Yesterday Susan posted a link regarding an LSR submitted by NH House Rep Renny Cushing, (D-Rockingham District 21.)

Renny has proposed a bill (like one recently passed in California) that would require all universities, in New Hampshire’s case public and private, to adopt and enforce a set of draconian rules for all human sexual interaction on campus.

Yes, the prophesied anti-sexual theocracy is upon us. But the long feared bedroom invasion comes not from the Christian right. It comes from the religion of the secular humanist-social justice Democrats in the New Hampshire House.

From Guinta for Congress

MANCHESTER – This morning, Frank Guinta was with Jack Heath on WGIR, an event initially slated to be a debate between him and Congresswoman Shea-Porter. The Congresswoman declined to attend.

She has also failed to accept a debate invitation from New England College. Additionally, she has repeatedly refused to hold a public town hall meeting since the beginning of her term in 2013. Recently, the Congresswoman released a list of alleged public town halls that she held, including one that supposedly occurred in Hooksett.

Don Wintertown, a Town Councilor from Hooksett, released the following statement:

Yesterday I wrote about John White, the Democrat state Senate candidate who called New Hampshire’s low income residents bottom feeders.  Had a Republican said this it would be above the fold on every paper but the Union Leader.  But a Democrat said it.  But that is how Democrats think.

They also think that they can get votes by pimping the DNC’s wage outrage and the push for hiking the minimum wage.  The talking points number is $10.10/hour, a meaningless number that probably polled well among guilty liberals who could care less because they have other motivations.  [No one can likely “live” on $10.10 an hour either, and all it will do is hurt the people Democrats claim they want to help, but the increase will also trigger more than a few automatic hikes in wages for well paid union employees (some paid by taxpayers) who will then get to pay more dues to the unions who will then have more Money for Democrat campaigns.]

But lets stick to the $10.10/ hour number because when John “Bottom Feeders” White said hiking the minimum wage was his cure for economic ills, he said it because it was Democrat party rhetoric, but without grasping that he is appealing to almost no one in New Hampshire.

This week we are joined by a trio of candidates running for public office; Patrick Page (PatrickPage4NH), Josh Moore (Josh Moore.com), and Eileen Landies (Eileen4NH). Everyone agrees that the trend in government tax and regulatory policy are suppressing employment, growth, and crushing small business owners. We talk about all the factors and some of the solutions.

Old news from the Fish Wrap that’s gained new life; Democrat State Senate Candidate John R. White calls low income residents bottom feeders.

If the Republicans were serious about job creation, they’d get serious about boosting the bottom feeders and stop worrying so much about the boys in the boardrooms.

Instead, they eliminated the state’s minimum wage, dropping the state wage floor to the federal level, a level at which no family can survive.

The state GOP is demanding an apology for the insult but I think they are missing the boat.   New Hampshire’s average hourly rate of pay, according to NH state employment Security data is $22.62/hour.   The lowest reported hourly rate is still above the Democrat parties arbitrary talking point.  And New Hampshire consistently ranks well on every metric of national prosperity, in the absence of the Democrats so-called, must have, state minimum wage.

That’s free Market driven prosperity without arbitrary government interference, thanks (according to NH Democrat John White) to Republicans.  Hello!  Republican Messaging Department!  Lighting strike!

Former NH House Candidate and Democrat activist Jared S. Cram double voted from Wilton NH, and Philadelphia PA.  Cram has “lived in PA, since late 2005, but voted in NH as recently as 2012.

Defenders of such electoral habits as these, from the State Party, to local Democrats who domicile non-resident voters, to the NH AG’s office (some of whom also domicile non-resident voters) will all claim that there is no way to know the intent of the person claiming to be a resident of New Hampshire for voting purposes.

I beg to differ.  And in Cram’s case I challenge the advocates of non-resident vote thievery to prove otherwise.

Every morning bloggers comb the search engines for news that interests them that day.  There is often too much to share, and I’ve never really committed to addressing that so let us try this; here is an AM round-up of links and blurbs that caught my eye before breakfast but that might never get a complete post all their own.

Up first – When is NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen going to speak out against Colorado  Democrat Senator Mark Udall’s war on women with his embrace of sex-selective abortion?

Who needs more Red lines in Syria and another Obama foreign policy ‘victory’ that never existed.

Syria has four chemical weapons facilities that it did not previously disclose to the United Nations, a Western diplomat told CNN on Tuesday. The diplomat said Sigrid Kaag, the U.N. special envoy overseeing the destruction of Syria’s chemical stockpiles, briefed the U.N. Security Council.

Not-Ready for Hillary alternate Marxist Martin O’Mally makes MD proud as he vies for a ‘Biden Award’ by claiming a previously unrecognized human right to Wi-Fi.   Red Maryland Radio has audio commentary on this as well.

Keep your BS detectors on alert ladies and gentleman. New York Times editorial writer Gail Collins has thrown down the next gauntlet in the media war on mankind’s war on the climate. A beach full of Walrus is a sign of the coming climapocalypse.

They’re piling up in Alaska. About 35,000 walruses have formed what looks to be a humongous brown ball along the northern coast. A mass of critters, some weighing 4,000 pounds, are pressed shoulder to shoulder — or flipper to flipper.

Gail blames the lack of ice, because as every elitist arm-chair zoologist/New york Times Columnist worth their climate rhetoric knows, four-thousand pound critters should not be piling up in a humongous brown ball they should be out on the ice. And if they are not on the ice, there must not be enough ice.

Unfortunately for Gail, an actual zoologist named Dr. Susan Crockford, whose contact with walrus is not limited to swanky progressive fundraisers where running out of ice is verboten, thinks that this effort by Collins, the WWF, and other envrio-nutjobs, is blatant nonsense.

Year after year New Hampshire ranks as one of the best states to live in for quality of life.  We consistently rank in the top three for health, wellness, income, and other factors, including low crime, lowest poverty rate , and lowest homicides per capita.  This year, 2014, we are again number #1 for quality of life, and don’t you just love the first reason why?

New Hampshire scored better than any other state for quality of life. No state had a lower homicide rate than New Hampshire, where there was just barely a single murder per 100,000 residents. Additionally, New Hampshire was also the top-ranked state for accessibility of services, with 79% of households reporting they had access to broadband, the highest in the United States. Further, New Hampshire ranked among the best states in most other measures considered by the OECD. The Granite State also had the nation’s lowest poverty rate in 2013, according to the Census Bureau, at just 8.7% of all residents.

Someone should map out the correlation between states where Democrats claim out-of-state gun groups are spending loads of cash to influence local elections and their homicide rates.

Granite State Futures Blog

We’d like to give Senator Sharon Carson the benefit of the doubt, but it is tough when her husband Gregory Carson is the lead lawyer and representative for HUD in NH.

When anyone questions the Granite State Future program, he is the one they send to put out the fires and quell the ‘myths’. (…)(So) you have to wonder why his wife, Senator Sharon Carson, was sponsoring legislation to establish “the board of building officials for the certification and regulation of persons enforcing the state building code and conducting building inspections.”

Bill Text SB 315

(…)  We couldn’t help but think this was yet another tactic in a multi-pronged attack on our local control, a measure being taken to ensure that the ‘board’ is zoning ordinance friendly, that is to say, zoning ordinances that come with or are changed by participation in federal grants such as Granite State Future.

SB 315 went to interim study (put out to pasture), but was it because New Hampshire has too many certification boards/committees (Occupational cartels) already?
