Steven Crowder answers the question of pretext to the union violence in Michigan with this unedited video and asks, why are their no union protesters video taping the goings-on while the Right to Work folks have multipe cameras recording activists on both sides. Maybe this is why? Hot Air
I know. But I had to.

Here is Mr. Reid waxing nostalgic on the days when he carried a gun everywhere he went and on how shooting sports brought families together.
And on the jump, Diane Feinstein for self defense – before she evolved.
What a difference five days makes. Last tuesday we reported on a poll running at the political fiction section of the NH Blogosphere (also known as NH Journal), in which the establishment candidate for NH-GOP chairman, Jennifer Horn was running in third place behind Andrew Hemingway and ‘Someone Else.’
A few hours later we updated that story with a report of an alert on Horn’s Facebook page about the poll that had pushed her into second but that surge seems to have vanished. ‘Someone Else’ is now leading Jen Horn by 11 points.
This is Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson, Georgia, apologizing…sort of…badly. How bad? I can’t do it better justice than Rep Johnson himself. Hot Air
Breitbart is posting a series of statements by people who observed or were objects of Union thuggery in Michigan. I’ve posted one here on the front and several more on the jump. They are each relatively short so take a few moments to watch them. It is important to understand that this was not just a bunch of toughs flexing, people who followed the law were denied the right to peaceably assemble for no other reason than that they had an opinion different from that of the union protesters.
Oh, and then there’s the profanity, spitting, threats, and physical abuse. And make sure you watch the last video with Tim Bos. He’ll tell you about the Lansing Union cops who watched the whole thing unfold…and did nothing.

This will make for interesting discussion. Boston College’s Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy, discusses the source of Morality for Prager U. Only five minutes…it goes by quick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ApVYpBwXWLk Hot Air

I have chopped up the videos of the Question and Answer period into different posts (as there were a number of topics on which there were questions). Please note that sometimes the video title “might” not be quite accurate in that often, as these things go, the discussion of the original question quickly morphs to other tangents. But hey, it’s better that way when you are the panelist / audience member than the video editor!):

I’m not just posting this because I like to share, I also want to watch it later. (I started to, but did not have enough time.) This is Ambassador Alan Keyes, speaking at the Colorado Right To Light Banquet, (most importantly) on the matter of Personhood. After I’ve seen the whole thing I’ll post some … Read more
What the government wants the government gets. Even if they have to make it up. This is the story of how the Federal government railroaded a 100 year old company, recognized as an outstanding Environmental steward by the national parks service, out of business. (more preamble here c/o Hot Air).
Charles Krauthammer brings home the bacon on the White House Fiscal Cliff Deal effort to screw Republicans for nothing in return. Synopsis- Republicans are expected to detail every cut. Democrats can just toss out a number with no details at all. The whole deal stinks and while Obama has nothing to fear, other elected Democrats … Read more
I have to admit – Facebook has nothing to do with this post – but the topic of this post does have much with the philosophy of that Part I post. That said, let me allow Gntp NH from that FB thread set the stage for this absolutely spot on calling out of the Republican … Read more

“If someone else controls your private property, you do not own it.” – Skip Murphy. Six days ago, Steve had this post concerning the trouble that Stephen Forster (Forster’s Christmas Tree Farm) is in with the local zoning members concerning the way he wishes to use his own property (to hold weddings as “Agro-Tourism”, a perfectly legal use of his private property with respect to State law). He asked, in that post, that you go support Stephen keep his innate freedom to use his own land for his own purposes. Well, a bunch of people showed up with their virtual flashlights to show their support – and made the Henniker Zoning Board rather uncomfortable. You see, when we, the citizens, hold elected and unelected officials to account, they become very uncomfortable – they hate being held to account for things that they are not allowed to do. Here is the message from Ken concerning that meeting (emphasis mine):
Dear Friends,
Here is a link (at GovernmentOversite) to the Henniker Zoning Board meeting on Nov. 15th — and I urge you to watch and pass it onto others.
[Note from Skip – watch the closeups very carefully; see how uncomfortable they are, knowing that they are being watched because of their actions?]
Why? Because it represents the type of attack on our property rights that will be coming from elected people that don’t respect our Constitution — but have unfortunately been empowered to make decisions as to what we can and can’t do on our property.
As you view this video, you will find that it is painful to listen to the Zoning Board search for a reason to justify how they can place a restriction on Steve Forster regarding the usage of his farm property. The board’s struggle occurs after it is clear they agree that holding weddings on a farm (the issue at hand) is considered to be agri-tourism… and that agri-tourism is included in the definition of agriculture. The board also agreed that the practice of agriculture is allowed on a farm under state statute.
So where is the problem you ask? They wanted to overturn the citation that was issued — which threatened fines if Mr. Forster held any events, but at the same time… they wanted to attach restrictions even though the activity in question has been occurring on Mr. Forster’s farm since the early 80’s.
