POPSSearching for American Indians in South Carolina 
"Indians, Indians...come out, come out where ever you are! We want to study you", says the local newspaper. A little late seeing as the event to take surveys & collect info from the surviving Indians...is tomorrow! I only accidentally found it. I'm certain that the Minority Commision wants to "help" these minorities. Perhaps help them get set up for grants, contracting work and monies already earmarked for Minorities in SC. However, whoever is spearheading the PR campaign is not shining very well right now. I have seen nothing online except this lone article. I have seen NO public service announcements, heard radio spots...nothing. I am not criticizing their efforts, it just goes to prove my point - when you really want to help someone YOU SCREAM IT FROM THE RAFTERS AND ROOFTOPS - get "grass roots" on it if you have to! Lame attempts to announce "we're here to help you so come out and participate on short notice" is just not enough to be considered a real effort.

POPSThe Moment of Truth Based on my past 3 years of hiring, I think Gen "Y" should watch their answers to this question! I've gotten way too many loose or generic answers that haven't really given me what I was looking for.

POPSSC Gets Tough on Illegal Immigration What do Minority Business Owners in South Carolina think about getting rid of "Illegals"? Do you think it is unfair? Do you think that there is not enough representation for the Illegal Immigrants here in SC? Are you happy about tougher Laws enforcing Illegal Immigration because it results in labor disputes, and cheap labor taking "your" rightful jobs? Do you hire Illegal Aliens to work for you? We would love to hear what you think. Please post your thoughts on our Blog or feel free to email info@minoritybuildersassociation.com

POPSGreen Jobs Up, Coal Jobs Down So much for the argument that fighting climate change will hurt the economy. That argument's looking more and more like what it actually is -- the argument of the buggywhip industry against those newfangled horseless carriages.

POPSTravel Writing, Courtesy of Uncle Sam I knew that Roosevelt's New Deal created government jobs for blue collar workers. But who knew that travel writers also benefited -- including the likes of Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Eudora Welty? My capitalist tendencies notwithstanding, I can't help but be charmed by writer-employment schemes. Doubly charming (to me anyway): This piece is about my former home state of Washington.

POPSChrysler, UAW Face Slew of Complaints The winners in these actions are those who watch and learn. Learn to act correctly ( would you be happy for your wife's boss to be...) and learn that these pricks can be said no to or taken to court. Where are worker representative unions? Not that they stop this harassment in Australia

POPSObama's Okie Doke Obama voted against a ban on partial birth abortions. Americans support a ban by a margin of 66% to 28%. Obama supports affirmative action in public employment, contracting and university admissions. Americans oppose giving an advantage in these areas on the basis of race by a margin of 82% to 14%. Obama voted against a ban on partial birth abortions. Americans support a ban by a margin of 66% to 28%. Obama opposed the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act while in the Illinois state legislature, to prevent abortion providers from withholding medical care and sustenance from infants born after surviving an abortion attempt. Despite his equivocal statements regarding the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the D.C. gun ban, Obama has never met a gun ban he didn't like. While in the Illinois state legislature, Obama voted against parental notification requirements for abortions for minors. Americans support parental notification laws by a margin of 79% to 17%.

POPSFreedom Towers - Socialist Government in Action "We can count on government planners to produce the most inefficient projects conceivable by the human mind. Manhattan’s Freedom Tower, intended to rise on the site of 9/11 destruction, is an egregious example . . . ...New York City, the nation’s most socialistically ingrained municipality, in the nation’s premier socialist state, has a long history of public works boon-doggles, of which the Freedom Tower is just the latest. The standard government-planning way to do this is to spend the maximum possible amount of public funds, for the longest possible time, and employ the maximum possible number of unionized workers at the highest imaginable wages. This promotes full employment for voters and life-time tenure for politicians holding the benefits slop buckets at the public pig-feeding trough..." Good grief I'm glad I don't live in that Hell hole of a state.

POPSThe Pigs are getting more secretive. When pensioners have to declare every part of a penny so that they can get their paid for pensions, if a politician who is being paid out of pensioners savings cannot honestly declare their expenses, no messing about, slam them in Parkhurst.
