Ok.  I’m sorry if the title of this post puts an image into your head that is so disturbing that you need to drink it away – but the connection is worth mentioning. I had the unfortunate experience of watching a sex video that really irritated me.  It irritated me because, not only was it … Read more

It’s Called Voter-Fraud Suppression

NH Vote Fraud at Martha's Motel Martha Fuller Clark home to out of state vote stealersVote Fraud Mountain is beginning to weigh heavy on the minds of progressives.  They are now being directed to write letters to the editor in defense of New Hampshire Democrat vote stealing tactics.  This is fantastic.  People who were not even aware of this issue will now ask why they are doing that.

Here is why.  Democrats are stealing your votes, and they know they are.  The graying of laws and interpretations that permit this theft are of their making.  And Democrats cannot even answer a simple question like this, without having to tie themselves into rhetorical knots.

Why is it OK for out of state activists (who are only here for a few days or weeks if at all) to vote absentee in our elections using the addresses of elected New Hampshire Democrats but thousands of college kids who fail to meet the residency requirements for in-state tuition at UNH can’t vote absentee in their own home states?

If You Think Obama Is a Good President… You’re a Racist

Dictionary.com Racism:

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

I got bad news.  I agree with many on the left.  Our country is infested with vile racists.  They’re everywhere: in our media, in our government, in our schools, in our stores and they remain contaminating a major political party as they have historically done for well over a century.

A cynical person might put two and two together and conclude something sinister and nefarious is afoot.  That intentional harm is consistently applied to a certain group of people by the hands of another certain group of people. Think about it. The same party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow and who fought against the Civil Rights movement (e.g., people had to march in Alabama for civil rights to be recognized because of the Democrats controlling the state: George Wallace, Governor, Democrat) is now insouciant about the demise of the black family and the black squalor of the inner cities.  Coincidence? Maybe.

But there’s more…

If  you think Obama’s a good president… you’re a racist.

Notable Quote – Frederic Bastiat: “Lawful Plunder”

“It is in the nature of men to rise against the injustice of which they are the victims.  When, therfore, plunder is organized by law, for the profit of those who perpetrate it, all the plundered classes tend, either by peaceful or revolutionary means, to enter in some way into the manufacturing of laws.  These … Read more

Kerry Does The Kennedy Hit And Run

Kerry Kennedy is going to court for driving while drugged and leaving the scene of an accident.  I guess she didn’t have a local police commissioner on speed dial who could help her hide for 18 hours.

The Cost of Medicaid Has Increased 31,212 %

If NH Senate Republicans would like to do some more math on just how much that best-case scenario 10% is going to cost their New Hampshire constituents over the long haul, (Democrats don’t care, by the way) they might want to factor this in as well. c/o The Daily Caller Using government data, in his … Read more

The Global Warming “Problem” In Sochi, Russia

Sochi as seen from the black sea
Sochi Russia, is a humid sub-trpoical coastal resort.

It was a matter of Climate alarmist pride that there were “issues” with the warm weather in Sochi for the Winter Olympics.  Well, I’m here to punch your pride full of holes with some help from Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell – writing over at the PatriotPost.us.

“…even the Olympics are now being turned into a propaganda message, as we are hearing about how warm it is. Hello, McFly, Sochi’s normal high is 52 degrees in winter.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Sochi:

According to the 2010 Census, the city had a permanent population of 343,334, up from 328,809 recorded in the 2002 Census, making it Russia’s largest resort city. It is one of the very few places in Russia with a subtropical climate, with warm to hot summers and mild winters.

Democrats Passed And Support Health Care Suppression

If asking for an ID to vote is voter suppression then needing an ID to access your ObamaCare health services must be health Care suppression, yes?

So….for the NH AG’s Office…Business as Usual?

Conservative or Republican AG’s are, of course, excluded from this fatwa. (Didn’t I just post a quote relevant to this…?) NYT clearly thought it newsworthy that US AG would say state AGs have no obligation to defend state law/constitution they disagree with… — Byron York (@ByronYork) February 24, 2014

How About Judge Pappas?

gavelThere is a rumor circulating that as recompense for his stepping down after using his position to help a mutual friend avoid getting arrested for DWI, Governor Maggie Hassan could consider offering former Nashua Police commissioner Thomas Pappas a job as a judge.

The Mutual friend is Democrat House Transportation Committee Chairman David ‘Duck Slayer’ Campbell.

If true, and let me remind you that it is just a rumor, that would be an interesting position to put the majority Democrat Executive council in.
