GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 8 – Republicans have said that they have eliminated regulations; got that list?

In addition to seeking to be the next RNC Committeewoman, Pam Tucker has something that her opponent cannot claim to have: experience as the current Deputy Speaker of the NH House where she has been intimately involved with policy and the legislation.  One of the claims this session is that the Republicans have been concentrating on fiscal matters and making NH more biz friendly even as the media is hyping the social issues (to which my retort is “there is ALWAYS a fiscal cost to every social issue!”).  So, I challenged Pam: “show me the list!”

A couple days later, she sent the list – take a look after the jump!

Previous questions:

  • Q1 – Why are you running?
  • Q2 – Why should the ordinary Republican care who their RNC Committeewoman is?
  • Q3 – Is defending the NH GOP platform part of the role of the Committeewoman’s role?
  • Q4 – Why vote for you over your opponent?
  • Q5 –  What part of the NH GOP Platform is in danger and why should people rally around it?
  • Q6 – How verbose will you be in defending Republican ideals as Committeewoman during the election season?
  • Q7 – As RNC Committeewoman, how can you sharpen the diferences between Republican and Democrat positions?

Human Achievement Hour – 2012

Human Achievement HourOK, it’s that time of year again: Earth Hour is upon us where tonite between the hours of 8:30 and 9:30, we are all supposed to act like we are back in the Stone Age and just sit in the dark (ok, maybe a candle might be OK, but remember : IT’S CREATING MORE CO2!!!!!!).  But remember, it’s intentions that could (as with all things Liberal, the Environmental movement has morphed into after first being responsible) rather than actually, you know, accomplishing something concrete.

But SKIP!, you don’t think that turning off all the lights for exactly ONE hour is actually a responsible act?

So, how do some “Ecologists” see the human race?

I have several different sets of “bookmarks” in my FireFox setup – one has some environmental sites that I go to.  Yes folks, there are conservative leaning (what I would consider, given that I hold two scientific degrees, “leaning on science” sites).  Others?  I would have to say that one of them is more of the “true believe” (what I would consider, given that I hold two scientific degrees, “leaning on faith” sites): TreeHugger (ya think!).  It can be VERY instructive at times – the post:

Experts Warn Urban Expansion Puts Humanity at Risk

With 7 billion people on the planet, things have already begun to feel a bit hot and crowded, particularly in swelling urban centers — but researchers warn that we’ve ain’t seen nothing yet. Over the next 38 years, Earth’s population is predicted to balloon to 9 billion, with most of those new additions taking up residence in our increasingly crowded cities. But not only does such an outlook of expanding sprawl spell trouble in terms of city planning, say experts, its environmental toll could put humanity itself at risk.

Ah yes, people after Paul Erlich’s own heart (not to mention John Holdren – the science advisor to President Obama): Malthusians (e.g.,  we denizens of earth have been overcrowding the Earth for hundreds of years now.  Now, it isn’t that these folks are just for having the right number of folks living on earth, some of them want NO folks living on earth – look at this comment that one of them left for us all:

Data Point – NH the least religious state in the Union

According to Gallup, individuals who indicated that religion is an important part of their daily life and that they attend religious services every week or almost every week were classified as “very religious” by Gallup officials. That definition would mean 40 percent of Americans nationwide are very religious, the survey found. Another 32 percent of … Read more

Data Point – Highest corporate tax rate in the world is the US

A #1 honor that is does not bode well: On Sunday, the United States gets a distinction no nation wants — the world’s highest corporate tax rate.  Japan, which currently has the highest rate in the world — a 39.8% rate on business income between national and local taxes — cuts its rate to 36.8% … Read more

Internet Doodlings – Greenies want more, don’t like I’m pointing out we’re broke

Congress, Please Don’t Cut Funding for Bike and Pedestrian Programs

In the U.S., cities and states provide most of the funds for bike and pedestrians developments, but the federal government also provides essential funds without which many very important projects wouldn’t have been possible. The previous transportation bill, which was signed into law in 2005 by a Republican Congress and Republican president, supported that vital infrastructure funding. But the current federal government isn’t so keen on creating alternatives to cars: “The Senate has passed a bill that by and large preserves the status quo, but the House of Representatives has tried to eliminate bike and pedestrian programs.”

Bucket Of Money

 

OK, back to TreeHugger for another go (no, I don’t make a general habit of commenting there but after a while, I get tired of seeing the “gimme hands” always out as if the Federal Government is just another name for Santa Claus or view it as a bottomless money pit simply ready for the bucket to go down and when it comes up, their pet project is funded.  Realization of the nations current fiscal status – pretty much either nil or determined obliviousness.

So, seeing yet another iteration of “get that free money for MY important project” gimme mentality, I could not help myself:

We’re $16 Trillion in the hole here, folks – when does the spending stop?  In reading this site, I keep seeing pleas to do with less – how about with less Federal spending.  If something is THAT important, why not persuade your local level of government to spring for these kinds of projects – after all, it benefits the local community.

And if they won’t, doesn’t that send a message?

Really, if something is that important to a local community, shouldn’t they be self-responsible for paying for their own needs (or wants)?  I have never understood the outlook of “hey, we want something – but let’s get somebody else to pay for it”.  Silly me; as I was growing up from childhood to adulthood, that had a name: selfishness.  But, this is today and that, seeming, was a more mature time.

Well, that was not well received by the Greenie Keynesians – after all, they can’t go green on their own dime, can they?

The Usual Suspects Fan Racial Fires

To the Editor:

Apparently there is another eye witness to the incident that ended with the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin.  Hopefully Cathy Merwin, who seems to know exactly what happened and how the case should be handled, has provided her information to the Florida state, Justice Department, FBI, and Special Prosecutor investigators.

Perhaps she also can explain what it is like to live in an area where there is so much fear of break-ins and harm to residents, that people, who would much rather be home in bed, are instead out alone trying to protect their neighbors.  And, perhaps she can explain what it is like in the dark of night to encounter an unknown person who is younger,  taller, more athletic, dressed in a way suggesting an attempt to hide his identify, and perhaps acts or speaks threateningly.

Regressives hate this energy-producing process

See the “oil pyramid” in the diagram below? Note the 800 billion barrels of “oil shale” reserves. But wait…how the heck do they get oil out of rock? Have you ever wondered exactly how “horizontal drilling” and “hydraulic fracking” is done? It’s a process making the U.S.A. the world’s biggest energy-producer…as in “Saudi Arabia won’t matter … Read more

California vs. New Hampshire…

New Hampshire wins, hands-down. This is part of a letter to the editor in today’s Wall Street Journal from California resident Ken Broad: “California is quickly becoming a fiscal death star.

Voter Fraud Efficacy

“It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.”  —Rep. Virgil Goode,  5th congressional district of Virginia: 1997 to 2009. 

NH Poll workers see dead peopleIt intrigues me that Project Veritas struck again on March 13 in Vermont, yet got very little face time in the national media. James O’Keefe and Project Veritas took a road trip to Vermont on March 13th and conducted a redux of the the New Hampshire investigation. Only this time they never took a ballot.  And true to form, the liberals acted as predicted: Calls to the attorney General for an investigation to see if any crimes were committed.

Project Veritas folks took this one step further, though. They went to bars and attempted to obtain alcohol without an ID; They attempted to get a civil union certificate without an ID. Both endeavors met with failure.

Ed Freeman: A True American Hero

You’re a 19 year old kid.
You’re critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .
It’s November 11, 1967.  LZ (landing zone) X-ray.

Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.

BE BREITBART: Update 6: Right To Know Request – IT/HR – Responses from the State of NH DES.

In our last post, we started to go over the first official response from NH’s Department of Environmental Services concerning the political blogging of Richard de Seve while on the taxpayer dime – a LOT of Lefty blogging from this staunch Democrat (sufficient enough to be a Delegate for Dennis Kucinich during his run in 2008 for President).  In our Right To Know we had several specific items to which DES had to respond, one way or another, and each was addressed (one way or another).

One way or another?  Well, if you remember, I singled out that word “responsive” in that last post; that will be discussed.  Not to stretch this out, but essentially, here are the possible outcomes:

  • The data just does not exist – either it was not captured, plain got lost, or deleted / trashed (based on time criteria) – “No data for you!” (to paraphrase the Seinfeld Soup Nazi)
  •  The data exists, but pertains to personnel matters, and thus are exempt from RSA 91-A requests – again, “No data for you!” (to paraphrase the Seinfeld Soup Nazi)
  • Data exists, but is beyond the scope of our request (i.e., we will not see all of Mr. de Seve’s emails; sure, we asked for emails, but worded such that we were interested only in those outbound of the State’s domain – and not DES work related) – “meh, so what; no biggie – we’re just not that much into you”
  • Data exists, it meets our time criteria (1/1/2005 to 3/12/2012) and fits our request – Ahhhhhh – responsive!

Help Save Rebecca Kleefisch!

I’m sure you know the story about the woman verbally abused by a talk radio host?    Wis. Lt Governor Rebecca Kleefisch under attack from the left

When lefty Wisconsin radio host John “Sly” Sylvester accused Kleefisch of performing “fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee” and sneered that she had “pulled a train” (a crude phrase for gang sex), feminists remained silent.

No?  Not familiar?  You never heard about the radio talk show host suggesting that the female Lt. Governor of Wisconsin was performing oral sex on scores of other radio talk show hosts or getting gang banged?  What was missing?
