Cancer

JIMMY CARTER DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AFTER LIVER SURGERY: “Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body,” the 90 year old 39th president said in a statement. “I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare” in Georgia, the Washington … Read more

Margaret Thatcher on socialist policies

“they’d rather that the poor were poorer provided that the rich were less rich” “I have the same contempt for his Socialist policies as the people of East Europe who have experienced it” “You do not create wealth and opportunity that way. You do not create a property owning democracy that way.” (H/T: The Last … Read more

Notable Quote- P.J. O’Rourke

All politicians hate people. Politics is a way to gain power over people without justification for having that power. Nothing in the 11,000-year history of politics—going back to the governing elites of Mesopotamia—indicates that politicians are wiser, smarter, kinder, more moral, or better skilled at any craft (aside from politics) than we are. But political … Read more

Let’s continue with the Lefty Cognitive Dissonance Condensed: Allison Gilbert

baby in wombYep, that’s what it is, Scott.  This time, it is Allison Gilbert whining out of both sides of her mouth in the Concord Monitor about the NH Executive Council’s vote on Planned Parenthood contract denial (reformatted, emphasis mine):

My Turn: Executive councilors have questions to answer

I am outraged and disgusted by the New Hampshire Executive Council’s decision to defund Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire. I want to thank Colin Van Ostern and Chris Pappas for voting in support of all New Hampshire women and families. We all know that Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire provides critical sexual and reproductive health care and educational services to low-income women and men.

Ah yes, like Obamacare doesn’t exist to supply ALL of our needs – including “critical sexual and reproductive health care”.  Thus, you should be able to go ANYwhere you want (er, that IS why the Incremental Socialists known as Democrats passed it) right Allison?  That’s what we were told over and over, right?  Oh wait!

David Limbaugh – Elites snubbing their base again just because they are Elites and we aren’t

Once again, the GOP Ruling Class and Higher Than Us is taken to task for looking down their noses at those “Trumpian rubes” – how dare the great Unwashed speak up, ignore us, and dare not to give us their votes for OUR candidate to which we are entitled?  Er, boys?  Let’s go back to the original tenet of politics – you earn the votes.  David Limbaugh writes (reformatted, emphasis mine), once again, that the GOP Intelligencia is completely missing the boat at best, or joining in with the Democrat Socialists at worst. A couple of snippets (go read the whole link):

These commentators seem more disgusted with Trump defenders than with President Obama’s destructive agenda and the threat it represents to America.  Their angst, I would argue, is not primarily about Trump. Their real beef is with Reagan conservatives and others who refuse to be calm about Obama’s assaults and are sick of lectures on bipartisanship and “civility.”

Which seemingly is true.  The GOP has spent more time, from the view of Joe and Jane Sixpack, fighting what should be seen as the most passionate part of their base.  Their only sin is that, in the eyes of the Smart People, is that they actually believe what the GOP says it does (but often doesn’t do).

A market that depends on government subsidies will not long be a market

This caught my eye: Is New Hampshire solar racing toward a brick wall? and this snippet at that post, once again, proves the title. The growth is being driven by the falling cost of solar hardware, the increased availability of financing for residential and utility-scale solar, and the urgency of buyers and sellers to get … Read more

“Regulate me or lie”

Great line by Steve on Heritage’s showing their take our NH Delegation to DC (Frank Guinta (R), Jeanne Shaheen (D), Kelly Ayotte).  Heritage on NH delegationGiven that, my  question is this – is Kelly Ayottee, ostensibly from the Party that champions individual Freedom, at ALL concerned that Ann Kuster is that close to her in the rankings? That there is little to no difference between the two (13 points)? Does that show a real difference in governance style – especially as Kuster actively campaigned the first time around as being the “most Socialist”?

Will there be a tinsey bit of “oopsies” there now that a Big Flashlight has been shined at her? It certainly will be indicative if votes are compared from now until the election to those from now and previous.

So, Obama is ready to throw away this vet’s sacrifice?

What will US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and US Congresswoman Annie Kuster (D-NH) do?  What WILL they do?  Will they continue to support Obama in this utterly disasterous treaty “executive agreement” on ideological Party lines with rose colored glasses in hopes that a country that has been screaming “Death to America!!” and actually bringing death to … Read more

NH Right To Life – suit to find the WHYs / WHATs / HOWs of that illegal PP funding by the Feds

baby in wombWe’ve blogged a number of times that the last time the Republicans held all 5 seats of the NH Executive that they voted to deny funding to Planned Parenthood here in NH.  Then, so it seems, that the Federal Government’s Ambassador to NH, Jeanne Shaheen, just happened to ante up lots of Fed money (e.g., NH taxpayers’ money) to “federally override” a lawfully elected NH Exec. Council’s vote.  Surprised?  No – that is what Progressives do – they sneer at local control and authority.  But NH Right To Life had to file suit to get their FOIA (Right to Know) information behind how that money got delivered – and have been stonewalled by the US Government (Irony: Obama promised to have the most transparent Administration EVAH – how’s that worked out so far??).  From LifeNews  (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Obama Admin Defends Secrecy of $1 Million Grant to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

The Obama administration is defending the secrecy of a $1 million grant to the New Hampshire affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business in 2011…The Obama administration is keeping documents secret related to a non-competitive grant the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded directly to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in 2011 without going through state approval or standard protocols and despite the fact that the state decided not to fund Planned Parenthood that year.

Data Point: Death by Illegal Aliens

Let’s look at a few numbers. You haven’t seen them in the New York Times, Atlanta Constitution, or the Miami Herald, nor have they been featured on NBC Nightly news or CNN. So, the average American is blissfully unaware of them. Between 2008 and 2014, 40% of all murder convictions in Florida were criminal aliens. In New York it was 34% … Read more

Trust me, George Will, they aren’t gonna listen to you and they don’t care about “their political elders”

As I have written about before, there is a part of the electorate that has just about had it with the Republican Party.  I watched Gorge Will as he spoke about them on Fox News Sunday after Laura Ingraham talked about the part of the Republican base that is tired of working hard but have no results for putting R butts in Congressional / Senatorial seats – and how will they win without those 10-30% of the base that thinks this. Far be it for me to take on one of the most erudite thinkers on the Right, but on this with his attitude, he’s dead wrong.  Worse, he’s dead wrong and is condescending about it.  Throw in a bit of what I call the Establishment GOP’s belief that they are entitled to Republican votes, and you’re still way short of the mark of how bad Will sounded to these ears:

These are voters the Republicans want, the Republicans want all voters, and particularly these voters, but to say that he’s tapped into something;… {shaking head} … Henry Wallace tapped into something, with the far left of American Politics in the late 40’s; the John Birch society tapped into something, George Wallace tapped into something, and it was up to the grown-ups in the labor movement in the late 1940’s, and the grown-ups in the conservative movement in the 1960’s to read those elements the riot act, and say: come back in, but come back in on our terms because we are not going down the road you want to go”

We saw how well THAT worked out here in NH, didn’t we?  Yes, I am QUITE sure that the NH GOPpers were extremely angry at the outcome

Gosh, I immediately thought of…

…Democrat policies. You see, they always are thinking that their policies are something that doesn’t match actual reality. (H/T: PInterest)

Really, Obama has brought in the ChiComs / Russians to talk up his Iran deal – to CONGRESS?

This is HIGHLY disturbing – and very much illustrates that Obama’s words of “a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world“. What does it say about being a proud citizen of the United States when HE can’t hold his own to his fellow Dems in Congress and has to bring in our historical enemies to “vouch” for him.  Anyone else see this as absolute insanity as well as proving him to be not just a Post-Constitutionalist but a Post-American as well? Reformatted, emphasis mine:

Nothing says the Iran nuclear deal is great for America like sending Chinese and Russian lobbyists to convince Democrats to vote for it.

Some of Washington’s less reliable partners are worried too: Top diplomats from Russia and China joined a rare meeting of world powers’ envoys on Capitol Hill this week with roughly 30 Senate Democrats to tamp down concerns over the nuclear agreement.

When ELSE have you ever heard of this?  Trust me, the Chinese and Russians do NOT have America’s best interests in mind.

BlogThought of the Day: Trust me, it’s you and not voters

Dear candidates: maybe it’s time to stop asking “what’s wrong” with Trump. “The question isn’t what’s wrong with Trump. He’s winning. And the question darned sure shouldn’t be what’s wrong with the voters who respond to him positively. That’s a political suicide dive. The real question is and has always been, why aren’t you doing better?“ But … Read more
