GrokTALK! May 24th, 2014 Democracy Alliance Money in New Hampshire

We begin with uber-progressive, millionaire funded, Democracy Alliance and the now publicly available list of their donors and network as well as how much influence they are wielding in New Hampshire.  We also explore some potential congressional NH Democrat pay to play, chat about the State Republican Party, the NRSC, with plenty of references to … Read more

THE LIBERTY MENACE IS REAL!

Those crazy Progressives at GraniteState Progress are harboring their very own McCarthyesque “Liberty Menace” movement.  It’s called the “OUR State Project” and it’s like our very own little ‘Red Scare!’ right here in New Hampshire.

They will be looking behind the bushes for anyone who exhibits personal responsibility or that dares to openly suspect that people don’t need the government to do everything for them.  Anyone who even appears to present a threat to the New Hampshire Democrat Party Agenda will be black listed, marked with the “Liberty letter,” and paraded in the court of public opinion as threats to Democracy.

But, I didn’t think the Brown Shirts at “OUR State Project” NH would spend any of GSP’s Democracy Alliance out-of-state stash on “marketing material” suited to their actual mission, so I thought I’d lend a hand.

GrokSHOTS! – Is Any Shared Opinion Potential Coordination?

SB120 is written so badly that you could probably make the case that any shared opinion in any digital medium could be construed as coordination–which brings us back to the problem of estimating expense relative to any perceived act of coordination…which was left undefinable because the point was never meant to be defining sums to … Read more

Why ‘OUR State Project’ Can’t Run Away From GraniteState Progress…

The OUR State Project is looking to blacklist candidates and then smear them in the court of public opinion.   Cynthia Chase and Susan Bruce are founding members so, no surprises there.

They have been promoting  meetings (on social media) held at the offices of the progressive lobbying outfit Granite State Progress, in Concord, which ties them to GSP’s out-of-state millionaires and dark money.   And now OSP is trying to distance themselves from GraniteState progress. Not directly affiliated?  That’s not going to fly?

OSP tweet not with GSP

We Aren’t The Champions

(North Hill Elementary) ROCHESTER, Mich. – If you don’t understand the phrase “cultural Marxism,” this is a good example. The purpose of the day is for our school to get together for an enjoyable two hours of activities and provide an opportunity for students, teachers and parents to interact cooperatively. Since we believe that all … Read more

Selective Disservice on VA Accountability

The US House overwhelmingly passed a bill on VA accountability that would make it easier to remove incompetent Veterans Administration bureaucrats, but Harry “Road-Block” Reid’s  Senate managed to just barely block the measure as 33 Senate Democrats opposed the Bill. It’s not remarkable unless you note that none of the dissenting Democrats appear to be … Read more

New Hampshire’s Version of ‘Hassanpfeffer’ Has “Turkey” In It

turkey-flagHasanpfeffer is rabbit stew.  In New Hampshire we have something different.  It is called ‘Hassanpfeffer.’  It is made with a New Hampshire Democrat, “Turkey,” and hypocrisy.

Governor Maggie Hassan, your typical light-weight, two-faced tax and spend liberal, has discovered that contrary to Democrat party talking points the economy is not that hot.  In response to revenue issues, some of which–admittedly–were a long time coming, she’s announced a spending freeze for all of the Granite State that includes out-of-state travel paid for from the general fund.   A freeze that does not apply to Maggie Hassan.

The governor has booked a ‘Trade Mission” to the Hassan Homeland that will cost the taxpayers about  $15,000.00 dollars.  Citizens for a Strong NH has issued a Right to Know Request regarding the expenses related to the trip, and considering the Governor’s own executive order moratorium on such spending that seems appropriate, but I have another question.

How can a cultural talking-points, Progressive narrative slave like Maggie Hassan validate a regime that consistently denies rights to women and the LGBT community, and where is the outrage from local advocacy groups for same (who have a prominent presence in our state) in opposition to her trip?

Democrat Party – Obama’s Apparently Doing Something…Like A Boss.

The Democrat Party timed this just right.  (c/o Hot Air)  Another big scandal, Obama voted ‘present’ for five years on the VA issue, and now he’s doing something….

I’m thinking (maybe) he’s passing the buck ‘Like a Boss’ so I made some changes.  Democrats love change, right?(on the jump)
