Yeah, They Did this to the TEA Party Movement. Been there, done that (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Palate Cleanser – Slo mo shotgun shells
So what else should I be doing at 4am but looking at this stuff? (H/T: Every Day No Days off)
NH Budget – A Time for Singles & Doubles; Discerning Immediate vs Long Term Existential Threats
Summary: GraniteGrok is asking that our ‘Grok friends in the Legislature, including the Freedom Caucus, to vote yes for the budget. And no, I’ve not lost my mind. I do expect, however, that this will tick a number of folks off.
Quick Thought: No, Speaker of the House Sherm Packard! You’re WRONG!
This from House Speaker Sherm Packard. ‘We Need More Republicans:’ GOP House Leaders Working to Build Budget Majority.” No, you need the RIGHT Republicans – those that are Constitutionally literate and hold to those values?
CRT – Their Goal Is Indoctrinating Students in Far-Left Causes: Stack of Stuff Part 10
How do they hate us? Let me count the ways – almost innumerable. Here’s a few more (all may be reformatted, emphasis mine):
Notable Quote – It’s all about the Culture
Most analyses of social and economic intergroup differences focus on the immediate surroundings in which people live. Sowell’s writings exposed the limitations of that approach. He concluded that it isn’t the immediate environment per se, but cultural values and human capital – skills, work habits, saving propensities, attitudes toward education and entrepreneurship, developed sometimes over … Read more
Seriously, They Don’t Believe the Rest of Us Notice?
One thing I hate about politics is the lack of Consistency. Republicans certainly have their fair share to account for but it’s mostly the Democrats-Socialists. And this, THIS is about as blatant as it gets:
“I Had Never Suspected, up to Then, That Frauds So Bold and Shameless Could Flourish…”
When I opened up GraniteGrok, it was clear that one of our focuses was going to be political which meant interacting with politicians. Here in NH, it’s a bit different in that no one here does it for pay. Many are making sacrifices in order to serve but many are either business owners, made their money, or retired (or any combo of those + others).
Palate Cleanser: Bunnies, Bunnies, Bunnies
Need some distraction? How about this illusion. Can you spot the three bunnies? I have to admit, I couldn’t and had to cheat and see the answer below (yes, keep scrolling down to see it):
Data Point – So Who IS More Apt to Form a “Cancel Crowd”? Liberals or Conservatives?
The Social Justice Warrior / Cancel Culture arose out of the ideological hothouses of Colleges and Universities – it’s no wonder that the results below exist. Green is Yes, Yellow is No.
Proponents of CRT are Bullies, We Should Treat them That Way: Stack of Stuff Part 9
Proponents of Critical Race Theory aren’t going to stop until we start (and keep on) punching them in the nose like the Bullies they are. And that’s how we should treat them – as Bullies.
Is the Nackey Loeb School Ruing the Day It Gave Robert Azzi its First Amendment Award?
Robert Azzi is getting to be an old, angry and bitter man. He’s also a rather bigoted man as well, though this only shows up at his usual haunt at Pravda on the Merrimack rather than at the Union Leader.
CRT – Their Goal Is Indoctrinating Students in Far-Left Causes: Stack of Stuff Part 8
These keep pouring in. Examples that show Critical Race Theory not just as Racist but the push back from those that see the racisim scam. That CRT deliberately divides us along the very racial lines that the Civil Rights movement sought to eliminate.
Data Point – Why Does This Even Matter?
The emphasis of the Left on Skin Color is not unifying anyone – just read what Critical Race Theory is doing here in NH (especially here in NH). Having said that…
So We’re Supposed to be as Empathic to Bots as We are to Humans? This Lady Philosopher is nuts!
These Artificial Intelligence researchers are demanding that we show their A.I. bots empathy, reciprocity, and trust and don’t understand why we humans refuse to do so. They are like Bruce Currie (Bernie-Bro and (seemingly former) frequent ‘Grok commenter) who insisted that he could lay obligations on the rest of us that matched his obligation to … Read more
John Robertson Was Prescient: July 4th – Independence Day Canceled.
In his Op-Ed for GraniteGrok (“The Birth of a Nation (and the death of another): Juneteenth National Independence Day”), he told us what our future history was going to be:
Palate Cleanser – and Speaking of Culture…
It’s clear that Progressives are, in general, angrier about more things than Conservatives. I don’t understand this other than having a Savior complex in which EVERY STUPID thing has to be taken as a crisis and everyone besides themselves and their SJW-wrapped-up ideological kin must be made into second or third class citizens (if not demoted to evil subhumans).
Data Point – “Equity” isn’t going to solve this problem
More of a “real” Data Point type post. I’ll just lay it out here and feel free to change my mind. It’s all about The Culture. And it’s all about the Meritocracy within families and failing Meritocracy within Government Schools. As Government schools continue to orient themselves about emotions and ideology indoctrination (e.g., Critical Race … Read more
“Am I Willing to Die For This?” She’s Talking About Slavery Reparations
For me, there are things for which I would die – protect my families, protect my friends, standing up for the philosophies and ideals of America? Yes, but to kill myself through starvation for the ability to take money from a lot of people to give to a few for something that NONE of us did?
Data Point – Govt’s Favorite “Hidden Tax” is back – with a Vengeance!
My past is now my future – again. And Government is doing it with GLEE! My adult life start during the Jimmy Carter Administration – grown up, out of school, and in the workforce for the first time. Frankly, an awful time for many given the stagflation that was starting in – but ESPECIALLY the … Read more
