To listen to politicians is to be given the opposite impression — of a dangerous, cruel world where things are bad and getting worse. http://www.spectator.co.uk/the-week/leading-article/8789981/glad-tidings/

Judicial Watch achieved a significant legal victory last week – and it may lead to cleaner elections. On December 10, 2012, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, denied Indiana’s motion to dismiss our historic election integrity lawsuit (Judicial Watch, et al. v. King, et al. (No. 1:12-cv-00800)). We allege that the state of Indiana failed to maintain clean voter registration lists as required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), and now we will have our day in court. Make no mistake, this is a HUGE victory for election integrity. True the Vote, the grassroots clean elections watchdog, is both our client and co-plaintiff in this important lawsuit. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/17/Judge-Rules-Election-Fraud-Lawsuit-Can-Continue

A professor of history turned to Twitter over the weekend to call for the death of National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre, branding the gun rights group he heads as a terrorist organization.

Gunfire erupted at the Mayan Palace Theatre on Southwest Military Sunday night just before 9:30 pm. This shooting comes just days after a deadly rampage at a school in Connecticut and sparks memories of the the mass slaying at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
An armed off-duty deputy working security was able to take down the shooter before he could kill anyone. http://redflagnews.com/headlines/developing-armed-off-duty-cop-prevents-mass-shooting-in-san-antonio

Harry Beck, a telecommunications engineer and a member of the Communication Workers of America union, challenged in 1966 the union’s practice of using dues for outside bargaining activity, including political activities. The Supreme Court handed Beck a landmark unanimous victory in 1988 when it ruled that unions had to offer employees the option of paying partial dues used exclusively for employer negotiations.
However, unions have a bad track record of charging workers their fair share and cooperating with individual appeals of allegedly inappropriate agency fees. Unions have minimized the Supreme Court’s ruling by tying up so-called “Beck rights” in endless red tape. http://freebeacon.com/fight-for-your-beck-rights/

The contract that allows the Service Employees International Union to take money from home-based caregivers has a date for which it will finally end.
-In 2005, the SEIU perpetrated a forced unionization of Michigan's home-based caregivers. Beginning the following year, dues started being taken from the Medicaid checks of the caregivers and sent to the union. The scheme has enriched SEIU coffers by more than $33 million. A running tally is ongoing with the Michigan Capitol Confidential “Skim Tracker.” http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/18078

Under the state's new right-to-work law, workers must wait for a union contract to expire before opting out of pyaing dues or fees. In that time, unions may try to extend contracts before the right-to-work law takes effect. To get employers to agree, unions may offer any number of contract concessions to get employers to accept the deal. Workers also would have to approve a contract extension, but may agree to concessions fearing their dues will increase if others drop out.
Unions may also try to intimidate their members into staying put. Unions could have huge leverage over non-members in handling grievance and disciplinary proceedures. http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/18081

This is amazing, especially considering that Diane Feinstein is leading the charge on tougher gun laws and Harry Reid will bring her bill up for a vote at some point. They both have explained the need for people to carry guns. Here is Feinstein from 1995: http://www.therightscoop.com/turns-out-both-harry-reid-and-diane-feinstein-have-carried-guns-for-their-protection/
