A top Michigan Democratic lawmaker urged President Obama to withhold
federal funds for major state infrastructure projects in order to force
Republican Governor Rick Snyder to veto the state’s controversial
right-to-work bill.

Two days after the U.S. Senate unanimously violated their oaths of
office and passed the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),
members of the Michigan State House of Representatives unanimously defended the Constitution,
passing a bill stopping enforcement of the indefinite detention of
Americans within the sovereign borders of the state of Michigan.- http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/13848-michigan-state-reps-unanimously-pass-bill-nullifying-ndaa

“This is painful for a liberal to admit,” writes liberal New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, “but conservatives have a point when they suggest that America’s safety net can sometimes entangle people in soul-crushing dependency.”
Kristof is writing from Breathitt County, Ky., deep in the Appalachian mountains, about mothers whose Supplemental Security Income benefits will decrease if their children learn to read. Kristof notes that 55% of children qualifying for SSI benefits do so because of “fuzzier intellectual disabilities short of mental retardation,” far more than four decades ago when SSI was just a new program. http://washingtonexaminer.com/barone-soul-crushing-dependency/article/2515441#.UMZgdoatunE

A United States-based Internet company is currently hosting a propaganda website operated by the terror group Hezbollah, potentially in violation of a law meant to prevent Americans from providing material support to U.S.-designated terror groups.
The Missouri-based GSI Hosting is granting server space to Al Manar TV, which is owned and funded by Hezbollah, according to research provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). http://freebeacon.com/hosting-hate/

Mark Mix, president of National Right to Work, has helped states across the country defend the laws. He expects one of his toughest battles yet in Michigan.
“Labor leaders jealously guard their privilege of forcing everyone into unions but the message is clearer in this case: If Michigan can do these labor reforms, anyone can,” he said.
“The symbolism is central to whatever challenge [unions] raise—it would be quite embarrassing for the union movement to lose Michigan,” Wright said. “It sends a strong statement about weakened labor influence.”
President Barack Obama, who received millions of dollars from labor groups, slammed the law on Monday. http://freebeacon.com/right-to-sue/

[Think you like Jamie Foxx and his work?] Two weeks ago, Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx made national headlines when he called President Obama "Our lord and savior."
While hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, Foxx joked about how in his new film "Django Unchained," "I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
And I got a movie coming out, "Django," check it out. Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson. “Django Unchained” I play a slave. How black is that? And in the movie I had to wear chains. How whack is that? But don't be worried about it because I get out the chains, I get free, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? And how black is that?

But I'm going to tell you right now, speaking of blackness, my
President, President Obama is back up in the White House four more
years. How black is that? And not only that, he’s so black, he was
playing basketball during the Election Day. How black is that? But he
was also late for his acceptance speech. Okay, all the white people,
this is your turn - how black is that?

The same methods apply to selling candidates, and the Obama organizations were far more effective than Romney’s at exploiting their understanding of our habits and desires. They had a great deal of specific information about voters, and were able to target individuals with a degree of accuracy that was vastly superior to the Republicans’ methods. Listen to one of my favorite commentators, Debra Saunders:
A professor at the University of Texas has sparked outrage by claiming black and Hispanic students are failing academically because they have been raised in single parent homes usually by females.
Law professor Lino Graglia was talking to the BBC when he said he could 'hardly imagine a less beneficial or more deleterious experience than to be raised by a single parent, usually female, uneducated and without a lot of money.'

-A source with personal knowledge of the security situation in Benghazi told Breitbart News that Senators who listened to closed door testimony about the Benghazi attack were shocked to learn State Department security personnel agents were not immediately armed.
Additionally, agents separated from Ambassador Chris Stevens left to retrieve their M4 weapons in a separate building. Only one returned to protect the Ambassador, while the other two hunkered down in the barracks, the source relayed.“From the accounts I read, those guys were not ready. When the attack came that night, they had to go back to the other room and grab their weapons. Then the worse part about it was they never even returned to be with the Ambassador. One returned to be with the Ambassador with his rifle. The other two went back to where there were [sic] barracks. And two stayed in that same building where there were radios and other weapons and the safe and other stuff was there.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were no shots fired in return. On the embassy property, just the embassy property, none of those security agents blasted a single bullet from a single pistol or rifle at all in defense of the Ambassador—nothing.” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/12/10/Benghazi-Source-Unarmed

Listen to one of my favorite commentators, Debra Saunders:
Team Obama conducted nightly surveys of 9,000 likely voters in 10 battleground states. Because of those surveys, campaign manager Jim Messina told the gathering, “We thought we knew exactly where the electorate was.” The campaign’s targeting was so tight that national field director Jeremy Bird was able to see support slacken at Ohio State University and respond by multiplying the campaign’s presence. Messina claimed, “We knew exactly who we had to go get.” http://pjmedia.com/michaelledeen/2012/12/10/we-knew-exactly-who-we-had-to-go-get/?singlepage=true------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
