Anlin Windows - Anti Obama Signs
This is the newest:
They make energy efficient windows and have benefited directly from the stimulus, aka, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act since their customers received rebates for buying their product. They have a direct link from their website to the Federal Government Assistance website. Of course, we all know they have benefited from all of the other things our society offers through our government: roads, schools, fire department, police, etc. After looking at the sign several times, I realized that not only are they hypocrites and disrespectful to the President, addressing him as Mr. Obama... they are using the dog whistle of Psalm 109.8 which says: Let his days be few; and let another take his office. the next line says: Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. I know this Psalm has been popular with the right wing crazies on bumper stickers and teeshirts but apparently we are not supposed to take this as a threat to the man; they are just calling for him to removed from office. 
They have had this lovely sign up for years, even before President Obama was elected. 
Here is the old sign they had when they had a president they respected in office. 
Here is the front of their building. I don't have a pic of the the main corner of the property, but there is a huge cross and the American flag along with the flag from each military division. 
All of these signs are posted in multiple places so traffic on all streets can see them. The company is Anlin Windows in Clovis, CA http://www.anlin.com I'm pretty upset about the newest sign. What do you think of my neighbor?

unless they just snapped the pics after opening and before real production took place.
Also seems quite automated with not that many employees.  Though most were minorities and/or female from what I could see.
I did see what I think is one safety violation, maybe two more. Anyone with more factory safety experience want to take the video tour of the plant? |
