GrokTALK! – Roids, Cops, and Common Law

We’ve got a few more thoughts on the Mark Richardson trial – officers abusing suspects; observations about bulky cops, steroids, and anger management; and some words about common law vs statutory law.  

Democrats Passed the Law so They Could Find Out What Was In It

courtgavel-tileThe ruling in King v. Burwell will determine whether the Supreme Court believes Democrats must live with their own words or not.

Democrats wrote the Affordable Care Act. They excluded taxpayer bailouts to states that do not build their own exchanges (in part) to force them to build them, and (in part) to punish those who did not climb on board the hopey-changey-health-care-bus.

Democrats bribed Democrat members of congress to pass it. They insisted we had to pass it to see what was in it. This is what was in it.

The Left Wont Even Let You Be the Woman You Thought You Were Meant to Be…

…because like everything else coming from the left, if you refuse to conform you are an enemy of the state, “the state” being whatever state of being to which you refused to conform. Moreover, there’s something gloriously perverse in celebrating someone’s (Bruce Jenner’s) courage to boldly smash sexual categories and then, in the same breath, … Read more

GrokTALK! – Taxpayers On The Hook Again?

Taxpayers might be on the hook again as a local utility looks to divest itself of some property (with the legislatures help). Then there’s an election law bill that may make the definition of domicile worse (if you can imagine that). And we take a few shots at UNH because we are talking about domicile. … Read more

Taking steps to limit warrantless tracking

The Patriot Act is dead, replaced Tuesday by the USA Freedom Act, which was passed by the Senate before being signed into law hours later by President Obama.

Lincoln Chafee – ‘Lets Go Metric!’

From the “No chance in Hell” department.

Lincoln Chafee, the former Republican, independent, senator and governor of Rhode Island, joined the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday with a plea to change the way Americans measure stuff.

“Earlier, I said let’s be bold,” he said from George Mason University in Virginia. “Here’s a bold embrace of internationalism: Let’s join the rest of the world and go metric.

Hmmm. We’ve been “going metric” my entire life and all we’ve got to show for it (in the day-day world) are two-liter bottles of soda that go flat before you finish them. But hey, maybe this Republican, turned Independent, running for the Democrat presidential nomination, has the inside line?  (Be warned: he may change his mind and declare himself in favor of switching to fingers and palms by mid-summer if Joe Biden hasn’t enforced his claim on those by that time.)

The NH Democrat Party’s Ideological Klan-cestors

KKK
…to defend Klan policy and veto SB116

Carry Licenses were implemented in New Hampshire nearly 100 years ago to prevent certain undesirable persons from being able to carry concealed.  One of the leading Democrat organizations in favor of such limitations was the Ku Klux Klan.  So if governor Maggie Hassan vetoes SB 116 is she refusing to repeal a discriminatory policy favored by her ideological… Klancestors?

According to an article in Historical New Hampshire Vol. 43 No.4, The Ku Klux Klan In New Hampshire, 1923-1927, by Stephen H. Goetz, “…Ku Klux showmen blamed societal change on groups of scapegoats: blacks, Catholics, Jews, and immigrants.” In the book The Ku Klux Klan in American Politics ( http://tiny.cc/rfo0yx ), by Arnold S. Rice, he writes:
