[Apologies for my recent silence. We were doing a little trailering with friends in the future State of Jefferson during the past week ;-) When SoJ comes to pass, one of the first orders of business is to spread broadband far and wide. And we can, of course, start that right here in Nevada County. Did everyone see D'Souza's film 'America'? Apparently every leftie in town went to see it, and then packed the movie's review page with horrible posts. But, hey, at least it's good to see them put their money where their mouth isn't.]

More business friendly news from Nevada County. This Local CBS Report made the Drudge Report.
NEVADA COUNTY (CBS13) — A war veteran who builds furniture in his garage and gives it to military families in need could be forced to shut down the saws.
A homeowners association is telling Dennis Kocher he needs to close up shop after years of doing business, or he could be fined between $100 and $1,000.
“I may not paint, sand, cut wood or screw on the property at anytime,” he said.
The new mandate cuts deep, as he’s been building cabinets and dressers for a decade, donating most to military families.
“Everyone who received my furniture or responsible for dispersing it gave me this gift and it’s something I’ll treasure forever,” he said holding a photo.

He builds to help make a better life for families who have very little.

Perhaps Mr. Kocher was violating building codes or homeowners association regulations. A person cannot run a lawnmower in Lake Wildwood before 8:00 AM. Is this more liberals tellings us how to live our lives or just common courtesy that had to be written into law because some people are just plain discourteous and fail to recognize how their actions effect their neighbors?

JoeK 1019am – The uniform panning of the movie was on a Sierra Cinemas page for ‘America’. But just google movie reviews for the movie to see how it is being received by the Left. It is not farfetched to report that in our polarized country the Left will pan a movie that reports the Right’s view of US history and its role in the world. And yes, it’s good of you to grasp that one of the main themes of RR is to remind readers of how the stratagems of central planners impact our lives. However, as the record here shows, the Left does not get blamed for “everything” that is wrong with our governance – Republicans are also frequent targets when they stray from the Founders’ Principles and the Bastiat Triangle of Rights. Your job is to convince readers of the benefits of socialism and how it will not destroy America.

Just saw ‘America’. It is a well done telling of the story from both the America Haters and Lovers side – although I thought that he really bent over backwards to tell the Hater side with first person interviews, historical film clips, and an overflow of direct quotes. The movie contains about the first half of his book of the same name. The second half goes into more detail on the history and ‘theories’ of governance. I can recommend both the film and the book to RR readers of all stripes.

EPA Admits to Senate that CO2 Regs Not About Pollution Control
On Wednesday, before the Senate EPW Committee, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy had this priceless quote regarding the EPA’s proposed carbon dioxide regulations (italics added):
“And the great thing about this proposal is it really is an investment opportunity. This is not about pollution control. It’s about increased efficiency at our plants…It’s about investments in renewables and clean energy. It’s about investments in people’s ability to lower their electricity bills by getting good, clean, efficient appliances, homes, rental units.”
This gaffe could come back to bite the EPA. The Endangerment Finding was all about the negative effect of “carbon pollution” on the environment. Now we find out “this is not about pollution control”?

Dr. Rebane’s asks what is the definition of evil? Evil dons many faces yet always looks the same.
Evil is our Justice Department where all transparency and inquiries go to die. Evil is declaring the results of any action are racist if the outcome has disproportionally affected one group, even though no racism nor intent of racism ever originated. Evil is intentionally stilling a free and vibrate press (asking hard yet fair questions) so the press would back off and look the other way. Evil is wiring tapping reporters and their families. Evil is letting the dogs loose on political opponents (real or imagined) with the full force of the Justice Department and Treasury Department (IRS) to silence political opponents.
In essence, a definition of Evil can be construed to be a purposeful attempt to trash the 1st Amendment with its guareentes of freedom of speech (expression) freedom of the press to be uninhibited, freedom of association, and passing laws or by executive Order hindering freedom of religion or favoring one religion over another.
Evil is the author of lies, deceit, and misrepresentation. Religious writings label Evil as the Father of Lies and the word evil is actually personified.
Evil is cooking the books, be it wholesale canceling of sick patients’ appointments at the VA or awarding higher grades to anyone who received less than adequate scores in school based on the color of one’s skin to avoid having outcomes that the Justice Department may deem to be unintentional racism. Evil is the antithesis of liberty, Justice, and valor.

Mr Kocher lives in Lake Of the Pines. He has probably upset some one who is now ratting him out. Most gated communities are, to me, hell holes. A lot of folks love them. Mr Kocher is learning – too late – the issue I have with these places. I’m not against the idea of having them for the folks that like them, and I’m all for letting folks live there if they want. It keeps them far, far away from me. This isn’t a good example of lefty fascism, it’s just a case of some one who’s not clued into the way of life in a gated community. Lefties go after everyone, no matter where they live and pry into their lives and drawers and refrigerators and thoughts. There are plenty of examples of that – this just isn’t one of them.

Question: Would you have a better chance of surviving two weeks on the mean streets of Detroit or Chicago than you would in Guatemala?

No wonder results don’t matter. Who are the real refuges and who is experiencing a true humanitarian crisis?
Now, dear reader, we must give credit where credit is due. Detroit’s murder rate has actually took a turn for the better. No, it’s not because people have abandoned Motown in droves, but that could play a role. According to the police chief of Detroit City, he gives full credit to that fact that more citizens have armed themselves with guns, thus the drop in the murder rate. Straight from the horse’s mouth and most contraire to the Liberal/Marxist/Obama Mind(less)set. Say it ain’t so.

His neighbors are not complaining, it is the management who according to Kocher, who has never even visited his home has decided he is running a business. His defense, he is running a hobby out of his garage. The Lake of Pine claims it is a business which is forbidden in this closed community. Looks like closed minds at Lake of the Pines.

As much as I relish the underdog role, I will suffer through and be part of the immoral majority on this issue.
“Americans are so down on President Obama at the moment that, if they could do the 2012 election all over again, they’d overwhelmingly back the former Massachusetts governor’s bid. That’s just one finding in a brutal CNN poll, released Sunday, which shows Romney topping Obama in a re-election rematch by a whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent. That’s an even larger spread than CNN found in November, when a survey had Romney winning a redo 49 percent to 45 percent.”
Two years ago, Obama won re-election with about 51 percent of the vote.
Of course, the poll should be taken with a grain of salt. While Obama is actually taking on the tough task of leading the nation, Romney is sitting comfortably on the sidelines where he is liable to receive a more favorable reception. Still, the finding comes as foreign and domestic crises have sent Obama’s approval rating tumbling back to 40 percent, per Gallup.
Also in the CNN survey, a record-low 46 percent say Obama “shares [their] values,” while only 49 percent say he is “sincere in what he says,” also a record-low. – – Jon Terbush
