CARPE DIEM: Forced Government Recycling is Garbage; It Wastes Scare, Valuable Resources and Lowers Out Wealth
“There is not a community curbside recycling program in the United States that covers its cost,’’ says Jay Lehr, science director at the Heartland Institute and author of a handbook on environmental science.
They exist primarily to make people “feel warm and fuzzy about what they are doing for the environment.’’"

Does President Obama Think Our Rights Come from Our Creator?
Does President Obama Think Our Rights Come from Our Creator? The Weekly Standard
The most famous words in the Declaration of Independence — and almost surely the most famous words ever written by an American — read, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
On Friday evening, when President Obama addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, he quoted that passage as follows (on the clip at 22:30): “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal [pause], endowed with certain unalienable rights: life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
In Obama’s version, there is no “Creator.”
Only two plausible explanations spring to mind.
One is that President Obama isn’t very familiar with the most famous passage in the document that founded this nation; that even when plainly reading from a teleprompter, he wasn’t able to quote it correctly.
The other is that President Obama doesn’t subscribe to the Declaration’s rather central claim that our rights come from our “Creator” (also referred to in the Declaration as “Nature’s God” and “the Supreme Judge of the World”).
Only the president likely knows for certain which of these two explanations is true, or whether perhaps there is another.
His nearly 4-second pause before he omits reference to our Creator, however, is peculiar.
He stares at the teleprompter, purses his lips, blinks several times — as if confused, disturbed, and/or in the process of making a decision — and then proceeds to use his alternate wording.

"Zoi pointed to four tactics the Obama administration intended use to advance the “deployment of clean energy.”
The first three were government subsidies for private-sector green energy projects, special tax incentives for green energy projects and low-interest government-backed loans for green energy projects.
“The fourth one, which the secretary and I love,” said Zoi, “is where we have a mandate.
Where we can actually just issue regulations and do market transformation.”"

St. Maarten holds historic election as Dutch territory prepares to become country
FOXNews.com - St. Maarten holds historic election as Dutch territory prepares to become country
"PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten – PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten (AP) —
St. Maarten's two major parties expected to dominate the election Friday of 15 parliamentary representatives who will lead the Dutch territory when it becomes an autonomous country next month.
The race was expected to be close between the Democratic Party and the ruling National Alliance Party.
Some voters, however, favored one of two new parties: United People and Concordia People's Alliance.
St. Maarten and Curacao will become countries within the Dutch kingdom when the Netherlands Antilles are dissolved Oct. 10.
The islands of Saba, St. Eustatius and Bonaire will become special Dutch municipalities and respond directly to the Dutch government.
Details of the new governments for St. Maarten and Curacao have not been decided, however, even as the deadline approaches.
It is unclear what kind of tax system will be adopted or which currency will replace the Netherlands Antillean guilder.
So far, government officials have confirmed that St. Maarten and Curacao will have a common Court of Appeal and a shared central bank.
St. Maarten, which has nearly 20,000 registered voters, shares an island with the French territory of St. Martin."

Congressmen Weiner and Waxman Set Gold Hearing
Congressmen Weiner and Waxman Set Gold Hearing -- Seeking Alpha
"From the press release: 'Under Rep. Weiner's bill, companies like Goldline would be required to disclose the reasonable resale value of items being sold.'
That's great.
Are Mr. Weiner and Chairman Bernanke also going to agree to print on every dollar the reasonable expectation that its value will be eroded by inflation?
Gold investors (or speculators) are already punished by the federal government by having their investment, even in a gold exchange-traded-fund, taxed at the higher rates that apply to collectibles rather than long term capital gains.
Not to mention the fact that Mr. Weiner's regulatory push seems as much aimed at conservative journalists as at the gold-dealers.
The press release says, 'Goldline employs several conservative pundits to act as shills for its' [sic] precious metal business, including Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Laura Ingraham, and Fred Thompson.
By drumming up public fears during financially uncertain times, conservative pundits are able to drive a false narrative.
Glenn Beck for example has dedicated entire segments of his program to explaining why the U.S. money supply is destined for hyperinflation with Barack Obama as president.'
Imagine the uproar if a Republican-majority Congress started investigating and having a regulatory crackdown on big advertisers in liberal outlets such as the New York Times.
The First Amendment freedom-of-the-press crowd would be marching in the streets."

Petoskey News-Review - Critics of child-care union get favorable ruling
"The Michigan Supreme Court ordered a lower court on Thursday to explain why it dismissed a lawsuit challenging the unionization of 40,000 child-care providers who work at home......
The union gets 1.15 percent of the millions in state subsidies paid to providers who watch kids from low-income families....
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy sued on behalf of the women, who say the union is illegal under Michigan law because the child-care providers are independent business owners not public employees."

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Reid adds controversial immigration measure to defense bill
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week.
The decision means the defense bill, which often passes with bipartisan support, will be home to two major, thorny political issues – the other being the repeal of the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.
Reid called the DREAM Act 'really important' and said it should be passed because it provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military.
DREAM is an acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act."
This is your democrat party folks.
