FIRE - Victory for Freedom of Association at Central Michigan University: "In an important victory for free association, Central Michigan University (CMU) has revised a policy that banned ideological and political groups from “discriminating” on the basis of “political persuasion.” The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) urged CMU to change this policy after students who disagreed with the mission of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) student organization attempted to become members of the group in order to destroy it from the inside."

This should be funny..

A city suicidal

Another reason to vote for Newt

What would the race-baiters do if their "people" could fend for themselves?

Newt, Bilingual Ed and the PC Police: "'The government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly show up' [to vote] ... 'The American people believe English should be the official language of the government ... We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto. ... Citizenship requires passing a test on American history in English. If that's true, then we do not have to create ballots in any language except English.' "

ISIL Channels » Blog Archive » Choosing education: "America’s system of public education has earned an extraordinary distinction in comparison to the public schools of our international competitors.

Black helicopters tracking a global threat!

RIA Novosti - World - Belgium to impose tax on barbequing to fight global warming: "The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.

The local authorities plan to monitor compliance with the new tax legislation from helicopters, whose thermal sensors will detect burning grills. "

Tom Edison=Earth Destroyer?

Lightbulb police in a city near you, soon?

Maybe they can use helicopters to track bulb use.

American Thinker: Ban the Bulb?: "And guess where the extra purchase prices for these CFLs will wind up? In the pockets of Chinese manufacturers, because not a single CFL is produced in the US.
And it gets worse. As Chinese manufacturers add enough manufacturing capacity to produce ten times as many CFLs , they will need several new coal-fired power plants to run the new factories. This comes on top of the already breathtaking pace today of construction in coal fired electric power plants in China - at a clip of one new plant every week. Don't even think about asking about what kind of pollution control will be operating on those Chinese plants.
A tax on poor people in the US so the Chinese can add more coal fired power plants. Now there's a bright idea.

There's even more to this story: one more dirty little secret that the greens won't tell you about.

CFLs contain mercury."

The Volokh Conspiracy - -: "The marquee case was Massachusetts v. EPA, in which the Court held, 5-4, that (a) states have standing to sue the EPA alleging injuries from climate change, (b) the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases as 'pollutants' under the Clean Air Act, and (c) the EPA did not adequately justify its decision not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles under the Act. On remand, the EPA must ground its decision whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions on the nature and magnitude of the risk posed by climate change, as the CAA requires."
