To sum it up in a tidy, easily digestible little package… the bad actors using the agenda above is responsible for this.

Lt. General William G Boykin At The Tea Party Powwow
by Jason • • 5 Comments
Retired Special Ops General Speaks to conservatives in annual forum
The 2015 Powwow has ended, and even with threatening weather and bad roads and a misplaced tone of indignation, it went well.
The reality on the ground is that along with the Patriot voices radio hitting 5000+ listeners to the live stream of the event, we had nearly 400 on hand attending or participating in some way. Some good folks were on hand (I will have photos out at some point) and some good information sharing to be had.
For me, the highlight of Saturday’s activity was the speech by Lt. General William G Boykin which was as entertaining as it was inspirational. An outstanding orator, he spoke on his service, the sacrifices made around him, and his thoughts on where we are as a nation.
The video is a little over an hour, but is well worth every single minute. Forgive the weak camera work. It was hard to keep up with it while thoroughly enjoying the presentation at the same time.

Why the Mackinac Center decided to weigh in this way is somewhat of a mystery, but we learned from them ...
Mr Lehman, (with whom I have had little argument in the past) premises a decision made to be based on politics, though policy is really their game.
Gratuitous picture of Dave Agema with ‘black’ tea folk
He makes a brief statement, which essentially claims that fact, and then implies clearly that (We cancelled our sponsorship of the Pow wow because we don’t like Dave Agema) “The reason the Mackinac Center withdrew from the event was Mr. Agema’s prominent role there” And stopping there. Fair enough. Its not my money, resources, or political ties to the Snyder administration that is going to stop them.
OK, taking a page from the book of Mackinac, I figured it would be appropriate to deal with disagreements in policy or politics in the way they have previously suggested. For this exercise, I have located two articles from the Mackinac Center.
The first article was written by a guy who once worked for MCPP, and now spends his time stalking a particular retired Air Force Captain hoping to find SOMETHING that can be used to further defame the many time honored veteran. Ken Braun during his time at the Mackinac Center wrote: (I have made critical edits to update)

Michigan Open Carry, Inc’s attempt to define what it means to “brandish” in Michigan has resulted in a veto from Governor Snyder, though the situation is complicated and not as bad as it sounds. Read on for the full story.

Speaker Race Tops Today
by Jason • • 4 Comments
An opportunity to STOP the Obama agenda - Will we get it?
Most the regulars here would love nothing more that to see a second round of voting for the US House Speaker’s race.
Its something that has not apparently happened since 1923, and would be a significant blow to the Obama agenda. Will Boehner hang on to the necessary number of votes? Will the 29 needed defections in the Republican caucus happen?
We can only pray that it does. Two more years of blindly allowing the president to use the constitution as his personal wet wipe is not what this country needs. Blindly allowing the expansion of the the Obama Bureaucracy is hardly a way to return this nation to its former glory. And running up the debt on our children, their children, and a few more generations to follow, is bad government plain and simple.
We urge our Michigan Republican delegation to consider the consequences of letting the WORST PRESIDENT EVER continue to rot this country through emperor’s decree.
Remind them (numbers below the fold) THIS MORNING!

And why does this sound so familiar?

So, stop me if you’ve heard this one before:
“When you look at the last four years, we hardly did anything for working-class families as far as tax relief.” – Michigan State Senator Jack Brandenburg – January 2015 (from today’s Detroit News)
“What do I look like, an ATM machine here?” – Gov. Rick Snyder, September 2013 (AEI speech)
Ummmmm, yeah.

The RightMi.Com Year In Review
by Jason • • 5 Comments
A few items of note from each month in the year 2014.
RightMi.com was the back up site for RightMichigan.com in the event something happened to the WWII servers hosting the original site.
We started off in January fighting for a good man and ultimately getting booted for saying enough is enough from those who profess to be conservative, but cannot be counted on when it matters. We argued that some GOP leaders have their priorities off, and when Betsy DeVos attacked one of the most stalwart and responsible Republicans in the state, we said not-no-fast.
Of course that resulted in the move from the old site to the new. Much of January was spent reminding people of the values Republicans are supposed to hold and why attacking our most conservative committeeman was maybe not such a good idea. RighMi.com as a destination became a reality. Unapologetic, informed, and collaborative; Michigan’s conservative blogging has a home just like Do Six Figures
OH, and as for the subject of the misplaced attacks?
He is just fine and dandy
February found Michigan legislators beginning the debate for a minimum wage increase, bailing out the big D, and local governments pandering to a dangerous lifestyle..

Want to see what a Michigan republican party-backed $195-million Taxpayer funded bailout of Detroit gets you?
by KG One • • 8 Comments
Just to be on the level, I’m not going to bring back stories about grossly overpaid art museum CEO’s and their boards, not-so secret loans to art museum CEO’s, and art millage scams promoted against Tri-County Taxpayers.
Feel free to use that search window in the upper-right corner if you’re inclined to read more about it.
No, I’m going to talk about what the good people in the Snyder/Calley/Weiser/et al republican machine are in effect helping to promote with your own hard-earned tax dollars.
Just a quick warning to those who wish to continue: The remainder of this post does contain some graphic and disturbing descriptions.
Consider yourselves warned!
