Obama's Big Michigan Right-To-Work Lie: Lower Wages The
president says right-to-work laws mean "the right to work for less
money." So how does he explain the fact that incomes are up in RTW
states while forced unionism is a proven job killer?
According to
Michigan's Mackinac Center, using data taken from the Bureau of Economic
Analysis and Bureau of Labor Statistics, private-sector,
inflation-adjusted employee compensation in right-to-work states
increased by 12% between 2001 and 2011 compared with just 3% over the
same period in forced-unionization states.

Steven Crowder is in Michigan recording the protests that are taking place. At some point, as Moe Lane
noted earlier,
the crowd started tearing down the AFP [Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group] tent that was there. When
Crowder attempted to intervene, he was assaulted by multiple protestors
with one protestor even shouting that he would “kill a mother f__ker
with a gun.”

[I love the way Charles
Krauthammer describes this business: we have the choice of allowing more
[union] workers to hire fewer people at much higher salaries and
benefits, or we can instead "spread the wealth", "redistribute" the jobs
at slightly lower wages to more people." Now why wouldn't our
President like that? While we are at it, why can't we call the Bush tax
cuts what it is - a subsidy.] http://www.redstate.com/2012/12/11/union-thugs-shout-ill-kill-a-mother-f-ker-with-a-gun-while-assaulting-opponents/

Jimmy Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters,
said Tuesday he expects Michigan unions and lawmakers to break out into
"civil war" after the state legislature passed right-to-work bills that
would weaken unions´ power. "This is just the first round of a battle
that´s going to divide this state. We´re going to have a civil war,"
Hoffa said on CNN´s "Newsroom."
"What they're doing is basically betraying democracy," he told CNN's
Brooke Baldwin. "If there's any question here, let's put it on the
ballot and let the people of Michigan decide what's good for Michigan."
[Didn't we just do this on one of the ballot initiatives in MI? The
proposal would have made collective bargaining a right for public and
private workers, but was defeated. It is THEY who are betraying
democracy by forcing people to join a union and pay union dues in order
to hold a job.] http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/11/hoffa-predicts-civil-war-in-michigan/

Exposed
by Jonathan Turley: Last year, universities received a seemingly
friendly "Dear Colleague" letter from the [Obama] Administration
demanding that schools actually reduce due process protections in
disciplinary hearings for accused students and faculty in sexual
misconduct cases,. If they did not, the letter warned, they could lose
federal funding and face discrimination charges.. The helpful
"colleague" was the assistant secretary for civil rights at the
Department of Education, explaining that reduction of protections for
students was essential for preserving education as "the great equalizer
in America". [Keep the false Duke Lacrosse Team rape charges in
mind. Reinforcing due process for students has been condemned by the
Obama Administration.]

An international education must go well beyond the provision of
information and is involved in the development of attitudes and values
which transcend barriers of race, class, religion, gender or politics.
—International Baccalaureate Organization Subject Guide (1996).
Should we spend taxpayer dollars on a public school curriculum
commissioned by the United Nations, made in Europe, and at odds with the
principles of the American founding? Through the International
Baccalaureate program, that's already underway.
Across the country, public schools (primarily high schools, but also
middle and elementary schools) are paying into the International
Baccalaureate (IB) program. Now, there are 1,296 IB "World Schools" in
the United States, of which 279 offer the Primary Years Programme, 445
offer the Middle Years Programme, and 751 offer the Diploma Programme.
But a growing chorus of parents and concerned citizens oppose IB because
of its conflict with America's founding principles.
IB was founded in 1968 in Switzerland to provide internationally standardized curricula for the children of diplomats.

Only 7% of Detroit Public-School 8th Graders Proficient in Reading. [But lets keep giving those in the Dept. of Education more and more money for salaries so that they will do a better job?

One million Americans entered poverty in the last two months [It is all about how "poverty" is now defined in America. As those who have read my columns know, one of the strategies of college professors Cloward and Piven is to put more and more people on government assistance programs, making them more and more dependent on being taken care of. This is a way to collapse capitalism and have citizens wanting the protection of the government. Then Socialism will be accepted.]
Four
more years! Four more years! And we thought last month´s delayed
foodstamp data was bad. The just reported foodstamp number for September
was a doozy, with 607,544 new Americans becoming eligible for
foodstamps, as a record 47.7 million Americans are now living in poverty
at least according to the USDA. The monthly increase was the highest
since May 2011, and with August´s 421K new impoverished America, over 1
million Americans made the EBT card their new best friend. It is unclear
just which atmospheric phenomenon will get the blame for this
unprecedented surge in poverty,

Senator slams USDA for not answering questions on policies contributing to record food stamp use. Following news that
participation in the food stamp program hit another record high in
September, Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions took to the Senate
floor Tuesday to lambast the Department of Agriculture for failing to
respond to an oversight request regarding USDA policies that have likely
contributed to the expansion of the program.
The
Alabama senator has been pushing USDA for answers on their various
means of food stamp promotion — notably to people who either do not want
or who should not be on food stamps. While he said he has received some
answers that were “very troubling,” his most recent request in
October (with a mid-October deadline) for more answers and for USDA to
eliminate some of their promotion materials has remained unanswered for
nearly two months.

White House “Holiday” Card Spotlights Dog, Not Christmas. The 2012 White House “Holiday” card spotlights the Obama’s family Portuguese water dog — instead of Christmas.
President
Obama’s”holiday” cards have been the subject of controversy in the
past. His 2009 greeting card made no reference to Christmas, drawing
the ire of Republican Congressman Henry Brown.
“I
believe that sending a Christmas card without referencing a holiday and
its purpose limits the Christmas celebration in favor of a more
‘politically correct’ holiday,” the South Carolina congressman told Fox
News Radio in 2009.
