Michigan Gov. Signs Right To Work Law

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed his state’s right-to-work bill into law, this evening, Dec. 11. Michigan, the home of the United Auto Workers and the heavily unionized auto industry, becomes the nation’s 24th right-to-work state.
The day was marred by widespread union violence in Lansing, Michigan’s capital. Unions bussed protesters in from several neighboring states, and teachers left work in two school districts to protest to such an extent that those districts shut down, reports Bryan Preston of PJMedia.Com
Union boss Jimmy Hoffa Jr. has promised “civil war” and the state Democratic Party directly threatened “blood,” says Preston. Americans for Prosperity’s on-site tent was torn down by unknown union operatives, with people including children inside. Conservative comedian and PJ alum Steven Crowder was assaulted by a man who appeared to be a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union. A reward has been building on Twitter for the assailant’s arrest and prosecution. The man was at the protest representing the IBEW, opening the possibility of Crowder suing the union itself. On Twitter, Crowder says that the man also threatened to kill him.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania, despite a Republican governor and Republican-controlled legislature, remains backward, oppressed and uncompetitive. Is it simple fear Gov. Corbett? If so step down and let a Republican with backbone take your place.

Is Corbett Dead Meat?

Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi is calling Gov. Tom Corbett “fatally damaged” and “a political dead man walking”.

Guzzardi predicts that newly elected attorney general Kathleen Kane will dig up explosive dirt on the Governor regarding his Jerry Sandusky investigation and his lack of one regarding GOP bigwig LeRoy Zimmerman’s “looting of the Hershey Trust”.
Guzzardi is pushing for Montco Commissioner and former DA Bruce Castor to launch a primary challenge against Corbett.
Since Corbett,  unlike many Republican governors including Chris Christie in far more liberal New Jersey, has done nothing to rein in the unions and appears about to the grease the skids for ObamaCare in this state, we join the chorus in saying go for it Bruce.
Corbett has not even snatched the low-hanging fruit of ending teacher strikes and returning to school district the ability to boot bad teachers without paying through the nose.
And remember Steve Welch, Governor? A lot of us do too.

Corbett Has A Friday Deadline On Health Exchange

Gov. Tom Corbett has until Friday, Dec. 14, to return the $33 million he took last may to set up a Health Insurance Exchange in Pennsylvania reports Teri Adams of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association.

Nebraska officials have estimated that a Health Insurance Exchange would cost their state over $600 million. Pennsylvania has six times the population.

The IHTPA asks that those concerned contact the Governor at 717-787-2500 or 717-772-8284 (fax) and let him know to do the right thing and save the state. The association also suggests that callers ask the governor to back State Rep. Matt Baker’s Healthcare Freedom Act that would allow Pennsylvania to completely opt out of Obamacare.

Pa. Revenue Collection Higher Than Estimated

Pennsylvania’s General Fund revenue is $59.1 million above estimates reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)

The information was unveiled at a budget briefing by Gov. Tom Corbett last week.

The governor also began to outline some of his budget priorities for the 2013-14 fiscal year, including a budget that contains no new taxes and that funds state agencies at current levels, Cox said. He emphasized the need to address pension reform and the growth in welfare spending and prison costs. 

The governor will present his budget proposal for the 2013-14 fiscal year to the General Assembly in February.

Pa. Once Again Has A Christmas Tree

The Pennsylvania Christmas Tree Growers Association donated the tree, along with 29 others, to be used around the Capitol Complex and Governor’s Residence.

Christmas trees are grown in every county in Pennsylvania except Philadelphia. The Commonwealth ranks in the top six nationally for the number of tree farms and sales from those farms

Perfect Summation Of Liberal ‘Thinking’

The excerpt below from  Evan Sayet’s book The Kindergarden of Eden was posted by Edgar Award winning author Andrew Klaven on PJMedia.com. 

We couldn’t have summed it up better:

The retardation that comes from self-adulation was the very centerpiece of the True Believers’ Blueprint for Utopia, and for this reason they made self-love paramount and reinforced it on a near constant basis through incessant programs of wholly unmerited “self-esteem”-building. You were perfect just for being you, which meant that the only way not to be perfect (and perhaps even turn into one of those evil bigots and phobics) was to attempt to change (i.e. better) yourself in any way.

“Be yourself,” “do what feels good,” and “esteem nothing more than yourself” were the new pillars of society in the Modern Liberal era, and they were in every way the exact opposite of what had made Western Civilization great and the very antithesis of what was needed for a functioning, happy, healthy, prosperous and progressing society.

In fact, not only were these concepts not progressive, but they couldn’t possibly have been more regressive (just as the True Believer wished) as they made “feelings” — the same “feelings” that every child since the dawn of man was born with – into the arbiter of all truths; while they eliminated that which does progress with time – personal and collective wisdom.
