Agriprocessors Puts Barak Obama In The ‘Meat-Grinder’ - YWN
Besides Barry Hussein Obama not knowing what city he was in yesterday (listen to his remarks in his brief appearance last night and his confusion first saying he was in Kansas City and then saying he was in St. Louis. Even his daughter asked him "Daddy, what city are you in?" Obama responds: "I'm in Kansas City sweetie". Now if he only knew whether that was Missouri or Kansas. All that after saying "you want a persistent President." Obama's appearance begins at the 3 hr 34 sec mark at CSPAN convention day 1 coverage part two) may experience long load time
In any event, Obama took time out during the day to pass judgment against Agriprocessors for "taking advantage of undocumented workers".
"When you read about a meatpacking plant hiring 13-year-olds, 14-year-olds - that is some of the most dangerous, difficult work there is. ... They have kids in there wielding buzz saws and cleavers? It's ridiculous. And the only reason they're hiring these folks is because they want to avoid paying decent wages and providing decent benefits."
Those poor undocumented workers (IE. id thieves), you victims of greedy Joos making wages and benefits at or above industry standards. How ungrateful you are to make allegations after being arrested by ICE and put in line to go to your home countries after a visit to a US Federal prison where you eat 3 squares and have access to free medical care. Obama fell into the trap of believing what he wanted to believe. Maybe it was just a natural willingness to accept unproven allegations and maybe the reason is, that something inside him allowed him to do so. Its believable, you know, the Joos own that place.
Obama at least paid lip service to being a nation of laws but only after discussing the hardships for those who break the law. What better way to warm up for the Democrat National Convention than to throw a bone to the union bosses and the immigration amnesty crowd.
Nat Lewin contradicts and chides Obama in his piece hyperlinked above and copied below. Lewin contends that Obama, the law professor, should know better.
August 26, 2008
On Monday, YWN reported that Barak Obama had blasted Agriprocessors in a comment to a reporter. The following is the official response to Barak Obama issued by Nathan Lewin on behalf of Agri:
This is a shocking statement from a former president of the Harvard Law Review and former constitutional law professor who has sworn, as a United States Senator, to uphold the Constitution which prescribes a presumption of innocence until guilt is proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Before he made public accusations accusing a meat-packing plant of hiring 13 and 14 year olds “only……to avoid paying people decent wages and providing them decent benefits” and declared that the minors were assigned to work with “buzz saws and cleavers,” did Senator Obama look at the evidence or consider the plant’s categorical denial of these allegations?
Agriprocessors recruited only those who were over 18 and knowingly accepted for employment only applicants who said they were over 18. Applicants may have lied about their age to get a job.
Agriprocessors fired four girls in 2007 when it discovered, from its own internal investigation, that they were under age.
The Iowa Labor Department conducted an on-site inspection in April 2008 with an expert at spotting minors and did not identify to Agriprocessors any person on its work-force who looked to be under 18.
No one alleges that any employee who was later identified as under 18 was working at Agriprocessors with “buzz saws and cleavers.”
Everyone on the Agriprocessors payroll, regardless of age, received wages and benefits at or above industry standards.

Obama on Agriprocessors - Des Moines Register
I was thinking I might take some time to clean and "Rem oil" up my American made firearms. But only after I spend a good amount of time on some serious Chumash (Bible)learning with commentaries. Its also time to start preparing for the Yamim Noraim (High Holydays), so learning Yonah (Book of Jonah) might be in order. Then again, it may be Sichos. I am just so bitter I can't even decide. Far too bitter to watch the Obamamessiah unify America.
Ok, I think I am beginning to understand democrat logic which actually scares me. No, I haven't bought in - Chas v'Shalom, but I am seeing a picture now which I will try to illustrate.
The modern liberal/democrat must be able to ignore truth for vision. Vision of course, without truth is fantasy. But that doesn't stop the left. When fantastical beliefs in new ideas emerge, ideas which are based upon fantasy more so than observation, on idealism more so than realism, on a slavish connection to a misnomer casting away thoughtful analysis, then you have liberal thought.
Basing policy on this reasoning is the core mandate of liberal democrats. Even when it is pitifully obvious that the results of this process is destructive, the process is held in such esteem that the results cannot be criticized. Jimmy Carter's priorities in foreign policy come from that system. It permits antiJewism so long as his far-fetched policy derived from the fantasy led process of analysis is intact.
Carter will be speaking at the Democrat National Convention next week in Denver. Even though there are still some level headed Democrats around who understand that the Carter chain around the neck of Obama is a poltergeist of Joseph Goebbels which Obama will have to wear through November, they are powerless to prevent a talk by the former President who is the standard setter for liberal thought today. The process must have its day after all.
What message is Obama trying to send? Clearly he or his team have approved or cancelled speakers at the convention. So Obama must approve of Carter the antiJew speaking at his convention. Democrats have a problem because they have fostered and accepted this sort of non-sense thought inside their tent. Obama is stuck with it whether he likes it or not. My guess is he does like it. It strengthens him and gives credence to his appeasement manner.
The dems are trying to stem the tide of the dissolving Jewish vote, putting "rabbis" on the agenda and continually trying to bolster Obama's Jewish credentials. But sending out Carter the fantastical antiJew to the podium will by necessity remind everyone of Carter's Jew baiting. This is not the best America can do.
Expect McCain to pick up additional Jewish support as a result of the dems convention and it's media coverage. The alternative media should have a field day with this one. Kudos to the Young Israel for their courage and leadership.
Young Israel Calls on Democrats to Cancel Carter Speech - INN
(IsraelNN.com) The National Council of Young Israel has called on Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama and party leaders to cancel next week's scheduled address by former American President Jimmy Carter at the party convention in Denver, Colorado. Carter's public statements and his recent visit to Syria have attracted widespread criticism among pro-Israel supporters.
Young Israel president Shlomo Z. Mostofsky and executive vice president Rabbi Pesach Lerner stated, "Affording Mr. Carter a prime speaking engagement on the Democrats' brightest stage is an affront to the State of Israel, and to all American Zionists, whether they are Christians or Jews.
"In April, 2008 he deliberately and wantonly ignored the wishes of the United States government when he traveled to Syria to meet with Khaled Mashaal, the head of Hamas' terrorist organization. The fact that he embraced Hamas, a terrorist group that has repeatedly called for the destruction of the State of Israel, the obliteration of the United States, and the annihilation of the Jewish people, was a slap in the face to Israel, the U.S., and Jews everywhere."

(IsraelNN.com 7 Sivan 5768/June 10, '08) Ynet's web site and Arab complaints against a ten-year-old boy's poem about terrorists has resulted in the recall of all of the Nes Ziona municipality's children's poetry booklets.
Ynet boasts that its coverage of the poem resulted in its being recalled.
The text of the poem (Ynet's translation):
Ahmed's bunker has surprises galore: Grenades, rifles are hung on the wall. Ahmed is planning another bombing!What a bunker Ahmed has, who causes daily harm.Ahmed knows how to make a bomb. Ahmed is Ahmed, that's who he is, so don't forget to be careful of him.We get blasted while they have a blast!Ahmed and his friends could be wealthy and sunny, if only they wouldn't buy rockets with all their money.
Poetry competition director Marika Berkowitz, who published the booklet, was surprised at the protests and told Ynet: "This is the boy's creation and this is what he wanted to express. Of course there should be a limit, but I think the there is no racism here. 'Ahmed' is a general term for the enemy. These are the murmurings of an innocent child."
The Education Ministry told Ynet: "The local authority that published the booklet should have guided the students in a more correct manner through the schools. The district will investigate the issue with the local authorities."
