Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

Maura Sullivan gets dumped by a fellow Marine: “dainty holding an AR-15”

maurasullivanguncontrol

“As a Marine watching that ad, I had to cringe,” retired USMC Gunnery Sergeant Jessie Jane Duff said on NRA TV Wednesday. “She might as well have said ‘Oooh, it looks scary!’”

Democrat candidate for Congress in NH CD-1 Maura Sullivan is lying by omission, IMHO, by making it sound like she was in the thick of things in Fallujah – in the Infantry and using “US Marines” as a buttress from being confronted on it.   Michael Graham from NH Journal goes on Cam & Co to talk about how this Democrat candidate for Congress (and carpetbagger bringing in YUGE amounts of out of state $$$ in doing so) Maura Sullivan is trying conflate the most popular civilian rifle platform with an actual military firearm – KNOWING the difference between the two is vast. Once again, a gun grabber is campaigning on taking away, we who are law-abiding citizens, our legally purchased firearms.

“SCARY”!!!!

I continue to get Stuff – I think it is time for a bit of a fisking: Alan Rice of the NH Firearms Coalition

“I’ll let you skip the self-reflection bit and make it plain – how could you, as President, allow somebody that rates an “F” that marks him as an anti-gunner, on your Board?”

Ah yes, Alan Rice of the NH Firearms Coalition (“NHFC”) is starting to feel some heat.  Like I said before, if you want to judge candidates for office (either newbies just running for the first time or those that have proven voting / legislative histories) simply because they won’t bother with either your questions or you survey in toto, you deserve a continued beat-down.  What a schmuck!

So, one person complained – and got this in return. I’ll let Alan Rice figure out what a fisking is – I’m not sure he understands the phrase “self-evident” either.  I will clue him in that the items I’m talking about by putting them in bold them; I’m sure that even he might “get it”.

Has NH CD-2 Candidate Dr. Stewart Levenson read the Constitution, Declaration, and contemplated on “The Proper Role of Govt”?

Dr. Levenson on WMUR News on 8/13 at 6pm, shows us a rather parochial and patriarchal view citizens in his own words:

The top issue is our approach to government; it’s broken.  We have to get rid of the career politicians. I blew the whistle on the corruption and inept care at the VA and I’ll do the same in Washington.  We need to get rid of the career politicians to put people in, do the job the people elected them to do, who will take care of their needs, who will represent them. We don’t have representation now in NH. We have congress people that are beholden to the  big Corporation s to California to outside interests.

Now, I realize that in being a doctor, he takes care of people – that’s his worldview and we need people like that. But is it the Proper Role of Government to “take care of their needs”?

Absolutely not.

Data Point – Retail sales indicating a much more robust economy?

Retail sales—a measure of spending at U.S. stores, websites and restaurants—rose a seasonally adjusted 0.5% in July from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That was well ahead of economists’ forecasts for a 0.1% increase. Compared with a year earlier, they grew 6.4% in July. That’s more than double the pace of inflation, which increased 2.9% in the year to July, as measured by the Labor Department’s consumer-price index.

Robust hiring and low unemployment mean more households have income to spend.

Notable Quote – Kimberly Ross on “Christine Hallquist”

Reformatted, emphasis mine:

On Tuesday, Christine Hallquist won the Democratic primary in the state of Vermont and is officially the party’s gubernatorial candidate. Such a win would normally not receive much attention at all. However, Hallquist, who spent most of his life by the given name ‘David’, now lives as a transgender woman. As we’re well aware, that in itself launches him to a place of prominence among Leftists. As an actual, biological female, I find such obsessions not only irritating but downright insulting.

Hmm, he really wants to run again? Slurp…

Bumped from 2/16/18.  Yep, Dave Boutin threw his hat in the ring and is running against newcomer Bill Kuch – a real bonafide Conservative. Well, if Boutin’s hat is in the ring, I think we have a few anchors and anvils to add to his load.  And guess what?  They’re as valid now as when we first dropped them back in 2013/2014.  Boutin is a straight get-along-go-along GOPe-er that toes the Establishment line – he knows where his campaign money comes from.  So, consider this just the first one – we’ve got PLENTY!

This Saturday! SDGANH (School District Governance Association of NH) is having a Golf fundraiser

School District Governance Association of New Hampshire
School District Governance Association of New Hampshire

UPDATE: Bumped up from 6/5,7/9, 7/20, 8/2 as August 18th will soon be here; consider this a reminder!

Well, I do know which end of a golf club to hold, and I know the object is to put a small ball into a rather small hole, but that’s the extent of my knowledge of the game.  However, the SDGANH is a relatively new conservative alternative to the Progressive-ly captured the New Hampshire School Boards Association and it is looking for new members (prior or currently elected School Board or Budget Committee members) and concerned citizens in support of their mission (“Helping School Board and Budget Committee members discover their Powers”), are looking to raise some funds:

Proof That the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition Survey is Meaningless; Alan Rice has emptied his mag in going to a gun fight

NHFC - response file is an anti-gun responseBack on July 30, I caught wind of how the NH Firearms Coalition had decided that IF you didn’t answer their questionaire or didn’t answer all of their questions, you were automatically ruled to be “anti-gun” or “anti-Second Amendment” (above).  Steve had more here as well.  And yes, I’ve also caught a lot of flack over posting it.  No matter, don’t care.  Well, I do care – about those that were about to be slimed worse than the celebrities that venture onto some Nickelodeon; at least on those shows, its all good, green gooey slime in fun.  With the NHFC, think of the opposite – and I blame, not the good folks that I know that are a part of it but the guy that signed the above – Alan Rice.  IMHO?  Power trip. With this little stunt to self-aggrandize himself, he’s not only diminished himself but the group he thinks serves, not the gun community, but himself. Almost all of we Groksters shoot and certainly all defend the Second Amendment and supporters that work, in way or another, to keep the REAL anti-gunners (that’s you, NH State Rep Katherine Rogers, you convicted assaulter!).

But with the above, Rice shows that he’s the equivalent of a crew served dual Ma Dueces on top of an MRAP controlled from inside (like the Youngest did) – but with a haywire control system that’s shooting at anything in sight.  Just out of control! How else can one countenance the idea that if you failed to respond, in part or in all, you’d get an “F”?  And here in NH, getting that in the Conservative community is like a whipping (and it seemingly makes Rice come off as some medieval enforcer – with a smile on his face.

“Creative Destruction” – the end of my beginning. The beginning of my middle.

Creative Destruction:

Joseph Schumpeter (1883-1950) first coined creative destruction in his work, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy.  It refers to the process in which technology and innovation create new ways of doing things and, in the process, leave the old ways behind. Technological innovation might destroy entire businesses, industries, or streams of employment while allowing new enterprises to grow in their wake. Schumpeter believed the process of creative destruction, “which essentially revolutionizes the economic structure from within” was the hallmark of capitalism. Marx originally hinted at this idea in Das Capital when he stated that, “the violent destruction of capital was not by relations external to it, but rather as a condition of self preservation.” In a nutshell, Marx believed that the “destruction of capital” was necessary for a blossoming capitalist system.

NH Firearms Safety Coalition presents Massod Ayoob – Parts 1 & 2

Following the intro remarks by Ralph Demicco and Tom Brown, Massod Ayoob took to the podium.  A internationally recognized expert in training, speaking, and writing about firearms and the safety concerns, he gave a serious talk about how local retailers and firearm instructor could recognize the signs that someone is looking to end their lives with a firearm.

Instead of turning to government for “answers”, the NHFSC and others like Mr. Ayoob are looking for the industry to actively become engaged in this topic without it being politicized, compromised, or co-opted.  Their mission is education and it was clear that Mr. Ayoob was centered in this mission.

NH Firearms Safety Coalition presents Massod Ayoob – Parts 3 & 4

Following Parts 1 & 2 of Massod Ayoob’s talk on gun safety and suicide prevention to a crowd of firearm retailers and instructors (along with a number of Second Amendment supporters) at the BassPro in Hooksett, NH are now Parts 3 and 4.  Again I urge people to watch the Suicide Prevention PSA created by the NH Firearm Safety Coalition, an effort by people on both side of the issue who simply want to solve a problem that is the cause of 2/3rds of the gun deaths here in the US.

NH Firearms Safety Coalition presents Massod Ayoob – intro remarks by Ralph Demicco

Earlier this week, the NH Firearms Safety Coalition held an event at the BassPro Shop in Hooksett, NH where they hosted nationally known firearms speaker, writer, and trainer Massad Ayoob.  That video is in process as we speak and I’ll be putting it up later on today.  However, Ralph Demicco, well known in the Second Amendment community as an active supporter as well as the former owner at Riley’s Sport shop, gave his introductory remarks.  He heads up the NHFSC whose sole aim is helping retailers and instructors how to help those at risk for committing suicide.  The statistics are sobering – suicides using firearms which make up 2/3rds of the 32,000 (or so) gun deaths each year.  Ralph and the NHSFC wish to diminish that number.

Indeed, many Conservatives have and are using them

See?  Alinsky is not just for Commies anymore!  I’ve had an “Abridged” post on his Rules for years – let me reproduce them here in honor of the General:

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

Hey, Democrats, let’s see you explain this away….

VOTER FRAUD? Twice As Many Ballots Cast As There Are Voters In Georgia Precinct

Twice as many ballots as the number of registered voters were cast in a northeastern Georgia precinct during the state’s primary elections in May. According to official numbers from the Georgia Secretary of State, 670 votes were cast in Habersham County’s Mud Creek precinct, where there were only 276 registered voters, says a report from McClatchy DC. Impossibly, this means the precinct saw a 243% voter turnout.

In a bizarre turn of events, the number of registered voters changed from 276 to 3,704 on the secretary of state’s website on Tuesday morning. Questions of electronic malfunction, outside tampering, and voter fraud — particularly in light of a pending investigation into alleged voter fraud during the Atlanta mayoral election runoff in December — linger over the state.

“…linger over the state.” -> Ya think??

This is Democrat Donna Soucy’s version of “Diversity”?

Or as one wag put it “How’d that white guy sneak in?”.  These kinds of photographs are staged – it is part of the “inside-baseball”, “behind the curtains” kinds of political stagecraft that a campaign does all the time.  You think that all those people in the stands at a rally are chosen at random?  … Read more
