Local Fish Wrapper Concord Monitor Editorial On Asylums And Witch Hunts

by

When assertions come to the forefront accusing the government and the courts of corruption, misconduct and oppression…and those assertions are made by those who might be well-considered, “conservative,” those people are wing nutsnut jobs, extremists, fascists and, as the Concord Monitor characterizes them, “Witch Hunters.”

And, when accusations of government of corruption, court misconduct and oppression are made by those who of a liberal progressive bent, suddenly the conversation devolves into the plight of the poor oppressed and persecuted individuals and their plight before a corrupt right wing government consisting of the, “White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Oligarchy,”…usually followed by the requisite hue and cry, “We must rise up and stick it to, ‘the man.'”

How an issue is couched depends largely on one’s world view. But to read the Concord Monitor editorial, accepting what is written at face value, one might easily opine that the actions of Representatives Itse, Ingbretson, Baldasaro and Seidel are patently without merit. But in typical liberal fashion, the editorial staff at CM banks its assertions on the notion that people are not going to critically think about what is being done in the name of justice and accept their notion that this is nothing more than a witch hunt.

Despite the numerous past media accounts of Judicial Misconduct (often given little print by the CM, I might add) we are all presumed to accept the paradigm that the courts rarely, if ever, err… and judges and masters are always above reproach in the crafting of their decisions.

There are few that do not acknowledge the zero-sum nature of divorce and family actions where there are clear winners and losers. But people don’t really comprehend (or don’t really want to) the rank unfairness that occurs in these cases for little more than personal missions of activism and perceived leveling of the playing field. The Judicial Conduct Committee has long demonstrated its unwillingness to effectively discipline errant or wayward judges with little more than an admonishment. Hence, we now have what is commonly referred to, as the Live Boy/Dead Girl Legal Doctine…(what is required to remove a judge).

Oh yes, by all means…corrupt judges do exist we all acknowledge that…but that’s other places, not in New Hampshire. Our judges defecate Tiffany cuff links. And shame on those New Hampshire Reps for trying to address the concerns of citizens. After all, it’s not like Itse, Baldesaro, Ingbretson and Seidel have a brain…NO! they just initiate House address bills on a single knee-jerk reaction of one person’s caterwauling, refusing to look for a pattern of misconduct and trends that might make an otherwise reasonable person opine, “Something is rotten in Denmark” The Concord Monitor Editorial Staff should try appearing a bit more independent and less like a proxy mouthpiece for some judicial hack with self-serving ambitions and hurt feelings.
