Then it is ongoing stupidity.  I have gotten past the point of caring if it is democratic stupidity or Republican stupidity it has become just a mess of government stupidity.  I can only think of maybe two or three people in either the House or Senate that would be good enough to tie the shoes of the least of our founding fathers.  That is why we need real change not just change back to the GOP because the last time we changed to the GOP the American people still saw record spending and no real promotion of freedoms or liberty.

According to the 9-1-11 edition of the Wall Street Journal, the first raid was in November 2009 and a second was conducted on August 24, 2010. While there were also tax questions on the table back then, they became a separate issue and, apparently, resolved. Either way, 3 raids in 3 consecutive years sounds like a campaign.

the first raid against Gibson was in 2008 (pre-Obama).  The Lacey Act was amended in 2008 to include trees, and that was supported by Senator Lamar Alexander (R) from TN.  Let's not let get ahead of ourselves.  the Lacey Act is crazy, but this is an ongoing problem

B"H  Thank you once again, Billie.  You can tell this man is such a decent fellow. How humiliating and yet he is standing up and speaking out with gentle, but fearless resolve.  G*d bless him for it.  shalom

the only claim to fame this administration has is their blatant abuse of federal power to accomplish their motives and agendas. the gibson company is just one on a long list of targets in the private sector.

One more example of how this country has it's fingers in the pies of almost every other country.  That is also why other countries don't like us because we think we know better how they should run their own countries.  Our government does such a good job running things over here it is just natural to want to expand to other countries and run things over there too.

I first became award of this two weeks ago when Cavuto interviewed the CEO about the most recent seizure by ARMED Federal agents.

The CEO said Gibson is in full compliance with the laws of the respective countries the company is importing the exotic woods from. It's not just his word, either, but documented by the export licenses issued to Gibson BY each country. Gibson has provided this paperwork TO the DOJ.

The seizures, he says he was informed, is because the DOJ doesn't agree with how the countries are interpreting their export regulations on the exotic wood.

That's right. Our imperial Federal government has now apparently decided how other countries must interpret their own laws, and found those involving Gibson's importation of exotic woods somehow lacking.

Not that any other guitar manufactures in the US don't follow the same exact procedures when they import exotic wood from the same countries. They do.

But, only Gibson has been raided, had material confiscated, and all by ARMED Federal agents.

All the stuff that comes out of his mouth is shovel ready...you know like a pile of cow dung.
