I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.— Benjamin Franklin, On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor; 29 November 1766

Through the combined
efforts of grassroots across Michigan contacting the Senate
Committee Chair, the members of
the Senate Appropriations Committee were "not comfortable with
proceeding with a supplemental bill (appropriating the 30.9 million) at
this time". {This concerns the Obamacare state exchanges - which
we will not now have, joining around 27 other states!}

My
friends, there is hope. Law enforcement officers at the local level are making
their stand and they want you to be a part of that. While I’ve written on
various sheriffs that have made their own stance to protect their citizens from
anyone attempting to confiscate guns, I recently ran across Police Chief Mark
Kessler of the Gilberton Borough Police Department in Pennsylvania. He wants
citizens to join with his police department in building a “reserve force” that
will aid his police force should the need arise to resist Federal authorities
when it comes to the Second Amendment.
I spoke
with Chief Kessler and he is most definitely a patriot and a Constitutionalist.
The police force is quite small in his town and, much like my own town,
criminal activity is not rampant.

Four California
high-school students were reportedly suspended for chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!” and
wearing American flag bandanas during a basketball game. While their punishment
has since been rescinded, school administrators said “the incident is far from
over.”
Oxnard Union School District
superintendent Gabe Soumakian told Fox News Radio that “we need to pursue this further”
and “work with teachers and students and the community about the concept of
cultural proficiency.” Soumakian and Camarillo High School principal Glenn
Lipman felt that the students’ actions might have had racist undertones since
the schools have large Hispanic student populations. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/340639/students-told-stop-usa-chant-take-american-flag-bandanas-andrew-johnson

President Obama won reelection in part
by beating up on his opponent for receiving big corporate payouts in exchange
for dubious work and for socking away money in tax havens such as the Cayman
Islands.
So it’s a bit, well, rich that Obama
chose as his new Treasury secretary a man who received a big corporate payout
for dubious work and who socked away money in the Cayman Islands. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dana-milbank-senators-turn-the-tables-on-caymans-investor-jack-lew/2013/02/13/d01cac80-7631-11e2-95e4-6148e45d7adb_story.html?hpid=z4hen

In the wake of an ABC News story
detailing claims by victims of the Fort Hood shooting that they have been
neglected by the military and 'betrayed' by President Obama, the chair of the
House Homeland Security Committee has sent a letter to his fellow members of
Congress demanding that the Obama administration classify the attack as a
terrorist act and provide full benefits to the victims and their families.
"It is time for the
administration to recognize the Fort Hood shooting for what it is—an act of
terrorism," wrote Rep. Michael McCaul, R.-Texas, in a letter cosigned by
Rep. Frank Wolf, R.-Virginia. "To date, the Department of Defense and the
Army classify this attack [as] 'workplace violence,' despite mountains of evidence
[that] clearly proves the Ft. Hood shooting was an act of terror." http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/members-congress-demand-obama-administration-classify-ft-hood/story?id=18493746

A peer-reviewed
survey of 1077 geoscientists
and engineers finds that "only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers
believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis," according to
James Taylor, writing at Forbes.com. As he points out, if there is a scientific consensus
at all, it would have to be skepticism toward anthropogenic global warming. Yet
President Obama in his State of the Union speech Tuesday cited the
now-discredited notion of such a consensus as the foundation
of his green agenda.
It is bunk.

While Barack Hussein Obama is firing 20,000 Marines as part of
his massive purge of the United States military to “save money”, he’s also
fighting to send $700 million to the terrorists of the Palestinian
Authority.
On Feb 8th, Obama
issued yet another waiver for Palestinian Authority aid, claiming that sending
money to the corrupt undemocratic terrorist kleptocracy that refuses to
negotiate a peaceful solution was “important to the national security interests

Missouri Democrats introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals. They will have 90 days to turn in their guns if the legislation is passed.

Missouri Democrats introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals. They will have 90 days to turn in their guns if the legislation is passed.
Dana Loesch Radio reported on the new legislation being
pushed by Missouri Democrats:
Any person who, prior to the effective
date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large
capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of
the following without being subject to prosecution. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/02/missouri-democrats-intruduce-legislation-to-confiscate-firearms-gives-gunowners-90-days-to-turn-in-guns/

On Tuesday only one precinct had less
than 113% turnout. “The Unofficial vote count is 175,554
registered voters 247,713 vote cards cast (141.10% ). The National SEAL Museum,
a St. Lucie county polling place, had 158.85% voter turn out, the highest in
the county.”
The Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude
Walker, had this to say concerning the 141% voter turnout: “They may have had
something like that in Palm Beach County, but we’ve never seen that here.”
So maybe Allen West wasn’t crazy to
ask for a lock-down on the ballot boxes and machines in this county. According
to the report given the day after elections, Allen B. West garnered 52,625
votes in St.Lucie county and Patrick Murphy 65,896 votes. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/heatherginsberg/2012/11/10/breaking_massive_voter_fraud_in_st_lucie_county_florida

Homeschooling leaders
in the United States, while deeply concerned about the fate of the Romeikes and
hundreds of other persecuted German home-educating families, are also sounding
the alarm about the legal arguments being made by the Obama administration —
specifically how they relate to Americans’ freedoms. The German government, of
course, continues to enforce and justify its draconian ban on the right to
homeschool by claiming the purpose is to “counteract the development of
religious and philosophically motivated parallel societies.” Essentially, authorities
there argue that everybody must think the same.
Incredibly, however, the U.S. Justice Department claimed in court filings that such policies do not constitute a violation of fundamental human rights, at least not as long as everybody’s rights are infringed upon equally. In other words, the U.S. government is basically arguing that a total ban on homeschooling does not violate fundamental rights. In its response to the family’s appeal, Holder also claimed that there was no religious persecution involved because all homeschoolers are not religious and not all Christians choose to educate their children at home.

“This argument
necessarily means that the United States government believes that it would not
violate your rights if our own government banned homeschooling entirely,” noted
Farris. “After all, you could teach your children your own values after they
have had 22-26 hours of public school indoctrination aimed at counteracting
religious and philosophical views the government doesn’t like.”
That argument leads
logically to deeply troubling conclusions. “When the United States government
says that homeschooling is a mutable choice — they are saying that it is a
characteristic that a government can legitimately coerce you to change,” Farris
explained. “In other words, you have no protected right to choose the education
for your children. Our nation could remove your ability to homeschool and your
choice would be mutable — since the government
has the authority to force you to implement their wishes.”
