Sullivan’s New Hampshire

Sullivan's NH -Burning down the houseThe ‘Su’ in Suckly, Kathy Lawsuit’ Sullivan, has a regular editorial in the Union Leader.  I have no idea why but after reading it and taking a shower to get the brimstone smell off of me, I have to make an arbitrary decision as to whether I should comment.  Normally I do not.  Her template is the recipe for left wing baby formula and so unoriginal I could probably find it in every other paper in the country with the word New Hampshire replaced with (insert name of your state here.)  But this time she closed her ditty with the words…"They are about to destroy the New Hampshire we love."

This is red meat-bait for right wing carnivores.  It begs the obvious question, ‘"what New Hampshire do they love," they being Sullivan and the far left democrats, and history has been kind enough to provide us with an answer.

Kathy Sullivan and the Democrats love a New Hampshire that raised the cost of government by 25% during the worst recession in history.

…that down shifts costs to counties and towns

…that can waste weeks legislating the "right" to let men use the ladies room..

…that limits the right to self defense.

…that needs and wants a sales and income tax.

…that assumes people who wave Gadsden flags are white supremacists.

…that fines people for losing a Balloon.

…that has legislators that are such bad managers that they have to let criminals out of jail early to "save money."

…that lets non-residents steal your votes.

…that hides a nearly one billion dollar deficit while bragging that they have a surplus.

…that kills off small businesses with more taxes and regulations.

…that denies parents their rights.

…that tries to limit free speech.

…that charges you an additional tax for your view above the one built into the cost of the property.

…that robs you of your property rights because you happen to live along the shoreline.

…that thinks more taxes and more regulations encourages job growth.

…that has a government that lies to you almost every day.

…that gives up its sovereignty to a  centrally planned federal government.

…that bonds debt, hides, debt, accumulates debt, and lies about debt. 

…that can’t balance a budget without handouts from Washington DC (and doesn’t want to)

…that implements state wide shadow taxes on energy and raises the cost of doing everything.

…(please feel free to use the comments section to add more)

The point is of course that the New Hampshire Kathy Sullivan loves is actually called New York, or perhaps California, Michigan, or even Massachusetts–it is not named New Hampshire.  But rather than move to one of these left wing failed states she would rather agitate for the destruction of this one.

Maybe Kathy missed it but most of the voters disagree with her vision for our shared future.  They would rather have more freedom, and a bit more of their own money in their pockets, than in the hands of democrats.

So ‘they’ are not about to destroy the New Hampshire they love.  They are about to undo four years of democrat destruction. 

No one is surprised you don’t like that.  But won’t it be handy to have a list, which I hope the readers will expand on, so that the next time someone on the left tries to tell us what it is they love about democrats running New Hampshire, we can remind everyone else what that means.
