New Hampshire’s Bipartisan Cultural Elites

NHGOP-Woodshed

Mr. Trump won the presidency on an issue no one else in the ruling class took seriously. Immigration, border control, and the very definition of what it meant to be American. For years the cultural elites in Washington and across the nation have shared a growing disinterest in the idea of citizenship. Their reactions have run the gamut from patronizing to insults. Republicans pander to narratives while Democrats call them xenophobes, racists, and even white supremacists. Policies and priorities that resulted in the opioid crisis, and a range of national security issues.

Trump won because citizenship means something, and securing that something matters. And when we look at New Hampshire, we have a similar problem just waiting for someone to capitalize on it. “Border control” for voting purposes.

New Hampshire’s “Bipartisan Cultural Elites” have been screwing over New Hampshire citizens for decades by convincing them that the borders mean nothing. Living here, putting down roots, investing blood and treasure in everything from families to schools to local sports programs, infrastructure, job creation and our state culture means as much to them as someone who shows up at the polls on election day, lies about their intent “to live here” to cast a vote, then leaves the same day.

They steal your vote, the Bipartisan Cultural Elites do little or nothing, and when they do “act” no one makes any serious effort to enforce what amounts to lip service.

The boldest example of this indifference is when the elites insist that College students who pay out of state tuition to attend a college here, (kids who can legally pay in-state tuition in other states), must be allowed to vote in the Granite State. Even though those same “students” can just as easily vote absentee in the state they are from; a right true residents – including in-state tuition-paying college kids – do not have.

This process doesn’t just rob actual citizens of their vote. It denies them control of their government and the spending that government will exercise “in their names.” The imposition of regulations and fees with which those non-resident voters may never have to comply. Spending and regulations they can avoid by simply going home. And they do.

Under these conditions, being a citizen of New Hampshire means nothing. So what does that say about its government? A government that used to mean something.

When New Hampshire rebelled against the British Crown it did so as a separate political entity unique in its needs and character in collaboration with like-minded states with their own personalities and interests.

The U.S. Constitution was an agreement among the individual states to support a limited federal government with control over a few shared interests never to interfere with matters left to the people or their states. A national government long since run by cultural elites who for so long have ignored the law and the people that those people turned out to elect the only figure speaking to them or for them. Donald Trump.

Mr. Trump must fight every day against the bipartisan cultural elite’s rejection of America’s choice. So far he seems up to the task.

New Hampshire, sadly, has no apparent political leader capable of overcoming the power behind New Hampshire’s Bipartisan Cultural Elites. The Democrats are in charge of the transformation while culturally co-dependent State Republican “leaders” seem more concerned with what national figures and Washington think than their own base.

They are more interested in rubbing elbows with the elites in the run-up to the first in the nation primary than what it means to us. Republican Elites who never leave much behind in the way of financial support. But to State Party leaders clinging to that primary is the New Hampshire Advantage. Everything else seems up for sale or trade.

It sounds hopeless, but it’s not.

There are still groups like the Coalition of New Hampshire taxpayers who have dedicated a majority of their time and energy to exposing residency election fraud. The 603 Alliance has embraced true Republican and Constitutional principles to empower candidates with tools and skills to find their way and add their voice to the din in Concord. Small bands of political warriors skirmish with cultural Marxists and fiscal progressivism on a weekly basis.

GraniteGrok.com leads the new media in challenging the bipartisan cultural elite and sharing the conservatarian vision.

But the ability to succeed is forever hampered by the denial of the fundamental sovereign rights of New Hampshire citizens to control their own political destiny. As long as anyone from anywhere can show up and make those choices for them the government in Concord will never truly be theirs. No candidate, office, or legislation enacted will be an honest expression of their will. Regardless of who holds the majority.

It is a proxy government influenced by an out-of-state special interest whose “investment” in our election process is not documented, never reported, never adequately policied, but infinitely more dangerous. A cabal fomented by progressives and cultural elites who will do anything to maintain a balance of power that continues to lean left thanks to porous electoral borders and lax “security.”

Do not expect this to change.

As we approach November, the State Republican party flounders about as it always has, understaffed, with no money, and no power, and little ability to pretend otherwise.

Members of the cultural elite in and out of the party continue to dilute the Republican Party Platform and undermine what is left of the NHGOP brand.

Anyone who is not in that increasingly progressive camp is quickly running out of options at election time, and if the Trump voters who registered and turned out in 2016 don’t feel the love, they’ll stay home or skip candidates on the ballot who don’t get it like former US Senator Kelly Ayotte. Between refusing publicly to vote for Mr. Trump (because that’s what the bipartisan cultural elites wanted) and the pro-out of state voter cabal she lost her seat by less than 1000 votes to a progressive muppet.

Is there any hope?

The Republican state delegation is assembling soon to consider party business. I have no doubt they will be herded and corralled, but I’m more than happy to be wrong.

It would be amazing if the delegates, many of whom are, in fact, actual Republicans,  stood up in opposition to the business as usual of the progressive cultural decline. They could defend traditional marriage, family values, and even demanded leadership take a stand against the perennial pilfering of their electorate by outside forces.

Maybe even ask them to try and do something other than nod and talk and then move along as if there is nothing to see.

I’m not sure what that would look like and I’m not holding my breath but New Hampshire needs someone (several someones) with the time and resources to save it from the bipartisan cultural elites who will continue to let the out-of-state voters rob real residents of votes because it gives them a seat at the table. Even if it’s the kiddie table.
