VP Biden shows Obama’s Disregard for our Country

One wonders how much the American people must suffer or how great a disaster must happen to our country before Vice-President Biden will discuss these topics seriously.  In Thursday’s debate Vice President Biden acted more like a candidate for class clown than a man concerned about his country. 

One wonders, if 23 million Americans who can’t find the work they need to care for their families aren’t enough to get Vice-President Biden’s attention, how many have to suffer?  50,000,000?  75,000,000? 

If nearly 50,000,000 people in poverty is not enough for Vice-President Biden to discuss real solutions, how many poor must there be?  75,000,000?  100,000,000?

Nothing To Run On So Shea-Porter Makes Stuff Up?

The Guinta campaign is calling out the Shea-Porter campaign (I’ll call them Team Lenin), for continuing to run ads about her opponent that are not just fuzzy on the edges but outright distortions or lies.  I’ve not seen the ads, a side effect of not watching television–which I highly recommend by the way–but I know … Read more

Earthquake (Updated)

Update: Measured at 4.6, centered 5km west of Hollis Center Maine. Big one too for around here, lasted for several seconds, rattling the china.  Facebook lit up like a Christmas tree from Mass to many points in NH. We’ll come back to this as we learn more.  

The Laundry Bill Comes Due (Bumped)

RGGI Map[Bumped: Given that Maggie Hassan is so proud to have sponsored this tax, I figured I’d revisit this post from September 30th]

Originally posted September 30th

The New Hampshire Sunday News has delivered what can only be called the dropping of the other boot on our necks.  I am referring to the impending rate hike by PSNH for state government mandates, including New Hampshire’s participation in the Region Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and the NH Renewable Portfolio Standard.

While rates have crept up for years this is the first real admission (I believe) by a local energy provider, that the time has come to deal with costs driven by the New Hampshire Democrat Parties war on cheap energy.  As a result the average rate payer will see their annual bill go up about 50.00 a year, with commercial and government customers paying significantly more, costs that will find their way into your tax bills and the cost of all goods and services, right when you need them the least.

Note From Julianna Smoot – Deputy Campaign Manager – Obama For America [Updated]

Update: Politico is now reporting on this – ‘Obama Camp uses Guilt In Fundraiser Email.’ (Me: What’s next, Calling them racists if they don’t donate?) Original post I recently received this email from Obama for America Steve — According to our records associated with this email address — hopefully it’s yours if you’re reading this! … Read more

How To Be Wrong ‘By Barack Obama’

CNS News reports that the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, using data provided by Obama’s own Office of Management and Budget (OMB), announced today that taxpayers will lose 24 billion on the various Federal Bailouts. Meanwhile, over in ObamaLand, the president is telling whomever will listen that… “We got back every dime we used to … Read more

Piffile! Tim, here’s a BETTER way!

To let speeding scofflaws learn the meaning of the phrase “long arm of the Law”, ya need one of these, Tim! That’s right – a Boeing 747 equipped with its very own Eye Of Sauron nose cone laser! Unlike that itty bitty whirlybird, folks screaming on the roads will never, ever see this coming (or … Read more

Clinton Takes One for The One – Benghazi Her Responsibility.

Against all likelihood, Hillary Clinton is taking responsibility for Benghazi.  I know, who’d have thought? Right now the narrative is to ply the theme that this should not be politicized which is utter rubbish.  In the Democrat world everything is political.  Everything you opponent does matters. And Obama is still responsible for his people.  He … Read more

Hassan Couldn’t Balance a Meal – Let Alone a Budget

Responding to false claims by the Hassan campaign that she ‘balanced budgets,’ we get this ad which points out that any Democrat can offset all their reckless spending if they just raise enough taxes.  Of course Maggie didn’t even manage that.  Without one time Federal bailout money she’d have had to raise another 800 million … Read more

Global Warming Still a Hoax

Missed global warming targets - its not getting warmer
Missed global warming target - "it's not actually getting warmer"

How much warmer has the world become since a) 1880 and  b) the beginning of 1997?

The answer to a) 0.75C
The answer to b) zero.

How much has wacky left wing energy policy based on this ridiculous idea cost us?  Enough to buy the world a coke and keep it company several hundred times over.  Include the global costs of compliance, regulation, loss of productivity and global GDP, dollars diverted to bankrupt green-energy projects, and energy inflation, and the whole-scale abandonment of cheap reliable energy has probably cost the world trillions.

But hey, we wasted that money and accumulated all the debt to help developing nations and our children…to..uh…remain developing nations and to inherit Anthropogenic  Massive Debt.   Which is why recent temperature data was released quietly with little to no media fanfare–they needed a few extra days to work on their narrative.

“Thanks, doc….”

A little guy's thank you for the gift of life....

What are you looking at immediately above? It is a picture of a womb holding a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon Joseph Bruner at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother’s womb. Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta who knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure where he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor…

Mitt Romney and The 57.9%

Democrats want to tax you so that they can then engage in state managed, centrally planned, charity.   Conservatives, Libertarians, and some Republicans object to this for more reasons than I can enumerate here but here is one example worth considering…

As the coercive power of the state will alone decide who is to have what, the only power worth having will be a share in the exercise of this directing power. There will be no economic or social questions that would not be political questions in the sense that their solution will depend exclusively on who wields the coercive power, on whose are the views that will prevail on all occasions.

-F. A. Hayek

Democrats want the government to decide.  And once they start, there is little that will not eventually fall under the gaze and control of the state.   And so, they feel very comfortable engaging in class warfare rhetoric to correct this problem, because taxes–to them–are the benchmark of other peoples charity (except their own, of course).   And they “do not approve,”  can not approve, of people engaging in charity the state does not control becasue most Americans give based on a set of values that Democrats do not share.

Notable Quote: Max Eastman (Socialism Doesn’t Jibe with Human Nature)

“It seems obvious to me now–though I have been slow, I must say, in coming to the conclusion–that the institution of private property is one of the main things that have given man that limited amount of free-and-equalness that Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution.  Strangely enough, Marx was the first to … Read more

Maggie Hassan Proud to be a Sponsor of That Tax

Maggie Hassan keeps saying we need to have a conversation about taxes.  We have them all the time.  The difference is that Democrats talk about raising them (hundreds of them), and Republicans talk about controlling or lowering them.  And then there are the conversations about taxes that slip out when you are least expecting them to.

We get just such an example from the September 19th Gubernatorial debate on business and the economy; when asked about RGGI, the Regional Greenhouse Gas initiative, Candidate Hassan said this…

I was proud to be a sponsor of that tax, eh, the energy efficiency program because it has saved businesses millions and millions of dollars and created over 400 jobs.

That’s a notable quote right there.
