Rich people railing against…..rich people?

Yup.  ‘Grok friend John Hawkins of RightWingNews has a column up at Townhall giving a few examples of some Liberals  (the real rich people) that have made it into the 1%, and then try to pull up the drawbridge behind them:

You don’t think it’s true? You don’t think the liberals are engaged in a huge scam designed to pull the wool over the eyes of gullible socialists and low information voters who don’t know any better? Well then, maybe you’ll change your mind after seeing all these quotes from filthy rich liberals railing against “the rich.”

3) “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.  Somebody else made that happen.  The Internet didn’t get invented on its own.  Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.” — Barack Obama. Net Worth: 11.8 million

“Amazing Grace” – dedication at the 9/11 Museum at Ground Zero

“LaChanze, a Tony Award-winning Broadway performer whose husband Calvin Joseph Gooding was killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks, sang an a cappella version of “Amazing Grace” during Thursday morning’s dedication of the 9/11 Museum in New York City. There are no bad versions of “Amazing Grace,” but some are more stunning than others.” (H/T: … Read more

Notable Quote – Kirsten Powers

Welcome to the Dark Ages, Part II. We have slipped into an age of un-enlightenment where you fall in line behind the mob or face the consequences.

How ironic that the persecutors this time around are the so-called intellectuals. They claim to be liberal while behaving as anything but. The touchstone of liberalism is tolerance of differing ideas. Yet this mob exists to enforce conformity of thought and to delegitimize any dissent from its sanctioned worldview. Intolerance is its calling card.

GrokSHOT! – [Teachers] “…They truly don’t think you know what you’re doing with your child”

During Dr. William Baer’s talk at this past Monday night’s Rochester 9/12, a long term education person brought up an observation that I have seen myself:

I video’d teachers and other “educational professional’s before – here at a meeting of the Moultonborough School Board – to the point where a parent called them out over it: “you’ve crossed a line”.  I’ve seen / heard the same thing around the blogosphere.  One such post was a recent one by Kyle Olson over at The Blaze (emphasis mine, reformatted):

Rochester 9/12 – Karen Testerman

Given that Karen is running for US Senate and was the only Senatorial candidate present Monday night at the Rochester 9/12 meeting, I have pulled out her speech in talking about US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calling Jerry et al “Domestic Terrorists” while others truly are (e.g., Army Major Hassan shooting soldiers at Fort … Read more

Sanbornton – Workforce Housing: discussion and voting results

Yes, mea culpa – I spelled Sanbornton wrong in every single one of the following videos; I apologize!  On Thursday, May 1st, the Sanbornton Planning Board held a session in which the town’s residents could ask questions about the upcoming voting on zoning Amendments, especially as Workforce Housing (e.g., low cost, higher density, clustered developments).  It was clear, especially when the Town Planner had an outburst of “YOU HAVE YOUR FUTURES!  YOU HAVE YOUR AGENDA 21s!!!” in trying to deny NH State Rep Jane Cormier a few minutes to speak (Ah yes, the retaliation of our betters against “the rabble”, eh?) that the board was attempting to “stack the meeting’.  While a couple of folks seemed to be in favor of the WFH oriented Amendments, most were not.  All videos after the jump.

In fact, the voting on the amendments yesterday showed that the whole concept got a huge thumbs DOWN as evidenced by the article in today’s Laconia Daily Sun (emphasis mine, reformatted):

WORKFORCE HOUSING AMENDMENTS TAKE BEATING IN SANBORNTON

…All six zoning ordinance amendments failed as town residents said no to so-called workforce housing.

Pretty it wasn’t for those that were for these.  As I listened to the entire meeting from the 1st, I mentally kept checking off in my head – yup, this is the EPA / HUD / DOT’s Sustainable Communities Initiative.  Yes, as you can hear the Planner’s outburst and

Blogline of the Day – it speaks for itself

 IowaHawk:  “If I understand college administrators correctly, colleges are hotbeds of racism and rape that everyone should be able to attend.” (H/T: Instapundit)

I AM old enough to know there is evil in the world…

And I am old enough to have seen Evil and experienced it.  First, there are those that only know naked force that they would use against me, my family, my friends, and my property: And then there are those that relish using naked political force, through the stroke of a pen, that can wreak even more … Read more

Rochester 9/12 Meeting – Part 1

Last night I traveled southeast to video the monthly Rochester 9/12 meeting.  Haven’t been for a long while but since Jerry and Sue Delemus asked, I went!  The place was packed – and a boisterous crowd at times as well.  The main draw was the reporting by Jerry (and with some of his friends that … Read more

Rochester 9/12 – Part 2 CVA (Concerned Veterans of America)

Continuing on from the previous post, next up during the meeting was a presentation by Matt Spencer, a team leader with the NH Chapter of the Concerned Veterans of America. Turns out, a great place to be as it seemed that 1/3 to 1/2 of the audience (did I tell you that the place was packed??) were vets (and a good deal more associated with vets).  Discussions were about upcoming events, advocacy, the absolute tragedy of the VA denying medical care to vets simply to make their “numbers” look good, and the mental illnesses that vets are experiencing and how other vets can help:

Rochester 9/12 – Part 3: Cliven Bundy ranch (1 & 2)

The co-main event of the evening (main event by length of time) was a report by Jerry Delemus (along with his friends who were there  in Bunkerville, Nevada with him) from his time at the Cliven Bundy ranch.  A lot went on and some of it was different than what was reported in the media, … Read more

Rochester 9/12 – Part 5: Dr. William Baer and the Gilford School Board (Parts 1 & 2)

The last major update of the night was from Dr. William Baer (aka Billy Baer) and Josh Youssef on Dr. Baer’s arrest at the behest of the Gilford School Board as they tried to stonewall his efforts to get answers from them on why they permitted Teen Porn to be part of the curriculum that his freshman daughter was forced to read:

GrokTALK! 5/10/2014 – Dr. William Baer and the Gilford School Board

We had an extended segment with Dr. William Baer (aka, Billy Baer) that was arrested at this past Monday’s Gilford School Board simply because the Gilford School Board decided that they had to use their Power to stifle an angry parent’s ire about them allowing Teen Porn into his daughter’s Freshman class (taught by Gail Hutchinson).  This has gone viral nationally (and we have been writing about it here, here, here, here, here, here, and here for starters – and for a bonus, here’s an older post (same cast of characters) of the Gilford School Board antics – head over to GilfordGrok and do some searches as well.  While it has been dormant for a while, topmost post also shows uber-government bootlicker, Joe Wernig on display – he was the guy badmouthing Dr. Baer while saying “Hey, the school wants to make my daughters read Teen Porn – NO PROBLEM!  School over parents is his mantra, I guess).

Anyways, here is our first segment (of three) with Dr. Baer:

GrokTALK! 5/10/2014 – Jim Rubens, US Senate candidate comes in and Radical Moderate calls in

November is coming and September is coming even faster and for we of the activist community, the election campaigns are now starting to transfer from second to third gear (even though for some, the campaign season is already getting long).  Jim Rubens is one of the three of the four willing to converse with us and sometimes, battle with us (with Karen Testerman and former US Senator Bob Smith being the other two; Scott Brown being the only one who seems to be unwilling (er, runs away?) to even talk with us.  Look, we have differences with them ALL (some minor, some major) – but to not want to engage at all?  Look, we’re just ordinary schlubs – what is he scared of?

Anyways, props to Jim for entering the “Grok Pit” and risking getting bit – and he did get nibbled a bit (watch and see) but it shows he’s not willing to play it safe:

Also, prolific and erudite GraniteGrok commenter Radical Moderate (or as we call him, Rad Mod) calls in as well (YES!  We do take callers!):

Notable Quote – Bertrand de Jouvenel

If the natural tendency of power is to grow, and if it can extend its authority and increase its resources only at the expense of the notables, it follows that its ally for all time is the common people. The passion for absolutism is, inevitably, in conspiracy with the passion for equality. – Bertrand de … Read more
