Notable Quote: Paul Rahe – “Obama’s Tyrannical Ambition”

It is easy enough to see why progressive doctrine should be attractive to our masters. Tyrannical ambition is nothing new, and throughout human history it has nearly always presented itself to men in the guise of idealism. We are all inclined to meddle in other people’s business; we are all inclined to think that we … Read more

CPAC: Chair, National Organization for Marriage, John Eastman

He reads some of the explicit testimony from Prop 8 proponents in how achieving gay marriage will radically change the institution of marriage to simply being a sexual choice between adults. Kids?  Not so much…. (H/T:  The Corner)

“Mr. America, look what you’ve done – You’ve traded your liberty and sovereignty for lies and promises”

Steven Crowder is at it again – from CPAC:

(H/T: )

Lyrics:

Yeah, lookin’ at the country, It’s not what I intended
Gotta start to make a change, Before you’re a Neverending
Story of a failed nation run straight out of luck
Like a million Tyler Perry Movies
Uh, you suck

All you little haves lots you’re still selfish and want more
Votin’ in your own self- interests now instead of the core
Principles that made this country both honest and true
Free to speak, worship, pursuit of your happiness too

Palin Rocks CPAC

No one speaks to the base like Sarah Palin does, so I’ll stop typing and let her start talking.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXsrajvFGk8&feature=player_embedded

The Obligatory “.45 ACP beats laptop / Facebook”

What parent hasn’t been so upset with their spoiled brat of a whelp that they didn’t want to do something like this?  And the guy is right – ya don’t try to do this with an IT dude for a Dad.  The only thing better would have been to have heard the screams of potty-mouth ungrateful offspring when she started to hear from her friends of what they had just seen.

(H/T: The Blaze)

You go, Dad!  Full transcript after the jump.

Guest Post: Chris Crawford – “This mandate is an assault on religious liberty”

Chris Crawford is the Chair of the NH Conservative Future PAC:

Those who support the new Health and Human Services contraception mandate have largely stated that they hold their opinion because they are not a person of faith or because they disagree with the Church’s teachings on contraceptives. As a sophomore at an extremely secular college, I understand both of these arguments. However, both of the arguments miss the larger point: This mandate is an assault on religious liberty. If religious liberty can be assaulted from one side, it can be attacked from the other side as well.

If the economy is getting better…(Part 6)

Children in poverty Rising under Obama
Full size graph on the jump

…then why has the number of children living in poverty in America risen for four years in a row?

Isn’t it all about the children?  It is.  And in a startling bit of irony, according to the Foundation for Child Development at least, the number of children living with families at or below the poverty line, has risen about 4-5% since the year of Obama, to around 21%.  The irony is that 20% is equal to the number of American families on the Obama Plantation who are trying to live on some kind of government support.

It hasn’t been this high since 1992/93.

So if the economy is getting better, why are so many people still being forced into government assistance programs, and how can pro-government Democrats continue to insist that these programs do anything but entrench people in poverty?

Better implies moving towards a desired goal.  Are they trying to suggest that this is the kind of economy they were waiting for?

Data Point – how is US Manufacturing really doing?

US Manufacturing After Tax Profits“1. U.S. manufacturing corporations are on track to earn record profits in 2011, of about $600 billion based on data available from the U.S. Census through the third quarter (see chart above). That’s an increase of 22 percent from 2010, and more than four times the 4.8 percent increase in profits for all U.S. corporations in 2011. It’s also double the $300 billion of manufacturing profits in 2009 and almost 15 percent higher than the previous record of $525 billion in 2006.

No room for small business to grow on the Obama Plantation
No room for small business to grow on the Obama Plantation

…then why has the number of self-employed Americans fallen by more than 2 million?

It’s one thing to say you support small business, but Democrats attaching the word jobs, small-business, or main-street to every bill that comes out of congress doesn’t make it happen.  But after 2008 every press release about every vote manged to shoe-horn in some BS about how that vote would help put Americans back to work.  Really?

Gambling? Seriously?

Will Republians roll the dice on Gambling in New HampshireThe success of any move to add Casinos to New Hampshire will hinge on the Libertarian Republicans currently crowding the House and their ability to override a likely Lynch veto.  While I am on their side in almost every other case, when it comes to casinos we part ways, and not for the reasons you might think.

This is not an issue of social conservatism for me, not exactly, not the way it is a social issue for some Democrats like Governor John Lynch or the left wing social justice cabal at the New Hampshire Council of Communist Churches (NHCcC).   I see this as a matter of personal restraint, not because I object to people gambling, but because I am willing to pay a personal price, and forgo the risk of casino revenue, to ensure the liberty and freedom that I am convinced a casino culture in the halls of the State House would inevitably destroy.

Cilley Jackie Enters The Governor’s Race

“The problem with political jokes is they get elected.”—Henry Cate

MANCHESTER — Former District 6 Democrat state Senator Jackie Cilley has thrown her hat into the gubernatorial ring for the Granite State’s Corner Office. Joining Maggie “the Marxist” Hassan, she seeks to replace Governor John “Lefty” Lynch who will not seek another term. “Silly” Jackie came to the Manchester YWCA to make her pitch yesterday rolling out the same old tired liberal screed often heard before.   The Union Leader’s Beth LaMontagne-Hall reports, Cilley pledged to, “ensure quality education for all students, protect the environment, fight right-to-work legislation and keep same-sex marriage on the books in New Hampshire.

Sen. Ayotte thinks she’s helping. She’s not.

The federal government is spending over a trillion dollars into debt every year—a trillion dollar deficit every year!—and Sen. Ayotte wants more federal money spent on a “job corps center” in Manchester…just without the unions getting their place at the trough. She misses the point: The “job corps center” shouldn’t be built at all. We … Read more
