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.

Hmm, conventional wisdom says it is the desperate one….

… that demands a debate when it concerns political campaigning.  Here in NH Senate District 2, Fran Wendelboe, the long term political insider in the House for the last 9 years, may be showing signs of angst:  "Voters have the right to see the two of us together in a public format and be able … Read more

An Open Letter to the TEA Party, Libertarians and 912 Patriots

Guest post by Derek "Mac" Kittredge, Rochester Republican City Committee

The TEA parties grew out of the accurately perceived observation that our nation was under attack from the very agency created to protect it from enemies, foreign and domestic ~ our own government! And many state and municipal governments were going rogue as well. Political auto-immune disease, if you will, with gangrene and Stage 4 bureaucracy.
     
The Marxists couldn’t win elections on their own merits, so they did the next best thing, they took over the Democrat Party. By 1944, Norman Thomas, a former Socialist candidate for President announced that it was no longer necessary for him to run since the Democrats had adopted his platform. Actually, the Democrats were already primed for this as they had been the party of class oriented slave owners and the Ku Klux Klan (Sen. Bob Byrd, WV(D) was the Grande Kleagle of the Klan he organized). Whereas the Republicans were the Abolitionist wing of the Whigs (1853), supporters of Universal Suffrage and abolishers of Jim Crow. We are the Constitution and Liberty party. Today, the Democrat party is totally Marxist on its way to Stalinist fielding Manchurian candidates and those useful idiots posing first as liberals then progressives. Commissars follow Tzars all too soon.
     
The Republican Party’s biggest problem is that the MSM, Hollywood, TV and our public education system have re-written the GOP story and hidden its mission statement by the inspired use of clever propaganda. The result is, that many Republicans become disaffected, discouraged and stay home. And lose elections. Sure we’ve had our share of opportunists and fools, but remember where the revelations of our collective faults come from. The MSM lies, slants and cherry-picks the stories. Now they are doing this to the TEA party. And America! Think what 90 years of Koolaid has done to the Republican brand. The answer isn’t purges, it’s education! And action.
     
Realizing this, I joined the Rochester 912 group and told them several things:

“Gov. Lynch To Business Community: NH To Reward Employee Theft”

Guest post by Andy Sanborn – small business owner and candidate for NH Senate, District 7, and has been endorsed by GraniteGrok because of stances such as this:

Governor Lynch says stealing is OK, just don’t take a lot, but if you do steal and get caught, don’t worry, the State will take care of you…  As a business owner, employer and someone who believes we should maintain a rational moral code, I can’t wrap my arms around this latest law enacted by our Governor and the legislature in Concord.  For anyone who wonders if our current crop of leaders in Concord is out of touch, maybe this is the hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.

This is just another perfect example of how twisted the perception of right and wrong is in Concord, and why so many of us want to see a change in this disappointing leadership.

Last week, the Governor signed Bill HB1168 into law, effective September 6, which will force business owners to reward employees caught stealing.  The law, filed under RSA 282-A: 35 states that an employee only commits “Gross Misconduct” if they steal more than $500 from their employer.  So, under this new law, if an employer fires an employee for stealing, the State will allow that employee to collect unemployment checks, of which that money comes from a tax assessment of all business owners in the State.

And, it’s not just if an employee steals from the boss, same thing if an employee is caught stealing from a customer, another employee or the cancer donation jar on the counter.

Until now…

Questions….so many Questions….

Once again, it seems like the Grass Roots (vs the monied set) is having questions about the dude that enters the race with a cloud of TEA Party controversy, ticks off said organizers, hijacks their event for subsequent political ads, hiring high powered (and priced) Internet operatives, and touts his TEA Party cred (cred to … Read more

Friday Humor – my, how times have changed…

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land." Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is … Read more

Political blogging – Frank Guinta event at the Taylor Community

Well, as I put it here:

Well, this may or may not be too successful a live stream – very weak WiFi signal here and have already been dropped 4 times.  BUT! we’ll keep trying – am recording on a back up camera for later on.

Well, I think the signal dropped about 15, 16 times and we had two cameras running – the reliable (but time limited) Flip cam and we’re still learning the newest Sony (gotta figure out how to better record in dim light with the latter).

The former is here:

The latter after the jump:

Political blogging – Frank Guinta event at the Taylor Community – front and back

Still have more from Tuesday:  the intro (front) and the Micro-Interview (back)

Front: I’ve known Tony Giunta, former mayor of Franklin, NH for a number of years now – his upbeat mannerism in the clip below is no put on – while he does have a serious side, what you see here is typical:

Back: after the jump. 

Note: Still uploading the Q & A.  It is standard political fare that our "seasoned citizens" are also the best voters in the country – they also had a lot of questions – a total of over an hour!  Ya think they’ve got an interest in the outcome of the election and want to make sure they pull the lever for the right candidate!

(and yes, they are cousins)

We made another campaign mailer! Sweet!

And we are proud to support Jeanie (and her wonderful cocker spaniels – I’ll tell you, MY two dogs were absolutely befuddled after TMEW and I met up with them – who ARE these other dogs we smell???).  I guess Jeanie was kinda happy with the ‘Grok as well!

Sure, I spotted our endorsement of Jeanie (kinda hard not too, that’s me in the hat) – as well as the others – and then it struck me:

“8 Ways Fascist Feminists are ruining America’s women”

Saw this over at Cassy Fiano’s and it caught my eye.  Again, we see what uber-Feminists have done to the traditional bricks of the underpinnings of our society.  Again, as we move to a completely "self libertine" way of thinking (as in the 60s "the ME Generation", the most hedonistic evah!), we find that decisions and actions have consequences.  When practiced by a large percentage of the population, the effects of those consequences spill out all over… 

American women have some of the best lives in the world. We can literally do whatever we want. American women can go to school where we want, we can go to college, we can work wherever we want, we can marry whoever we want, and we can choose to lead whatever kind of life we want to lead. Millions of women in oppressed countries around the world cannot even imagine the freedom that American women so enjoy — and take for granted. We’ve come a long way in less than one hundred short years, but a lot of women can’t see that.

We’re constantly told that we’re victims of an invisible patriarchy, that we’re slaves to our hormones, that without abortion on demand we can’t fully be women, that we don’t need a man but we need the government. The people that tell women these lies are the same people who pretend to be fighting for us, who have hijacked feminism: the fascist feminists. Whereas once feminists fought for equality, today the femisogynists fight for things like taxpayer funded abortion and universal health care. They fight for women to be able to sleep around like men and ignore the consequences. And most of the time, women don’t even know they’re being manipulated and lied to. Thankfully, once the lies are exposed, it’s easy to see the con.

Here are eight ways that fascist feminists are ruining America’s women.

8. Encouraging Promiscuity

Once upon a time, men had to earn sex with a woman…Men barely have to put any effort into it anymore, women just give it up hours after meeting random guys at a bar or a party.

This, according to the femisogynists, is called being “empowered”.

7. Sanctioning Victimhood

These are some of the attitudes you’ll find in the fascist feminist set…The reality is that the victim act is really just an excuse for fascist feminists to be greedy little whiners who get special treatment.

6. Dabbling In Misandry

…Ask anyone what they think of when they hear the word “feminism”, and they’ll almost always think of “man-haters”. And there’s a good reason for it, too. When radical feminists hijacked feminism

5. Destroying Chivalry
