GE: Profiting from "Terrorist Nations" then Blowing them Up |

9-11 Families for America is taking up the anti-GE mantra, they're just using a different approach than the environmentalists and anti-war groups have used in the past. This time, GE's sin is doing business in Iran and Syria, helping "terrorist nations" provide their people with electricity and medical equipment. The irony, of course, is that GE will probably soon be paid for the rockets and aircraft replacement parts needed to knock these nations flat. And then, they'll probably get paid (with our tax dollars again) to rebuild those electrical plants and medical facilities. I'd say its a pretty good business strategy, bolstered by donations to the leadership of both parties and hefty return in federal contracts. Of course, if this terrorism thing doesn't work out, GE can always fall back on its phony-environmentalism. So far, they've accomplished setting up a legislative timeframe for banning normal lightbulbs, so even if the war thing doesn't last forever like Bush has promised, they'll be set to make more money off bad legislation in the future. Will the conservative outrage demonstrated at Michelle Malkin's website translate into a growing movement to boycott NBC? Well, that is quite doubtful. First of all, where would we get our rockets and electronics for nuclear warheads? Secondly, plenty of conservatives are too busy cheering NBC when they exclude candidates who actively oppose GE's policies and reliance on tax-payer subsidized corporate welfare.
