This year, I became a member of the board of directors of our local chamber of commerce. I didn't want to, but with all the crap going on in our city and county, I felt I needed to keep my enemies close to me. If I may use a line from "The Matrix", as far as any gov't, "It's the smell".
It has allowed me to meet "people".......And I don't know how long they will keep me because I appear to be the only person who will speak the truth about anything.
I say this because we had a speaker from the NFIB....you know, the people who are supposed to support small business and the question and answer period was nauseating....until I made my statement of my disappointment the NFIB decided to support LAMAR! Alexander, in lite of his stance on Cash for Clunkers, Immigration, TARP, etc.... It was really hard for the speaker to defend.....I basically had to defend my stance against half the Board, which is ok with me.
The Chambers, NFIB, other groups don't realize how they are poison, when they walk the establishment line. Screw em. Somebody is gonna tell it like it is. Afterwards, I had my "supporters" come up to me, that silent group who were too spineless to join in. Screw them too.
