If you allow a Christian moral code to drive your life it won’t be long before some secular-humanist decides that what you really want is a theocracy. Given this lack of intellectual agility we should then not be at all surprised when the same people, more often than not willful denizens of the Progressive Plantation, encourage the political Gods in DC to do their regulatin’ for them.  Put another way; if you can’t get it passed at the state level get er done from DC.

It’s the Democrat Party equivalent of divine intervention.  Thou shalt not let the state legislature stop you from having what you are certain is best for everyone else even if they don’t want it.   In this instance we refer to automated license plate readers.  The New Hampshire State Legislature tabled the bill sponsored by Democrat Deputy Dawg Stephen Shurtleff, citing privacy concerns.

So did Shurtleff or some other New Hampshire Democrat call the Democrat parties representative to New Hampshire, Carol Shea-Porter, to get done by Federal commandment what could not be done at the State level?

At the tail end of this post, I asked these questions…

How about NH AG Joseph Foster, former NH Democrat State Senator?  He quite clearly opposes stand your ground, without which George Zimmerman might actually be dead.   It might be good to hear him (the AG) speak just as plainly on the matter of Mr. Zimmerman’s trial, the evidence, his declared innocence (by a jury of peers), if AG Foster thought Mr. Zimmerman should have just let Trayvon beat the sh*t out of him near-to or to the point of his own death, and–of course–on the matter of groups placing bounties on the heads of New Hampshire citizens just because they don’t agree with a Jury’s verdict.  We’d love to hear his thoughts on that as well.

Seeing as AG Foster has publicly re-stated his opposition on SYG in the wake of this trial, and invoked AG Holder’s most recent political anti-gun chess move as his motivation, and declared a need for the legislature to take another look at repealing it in New Hampshire, I think the people of New Hampshire deserve a second look at their Attorney Generals views on the circumstances as noted above.

Congressperson Carol Shea-Kuster, Ann McLane Porter, Annie “Grabbed your Camera Kuster”… I’ll just go back to calling her McKluster, posed for a picture (no I do not believe she snatched the camera away or said F.You to the photographer) which she has reportedly had posted on her facebook page.   (Concord Monitor Lizard)

Most of the photographs used by politicians to promote themselves are tiresome in the extreme: the dark suit, the carefully coiffed hair, the frozen smile. In that context, the picture used these days by 2nd District Rep. Annie Kuster on her official Facebook page is all the more startling, refreshing and cool.

Kuster’s photograph shows her with a swatch of silver-gray duct tape covering her mouth. On her left cheek, in black and red paint, is the symbol “NOH8.” With her right hand, she has two fingers (Peace? Victory?) pointed at her temple.

I’m sorry Concord Monitor Lizard.  What exactly is so startling about a progressive rubber stamp pandering to one of her so-called victim classes?

If you have not watched it yet, scroll down to Rick’s post and check out the Militant Black Panthers in their paramilitary garb, complete with rank insignia, announcing that they expect to have a million dollars in support from the entertainment industry (Rich liberals) and are paying a $10,000.00 reward for the capture of a Hispanic man?

The (New!) Black Panthers have engaged in actual voter intimidation and been encouraged by Obama and the Democrats when they refused to prosecute them; acts over which the New Hampshire Democrat Party Leadership, always sensitive to the most subtle forms of vote suppression, were not outraged.

Does Harrell have any juice in him to speak out against Obama-supporting Democrat lynch mobs paying a bounty to anyone willing to hunt down and capture a free citizen, tried and found innocent by a jury of their peers?  Does he have the juice to condemn the administration for failing or refusing to denounce it as well?

Alternate Title–and a great name for a children’s book. “Anyone Seen Jeanne?”

Filibusters are like ‘equality’ on the Democrat plantation. It’s only good when your kind of people are concerned.  Republican’s filibuster and it’s all about division, partisanship, stopping progress, obstruction of the will of the people.  Democrats do it and they are Jesus healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and protecting the future for our children–even when the filibuster is to ensure that babies never grow up to be children.

They’re Democrats, what else can I say?

Another thing that is like the filibusters is Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s office which, after a fashion,  filibustered on the whereabouts of New Hampshire’s senior Senator on the evening of a joint caucus session of the US Senate on the nuclear option–on the filibuster in the US Senate.  It was pretty important but Senator Shaheen was conspicuously absent.

So where was New Hampshire’s Senior Senator?

Detroit filed for bankruptcy Thursday afternoon, becoming the nation’s largest public sector bankruptcy. The move could slash pension benefits to city workers and retirees, and leave investors holding the city’s debt with only pennies on the dollar.

In the end, all that support public union support for unsustainable government is for naught.  It’s a Ponzi scheme.  It’s the airplane game.  The goal is to load up your “plane,” get your payoff, and get out before it all collapses.   Is it the natural evolution of the progressive process, by which a multigenerational “family” of transient Democrat ideologues, creates a one-party fiefdom and exchanges favors to unions for winning elections, while making promises with other people’s money out to two or three generations of taxpayers not yet born.

I started writing this as a comment to Skip’s post (here) but then realized it was too long.

Stand Your Ground was never brought up at the Zimmerman trial but I think that was intentional.   It was never about Zimmerman.  It was always about Stand Your Ground and the left’s anti-gun agenda.  He’s just a vehicle for the narrative.   They just had to get someone to put him on trial.  Win or lose the narrative has got legs.

If they lose the case this leads to low info-voter-racially motivated public protest, which equals the appearance of public support for the real agenda.  If the Win–if Zimmerman was found guilty–then they use that as a catalyst to move against stand your ground and castle doctrine, and self-defense in general.

The Obama admin’s mission from day one was to find someone to charge him and try him.  The outcome was irrelevant to the real goal.  And so they applied pressure where needed to make a trial happen.

What Andy Sanborn actually said was next to nothing in the grand scheme of crap issued from the mouths of Democrats and summarily ignored or dismissed.  But NHDP Spokes-Kid, Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’ Kirstein snapped like a dried twig stepped on by a troll looking for a bridge to terrorize.   Total over-reaction.  In fact,  the Democrat party response was so dramatic and so over the top it deserves a nomination for left wing for tantrum of the year.

So why the nomination in the “even more over-dramatic than usual fear-mongering from the Democrat State party over a person, issue, or statement” category?

I recently reiterated my oft-said point on GrokTALK! this week that you can’t be a principled Republican and support unions; voting against Right to Work for example mandates employee funding of the Democrat machine and everything it tries to destroy.  And Obama Care was just the biggest, most recent example.  Unions were all in.  They spent millions on Democrats, ran a ground game, even counter-protested TEA Party opposition across the nation, including here in New Hampshire.

We tried to warn them.  But they didn’t listen.  They put ideology before principle, heck, before history, math, and even common sense.  They took the Blue pill–the blissful ignorance of illusion.  But the reality of what Obama Care will really do has finally come home to roost with the Union leadership boys and girls.  Nothing is free.  Someone or somehow “IT” has to paid for.   And the Union Leadership has discovered that Obama Care is NOT good for American Workers.

To quote Morpheus from the Matrix, “Welcome to the real world.”

I’m curious.  When can we expect Harrell Kirstein and the New Hampshire Democrat party leadership to go off the rails over US Senator Max Baucus’ (Democrat) statement that compared Obama care to a huge Train wreck?

Train wrecks have been on the rise and are responsible for multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries.  Just this year alone there have been wrecks in Baltimore, DC, Paris, Argentina, and recently in Canada where at least 35 people have died.

And yet…no demands that the Democrat party to disavow or distance themselves from Senator Baucus?  No tantrums over his connections to boards or committees that make policy decisions about the misnamed Patient Affordable Care Act or Medicaid expansion?  No broad sweeping statements about Baucus being heartless or callous?  Shouldn’t you at least write something for fear of being branded yet again as an ideological, uber-partisan left-wing hypocrite?

Wait.  Let me help you out with that.

The death of 6′ 1″  5′ 11″ Trayvon Martin was a tragedy as is the loss of any life but he chose to pin George Zimmerman to the ground and then attempt to
turn his head into meatloaf.

If Mr. Zimmerman had not then had to shoot Mr. Martin in an effort to save himself from additional injury or death no one would have ever heard of either of them and Travon’s trial for aggravated assault, attempted murder, or even the murder of George Zimmerman, would have never even registered on the race-baiter/anti-gun left’s radar.

The circus-left and their ring-masters in the media do not care about anyone’s life or their rights.
