You ain’t going to be it, toots, and you rolling with those who ran with Obama, sealed that fate.

noun
(among tribal peoples) a magician credited with powers of healing, divination, and protection against the magic of others.
It’s no secret to loyal RightMi.com readers that I have little use for, Rep. Dan “Enough is Enough” Benishek. You see, good ‘ol slow-talking Doctor Dan, has this history of wanting to portray himself as a “Constitutional conservative” only to vote to raise the debt ceiling, reauthorize the NDAA, and vote to fund Obamacare. That’s a “Constitutional conservative”?
Hardly, and his 1% margin over Gary McDowell, in 2012, certainly serves to highlight that CD-1 voters see Doctor Dan as a fraud who happened to be in the right place at the right time in 2010, for certain movers and shakers within the state Party’s apparatchik.
Well, upon discovery, I just happened across Doctor Dan’s new allegiance to the Progressive Country Club, or as founder Fred Upton, would like to convince us unapologetic Conservatives, his “main street partnership”. Frankly, I do not see one thing considered normal, Constitutional, nor even Conservative about its founders and their Democrat-lite mission statement.
It is though, a clear sign of how desperate Dan Benishek is to remain in office.
It’s time for Doctor Dan to be booted from the District of Corruption, and back to his private life of billing Medicaid/Medicare.
Vote your conscience tomorrow.
I am.
(29)Nuh Uh.(0)Back in May, Lorence Wenke switched from Republican to Libertarian. He claims that this move was based in principle, not political convenience. So how well do his views line up with libertarianism?
Citing GOP opposition to gay rights, state Senate candidate Lorence Wenke leaves Republican Party
State Senate hopeful Lorence Wenke says he plans to help build Libertarian Party
Libertarian Lorence Wenke talks split from GOP, minimum wage during Kalamazoo Gazette Editorial Board interview
Election 2014: Libertarian Party looks to make waves in Kalamazoo County after long dormancy
Wenke said he would support expanding the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to include protections for LGBT citizens, adding that if no one else introduced the bill, he would do so.
Anti-discrimination laws violate freedom of association, and there is a long libertarian tradition opposing them.
How about the basic free market position of opposing the minimum wage?
Wenke, the owner of Wenke Greenhouses in Comstock Township, said he would have voted yes on the minimum wage increase.
He said the increase will have a significant impact on the payroll businesses, but added that he believes the working poor of the community deserve the raise.

Randy Bain was pleasantly surprised that someone supports him in his bid for the Michigan House of representatives..
When mailers arrived at his home not just once, but TWICE, he wondered who might it be that would be sending out the cards describing Democrats and Republicans as having no discernible differences. Who was it saying “Al Bain isn’t a party robot!” in two separate mailings?
Did we mention R. Al Bain is a candidate for the 56th District house seat as a (Constitution party) US Taxpayer?
Bain says that he knows of other Republicans who have received the postcards, yet his neighbors who are Democrats, have not. This could feed the speculation that Democrats are subtly assisting 3rd party candidates who have a strong possibility of drawing votes from Republicans to give THEIR candidates a better shot. This is not out of the question, as we have seen THAT before.
Interestingly, there is no disclaimer, a part 47 campaign finance violation. The return address could be any number of businesses in the tower address. There are a number of election contributions from that address over the years, but nothing that would indicate a pattern of contributions or big money. Bain says:
“I googled the address it’s a 12 story office tower in Southfield I called a number and the girl said her company had the whole 12th floor they are a automotive marketing and research firm. There are several businesses in that tower.“
Candidate Bain is already planning his victory speech.
(16)Nuh Uh.(1)Deposed today in one of many lawsuits v. Kalkaska County Sheriff’s Department…
Submitted and marked “Exhibit 1” by counsel for the defense…
“Do you have issues with the Sheriff’s Department?”
Answer: “Yes, several.”
Interesting day, defense counsel was squirming by the end of the interview…
All I can say for now is be willing to stand behind what you post here and elsewhere…
(13)Nuh Uh.(1)Article originally posted on Michigan Open Carry, Inc.
The Free Press today had an article about Huron Valley schools and open carry. In the article, Huron Valley Superintendent Baker is quoted as saying:
“I am grateful he went to the building administrator and told that principal what he planned on doing in advance,” Baker said. “I’ve had multiple conversations with (the parent), he’s talked with the building administrators, and he’s been very forthright, in some regards very progressive, and I appreciate that. He didn’t just show up unannounced. But that doesn’t change the way I feel about the law.“
I for one am tired of Government types making up rules that they expect us to live by, but when the rules become an inconvenience for them or their jobs, then they feel the rules can be ignored. For people who have been paying attention for these past 200 years, this shouldn’t be something that is a surprise.
The US Constitution is supposed to be the highest law of the land. It was designed not to restrict what people can do, but rather restrict what the people that call themselves the Government can do. Indeed, the Constitution creates only two prohibition against individuals:
The word “Constitution” has the word “constitute” as a base word. The document was intended to be an outline of what constitutes the US Federal Government and its powers. But as we all know, our governments (Federal, State, Local) haven’t been good at heeding their own laws — even the Constitution.
Circa 1870 Lysander Spooner wrote this of the US Constitution in his essay No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority:
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
It should be of no surprise the people in the Government are breaking and ignoring the rules (rules that people in the Government made). They’ve been doing it a very long time. Like the US Constitution, Michigan’s Firearm Preemption Law has no “teeth”, no consequences for those who break it. That is why it is so important that HB 5500 becomes law.
Sadly, it seems House Judiciary Chair, Kevin Cotter (R) has no intentions to let the bil out of committee before the end of the legislative session this December. Given the law stalled at its first step on a long path, it’s doubtful it’ll become law this session and with this Governor.
There is an answer to the tyranny of schools like Huron Valley though. If the State legislature won’t address the problem, Michigan Open Carry, Inc. will seek redress in court. We are seeking to prosecute a K12 school very shortly for their violation of State firearm preemption law. Won’t you consider helping us today with your most generous donation?
(8)Nuh Uh.(0)Poof! PFM!
The average price of gas in Michigan is $ 3.10 a gallon for regular while the average is $3.06 in the metropolitan Detroit area.
In Monroe, gas has been hovering as low as $ 2.85 this week.
Ms. Hiltz sees the trend in prices declining throughout November and into December, and said it is possible for the state average to drop below $ 3, which hasn’t happened since 2010.
Notice how many in the linked article have been so conditioned that they’re *thankful* gas is around $3 when just a decade ago it was $1.44 a gallon? Sheeple were made to be shorn.
Keep that in mind for the Lame Duck in Lansing, if/when the Nerd is unleashed with his wholesale tax agenda & registration fee hike.
