-9034 Chester Felds Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:08:52 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/cynthia-tucker/?p=2839#comment-9034 I take offense to Jessica's remarks. This assumes that Cyth has studied history. How we know what she studied? You're making assumptions and we just can't allow you to make such remarks. If you make such remarks, next someone will call into question her fashion style, or lack of, and that would be even worse. Or her hair. Then where would be be? With one poorly dressed left liberal with a bad hair doo. Photoshop can only do so much. Ignore poverty, wars, economy, political cronies and a few other things and then tell me one bad thing about berrick obama! I dare you! Don't worry, cyth. I take offense to Jessica’s remarks.

Take a little time and educate yourself about what happened in countries where the government tried to micromanage the economy, ran up excessive debt, attacked private industry or bought political loyalty by creating entitlements. Take a look at what happened when leaders created an "enemies list" or limited free speech. If you actually care about facts and not just ideology, start by reading about political history of 20th century Latin America. The views you promote would increase poverty, undermine the rule of law and destroy personal liberty. Your progressive goals are based on unproven utopian fairy tales. History says that they don't work. Cynthia, how much do you know about world history?

Oh God could this get any more stereotypical? The left are loosing their minds and don't even know it. Then again that is not that uncommon for someone who is delusional. Oh lets bash whole foods now.. Oh wait the far left are. lets start a class war. opps check Lets heat up race relations to a low not felt in decated .. done that. Couldn't be the far left has a hand in not knowing what they are doing and have made things WORSE FOR A LONG LONG TIME but think they are helping???

Cooke Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:47:19 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/cynthia-tucker/?p=2839#comment-8833 I learned something interesting this weekend. Did you know that New Balance sneakers are owned and manufactured in the old US of A. Did you also know that Nike and Apple (two firms that have exited the Chamber) have nearly 100% of their manufacturing in China? How might you think a lopsided Cap and Trade legislation that heavily favors the "developing" Chinese will have on a business such as New Balance that struggles to keep manufacturing jobs in the old US of A? Should the Chamber represent American manufacturers and American jobs against the Obama Administration's pro Chinese (scared to death of them) policies? As a matter of fact - shame on Apple and Nike for not being a better corporate citizen and keeping a token presence of manufacturing in the old US of A. I learned something interesting this weekend.

Thank you for standing up for the people who are knocked down, Cyth. We must not allow this to continue. We must organize a 100 man march to show the world that we won't take this anymore. I can get my neighbor, his kids, his cousin and a couple of friends, that's about 10. Anyone else care to chip in on the march?

Forsward think companies like Apple resign - how about the six new companies that joined due to the White House actions. Ms Tucker should get outside of the beltway of Atlanta and see how the remainder of Georgia and the USA thinks! I never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of Ms Tucker.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce spends more on lobbying than any other group so I am sure they are a little miffed when the government isn't bowing down to them. We've seen capitalism run amuck and frankly it is affecting real people and I for one am a little sick of the lobbyists running the show.
