Prager U – ‘Are People Born Good?’

From Prager University In our universities, newspapers, and television shows, it is a given that external forces are the cause of crime. If not for poverty, murder and rape would be much lower. If not for racism, America’s inner cities would be far wealthier. So on and so on. At the core of this belief … Read more

Consentino’s CIRCLE of POWER

Woman abuser and Atkinson Selectman, Phil Consentino’s CIRCLE of POWER raises its nasty head.

Without a small army of get something for free acolytes the thug from Atkinson, former Police Chief and now Selectman Phil Consentino, would have nothing but free time on his hands – instead of that small object he let do his thinking for him, which is why he left the Atkinson Police Dept. in secret disgrace last year this time. That lawsuit thing which cost Atkinson taxpayer $100,000.00 we know of had a lot to do with it.

But, like with the couple who penned this disgraceful promotion below on behalf of the abuser, the Atkinson CIRCLE of POWER that keeps this pervert, if what is in the Complaint filed with the NH Human Rights Commission that forced his pals in the Atkinson Town Office to pay up and shut up, is true, it is the CIRCLE of POWER that is really to blame.

Here is the best the CoP brown-nosers could come up with in the lap dog Lawrence Eagle Tribune:

Keep The Government OUT of Your Bedroom

I guess all that “keep the government out of the bedroom wailing” was just BS.  The so-called gender warriors in the NH legislature are considering CACR 17, which would make your sexual preferences part of the State Constitution. This is doubly concerning because these are the first people to ignore the constitution when it gets … Read more

The “No Soros Money In New Hampshire” Fairy Tale

I can picture the ruling class progressives telling a bedtime story to their one, adopted, Eastern-European, designer-child. It’s about the evil Koch Brothers and how they used their ‘dark-money’ magic to battle the brave Obama and his Knights of the redistribution round table.

Bruce Braley And the Rottenberg Apple

We should get used to hearing about Bruce Braley, the Democrat pretender to Tom Harkin’s Iowa Senate Janice RottenbergThrone.

If you recall, New Hampshire/Missouri double voter Caitlin Ann Legacki worked as Braley’s congressional communications director while also being paid as his campaign communications director.  This violates House ethics rules.  Braley also violated state and federal tax law in the process.   but much the way Democrats dismiss vote fraud Braley was indifferent to the issues.  Clearly he holds with the party maxim (one shared by Muslim extremists who are permitted to violate the Koran while on jihad), rules that get in the way of electing Democrats (or advancing their agenda) can be ignored.

And we should have known.  As early as 2007 Braley set the table for his approach to ethics.

Yee of No Faith At All

Leland Yee deserves the coverage he has gotten here and elsewhere because he is a typical ruling class Democrat.  “We” must have laws that limit you, but I can do whatever the hell I want.  And it appears he did.  Bribery. Influence peddling.  There’s a hint of drug trafficking in there, and of course gun-running. … Read more

FBI Scrubs Southern Povery Law Center

Left wing hate goes unreportedBy its own definition the Southern Poverty Law Center has always been a hate group. One it excluded from its own list of so-called hate groups.  A list that was nothing more than a ledger to which the Haters at the SPLC added whomever they ideologically disagreed–or with whom their benefactors disagreed.

Whether the list was ever meant to be anything other than a dark corner to segregate ideological enemies in is open to debate but that is what is has become.

Screw It I’m Gardening!

I have considered shooting video of me fertilizing ‘my lawn.’  It would encompass a camera recording me as I walk a spreader across the yard, with little green and off-white pellets skittering across the top of a 12 inch pack of ice and snow. Fertilizer is kind of expensive, though, and I don’t feel like … Read more

Another Day, Another Corrupt Democrat

My kids watch a lot of anime and ‘those with power’ often have more than one form.  That means they have a final form.  For elected Democrats, that final form increasingly appears to be one where they are being led away in handcuffs. Mayor Patrick Cannon, a 47-year-old Democrat who rose from the city’s public … Read more

Yee of Little Faith

One of anti-gun Democrat Leland Yee’s “colleagues”

Yesterday we reported on California state Senator Leland Yee, who was arrested for bribery and corruption charges.   Turns out he has a bigger problem.  He is also being charged with gun-running.

Specifically conspiring with known organized crime lord Kwok Cheung “Shrimp Boy” Chow to illegally import firearms and sell them without a license . .

The affidavit charges that the $2 million worth of weapons to have been secreted into the country from the Philippines included rocket launchers and machine guns, some of which Yee himself had fired while on Mindanao.

Do Maher’s Rants Rile Rottenberg?

Jim Geraghty has a great post loaded with links pointing to evidence on the topic-Democrats remarkable acceptance of their own hypocrisy.  Among those was this: Bill Maher can call Sarah Palin a “cu*t” and “tw*t” without losing any Democratic members of Congress as guests, and the Iowa Democratic party happily builds fundraisers around his performances. … Read more
