Un. be.lievable.
Judicial Watch, having issued an FOIA request, last July, finally received the documents from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) concerning the NLRB’s decision to file a lawsuit against Seattle-based Boeing for opening a $750 million non-union assembly plant in North Charleston, South Carolina, to manufacture its Dreamliner plane (Judicial Watch v. National Labor Relations Board (No. 11-1470)).
Washington, DC — November 9, 2011
Among the highlights:
- On April 22, 2011, Acting NLRB General Counsel Lafe Solomon sent an email to Wilma Liebman, outgoing Chairwoman of the NLRB, “The article gave me a new idea. You go to geneva [Switzerland] and I get a job with airbus [French company]. We screwed up the us economy and now we can tackle europe.” Solomon’s comment was in response to an article published in French on the European Planet Labor website noting the devastating potential economic impact on South Carolina if the plant were to be scuttled: “Two billion dollars were invested in Charleston, 1,000 employees were recruited, and the site was supposed to open in July… until the NLRB meddled in.”
- On April 22, 2011, NLRB attorney Debra Willen received an email, in which Republican Sen. James DeMint of South Carolina is ridiculed as “Sen. Dement.”
- On May 12, 2011, NLRB Deputy Assistant General Counsel Joseph Baniszewski emailed a political cartoon to Deputy Assistant General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo mocking the state of South Carolina with regard to Boeing Corporation’s decision to locate its manufacturing facility in that state.
- On April 28, 2011, Miriam Szapiro sent an email to NLRB attorney Debra Willen commenting on an article in The Economist expressing some support for the Boeing lawsuit: “Exactly; it just shows you how incredibly reactionary the US is, that the conservative Economist thinks we’re Neanderthal.”
- On April 20, 2011, Mara-Louise Anzalone, counsel for Acting NLRB General Counsel Lafe Solomon, took exception to U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) statement, “As Senator, I will do everything in my power, including introducing legislation cutting off funding for this wide goose chase, to stop the NLRB’s frivolous complaint [against Boeing].” In an email to NLRB regional attorney Anne Pomerantz, Anzalone writes, “Awesome. Sounds like they’re just going to furlough you and me.”
Not only do these emails reveal the low moral character of the radicals running the NLRB – they show them to be complete idiots who don’t realize that their emails can eventually be made public. Talk about Neanderthals.

Naturally, this will be all over the front pages for the next few weeks.

Socialism has been tried and failed in one form or another (under various names) since the dawn of time. IMHO, the neanderthals are the socialists/statists who still think the reason it has failed miserably in every attempt are those who believe such failures are because none to that point had the “right people” running the show, and that the results would be completely different if THEY were in charge.
Pure, primordial pomp and hubris.

These marxist useful idiots have infiltrated every aspect of life,,particularly education and political, where they can do the utmost damage to the country in the shortest amount of time. One might then assume them to be genious planners with tremendous insite. The truth is they are puppets of satan, whose sole purpose is to kill and destroy mankind.

All of their dirty business should be exposed to the light of day. In a perfect world, they should scurry away like cockroaches and hide.
“The mind of a liberal is like the pupil of the eye. The more light you shed on it, the smaller it gets.”
They will never change, so they must be shown they are the minority.
99% ?……no it’s more like (point) .99%
They are less than 1%.
They are counting on the majority to sit and do nothing to stop them.
They are wrong.

Ya know, back when I was a young pup (many decades ago), these folks would have been tried for treason, and any court who let them go would have been tarred and feathered (along with these “Hate America firsters”).
Let’s never lose sight of the fact that, despite their soothing rhetoric, progressives wish for the demise of our country and everything that made it great.
Add the NLRB to the list of “first to go” agencies on Perry’s list (if he can ever remember them).
