Think that the Obamasiah and his administration are for American Labor... Think again.
They would like to see Gibson Guitars outsource some of their woodwork, making them not a true American made Guitar.
Its Bullshit, being a Guitar player myself and having a descent collection of several guitars (9 right now) all from different countries, Japan , even China,
I know china blows but my Schecter Hellraiseris an amazing Guitar.
The thing is they all use some sort of exotic woods, Gibsons are known for their beautiful maple tops, my favorite fretboards are ebony, I can go online and purchase from anywhere in the world any exotic wood and make my own Guitar or whatever.
The feds, especially Eric Holder, should suck Gibsons Nuts and say he is very sorry for being an Asswipe.
I buy American Guitars for their Qualities, and the foreign ones for theirs, I don't want the feds telling me I can no longer purchase a pure American masterpiece like a Gibson !

Gibson Guitar Corp. is claiming the Obama administration wants more of its woodwork done overseas, as a bizarre battle heats up between the government and one of the country's most renowned guitar makers.
The dispute started in 2009, when federal agents raided the company over suspect wood shipments from Madagascar. Gibson took that case to court but has denounced the administration with a vengeance after agents returned late last month to raid several Gibson factories -- this time out of concern that Indian export laws had been violated.
Though some reports on the dispute have cited environmental concerns, court documents suggest the latest battle boils down to a simple, non-environmental question -- which country is working on the wood?
Gibson's CEO has said repeatedly that the only reason his company is in trouble is because U.S. workers are completing work on guitar fingerboards in the United States. In an interview earlier this week, CEO Henry Juszkiewicz claimed that the U.S. government even suggested Gibson's troubles would disappear if the company used foreign labor.

Report on imam denounced
Of course the report is denounced, How could a Muslim or an African American, as this group wants to say, do any wrong ?
It's always the feds or the cop's fault in situations like this, never the criminal whacko's, or the crazy Islamists !
The Freep
A range of religious and civil rights leaders -- Christian, Muslim and African American -- blasted a Department of Justice report Thursday that cleared FBI agents in the shooting death of a Muslim leader, saying it was incomplete and failed to examine the use of undercover informants in Islamic communities.

"I had high hopes" for the report, said Omar Regan, son of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, killed Oct. 28 in a shootout with FBI agents inside a Dearborn warehouse. "We're disappointed."
Regan spoke at the Muslim Center in Detroit, where about a dozen religious and community leaders gathered to denounce the federal report released Wednesday. About five were Christian, and they urged people to not dismiss Abdullah just because he was Muslim.
"Don't look at the fact that the brother was wearing a turban," said Pastor Charles Williams II of King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit.
And don't you jackass's look at the fact that this loopy Imam was breaking the law by selling stolen Goods ( It's called a fencing operation and it is Illegal ) Or the fact that he had the chance to put his gun down and live, instead of opening fire on federal officers !

Drug cartel gangs threatening border security, state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh says
It seems like the U.S. government is finally waking up to what is going on in El Paso !
Drug cartel members are everywhere , including El Paso , and everyone here has known it for a long time !
So what are they going to do ? Well I'm sure they will start a panel to discuss the findings of this new study , then in a year or two they will come out with their findings , which will suggest to little to late and out of date issues to tackle !
El Paso Times
EL PASO -- Gangs that work for drug cartels in Mexico are threatening the security of border communities such as El Paso, state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh said Thursday.
He said the presence of gangs associated with cartels had increased in eastern El Paso County.
"Based on anecdotal evidence, it appears that elements of gangs in Juárez, who are under pressure in Juárez, are moving their operations to the Mission Valley," said Shapleigh, D-El Paso. "We have received numerous reports of gang members living in the San Elizario, Socorro and Fabens communities of the Mission Valley."
Shapleigh had just returned from the Border Legislative Conference in Mexico City, where insecurity caused by drug violence was the top concern of lawmakers from both countries.
The flight of people from Juárez to El Paso prompted El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen early this year to seek funding for 1,100 M4 assault rifles. The city approved his request, using a federal grant to pay for the weapons.
Awesome , but will they be allowed to use them without being prosecuted ?
Mexican authorities have reported fierce battles across the border from the valley, in Valle de Juárez communities such as Guadalupe, Caseta and El Millon, for control of the Rio Grande corridor.
But Shapleigh said he was hopeful because high-level U.S. officials are to announce a policy development in U.S.-Mexico bilateral relations later this month. He said the federal policy would build on a recent fact-finding mission involving the entire border.
