#1 Start by sending unionized coal workers to luxury flats in Pakistan & wait 10 years BEFORE assassinating them.

#2 Coal industry investors are "suffering" as we speak...believe me! Of course suffering is in keeping with the Obama CONOP (concept of operation).

#3 The industrial unions are turning against the Democrats. Same happened with a Wisconsin mining union when the Democrats blocked a mining project for no reason but to deprive Gov. Walker of a success, at the expense of the miners union. The miners are very angry with the Democrats.

#4 And who did they endorse in the last election? Let us Google...

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for President of the United States after a unanimous vote of the union's National Council of the Coal Miners' Political Action Committee (COMPAC) in favor of the endorsement.

"We are extremely proud to make this endorsement today," UMWA International President Cecil E. Roberts said today. "Sen. Obama shares the values of UMWA members and our families. He understands and will fight for the needs our members have today and the hopes our members have for a secure future for themselves and their families.

"Most of all, Sen. Obama will implement the clear change in direction UMWA members-- indeed, all American working people--must have if they are to once again move forward and have a true opportunity to realize the American dream," Roberts said. "After eight years of being pushed aside by an administration which neither respects nor values the contributions American working families make to our society, we are looking forward with great anticipation to a new era in our nation starting with the inauguration of President Barack Obama on January 20, 2009.

"We looked at the positions of both Sen. Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) when considering this endorsement,â Roberts said. âOn issue after issue, it is clear that Sen. Obama will be on our side while Sen. McCain will not."

Tough shit, rubes...

#5 It gets better; a project up here in the NW wants to enlarge the Cherry Point terminal to berth bulk cargo ships and fill them with coal mined in the Montana/Wyoming area. that would involve up to 9 trains daily, each about 1.5 miles long rumbling through a bunch of libtard sanctuary cities ( Bellingham being the most 'tarded) the ecoweenies and NIMBYs are banding together to stop this project, even though employment is still down.....

#6 When will the rest of the residents tell them to knock it off?

Get active. Post comments on your local newspaper website. Don't let the place become some libtard echo chamber. Bet if you looked those would be the only comments seen.
