MI GOP Policy Committee Votes for a Closed Primary « That’s Saul Folks!
"MI GOP Policy Committee Votes for a Closed Primary
July 12th, 2011 by Saul Anuzis
After several months of discussions between state committee members, county chairs and party activists…the State Committee’s Policy Committee unanimously passed a resolution recommending a closed primary to the full State Committee."


DISASTER!
A "closed" primary allows (actually encourages) democrats to vote in the GOP presidential primary.
Democrats and RINOs will control the GOP primary winner.
Our state party has sold us out AGAIN!

Obama Flashback: 'You Don't Raise Taxes in a Recession'

Obama Flashback: 'You Don't Raise Taxes in a Recession' - Tax Increases - Fox Nation
"Obama agreed with Ferguson’s premise – raising taxes in a recession is a bad idea.
“First of all, he’s right.
Normally, you don’t raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven’t and why we’ve instead cut taxes.
So I guess what I’d say to Scott is – his economics are right.
You don’t raise taxes in a recession.
We haven’t raised taxes in a recession.”"

Our current flopper-in-chief makes Kerry look like Churchill.

Time for tea, or, What would Wilkins Micawber think?
“There is no point in trying to imagine what a $1.5-trillion deficit means.
For most of us mortals, it is simply unimaginable.
All the more is a total federal debt of $14.3 trillion (and counting).
And I haven’t even broached what I think of as the Williamson Warning (after Kevin Williamson, who gave prominence to the dour fact), namely that the real out-the-door, all-in price of U.S. debt is something closer to $130 trillion, a sum that, if you can bear to think about it, is Book-of-Revelations, Seventh-Seal, Four-Horsemen-of- the-Apocalypse scary.”

Plus the answer: “Stop spending. Live within your means.” Some people may fear that it’s too late for that."

BARRED OWL AMAZING VOCALS!

Pajamas Media » Why the Shock Over Atlanta Teacher Cheating?
"The teacher stayed.
The fix was in.
The principal put his “integrated faculty” accolade above his students’ education.
Parents became surrogate biology teachers or hired tutors.
Some of us students took novels to class to dull the boredom.
Others passed notes.
But no one complained once the new code of silence about the uneducated new black teacher was accepted as Orwellian reality.
The death-of-public-education die had been cast
