Steele: 'Is Joe Sestak lying right now?' on White House job offer - POLITICO Live
"DNC Chair Tim Kaine, appearing along with Steele, was asked by host Chris Wallace: 'Should the white house answer the question openly and honestly instead of stonewalling?'
Kaine replied, 'I don't know stonewalling, I'm not sure what obligation they have.
If the question gets asked, it's something they should deal with.'"
Craven coward!

Palin accuses Obama of being in bed with big oil
"The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, who champions off-shore drilling, criticized the media for not drawing the link between Obama and big oil and said if this spill had happened under former Republican president George W. Bush the scrutiny would have been far tougher.
'I don't know why the question isn't asked by the mainstream media and by others if there's any connection with the contributions made to president Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration,' she told Fox News Sunday."

Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell made local government consolidation the keynote of his State of the City speech at the beginning of the year.
"The greatest gift we could leave for our grandchildren would be a consolidated government," Heartwell said.
Interesting comment.
I guess outing the public employees union member's ever increasing wages and benefits sorta slipped his mind.
So, our grandchildren will be best gifted by more union and politician control over fewer groups of us pathetic citizens?
Hitler, Mao, Hugo, et al would be proud.

Stealth Unionization Plot Survives Another Attempt to Kill It
Stealth Unionization Plot Survives Another Attempt to Kill It [Mackinac Center]
"Another attempt to stop the funding of the government agency tied with stealth unionization of home day care workers was defeated this week.
This time, an amendment to House Bill 5838 would have spelled out that the Michigan Home Based Child Card Council would have its funding yanked.
It was defeated by a 62-44 vote."

Obama Has Enraged the "Citizen Class"
Austin Hill : Obama Has Enraged the "Citizen Class"
"While an overwhelming majority of the citizen class supports Arizona’s effort to uphold the significance of citizenship and sovereignty, President Barack Hussein Obama has sided with the United Nations, Venezuelan Dictator Hugo Chavez, China, and the President of Mexico in opposing the state of Arizona.
One would hope that the President of the United States – any President of the United States – would seek to protect all fifty of the states that he governs from international criticism, even if he didn’t happen to like the behavior of one of his states.
But our current President stands united with some of the most thuggish regimes in the world, in opposing his fellow Americans of Arizona."

"Madrigal's arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989.
That's the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California.
He was deported a couple of times after that.
Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco.
Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August.
He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000.
In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again.
And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times."
And Obama's democrat henchmen are more outraged by the AZ law that the reality of America today.

Stealth IRS campaign mandates millions of new 1099 tax forms
"But SMC's survey found that extending 1099s just to services purchased from corporations would push that number to at least 200 filings per year for a typical small business -- adding an estimated $6,000 to the cost of preparing the average tax return.
And that's without even accounting for the requirement that 1099s be filed for purchases of goods"

"Do your friends a favor.
Tell them to 'batten down the hatches' because there's a HARD RAIN coming.
Tell them to get out of debt and sell anything they can sell (and don't need) in order to get liquid.
Tell them that Richard Russell says that by the end of this year they won't recognize the country."

"“What I try and do is try and, with the knowledge that I have, is offset my contribution to [carbon emissions].
I think people that don’t move around as much as me can take a bike when it’s a nice day.”
You MUST watch all of this. Finally the perfect answer to, “Celebutard says what…?”
CNS reporter Nicholas Ballasy asks a simple question and what follows are three-plus minutes of what would make for a howlingly funny SNL skit if only SNL had the courage to pop their heads out of the bubble and seek to “get it” once again.
It’s probably time to move beyond howling “hypocrite” when we’re presented with revealing moments like this.
Celebrity and elitist hypocrite are now tied together as automatically as Patrick Goldstein and Polanski-supporting blacklister or Robert Rodriguez and race-hustling demagogue.
The entertainment value, however, never grows tiresome."

America's new culture war: Free enterprise vs. government control
America's new culture war: Free enterprise vs. government control
"In one, America will continue to be an exceptional nation organized around the principles of free enterprise -- limited government, a reliance on entrepreneurship and rewards determined by market forces.
In the other, America will move toward European-style statism grounded in expanding bureaucracies, a managed economy and large-scale income redistribution.
These visions are not reconcilable."

Michigan Teacher Salary
"Michigan is fourth on our comfort scale because there are great lakes and good teacher salaries.
New teachers make an average starting salary of $35,557 and an average overall salary of $54,739.
If you enjoy natural beauty, snowy winters, and desire an affordable lifestyle, this northern state is a great place to become a teacher.
Teachers that have a Master's Degree live even better in Michigan - but you'll be comfortable with a standard teaching certificate if you don't mind a few less canoe and hunting trips or a cabin in the UP!"
No mention of hours worked or benefits and still $54,739 average pay.
But the unions tell us WE need to pay more.
Will we cut our income so the teacher's union members can have more of our money to spend?
