Moral of the story... if you're Mayor Jim Fouts, bagging a two-legged dear using tax dollars, that's good.

Being a taxpayer bagging a four-legged deer, that's bad.

First, let's have some facts, shall we?  There are 12,385,000 more people of working age (16-64, inclusive) today than there were in September of 2008.  America is not suffering from a contracting workforce.

Period.

There are certain truisms however.  Diamonds are sparkly, fish swim in the sea, electricity allows us to interact in this way, and "Marriage," is between a man and a woman.  

Call it what you want, "pairing," "Coupling," "Partnering," etc.. but its not marriage unless its between a man and a woman. And to be clear, it is NOT a civil right.

On the old blog, Kevin Heine posted a great article on a recent manufactured issue within the Michigan Republican Party.  At the end of it he posted a video that is well worth the watch.

And this brings us to the current philosophical skirmish involving Michigan's Republican National Committeeman, which involves the latest escalation by some unsavory elements within the Michigan Republican Party, who seem to be in a desperate quest to reclaim lost relevance.

The lease is up, the rent is too high, and its time to find new digs.  As of February 10, 2014, RightMichigan.com will be mothballed.

We will be backing up the site so that all the wonderful work and commentary will be available in some way.

My statement stands. To date, there is record of 1 bona fide Oath Keeper.

Attacks continued throughout the 5 week campaign,( Saul conveniently has failed to archive his musings from this period) with attacks on the Tea Party Delegates, "The RNC in general is very conservative, but by definition to many, establishment. That in itself makes it impossible to be a Tea Party person," Anuzis said in an email.
   Attacks peaked with a retributive attack on the delegates who supported Agema immediately after Agema's Overwhelming convention win, with the state committee passing new rules (the "Anuzis Amendment") to amend Rule #9 of the MIGOP Convention Rules to, "To strike any language that requires a Precinct Delegate to be present in order to have preference." Thus Limiting Liberty Delegate participation in subsequent conventions. (Even more rules have been passed since to further entrench establishment support among eligible Delegates.)  

Attacks continued the next day. Saul graciously encouraged his supporters to back his replacement from Grandville, yet immediately launched into a tirade about the "`Cancer' threatening Michigan Republicans."

There was a reason he won the position in the first place; as someone who would hold TRUE to conservative Republican principles, and strengthen them in the national platform.  While the establishment Republicans are decrying Democrats as "bad," Committeeman Agema was rebuilding the foundation so Republicans could say why.  Real fiscal restraint, real solutions aimed at preserving families and traditions that have made this country great.

And the feeble sensibilities of an offended malcontent within the party continuously stirs up sympathy for the other side's (progressive Dems for those of you who remain unsure) point of view?

"Hey look at me! I am a Republican and I don't like your stand on what I like to do, so you better tolerate my perverse lifestyle or I will forever more divide the party until I get what I want!  You can call it a big tent if you want."

When moral restraint is removed in one way, it certainly follows that the caps are off in others too.
