Media Immediately Follows Obama's Orders to Mock Skeet-Gate Skeptics
Media Immediately Follows Obama's Orders to Mock Skeet-Gate Skeptics
"There are legitimate reasons that would explain the
angle of his gun, but....
Because the photo is odd, some are asking perfectly
legitimate questions.
But not the media.
What did the media do?
Because the media no longer questions or is skeptical of
Power, and instead sees its role as protector of The State, the media mocked
those who were skeptical......
That doesn't include tweets mocking skeptics that the likes
of Ben Smith and a number of Politico reporters are gleefully retweeting.
Thus far, I haven't seen a single tweet from the media
making the point that a single photo doesn't quite square the circle of Obama
making it sound as though he regularly shoots skeet.
Couple important things to keep in mind: Again, Obama is
using skeet-shooting as a political talking point to further an agenda.
So this is not an inconsequential matter, as some claim.
Secondly, while firing off this talking point, Obama made it
sound as though he regularly shoots skeet.
But it won't matter that the White House has only released a
single photo and thus far refuses to disclose how many times Obama's actually
shot skeet.
You see, the media is proud to publicly proclaim that it
doesn’t matter if Obama lies.
No, really.
How depressing to know a White House reporter at a major
news outlet doesn't give a "rat's a**" if the president of the United States is
lying:"

MI-GOP Chairman Candidates Answer Your Questions
MI-GOP Chairman Candidates Answer Your Questions
"The Michigan Republican Party, (MRP), is holding its convention February 22 & 23 to elect district leadership and the state chairman for another two years. 2014, will be another key election year as ALL county commissioners, state reps, state senators, and the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, 14 members of congress and a U.S. senator are up for election.
We are fortunate to have a choice this year.
Incumbent chairman, Robert (Bobby) Schostak is seeking a second term. Attorney and former state board of education candidate, Todd Courser is also seeking the post.
As a service to the delegates who may be going to the state convention to cast their vote for chairman, I asked several key leaders from both 'camps' of supporters to offer questions they would like to ask of the candidates. Both Bobby and Todd were willing to provide answers.
I have printed their answers below as they were written, with only minor formatting changes.
I hope that these will be helpful to you as you consider your vote later this month."

State Democratic leader mastermind in tea party plot, convicted ex-official says
http://tinyurl.com/aup3wmh
The former chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party, who was convicted for his involvement with a scheme to sign up fake tea party candidates for the 2010 election, now says that Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer was the mastermind behind the plot.
...."I thought I was being a loyal party soldier, doing just what the Republicans would do," he wrote. "I deserve all the scorn I got.
I'm not interested in relitigating the past, but I got six felonies and he got another term as chair."
Why do we have two sets of rules when politicians lie, steal and cheat?!!
One for democrats and an entirely different rule for GOPers.
Does anyone benefit when the MSM allows democrats to lie, cheat and steal at will?
Take a look at ANY democrat controlled city and tell me how that's worked out for the kids and the poor!

Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Groundhogs
Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Groundhogs | The Thoughtful Animal, Scientific American Blog Network
1. A groundhog by any other name.
Groundhogs are also variously referred to as woodchucks, whistle-pigs, land-beavers, or marmots.
The name whistle-pig comes from the fact that, when alarmed, a groundhog will emit a high-pitched whistle as a warning to the rest of his or her colony.
The name woodchuck has nothing to do with wood.
Or chucking.
It is derived from the Algonquian name for the critters, wuchak.

Ten Years After Columbia
PJ Media » Ten Years After Columbia:
We will never know what thoughts went through the minds of Columbia’s doomed crew in that last minute in which they were becoming aware of their imminent peril.
Perhaps, being the rational pilots and engineers that they were, they were simply focused on trying to save the ship.
It could have been something as pragmatic as, “I wish that we’d had a better look at the leading edge of that wing.”
What we can know is that they died doing something that they had worked years to be able to do, and they loved it, and thought it important.
If we now fear to open up the high frontier because of what happened to them, they will have died in vain.
RIP brave heroes
