Abdicating on the debt-limit debate is an easy move for Obama because it is the only thing he is any good at.   He already said he would not negotiate, then he said he would negotiate but only if he got his way first; which is the same thing a saying he wont negotiate.   So bowing out of not doing anything is classic Obama.

Officially, Obama can barely negotiate his way through a sandwich and if it weren’t for shadow President Jarret and shadow Vice president Michelle-O, and a trillion Czars (or Tsars), courtiers, hangers-on, rent-seeking lobbyists working the levers in the backrooms, and union bosses, nothing would probably ever get done around the Spite House, although spending other people’s money seems to come as easy as lying to these people.

It’s been a few days since I reported that a Democrat Candidate running for office in Nashua this November harbored an out of state campaigner who voted absentee in New Hampshire using that candidates address.  The candidate is Latha Mangipudi, Democrat, from Nashua.  The vote stealer is Alysha Tyranny Tierney.  And isn’t it about time we added some screen grabs to the story?

Let us begin with this.

Alysha registered to vote in NH and claimed to live at the home of Democrat candidate Latha Mangipudi.

“Koch Brothers 30 year Plot to Destroy Public Television…” is a great headline because it will attract progressives haters the way blood attracts sharks.  Maybe we’ll even get some of that Democrat civility we always hear about.  You know, the rhetoric about arsonists, extortionists and terrorists, and that’s just from Democrats in congress and the media.  The full-blown left-wing-nut-roots crowd who are  just one twig-snap away from being the next Adam Lanza, Andrew Engeldinger, or James Holmes, all Democrats who committed mass shootings, could very likely write some very entertaining things from which we can milk posts for weeks.

So why that headline?  Well, there is an ellipses so let me finish it, and yes it is about the Koch Brothers and Public Television and a protest.

OFA Ballot Box Stuffer Melissa Shohet’s LinkedIn Profile is gone.  Vanished.  Disappeared.  Who is Melissa Shohet?  Allow me to remind you.

When Melissa Shohet votes in New Hampshire, she claims to live at 5 Stone Post Road in Salem New Hampshire, the home of Michael and Christine Brown.   Michael K. Brown.  Michael K. Brown is a Sr. Assistant Attorney General for the state of New Hampshire.  The same attorney General’s office that…all together now; just exonerated New Hampshire Democrat State Senator Martha Fuller Clark for having what? For having a number of OFA campaign professionals registered to vote from her home in the historic voter-fraud district in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, one of whom is a Lawyer from Arkansas who voted absentee….from her Portsmouth address.

Given that she was one of many rising stars in the OFA vote stealing firmament, dumping her LinkedIn profile is a bit suspicious.

Latha Mangipudi isn’t just a Nashua Democrat running for the New Hampshire House (in a special election on November 5th, 2013), she also aids and abets vote fraud by letting an out of state campaign worker claim residence in her home at 20 Salmon Brook Drive in  Nashua, New Hampshire.

The out of state campaigner is Alysha Marie Tierney (pronounced like “tyranny”).  Alysha lives at 5 N Arthur St Ludlow, MA 01056-1849.  She is currently a Staff Assistant at Harvard Kennedy School of Government (according to her LinkedIn page) but before that she was a college student at the University of Virginia.

Massachusetts, Virginia, Massachusetts….

This is an excellent example of the hubris of Obama and the Democrat run Federal Government.  These Demo-brats are so mad that they didn’t get their way–that ‘way’ being the unsustainable continued and unobstructed growth and debt accumulation of the Federal government–that they are sending Federal Park Officials to shut down “parks” that are not funded by the Federal government.

These are places that have no reliance on Federal money.  None of their employees work for the Federal Government. Obama might as well have set up Barry-cades around all the Home Depot’s or McDonald’s in the country as an expression of what can happen when his government has a partial shutdown.

I have kids.  They were toddlers for a time.  This is a temper tantrum.

Fresh updates from the nations capitol, (we’ll just call it Obama-bad).  Looks like the Administration has made itself quite clear about what the goals are for Park Service employees during the partial government shutdown.

Wes Pruden reports…

The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II Memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon;

…not that I ever truly expected one.

Good day Rep Schlachman,

An LSR of yours has stirred up some interest and I was looking to get some details; your thoughts on the purpose of this proposed legislation.

Would you care to elaborate on what “enabling municipalities to dispose of certain firearms” would entail?

Best Regards

Rhode Island Liberty-xenophobe (and New Hampshire House Democrat) Cynthia Chase has submitted a Legislative Service Request (LSR) “relative to accountability requirements for HOME EDUCATION programs.”

2014 – LSR 2591-R .

I can see where she’d be concerned.  Home Schooled kids are not typically the kind of progressive drones a liberty-fearing Trotsky-ite like Chase has much tolerance for.  They ask questions and challenge assumptions made by the lefty-media and government institutions, including ones Chase would use  “…to make the environment here so unwelcoming that some (Free Staters) will choose not to come, and some may actually leave.”

The White Mountains of New Hampshire are part of a National Park but it appears that this park is still open and operating (Too big to put barricades around, perhaps?) despite the Democrat’s “create-ways-to-make-it-hurt” fever for the flavor of a shutdown. (Tastes bitter, doesn’t it?)

News Nicht (I mean Nine)

There are few signs of the federal government shutdown, but some locations where visitors could get help are closed.

“Largely it’s the federal employees that work for the White Mountains National Forest who will be seeing the effect, and they are being laid off and furloughed for the time being,” said Cheryl Reardon of the White Mountains Visitor Association.

I have a simple conservative solution to this so-called “problem.”

Efficient Gun Control that makes sense: (Note–on 1-20-14 I am editing some incorrect details copied from the original quote and adding a few of my own–Steve)

In 1863 (April 15) 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

In (July 2) 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States, who later died from the wound.

In (Nov 22) 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In (Sept 5 -Fromme) (Sept 22–Moore) 1975 (two different)  left wing radicals fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.

In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.

By now you have heard about the petty technocrats in the Obama Administration creating obstacles to open air monuments as a public political display about the government shutdown.  Keep in mind, it would actually cost the government more of your money to send Park Police to set up barricades around an open-air monument that are otherwise never there in the first place.   Thus the term “open-air” monument.  Put another way, when it comes to adding a blockade where one did not previously exist, the Obama Administration can say that the government… ‘Built That.”

Could the optics of that get any worse for Democrats?  Lets Hope so.
