On MSNBC Wednesday morning Monica Novotny, interviewed Meme Roth. Who is Meme Roth? She is an anti-obesity activist in California. What were they discussing? A new law in Santa Clara County that bans the distribution of toys in kids meals at fast food restaurants. The law claims that these fast food marketers use the toys as a device to lure children in and to coerce them to eat more junk food.
Really? Kids would be eating vegetables and healthier if Ronald McDonald and his evil clown face didn't hand out toys with happy meals?
Give me break. And then instead of asking important questions or debating the other side Monica Novotny says: I think this is a big fight that you're taking on because these fast food chains have big endorsement deals with movie companies whenever there's a big film being released. These are big promotions and they've got big financial incentive to keep these. So I wonder if there's not a way to do it so that, I'm afraid you're going to lose the battle and I don't want to lose the battle, if you know what I'm saying.
Yeah your saying your leftist agenda is exactly what we need! Parents should not be responsible for what they buy for their kids, that should be up to the Government and is the responsible for the people. Not the other way around. Are you kidding me?
Shouldn't the parents be responsible with their child's well being. Or hey why is this even an issue, what makes the government or you the police of what people eat. Or kids are obese today, it's not because or public schooling system sucks so much that kids have to play to play or when budget cuts are needed they cut gym. Or better yet, should the parents be telling their kids to go outside and play instead of sitting them in front of the tv? This is a joke and I hope McDonald's and others fight this.

Obama to Wall Street
Hey Obama is 5.5 million dollars a year enough? Because that is how much you made last year. At no point has anyone made too much money. This is Capitalism. Not Communism.

Say no to amnesty
If the Obama administration gets their way they will grant amnesty. On their "pathway to citizenship." Even though 60% of the American people favor immigration reform of that of Arizona's new bill (Rasmussen Reports).
And how would amnesty affect you? 40% to 60% of illegal immigrants do not have a high school diploma and most of them have low paying jobs, and according to The Heritage Foundation illegal immigrants cost $3 to $4 dollars for every dollar they would pay in taxes.
In some cases illegal immigrants would qualify for benefits such as, welfare, food stamps, medicaid and certain tax-credits you don't have to pay a Federal Income Tax to qualify for.
According to FOX news people earning under $15,000 would have paid an estimated $1.27 over five years. The same average for those making $30,000 to $50,000k would be $48. The bill would have cost Americans bringing home $100,000 to $200,000 an average of $365 over five years, or $73 a year.
The costs alone are too much to bear on the American tax payer in an already struggling economy.

Oh the lies the MSM tells
The Christian Science monitor claims that there are only 67,000 Tea Party Members nationwide.
While Newsweek claims some lady threw a coffee party, on a whim and 200,000 people showed.
Let's think about this for a minute and look at some facts. Let's just go with how many people like each movement on Facebook. (keep in mind also the MSM discussed the "coffee" party and they had 166,000 members on Facebook in days. While the MSM never gives the Tea Party attention).
COFFEE PARTY - 206,727, 1,627, 41 total members of top three "like" pages on Facebook
=208,401
TEA PARTY - 185,065, 1,065, 67,090 total members of the top three like pages on Facebook
=253,220
But if you go state by state and look at the figures the number for the "coffee" party the numbers drop considerably compared to the Tea Parties.
MICHIGAN COFFEE PARTY 1,627
MICHIGAN TEA PARTY- oh yeah that's right we don't have links to sites on the corporate Facebook page like the "coffee" party.
And if you look at the numerous pictures of the rallies...oh wait there is none.
But I can tell you that 3000+ showed up in Clinton twp. when the tea party express was here and only 44 showed up for the "coffee" party when they held a rally in Troy. And 1 million Tea Partiers Marched on Washington 9/12.
You be the judge.

Around the week in a few short stories
GM PAYS BACK AUTO BAILOUT?
Well not really, GM was able to repay the money by drawing down on a line of credit that it had from TARP! In other words, GM took funds still available to it through TARP and used those funds to repay the loan it received from the government. Of course, it now owes $4.7 billion on its line of credit with TARP, but, that doesn't make for good news, so it wasn't reported.
ARIZONA PASSES IMMIGRATION BILL
In a controversial move and fed up with waiting for the federal government to step in and help Arizona passed sweeping legislation. The measure creates a new state misdemeanor crime of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document. It would allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they're legally in the country.
DETROIT POLICE: STRIP CLUB EMPLOYED 14 YEAR OLD
The manager of a Detroit strip club was charged after authorities learned a 14-year-old girl was employed as a topless dancer, making several hundred dollars a night, authorities said Friday. The 31-year-old manager of the All Star topless bar was arraigned Friday on a charge of child sexually abusive activity. Andrew Hutson was arrested Wednesday night at the club on Eight Mile Road. The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, is believed to have danced at the club several nights each week, making about $350 per night, Police Chief Warren Evans said at a news conference across the street from the establishment.

Just a few stories, untill next time.
Obama hates gays... Seriously.
Earlier this week A group of Gay Rights Protesters chained themselves to the White House fence. The small demonstration consisted of 6 military veterans who handcuffed themselves to the fence. They group was protesting the "don't ask, don't tell policy that Obama promised to repeal months ago. The don't ask, don't tell policy bans gays from openly serving in the military.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
When reporters tried to cover the event police stepped in and declared the park to be closed, backing up reporters and citizens to Lafayette Park.
The closure lasted 15-20 minutes and police changed their minds about "closing" the park and let the reporters and public back in just as they were getting arrested.
No where could I find this on the MSM and I ask, if this was still Bush's Administration would the coverage be different? I think we all know the answer to this one.

Debbie Does Government Agencies too.
Instead of the S E C (the securities and exchange commission) doing their job, policing the financial system, they were downloading hours of porn on Government issued computers throughout the worst collapse of the economy in 70 years.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The memo says 31 of those probes occurred in the 2 1/2 years since the financial system teetered and nearly crashed.
Not only does this violate Government wide ethics rules but it was all done on... You guessed the American taxpayers expense.
The report comes just days after the
S E C charged Goldman Sachs with fraud and days before the Senate tries to overhaul the financial system.
The memo was written by SEC Inspector General David Kotz in response to a request from Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. It summarizes past inspector general probes and reports some shocking findings:
-- A senior attorney at the SEC's Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography. When he ran out of hard drive space, he burned the files to CDs or DVDs, which he kept in boxes around his office. He agreed to resign, an earlier watchdog report said.
-- An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "Sex" or "Pornography." Yet he still managed to amass a collection of "very graphic" material on his hard drive by using Google images to bypass the SEC's internal filter, according to an earlier report from the inspector general. The accountant refused to testify in his defense, and received a 14-day suspension.
-- Seventeen of the employees were "at a senior level," earning salaries of up to $222,418.
-- The number of cases jumped from two in 2007 to 16 in 2008. The cracks in the financial system emerged in mid-2007 and spread into full-blown panic by the fall of 2008.
Another Government Agency that fails to protect the markets and the American people.

I'm a socialist
This week former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told a young Democratic Socialist group that they should "do everything they can to build their organization and the times we are living in are worse then the Jim Crow era."
She then went on to say "Any of these groups that says, "I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist," is okay with me. You know that's no light thing to do -- to actually say, I'm a socialist."
But wait there's more "They are coming. And they are coming after you. And they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They've already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement -- a bowel-movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism..."
Here is why this is such a big deal or as Joe Biden would say "a big f**king deal.". One, although ACORN "disbanded" when they were caught on video helping "clients" cover up a prostitution ring. Unfortunately they never actually disbanded and to make matters worse Congress who took away there federal funding months ago just reinstated it.
Two, like I just said they receive federal funding and they received huge amounts of money in Obama's "stimulus" bill. Why should my tax money go to this socialist group?
Three, they covered up or at least tried to cover up voter fraud.
The problem I have is that Obama is very close to this group I mean he practically started his career there. And to top it off the only reason they were included in the stimulus is because Obama had to give them a kickback for helping him get elected.
So our taxpayer money will still go to ACORN and we still will fund liars and the only way to change it is to vote them out in November.

An Inconvenient Dupe
Another country (New Zealand) is now looking into whether or not to show a warning before showing Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" in schools.
In 2007 a British judge ruled that the movie contained so much false information that it had to be disclosed to students before being shown.
The petition in New Zealand signed by 250 people argues that students should not be exposed to political indoctrination and asks Parliament to insert into the Education Act provisions similar to those in the British act.
In order for the film to be shown [in England], the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children. [Newsbusters]
Instead of informing children or these things why just not show the movie? It has been proven to be inaccurate and with the recent scandal of climategate. And to add to that only 18% of American people think global climate change is real.
Al Gore invented Global Climate Change just like he invented the internet.

Speak Softly and Carry a BIG stick
In the 1900's Theodore Roosevelt said, "speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far." And in 2010 Kenyetta Wilbourn does just that. Wilbourn is Principle of one of Detroit's worst performing high schools and to protect herself she uses an aluminium baseball bat. In 2007 Wilbourn started carrying the bat as an assistant principle when a violent fight broke out. Rather than rushing in head first, she grabbed the bat her 9-year-old son had left in her office and worked her way through a crowd that was beating a young man, who eventually died.
"There was chaos everywhere," Wilbourn told the WJR this morning. "My first thought when responding to a 'code red' was to grab my bat. And I found while the bat didn't save the life, it saved me, and I've carried it ever since."
And while it may seem that a principle carrying a baseball bat is out of line, Wilborn maintains that she only carries the bat for self-defense and as of yet no parents have complained.
And just to be clear Wilbourn does not carry the bat at all times only when she is patrolling halls and is outside on campus.
Although the schools academics are declining I would like to commend this lady for not worrying about political correctness. She feels threatened and instead of someone explaining to her family that she was killed, she is taking steps herself to protect and defend not only herself but her students as well.
"What we try to provide for the students is what some of them may not have at home, and that's the feeling of belonging to a village and family," she said.
"If you intend to do anything that might disrupt the process, then you don't belong in the village, and there must be some place else your parent might want to take you, because you won't survive or last at Denby;" Wibourn.

Deutsch incorrectly labels IRS bomber a Republican
MSNBC's Donny Deutsch kicked off a week long segment this week, "America the Angry.". In the segment he hinted that certain people in this country could incite an Oklahoma City style attack.
He then goes on to mention Joe Stack, the moron that flew a plane into an IRS building. Here is the direct quote, "I don't know. Whether he was Republican or Democrat I am assuming he was probably a Republican."
Are you serious? This is wrong on so many levels the first being that you are a journalist. You don't assume anything especially on air in front of an audience. Second, who cares what party this guy belonged to. This guy was a straight up wacko. But let's play MSNBC's game let's assume this guy was a Republican and take a look at the facts.
1. Joe Stack in his manifesto argued against capitalism (Sounds like Democrat to me).
2. He hated Bush and ranted against the war in Iraq (Sounds like a democrat to me).
3. He quoted the Communist Manifesto (sounds like a Democrat to me).
Now when you actually look at the facts you can obviously tell he was a Democrat. But that is not the point. The point is MSNBC and it's counter parts are the ones inciting violence. Saying everything has racial undertones. The only good thing is MSNBC only has 3 viewers.

Mr. Clinton What Happened?
This week former President Clinton announced that Congress should be careful in what they say because of the rise in Right Wing Extremism. Then Mr. Clinton went on to say "it should not be forgotten what drove the Oklahoma bombers. They took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government and that public servants do not protect our freedoms but abuse them."
So now you are linking the OC bombing to the Tea Partiers? What are you trying to say Mr. Clinton? Needless to say that today was very uneventful. No bombings, no hate rallies, No one getting all crazy because of what Tim McVeigh, a Domestic Terrorist, decided to to that fateful day 15 years ago.
The Tea Partiers are not hateful, we do not want to destroy the Government, we do not want to blow up buildings, or kill people.
Mr. President I think you need to apologize for your remarks you should also apologize for your lousy presidency.
Check out the article here Political Rhetoric.

Are you Serious?
During the April 11, TPE in Clinton Township my Uncle Bob, Cousin Keith, Dad and I were interviewed by an independent blogger named Matt Lane. He has his own blog (which can be found here) Politifeed and you can also become a fan of his Facebook page Politifeed Fan Page.
Now he interviewed us for a good 5-10 minutes, I will be fair and say that he did ask some good questions however, he claims to be unbiased, but as I am about to show you he is not.
Here is the video...
Clinton Township TPE
You can see us at the 1:15 mark and we got 10 seconds in this video. And the only line that he used was from my Uncle Bob saying "no we are not upset, we are pissed." Here is my question to Mr. Lane. You claim to be an unbiased journalist but this video clearly shows you being biased. You cut from the video what you Choose to show. Show everything we said to you Mr. Lane. We made good valid points and because they did not fit your point of view you decided to cut it out.
I told you from the beginning that I knew that you were a lib. I watched you operate the whole time. You want to be unbiased show the whole video. I look at your Facebook fan page and all you talk about is liberal issues you do not have a fair and balanced point of view.
Don't come back either and say that I don't either, because I will tell you I don't. I try to look at things from a liberal point of view but I can't stomach the nonsense.
I told you I would come to your site, I told you that you were a liberal. You did an excellent editing job I just wish your blog followers knew how biased you really are.

Tax Day Tea Party
This Thursday Americans tired of big Government and more taxes took to the streets and protested. The news media would like to portray us as racists and uneducated morons but we know the truth. My family and I decided to go to Lansing and protest at the Capital. We had a great time and the speakers we very informative and at times very entertaining. Our last speaker was amazing. Unfortunately I did not get his name or website and can not find it anywhere. If someone knows the name of this speaker or has a way to find this information out I would really like to know. I believe he is on AM radio in Flint Michigan.
Again the MSM was pathetic I read every article that I could find about the Tea Parties that took place all over the state and every single one just HAD to interview the one progressive that was there. I know that we need to be fair and balanced but they point out on the tea party side the crazies. They find the person with the most on unbelievable sign and interview them. Like the Hitler LaRoache signs (just so you know MSM that is a democrat that makes those signs). And then they don't even talk about the real issues. We are not anti-taxes and anti-government.
The tea party protesters are anti-big government they believe that we are Taxed Enough Already not that we should not pay any taxes. They are people from all races, and all political affiliations. But the media will not portray us that way. They will not tell you the real story, because stories based on facts don't make the news. Stories based on a liberal bias do.

Andy Stern
Well I had a very long day and I was going to talk at length about Andy Stern stepping down from the head of the SEIU but it is late so I will just copy and paste the morning bell from the Heritage Foundation.
If you are not a fan of the Heritage Foundation I highly suggest it. You can reach them here www.heritage.org they offer a morning bell newsletter to your mail box each morning they also have a blog called the Foundry. They are a conservative site have a lot of great information.
Last night, Politico reported that Service Employees International Union President Andrew Stern is expected to resign and, according to The New York Times, the resignation is about to happen very soon. If Stern does resign, he will be doing so while at the top of his game. Stern told The Las Vegas Sun last year: "We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama - $60.7 million to be exact - and we're proud of it." President Obama is well aware of his huge debt to the SEIU. That is why he admits in his autobiography, "I owe those unions." And it also explains why Stern is the most frequent Obama White House visitor, according to official visitor logs.
Stern's access to President Obama has already paid huge dividends including: an $862 billion stimulus that prevented states from having to cut-back government union jobs or wages; $2.5 trillion in new government health care spending, much of which will go to unionizedhealth care providers; and the appointment of SEIU associate general counsel Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. The NYT describes the SEIU under Stern's tenure as "the nation’s most politically active union, with 1.9 million members." The marriage of politics to union organizing has been great for SEIU membership, making it the fastest-growing union in America.
But what has been great for SEIU's membership rolls has not been good for the SEIU's bottom line. Growing union membership through politics is expensive. The Wall Street Journal reports that as recently as 2002, total SEIU liabilities were about $8 million. But by 2008, the union owed more than $156 million, a 30% increase over the $120 million it owed in 2007. And make no mistake, lobbying government is where Stern believes the future of SEIU is. After President Obama's election, SEIU fired 75 national field staff and organizers so that the SEIU could "reallocate resources ... to lobbying and communications in Washington."
In fact, taking a more critical look at SEIU's recent growth, The Washington Post reports: "some of its biggest gains in recent years were less the result of shoe-leather organizing and more the result of deals with major employers or politicians -- including former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich." Specifically,Blagojevich signed a state law handing over 49,000 state child care workers to SEIU local 880, which is run by the notorious community organizing group ACORN.The deal nearly tripled SEIU 880’s income from $7 million in 2005 to $21 million in 2007. This came after SEIU’s Illinois Political Action Committee gave Gov. Blagojevich $908,000, making it the single largest campaign contributor for his re-election campaign.
It is no coincidence that under Stern's tenure the number of government union members surpassed the number of private sector union members for the first time in our nation's history. There are two reasons for this: 1) Unions kill private sector jobs, and unionized companies earn profits 15% lower than those of comparable non-union firms. This makes unionized firms less competitive, which is why unionized manufacturing jobs fell 75% between 1977 and 2008, while non-union manufacturing INCREASED 6% over that same time. 2) Government union jobs face no competition. Public sectorunionization has exploded in the past decade as leaders like Stern realized politics paid much better than the free market.Under Stern's leadership, SEIU has become the nation's second largest government union with over half of its membership drawing a paycheck on the taxpayers dime.
Explaining how organized labor really works, US Court of Appeals judge for the 7th Circuit Richard Posner recently wrote:
Except that in Stern's America, union management no longer redistribute wealth from firms to union members. With the majority of union members now working for the government, Andy Stern and his cohorts are extorting money from you, the taxpayer. And where is that money going? Not into shoring up union member pensions. Those are woefully underfunded. No, the Andy Sterns of the world turn around and use their taxpayer-funded government union dues to lobby for an even larger government that can pay for even more government union jobs. Andy Stern's America is a perpetual government dependency machine.
And don't think for a second that Stern's retirement means he is gone for good. Stern is still a proud member of President Obama's deficit commission. Complete reliance on government growth, crippling debt, and Blagojevich-style corruption. That is what Andy Stern did to the SEIU, and it is what Stern and President Obama will do to this country.
Tomorrow: TAX DAY TEA PARTY

The goal of unions is to redistribute wealth from the owners and managers of firms, and from workers willing to work for very low wages, to the unionized workers and the union’s officers. … Unions, in other words, are worker cartels. … There is also a long history of union corruption. And some union activity is extortionate: the union and the employer tacitly agree that as long as the employer gives the workers a wage increase slightly above the union dues, the union will leave the employer alone.

American Heritage and some news
I have been taking a class at Zion Christian Church for the last couple weeks. Each week we watch a video from the American Heritage Series by David Barton and then hold a discussion afterwards. This is a great class and an excellent video I recommend it to everyone. It teaches you the actual history of the United States, you know our Christian Heritage. The class is free and welcome to anyone. It meets on Wednesday nights and there is 4 weeks left. If you are interested let me know.
Also I have been reading the 5000 year leap: a miracle that changed the world. Which again is another great find if you want to know how our Founding Fathers established the Constitution.
Obama signs a Nuclear Treaty with Russia last week to shrink the arsenals of the United States and Russia declaring that we will not use nukes for defense and if a Country should attack us with chemical/biological warfare. And today we see this Nuclear risks have risen. REALLY? No freaking way! Oh the irony. Here's the deal the risk of terrorist attacks with nuclear weapons have risen. Why? Because you have given the green light to terrorists. You have made it known that, one you are reducing the number of nuclear weapons in the Country. Two, you have made it known that you are now not willing to use nuclear weapons in defense of an attack. Three, you have basically shut down the "star wars" program. GENIUS!
Hey Obama do you remember that oath you took when you came into office? Just asking.
FACT CHECK
Here is another great story
Baffled by Healthcare
So Congress read the bill huh? I don't think so. Today it was announced that Congress who thought that they would be keeping the wonderful healthcare that they receive, might have accidentally given it away :(.
Is this the straw that breaks the camels back? Is the law going to be repealed now? Probably not, but I am sure that a lot of Congress men and women are re-thinking their excellent bill.
(you know its funny because its not like they were going to get to keep that great health insurance anyway, they are all gone in NOVEMBER).
And if you have time check this out
NEWSBUSTED
Tomorrow: Andy Stern resigns? Wonder what he's up too. Maybe that Debt Commission he's on is taking up too much time.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS (TPE)
Sunday was the Clinton Twp. TPE. Around 4000 people attended the event. There wasn't much balanced news coverage the reports can be found here.

I have a sort of bias since I was featured in the Michigan Capital Confidential, however if you do not subscribe to this site you may want to check it out. At the TPE I was asked by a Tom Gantert what do you think is the goal of the Tea Party? What do you want to see happen?
So what is the goal of the Tea Party? Do we want to see a third party emerge?
What I would like to see is a balance. We are a nation with checks and balances and right now that is not what we have. We need to get rid of the politicians that think they know what is best for the Country. The politicians that think that they know what is best. I do not think that we need to have a third party emerge at least not at this time. What I would like to see is the Republican party get back to the principles of which they stand. We need to take control of either the House or Senate, to have a balance in order to stop this madness.
We need people in the Senate and House that are representative of the people and not themselves. We need to get people in Congress that actually read the Constitution, and abide by it. We need less taxes, less Government, and more of our Liberties and freedoms.
Do I think Republicans are the answer? Nope. They are part of the problem.
So I ask what do you think?

A day in Detroit
Today was Opening Day for the Tigers and as usual, I did not have tickets but stood in line starting at 8 and managed to get some good seats. This probably my favorite part of going downtown on opening day the anticipation of getting tickets and meeting some great hardcore Tigers fans. Although I would like to say that I am very disappointed with the behavior I saw today. For one, PICK UP YOUR TRASH people, how disgusting I have been going to Opening day since I have been 10 and never have I seen such disregard and laziness. There are trash cans all around, utilize them. Detroit already looks like a dump don't add to it with your beer cans and trash. Second, some drunk, punk idiot kids drinking in the parking lot dented my car, how? by throwing something at it. You are an adult act like one. Your drinking should not cause you to act like an idiot, that is not an excuse. You should not willingly damage other people's property because your a moron. I get out of my car and hear this "who gives a shit, it's not my car," girl sees me "oh fuck." No apology, nothing. Third, for the first time ever I witnessed people taking cuts to try and get tickets today. Seriously? People have no common sense or morality anymore. The behavior I witnessed today made me sick. Let's stop thinking the world revolves around ourselves and grow up and take responsibility.
However I would like to say that (besides the rant) I had a great time at the ball park. Baseball is back. The Tigers pulled it out and got the W. Sad that it was accomplished with errors and the hitting is atrocious, but I think we have a chance to maybe clinch the division if we pick up a few hitters. Any thoughts.
BTW, Stupak is retiring, who would of thought that?
