This is Michigan- Will it be America?

This is Michigan. Our state is considering giving up our historic lighthouses to PETA to turn into Fish Empathy Re-Education Centers. Our state is desperate to bring in murderers and felons from all over the country to fill our jails, which are emptied because we can't afford to keep prisoners in them. And companies that want to bring businesses here face years of legal challenges and regulations before they can even think of providing jobs and income to the residents of our state. This is what happens when Democrats run a state for many years- and I expect this will be what happens after the Democrats run our nation for a couple years.

According to the Detroit News, PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) wants to buy a historic piece of property owned by all Michigan taxpayers and turn it into a politicized propaganda center. For all the talk about the left wanting to preserve areas in their natural state, it the usual leftwing hypocrisy that PETA wants to take a historic landmark and change it. They have applied to buy the lighthouse in Grand Haven and renovate it into a Fish Empathy Center- this group wants to remind all the decent people relaxing on the pier fishing and all those people whose job is to fish that they are evil murderers and should feel awful about their lives. Hopefully, liberal employees working for a liberal government will make the correct choice and not sell this property to a liberal special interest group.

Also in the Detroit News is a story about California rejecting Michigan's attempt to bring it's felons and murders to our state because our state charges too much for this service. Michigan, plagued by years of Democratic control which brings skyrocketing state spending and yet cuts in vital services like prisons and roads, was desperate to make the Great Lakes State into a penal colony to bring in much needed money to the residents of our state. Michigan already brings garbage in from Canada for a couple bucks a load, so the authorities here, desperate to save jobs that they have spent years destroying with high taxes and extensive regulations, thought it would be good for the bankrupt California to send it's prisoners here. Sadly, Michigan charges too much, and so California said no. Michigan is still in the running to house terrorists from Gitmo, as the federal government does not care about cost.

Lastly, a good explanation of how Michigan found itself in such dire straits is found in the Detroit News story about how a mining company has been battling through years of red tape and bureaucratic annoyances and now has just battled past special interest groups corrupting our legal system. Apparently a mining company wants to bring jobs and income to residents of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan by having them mine needed metals and minerals that make our world a better place to live in. This company has complied with all of the many regulations, fees, and red tape that the state of Michigan put in place to stop it from developing our world and progressing our society, but then this company was sued by multiple (unnamed in the article) environmental groups. They were hoping to find a liberal judge who was filled with empathy for their cause, but sadly got a couple of judges who ruled that there arguments had no legal merit. The mines have not been built yet though, so there is still many chances for people to corrupt the system to destroy legitimate business interests in our Democratic-run state.
