Lowe’s issues apology after pulling ads from All American Muslim

National hardware retailer Lowe's has pulled its advertisements from the TLC show "All-American Muslim." 

However, since announcing that they would be pulling their ads from the TLC show, Lowe’s has been met with a flurry of heated criticism.

The company has issued a statement stating:

“While we continue to advertise on various cable networks, including TLC, there are certain programs that do not meet Lowe’s advertising guidelines, including the show you brought to our attention. Lowe’s will no longer be advertising on that program, we do however encourage all our employees and valued customers to continue watching to see which one explodes first."

You got to be kidding me

The odds of getting this drone back are about as likely as me donating to the Democratic party. 

These are the times we live in. We are all aware a drone went down in Iran presumably on a spying mission. Our government tells us the drone malfunctioned and went down. The Iranians claim they brought it down. Under this administration, the lack of trust, we really don't know what to believe. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

I almost felt embarrassed for the Messiah. We were in all probability spying, and then with a straight face he expects (almost pleading) the Iranians to return the drone.

 His naiveté is truly remarkable. Although it was an embarrassing incident which we tried to lie our way out of, I don't recall Eisenhower being naive enough to expect the Russians to return the U-2 after Gary Powers was shot down spying over Russia. 


PS: The Iranians are demanding an apology  (knowing this president) one  should be forthcoming shortly.

Obama appeals to Iran to give back downed US top-secret drone, won't comment on intelligence

Iranian TV showed the unmanned "stealth" aircraft apparently undamaged

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has delivered a formal request to Iran for the return of a U.S. surveillance drone captured by Iranian armed forces, but said it is not hopeful that Iran will comply.

President Barack Obama said Monday that the U.S. wants the top-secret aircraft back. "We have asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," 

Obama said during a White House news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Monday.

In an interview broadcast live Monday night on Venezuelan state television, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said nothing to suggest his country would grant the U.S. request.

"The Americans have perhaps decided to give us this spy plane," Ahmadinejad said. "We now have control of this plane."

Speaking through an interpreter, Ahmadinejad said: "There are people here who have been able to control this spy plane, who can surely analyze this plane's system also. ... In any case, now we have this spy plane."

He added, "Very soon, they're going to learn more about the abilities and possibilities of our country."

On Tuesday, a semi-official Iranian news agency said authorities have shrugged off the U.S. request. Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said the United States should apologize for invading Iranian air space instead of asking for the return of the unmanned aircraft.

Obama wouldn't comment on what the Iranians might learn from studying the downed aircraft. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said it's difficult to know "just frankly how much they're going to be able to get from having obtained those parts."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Panetta said they're not optimistic about getting the drone back because of recent Iranian behavior that Clinton said indicated "that the path that Iran seems to be going down is a dangerous one for themselves and the region."

"We submitted a formal request for the return of our lost equipment as we would in any situation to any government around the world," Clinton told reporters at a State Department news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

"Given Iran's behavior to date we do not expect them to comply but we are dealing with all of these provocations and concerning actions taken by Iran in close concert with our closest allies and partners," she said.

Panetta said the request to return the drone was appropriate. "I don't expect that that will happen," he said. "But I think it's important to make that request."

Neither Obama nor Clinton would provide details of the drone request, but diplomatic exchanges between Washington to Tehran are often handled by Switzerland, which represents U.S. interests in Iran. The State Department said Monday that the Swiss ambassador to Iran met with Iranian foreign ministry officials last week but refused to say what they discussed.

Iran TV reported earlier Monday that Iranian experts were in the final stages of recovering data from the RQ-170 Sentinel, which went down in Iran earlier this month. Tehran has cited the capture as a victory for Iran and displayed the nearly intact drone on state TV. U.S. officials say the aircraft malfunctioned and was not brought down by Iran.

Despite the incident, Clinton said the administration and its allies would continue to push Iran to engage over its nuclear program while at the same time increasing pressure on the regime with new, enhanced sanctions.

(Ask Castro how those nasty sanctions work out) 

"We obviously believe strongly in a diplomatic approach. We want to see the Iranians engage and, as you know, we have attempted to bring about that engagement over the course of the last three-plus years. It has not proven effective, but we are not giving up on it," she said.

Standing beside Clinton, Hague agreed.

"We're not giving up on engagement with Iran, but on a number of occasions Iran has behaved in a way in recent weeks and months which has intensified confrontation with the rest of the world," he said. "We have seen an increasing predilection for dangerous and illegal adventures on the part of at least parts of the Iranian regime."

Clinton and Hague referred to the storming of British diplomatic compounds in Tehran, allegations that Iran tried to arrange the assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Iran's ongoing support for militant groups and its continued defiance of demands to prove its nuclear program is peaceful.

On a tip from my brother Gary

Now this makes sense.  Bet our President and Congress never thought of this, as they are so deeply entwined with China, Taiwan, India and all of the other importers who dump there crap on our shores.

SHOULD'NT MADE IN AMERICA MEAN SOMETHING TO ALL OF US? 

THIS NEEDS TO GO TO EVERYONE; HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE BUILDING TRADES . . .

We should be helping Americans instead of supporting the f-ing Chinese!

I'm passing this along to everyone I know in the building trades 

including those who work for Habitat for Humanity. 

This is very interesting. Please watch this & then forward it along. 

Take a minute to watch this video to the end and keep it going.... 

Have you ever wondered why almost everything we buy ... Lowes, Target, Home Depot, Wal-Mart etc, is made in China? When we make nothing we become nothing.


Can we really depend on a worthless, inept, government infested with corrupt politicians to produce jobs?




 It's up to us.

Lets band together NOW and save this country before it's to late.
