Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls, MSM: It Tolls for Thee

Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls, MSM: It Tolls for Thee
"Almost no voice, until Rush Limbaugh came on the scene.
Almost 30 years later, the tables have turned.
The problem for these journalists is that they have functioned robotically and cavalierly for so long, that they are not aware of the reality around them.
Things have changed.
Drastically."

This is a great read for all of us citizen journalists!

Those nutty Americans

Those nutty Americans
'Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released (Feb. 19) say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens,' CNN says.
Perhaps even more remarkable is the breakdown of those saying that: Nearly seven in 10 Republicans, as you might assume -- but also a whopping 63 percent of independents, and even 37 percent of Democrats.
If the tea partiers are 'kooky' for thinking the government is out of control, then, well, a majority of Americans are crazy, one supposes."

The democrats and their comrades in the liberal media tell us the Tea Party patriots are out of line with....well, with what the libs want them to believe.

The American people are rising up to tell them all that they are wrong.

Damn wrong!

And we don't need no stinkin' liberal media to get the truth anymore!

We have our citizen Paul Reveres in the form of millions of American Tea Party volunteers!

Coming To A Hospital Near You?
"At the root of these grave troubles are hospital managers — bureaucrats — who, according to a Times of London report, 'stopped providing safe care because they were preoccupied with government targets and cutting costs.'"

Pension Rhetoric vs. Pension Reality

Pension Rhetoric vs. Pension Reality
"As California’s public employee retirement system teeters on the verge of complete financial collapse, defenders of the current system continue to deny this, often accusing reformers of being “public servant bashers.”
But politically motivated rhetoric will not change financial reality – or the pursuit of reforms so private workers don’t endure punitive taxation to sustain a privileged class of government employees."

Rep. McDermott tries to sneak anti-CIA amendment into bill in the dead of night
"Liberal Democrats may tout openness, reform and transparency on the campaign trail but those promises never seem to make it past the Beltway when they return to Washington.

In one of the more egregious examples of this truism, one needs to look no further than the efforts by Representative Jim McDermott (D-Washington) to pull a fast one and slip into the intelligence budget a provision that, in a backdoor way, impose fines and prison terms on intelligence officers who 'abuse' captured terrorism suspects."

Forced Unionization, Day Care

Forced Unionization, Day Care

Tens of thousands of small business owners in Michigan could be freed from forced unionization if Senate Bill 1173 becomes law.
Some 40,000 home-based child care operators were shanghaied into a union because they receive subsidy payments on behalf of low-income parents. The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Human Services over this very issue.
According to the Novi Information Network, SB1173 would 'clarify that an individual who receives a direct or indirect government subsidy in his or her private employment is not a public employee.'"

Union's 'banked' days would save Michigan $11 million

Union's 'banked' days would save Michigan $11 million
"The Michigan State Employees Association, which represents 4,300 employees in nearly every state department, refused to adopt the new two-tiered health plan.
In response, the state imposed five days of furlough to achieve the union's share of the savings."

Fire them all and see if anyone even notices any change at all.
These greedy union thugs are destroying our state.
And any hope for the future!
