Mi GOP Supports gun rights, right? Nah The death of a perception...
Many of you may be aware that I was asked to disarm nearly a year and a half ago at the Michigan GOP State Convention. Just a few weeks ago (8/23/2014) at the Michigan GOP State Convention in Novi, my dear colleague and good friend Tom Lambert (Vice-President of Michigan Open Carry, Inc) followed in my footsteps of having my rights disregarded or minimized by the GOP.

(1)September 14, 2014 at 6pm is the date for the Founding Fathers & Mothers dinner to benefit the Constitution Celebration.
The annual Founding Fathers & Mother dinner is upon us.
Annually, we gather to celebrate the anniversary of the constitution (September 17) on the Sunday immediately following or preceding the date itself. We also announce our “Grand Defender” award winner; a person selected from three or four constitutional defenders from the preceding year.
Tickets are available @ $35 for adults and $15 for children 5-12. The proceeds benefit the constitution celebration projects, one of which is the bringing of the VietNam Moving Wall to the Grand Traverse region. Complete info is on the pdf by clicking the image below.

Looks like Slick Rick is going to don bigger pandering knee pads, soon. Probably should’ve followed his convention friend’s lead when dense enough to hug a cactus.

Yessirree. They’ve been content being the minority Party at the table ever since the big spenders under Bush, gave up both chambers to Reid, and Pelosi, in November, 2006.
(14)Nuh Uh.(3)Was just wondering… now that the Alticor/Amway cat is out of the Common Core bag, and their cupcake came out of the closet, just how much of this hyperbole would carry weight today?
What says you, Boobus Michiganderus?
(21)Nuh Uh.(2)“I am a strong supporter of equal pay for equal work, and the two laws on the books that protect women in the workplace – the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.” – Terri’s Solutions
And, supports Elliot-Larsen expansion… Minimum Wage hikes… displays expediency against those with Conservative values…
Yannow, I just can’t wait to see her next flip-flop before November.
(18)Nuh Uh.(2)The power of government can be instructive AND abusive.
When an operation hosted in publicly owned property is as successful as what might be considered only in ‘wildest dreams,’ it is then eyed with a lust that is found only within the failure of bureaucracy.
I’ve seen it first hand. In Grand Traverse County in 2010, a highly successful baseball program run by veterans was quite literally confiscated, and taken over by the landlords. An empire building, bureaucratic strategist, coupled with a misunderstood management glitch in the popular 62 year old program opened the door to it being taken over by the county.
The PRIVATE program which began more than a half century earlier by veterans building ball fields was summarily sequestered because the landlord didn’t like the way ‘management’ of the program was operating. The county board was convinced to back a parks decision to take the program away from the vets, and the participation dropped by 30%.
In the end, a newly elected county board (including myself) in the beginning of 2011 convinced enough of the old to give it back. In the end as well however, we should note that it was a government entity (the parks department) trying to justify its existence, (programming beyond rental of properties) show a profit (a stated argument during the takeover) and be a controlling authority.
(9)Nuh Uh.(1)Hot air, rhetoric, and special interest conflates into a false idea of what inclusion truly is.
Big tent arguments have been the mainstay of Right Michigan since it’s inception.
Before reading it I wasn’t sure where it might go. But I found a worthwhile essay by Jack Spencer at Cap Con wrapped up in this way:
” Based on recent polling, neither major political party in this nation can, with a straight face, claim to have a “big tent” appeal. For years polling has shown that voters tend to want smaller government and to see government more as a problem than as a solution. Make no mistake about it; both of these sentiments are joined at the hip with the fear of freedom and liberty diminishing.
Theoretically this should be an advantage for Republicans. But in recent years it has been an advantage Republicans love to speak to but very rarely deliver on. “
Its worth noting that either party’s impetus for promoting THEIR version is the use of a large hammer; “smaller government” claim noted
To ‘promote’ business, claims of job creation aided-by-government is necessary, or to ‘promote’ a living wage for workers, control of those business entities is paramount. Is this a false populism of sorts? Neither party properly embraces truly free markets, true liberty, or lower government intervention.
Its worth reading the rest.
