  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    R is for Reverse... When Riding With Democrats

Create an authority...that's how, Art Tax, PA 296 of 2010, Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, Detroit, Anyone want to take a wild guess whose going to pay for this boondoggle?, DIA TAX, DRIC-NITC, Republican kakistocracy, memory holes, 11th District Republican Star Chamber, backroom shenanigans, Tom Stroup, Write-in Campaign, 'Nutty Nancy' and Babbling Brooks, Seat belts? Feh, Laws shmaws! That's for those little people, Pay up Suckers (all tags)

    Do you remember what Oakland County's "king-maker" said when pushing through the DIA Tax?  I do.

    Voters in Oakland County will decide this August on a property tax to support the Detroit Institute of the Arts. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson is encouraging residents to support it.

    "So the tax would have been 19 bucks on the average home sold last year. You know, that's a bad day at Starbucks," Patterson said to laughter from the audience [Sheeple] at Friday's Pancake & Politics panel discussion.

    "I think the tax will fly.  I think people understand appreciate. And then when you get, if the tax passes ... the communities that pass it get free admission to the DIA, so you're gonna get it back your first trip. So, I think it's gonna pass overwhelmingly."

    M'kay, so Babbling Brooksie got his way with herding the 7 Republican turncoats on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners who voted with the unanimous Democrats to send the DIA Tax Hike and Oakland County Art Institute Authority creation (see page 387) off to a vote by the Sheeple.    Yannow, it is written that the age-old axiom says, Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.  Congratulations, Oakland County, voters!  You have spoken!  By your vote, YOU OWN THE DIA TAX.

    Oakland County officials plan to take their first step next week to safeguard property taxes meant for funding the Detroit Institute of Arts from getting in the hands of the city's creditors.

    Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said the resolution is a pre-emptive strike against Detroit and its creditors as the city prepares to fight to persuade bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes the city is eligible for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.

    "That would be a tremendous betrayal of public trust. That's not what that tax was passed for," Patterson told The Detroit News on Tuesday. "We will take steps to suspend the tax levy. We're clearly within our rights, and we're going to exercise that."

    Read on.

    Then what was the tax passed for, Brooksie?  A hint.  Would you like to know what would be a tremendous betrayal of public trust?  Still being led around by a hoary County politician who refuses to accept he has outlived his usefulness (tho, apparently now sober), and now wants his Obamacare-esque "do over" for his DIA Tax hike scheme with November 2014 elections approaching.

    Now pay up, suckers.

    OABTW, next time, don't "forget" to wear your seat belts when riding with Brooksie and his Democrat friends.

    The star-chamber backed candidate in the CD-11 race made some very interesting comments yesterday on OTR regarding her opponent's supporters, her opponent and a rather interesting hint at her future campaign strategy after she loses the primary and "special election".

    How To Replace Party Leadership

    I have more than once on this site cited a paraphrase of John F. Kennedy's warning:  Those who insist on making a peaceful takeover impossible will ultimately make a takeover by revolt inevitable, and perhaps even necessary.  Since we cannot seem to trust the blueblood elites in the establishment to get the message, let's go below the fold and discuss an idea to "grease the skids" for their removal from power.

    Talk about contrasting candidates.

    I highly recommend cracking open a case of Monster Heavy Metal before watching. You'll need it way before this clip ends.

    Seriously, you need notes to tell people about YOUR OWN RECORD?

    Now, contrast the above to this:

    No wonder Brooks and the blue-bloods are running scared.

    Putting The Screws To The Taxpayers

    Just so that we can continue to show Nancy Cassis a little attention here on RightMichigan, let me draw your attention to a little scheme to put taxpayers on the hook for boneheaded decisions made by their local governments, specifically with regard to labor agreements.

    Facts are quite stubborn things, really.  As I've mentioned elsewhere on this site, the pesky thing about having a publicly available record is that, sooner or later, you're going to get called on it.  Getting called on her record is exactly what happened last night to Nancy Cassis at the monthly Rattle With Us meeting in Plymouth.

    Joshua, Kevin, Huey Long's son, and A Time For Choosing

    Tags: EITC Free Lunch, Nancy Cassis, L. Brooks Patterson, 11th District Republican Star Chamber, Write-in Campaign, August 2012 Primary, Oakland County, Wayne County, Republican kakistocracy, Deceitful Lefty twits on Twitter (all tags)

    Not sure if any pay much notice to the Hash Tag ticker off to the left here on RightMichigan.com, but I did get a decent giggle this morning from our two newest Lefty trolls exposing their lack of knowledge by dimwittedly repeating the DNC lapdog media talking points in attempts to get a dig in on our good friend, KG.

    OK, I present: Exhibit A, which spreading bogus information should be bad enough considering he's a Lefty Progress Michigan digital media "operative".  Ooooo, spooky.  Now, for a second dose of well deserved butt-hurt I present Joshua's buddy as Exhibit B, which really goes to illustrate what mindless, regurgitating lemmings those on the Left truly are.  Reagan invented the EITC?  #FAIL.  It was Lefty Democrat Senators Russell Long and Lloyd Bentsen who rammed through that disgusting wage subsidy for the "working poor" into 1975 tax code.  Even a simple search on IRS.gov clearly states that.  Attributing the EITC to Ford, or that Big Government Moderate idiot Nixon who inspired the Negative Income Tax scheme is fair game as far as I'm concerned.  But, hanging the creation of the "free lunch" EITC on Reagan?  No.  That is a lie.

    Progressives.  For those that are unaware, Russell Long's father, Huey Long, was the original "wealth redistribution" and "tax the rich" Kingfish from Louisiana way before our two Twitter trolls or their Obamessiah were an itch in their papa's pants.  

    Yet, it is folk on the Left today like Joshua, and Kevin, who dare call themselves something with the word progress in it?  Another #FAIL.  When has The Left ever changed?  They are Socialists, and dimwit ones at that.

    A Time For Choosing.

    "We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning."

    That 1964 Speech sure makes as much sense today as it did then.  Nancy Classless is as wrong to hand out "free lunch" EITC in Michigan, as Gerald Ford was on March 29, 1975.  

    "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

    Thanks for invoking Reagan, Joshua.  I'm nowhere near as polite as Ronald was, nor do I pretend to be.  You two are morons.
