Yep, the Association of Undemocratic States and Tinpot Despots who have made it clear that they are there because MO MONEY, MO MONEY, MO MONEY, getting cover for their actions, and oh yeah, hating on Israel. In a piece titled “My Turn: Strengthen the UN“, Ray Perkins Jr (professor of philosophy, emeritus, at Plymouth State University and vice chairman of the Bertrand Russell Society board of directors) seems to be typical of those academicians that went to Germany in the 1880s that brought back that foreign political philosophy that called for a larger, more intrusive government that dismissed the US Constitution – Socialism. Now, Perkins wants to pick that up a notch and centralize government control even higher – to the UN. Self-government, representative republic? Not if the UN is in charge. And he’s happy as a jay bird in doing so.

As I have been blogging about the Windham School Board’s seemingly problematic process in implementing their Transgender bathroom/locker room policy, I decided to ask further. Given that they receive State tax funding, I find it entirely appropriate that NH’s Right To Know (RTK) law, as enshrined in RSA 91-A, should be used. A government that is open and transparent should be the aspirational model we all seek. When Government, at any level, is not transparent, bad things happen (“the road to hell is paved with good intentions” is only the best case scenario). I do have some materials that a number of birdies have tweeted over – something ain’t jiving well here. So let’s either let them use their own Big Flashlights on themselves – or we’ll shine ours on them.
