A few Quick Points on a Monday Morning..

About that Debate?  Obama loses no matter what happens. An observation about Hillary taking responsibility for Benghazi….I bet Obama promised to nominate her to the Supreme Court in exchange if he is re-elected. (The only other thing I believe a Clinton covets more than being President.) And my spies are deployed to check the state … Read more

GrokTV: NRA President David Keene at the Londonderry Fish & Game – Part 3

Once the stump speeches by Ovide Lamontagne, Frank Guinta, and Charlie Bass were over, David Keene, President of the NRA, again took up the mic to give his closing remarks to the membership.  Drew Beamer, NH NRA Field Campaign Representative, then closed out the brief program, asking the assembled NRA members to take action.

 Given that President Obama “let the mask slip” concerning implementing new gun control on the nation (an issue in which he has ALWAYS voted for more restrictions rather than for more freedom, showing his distrust of lawful citizens without affecting the actions of criminals)…:

Guest Post: Mike Johnson – “New Hampshire, Tear Down This Firewall”

New Hampshire, Tear Down This Firewall

You have a choice, New Hampshire, an important choice, a life-style choice.

Like our motto says, you can “Live Free or Die,” a free self-reliant citizen of New Hampshire, proud of yourself and proud of your state and your country.  Or you can “Live Dependent and Die,” withering away as a slave of the Nanny State, subject to the government and an apologist for yourself, your state, and your country.

It is your option, but recognize that it may be your last choice.  The United States of America is dangerously close to the point where a majority of the voters are vassals of the state, reduced to relying on the largesse of the government for their livelihood, and economically forced to vote for the continuance of the Nanny State.  As Mark Steyn puts it, “This election represents the last exit ramp before the death spiral.”

Disagree? Consider Obama’s record:

“One of the reasons why I am in favor of less government, is because when you have more government industrialists take it over and the two together form a coalition against the ordinary worker and the ordinary consumer” Milton Freidman

Don’t Think The Debt Matters, Think Again

We’re $16,000,000,000,000 in debt. Don’t think it matters?  Consider this: who owns the debt, and what is going to happen when they collect?  How are government programs going to remain funded when interest payments on the debt begins to siphon off those funds into coffers of the bondholders?  Ask yourself this question again after you’ve contemplated the return to the historical average interest rate and not the artificial rate we’ve been basking in.  “...from 1971 until 2012, the United States Interest Rate averaged 6.2 Percent…”,  but we’ve been enjoying rates less than 3% for what seems like five years.  The government borrows 40% of every dollar it spends in your name.  Imagine how great the interest payments will be on that borrowed money when we return to the historical average?  Think the interest rates will remain this low?

Permanence is fleeting.

GrokWatch: So, has AutoServ of Tilton added a new line of cars: “Politicized”??? And what else are those cars being used for?

AutoServ of Tilton - Phone NumberThere are two folks running in NH State Senate District 7 in which I reside: Republican Josh Youssef  and Democrat Andrew Hosmer.  We did endorse Josh in the Primary and believe him to be a better candidate still than Hosmer – a Progressive big-taxer centralizing-power Democrat.

While Josh is an entrepreneur, Hosmer married into the family that owns AutoServ – and is the General Manager there.  Well, I got a call last night.  Actually and to be truthful, TMEW got the call – she beat me to the phone so she had the opportunity to be the confused one – her brow furrowed.

“Who?”, she said.  “Brittney Murphy?  Are you sure….no, there is no Brittney that live here…..yes, I will be voting in the upcoming election.  Um, no, I will not be voting for Andrew Hosmer…g’nite.”

“Skip, would you look at this number, please?”

So, Dems in Belknap county, that would mean that you will spend a lot, ignore the Constitution, and grow Govt? AGAIN?

2012 House Belknap 2 Dems - Front‘Tis the season of political surveys coming in on the phone.  Today, I think I got five, and a whole bunch of hangups which I take to be auto-dials by such companies looking for folks to call later or that with “predictive dialing”, there wasn’t an agent ready when “it” thought there would be when it dialed the number.  It is also the time for “mailers”; candidates trying to sell their message like these four Democrat ProRegressives: Kate Miller, Bill Johnson, Sandy Mucci, and MY fav Lisa DiMartino (she of the “my house is in the flight path – there might be a crash” fame.  More on that later).

They are running as a team.  That’s fine – my pick are the four Conservatives (that happen to be running on the Republican ticket) Colette Worseman, Herb Vadney, Bob Greemore, and my personal friend Kevin Leandro.

Back to the Dems – remember, the electorate (that would be you, the voters) decided that the Democrats were the extremists in 2010 – and told them emphatically that their social issue voting and their absolutely crazy spending were no longer to be tolerated.  So, what did these qwazy quad send as a message?  That would be on the flip side of the card:
