789 Chrysler Dealers Lose Their Rights by Government Bullying?
How will the epitaph read, “The American people turned their back on God, and then they turned their back on Morality and Law, they forgot how and why God blessed America.
.
Patrick Henry Jan. 8, 1799 letter to Archibald Blair
“The great pillars of all government…[are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.”
Dismissing Three hundred and sixty protests, including some from the States themselves, to the Chrysler Bankruptcy May 20th, Judge Gonzales would appear has one thing in mind, “the ends justify the means”. This is the striping of 789 Chrysler Dealers of their contractual rights without even a hearing or due process, trumping state franchise laws without a second thought. The lien holders on Chrysler property protests dismissed. The State of Indiana’s protests were dismissed within hours.
I ask you is this virtue? Is it immoral? For the government to seize a dealers franchise and give it to another or take it all away without so much as a hearing or restitution? Based on Patrick Henry’s conviction we are now far from invincible. Is it moral to take Chryslers Assets and give them to a foreign company and the Labor Unions and the treasury department when the government is the plaintiff and the Judge and the Jury?
Unfortunately the tax payers are far from aware of the other shenanigans going on. How about this, government sponsored floor plans for the remaining dealers, “SBA 15-month test flooring guarantees for Dealers”.
Tax payer money to back bankrupt Chrysler and GM cars that will depreciate by the billions per day is that what your congressman voted for? No, the government will stand to lose billions with what balance of power?
The insanity of the Tax for guzzlers bill I discussed a couple of weeks ago, “PROPOSED CASH-FOR-GUZZLERS WILL BE MORE TAX PAYER CASH DOWN THE DRAIN”
Let me say simply, you can’t fix a car company by firing their outlets. You can’t fix a car company by pouring tax money at them. You can’t fix a car company by going bankrupt and giving their assets to unions or the treasury department or an Italian car company that has never succeeded in the US. You can’t fix a car company by tax payers backing floor plans. You can’t fix a car company by giving customers billions to buy their non competitive cars.
The way you fix a car company is to build cars that Americans want and that they can afford with out putting Americans in slavery to debt.

This is your closing satement: “The way you fix a car company is to build cars that Americans want and that they can afford without putting Americans in slavery to debt.” Unfortunately they did not do this. They built cars according to government standards (safety, crash test, EPA, CAFE standards, etc), to put untold millions of dollars into union employees paychecks (and subsequently union dues, retirement, health funds, etc.), and built cars that “they” thought we wanted. We did not.
Henry Ford built over 15 million Model T cars without changing the design. Whenever Detroit got hold of having to change the style every year because of fashion, that was the start (my opinion) of their undoing. Consider the VW beetle. No major body changes from start to finish. Consider any Mercedes built in the 1950’s and later. A mechanic told me that they would make about a million cars of any body style before moving on and that style lasted years (I had a 220D; you never could tell what year they were made just by looking at it).
We are now seeing an unconstitutional, massive government takeover of nearly every area in our lives; Scriptures tell us that in the end times, things will be like this…
The details you are reporting about the judicial decisions regarding the Chrysler dealers strike me as being sloppy, thoughtless, and lazy. This is a delicate process that requires wisdom and careful thought. I hope these decisions will be appealed.
