Why do hippies hate jobs?
A bunch of hippies are protesting that Sig Sauer is expanding to their town. And they have stupid, simplistic signs.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Hold on a minute! Pease Industrial Park in NH? AHEM! “Dear Hippies: That Industrial Park you want to keep SIG out of used to be Pease AIR FORCE BASE. Just look at the Static Bomber that is outside the entrance. It’s very EXISTENCE was based on the Cold War, which the United States WON. I should know, because the Base Hospital removed my Gall Bladder there in 1986. Of course, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard just across the river that repairs NUCLEAR SUBMARINES where I spent the last 2 years of my Service didn’t have a Hospital anymore, so we used Pease AFB’s, which is just across the river. But I don’t hear of any Protests against the Shipyard, which services much bigger Weapons Launchers (i.e. Cruise Missiles) than a SIG 556 Rifle. And none of you Hippies seem to Object to all the Revenue that the Shipyard generates, so get OVER IT!”
But I think the Hippies are just a Front for the Union Thugs. Something tells me the new SIG Plant will not be Unionized, unlike the Naval Shipyard. I could be wrong.

If a fire arms manufactor opened a factory inmy home town I would consider “un-retiring”.

When the hepkat kultur of Kalifornia was sustainable, it was sustained by their weapons industry, and little else. Also, Berkeley invented the Bomb. They’ve never gotten over it.
Drugs eventually wear off, but a good guilt-trip is forever.

Maybe the unions can get involved and get the hippies to leave if Sig concedes to stop making technocolor versions of the p238.

Too bad SIG is too dumb to build the factory in the south.. They could pay us 13 bucks and hour and we would be PROUD to make guns…

The static bombers (B52, B47 & B29) and tanker (KC97) near the old gate have been gone for years.
Newington has a residential population of maybe 800. The signed over all they had to say about the Pease redevelopment to the PDA & emergency response to that part of their town is now jurisdiction of the nearby city of Portsmouth.
Buncha whiners probably would crap a brick if they knew what goes on at Lonza – nevermind all the other high-tech military industry & experimentation that goes on in & around Newington – and that HK also has a facility in Newington (although not on Pease). SIG has little room to expand in their industrial park in Exeter; the move to Pease is just plain good business sense.
Frankly it will be nice to drive past the old Celestica building & see it being used. It’s been vacant nearly as long as the static plane displays have been gone.

So Les, what you’re saying is they beat the swords into plowshares, did some plowing, AND NOW SWORDS ARE POPPING-UP??

“Ben Chichester of Rye asked whether a SIG Sauer rifle was used in the recent killing of 16 Afghan villagers, allegedly committed by a U.S. Army sergeant.”
WTF? over.
I can’t even follow the possible train of thought shown in that insanity.

“I’m thrilled the company is coming,” Borkland said, but added, “I, too, feel just a little bit as if we have no say here.”
That is because you don’t have a say:
According to Planning Board Chairman Denis Hebert, the town’s agreement with the PDA and the state limits the amount of authority the board has over Pease development. He said the board can make nonbinding recommendations, but has no authority to approve or deny development at Pease.

That made my head hurt.
