The Right Stuff In The Morning
Tuesday, December 2, 2014
Good morning! Sorry for the late send. In the news today: Obama wants 50K cops equipped with cameras; Hill staffer resigns over Sasha and Malia comments; Boehner has a plan to avoid a shutdown; Jeb tries to get tough on immigration; Michael Brown's dad probed for inciting violence; and al Qaeda hopes to wish Europe a Merry Christmas, in its own special way.
Have a great day.

Ferguson and Obama's no-responsibility America . . . It’s easy to talk about the can-do American spirit. Everyone thinks of themselves as part of an America
where people haul themselves up by their bootstraps, become self-made men and women, succeed despite the odds, and several other cliches.
What is being forgotten, in President Obama’s no-responsibility America, is that these things take really, really hard work, sacrifice, and risk. Obama is doing a splendid job of erasing the basic American spirit and character. White House Dosser******* Support REDLINE and White House Dossier when you shop on Amazon.
