GrokTV: Rochester City Council – “Rochester City Councilors, just say “NO!” to the Granite State Future plan for Rochester!

Granite State Future plan – that plan by which Federalizes (via “free money”) local zoning ordinances.  And if you haven’t looked or known, they can have a LARGE effect on how you live and where / how businesses can be run.

Sidenote: From a post a while ago on when EVIL uses of ordinances by a Utopian wishing to get their way by using Govt to achieve their aim:

There is a long standing animus between a business entity called the Ames Farm and a lawyer by the name of Stephen Nix here in my hamlet.   For years now, the latter has tried to shut down parts of the operation of this 120 year cottage / restaurant / boat launch resort by using a number of legal maneuvers.  In essence, he is trying to take away one of our basic Rights, that of Private Property, from this family so as to enhance the value of his property.  Gordon Gecko has no skin on this play!

Nix’s warrant failed, but not through his lack of trying.  Federal Departments (EPA, DOT, and HUD) are trying to do the same thing by dangling easy money in front of cash hungry politicians – like gold seekers, some of the latter will do what is necessary to get that honey pot regardless of what the “strings attached” may do to the Property Rights of the taxpayers (yet another tale of Washington taking local money and saying “You can have your own money back, but only if you behave in the way we want you to (after all, we have our own version of what Utopia is – and YOUR Individual version no longer counts)).  Well, those that attended this past Tuesday’s Rochester City want this program to fail as well.  Lots of folks spoke up:

Guest Post / Movie Review by Steve Patton – “2016”

Both Groksters Mike and Tom put up posts concerning the now out move “2016” – the stealth movie on Barack Obama (“who or what is he really?”).  ‘Grok friend, Steve Patton, went to see the movie today and offered to write a quick review of his thoughts:

I took my family to see Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016” at the Fox Run Mall, just one day after it’s release.  I can lay claim to being somewhat of a student of Barack Obama, having read his autobiography “Dreams From My Father” in 2008 as his election drew near.  I published a website (now only found on the Wayback Machine) of direct quotes from the book, hoping to dissuade my countrymen from electing this anti-American as their next president, alas to no avail.

Much of the material for the movie “2016” comes from the book “Dreams From My Father” and is heavily supplemented by extensive research done by D’Souza. The movie is engaging, and insightful.  My teenage children were equally interested in the content, sparking healthy conversations on the way home. Be forewarned, however, that the movie is not hopeful.  A nation foolish enough to elect Obama once may indeed be foolish enough to do it again.

The key insight of the movie is the identification of Obama’s core principles. The journey to discover those principles is as unsettling as it is illuminating.  The movie analyzes a number of confusing decisions by the President which highlight his true values even as they disorient most Americans and even traditional Democrats:

Spenders, Please Wake Up!

I just read the Merrimack Patch’s Letter to the Editor, and I must say that it’s disconcerting at best.  You can pretend all you want that we live in a land where we can spend, spend, spend and somebody else will pay without heartache.  But to me, that’s delusional and irresponsible.  That’s walking up to a child, knocking her off her bicycle, taking her ice cream, and then riding away pretending not to notice the upset cries as you careen down the street.  Well there are cries, and they’ll get louder.  $16,000,000,000,000 of debt will begin to level some serious cries and pretending that the Orwellian named “Affordable Care Act” is A. Affordable, and B. will actually provide care when you need it is, indeed, an act of delusional, irresponsible lunacy.

So, will the NH Democrat Party condemn their supporters vandalism and their calling others “FAGS”?

This just in from the Secretary of the Pemi-Baker Republicans – more H8 from Democrat (the Party of Total Totalitariansm Tolerance) supporters:

On 8/26/2012 12:48 PM, Secretary PBVRC wrote:

This morning I sent  this statement to the Record Enterprise

SUBJECT:    Republican Office Vandalized

STATEMENT from Ralph Larson, Chairman, Pemi-Baker Valley Republican Committee:

Some time during the black of night, on August 24th, our office sign at 47 Main St. Plymouth, was for the 4th time in recent years vandalized. Our signs have been handcrafted and donated by our members. The first 2 times the sign was stolen and recovered once. The replacement sign suffered minor damage after a major blow and now the immature element that exists in Plymouth has spray painted it with the word “FAGS’. Well guess what, we are not going to replace or repair the sign, as of now, but will leave it as is a visible reminder to those entering down town Plymouth from the South, of this probably minimal, but immature element of Plymouth’s population. The incident has been reported to Plymouth PD and if you have any information regarding it please report it to them at 536-1804.

Probably not an issue for NH Democrat Chair Ray “Hitler should have bombed it” Buckley at all.

Guest Post by Steve Patton – Please vote for Pat Abrami and Joanne Ward over “Barely a Republican” Tim Copeland

Note: Steve’s guest post did not label Tim Copeland “Barely a Republican”.   I did. ***** The NH state primary is fast approaching on Tuesday, September 11, 2012.  As this is the first primary conducted on the new state districts based on the US Census of 2010, there are notable opportunities for Republicans to strengthen their … Read more

Just a Theory…

I think Iran and Egypt are co-coordinating a response to the impending Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear capability.

The expectation is that Israel will do something before the November elections.  Egypt, which is now engaging in diplomatic exchanges with Iran, has recently moved more military hardware into the Sinai peninsula to deal with militants and security issues.  There are probably plenty of those, and by all accounts, Israel is not balking at allowing Egypt to deal with those (per long standing peace treaty agreements), but there is the matter of Egyptian tanks that were moved into the region, which Israeli officials claim they did not know about in advance.

GrokTV: Rochester City Council – How DARE you spend our tax monies subsidizing Obama’s campaign!

While Doris Hinks was after one thing that the Councilors had lost $78,000 at the Community Center, a lot of other folks were after them for spending a lot less money ($9,400)  but on a much higher profile event – President Obama’s campaign stop in Rochester where the City Council just said “no big deal – let’s spend the money” without going, seemingly, through the normal and formal process.  I don’t live there (or near there) but the impression I get is that it is very much a Democrat type town.  Thus, when the informal decision was “An honor – just make the in-kind contribution to the Obama Presidential campaign just like Obama does things as President: with other peoples’ money.

Problem is, lots of people had lots of problem in their elected leaders not being sensitive to the fact that folks don’t want their taxpayer money spent in supporting political campaigns – regardless of which party the pol is from!  Here’s two; more after the jump!

  

Omer Oullette                                                                 Norm Ellis

Not that Obama would pay the bill anyways – he’s stiffing town all over, even from 2008.  Romney, however, is doing the proper traditional American thing – paying for services received.

GrokTV: Rochester City Council – Pleading and venting

The last post – full out complaining that the Rochester (NH) City Council should not have subsidized the Obama Presidential campaign stop by expending taxpayer monies and not billing the Obama campaign (not that he’s bothering to pay – just that kind of guy, he is).  Here are more folks going after the City Council for the same thing, but at the same time asking them that the Councilors NOT sign onto the Federal mandates (EPA, DOT, HUD) of the Sustainable Communities Initiative known here in New Hampshire as the Granite State Future plan.

Jerry Delemus, head of the Rochester 9/12 Project (one of the most visible and well known of the Liberty& Freedom groups in the State):

A Lesson For New Hampshire From The University of Virginia

The University of Virginia has declined a campaign visit from Barack Obama, who is looking for a venue from which to promote his re-election bid for President of the United States.

GrokTV: Rochester City Council Public input on “Sustainable Communities Initiative”- Ken Eyring

Ken’s mission at the Rochester City Council meeting( as it sought Public Input on its signing onto the NH version of the Federal Government’s Sustainable Communities Initiative (“SCI”), also known locally as The Granite State Future Plan) was to start connecting the dots between all of the groups that are pushing, advocating, and agitating for the passage of the Granite State Future Plan (to supplant local control of zoning ordinances with those mandated by the Federal Govt’s HUD, EPA, and DOT).

To wit: the Conservation Law Foundation  (a partner in the Granite State Future Program) also runs the New Great Bay Coalition that is advocating for a new regional water treatment plant (which is going to cost Rochester mega buckeroonies) under the Water Sustainability Commission, whose final report will be incorporated into the Granite State Future Plan (Otherwise known as: a circular taxpayer firing squad hosted by NGOs and bureaucrats!).

Ken related a comment made during one of the Water Sustainability Commissions:

“Water and sewer rates are too cheap in the State” and at that point, a few of the Commissioners alluded to the Great Bay sewerage treatment project and chuckled that…

“The residents in those towns in that project would soon learn that  water and sewer is not cheap.”

He also brought up the fact that the Planner for Rochester, Kenn Ortmann, has a conflict; he  is also the Vice Chair of the NH Housing Finance Agency and has a fiduciary responsibility that supersedes that of his responsibility to the City of Rochester. Any further testimony by Ortmann needs to be challenged.

Data Point – Blue state or Red State – who is more charitable?

This is exactly what I thought it would be – the Redder, the more charitable.  Mix in the religious fervor in a state, and this chart was pretty much what I thought it should be.  For instance, New Hampshire voted for Obama in the last election – and was all Blue (Democrat, Left) in 2008.  … Read more

Obama’s Abortion Jobs Economy

Obama's Abortion Jobs Economy
When You Make A "Mistake"...We've Got You Covered

I think I have finally figured it out.  All this emphasis by Democrats on abortion?  I think we’re in for a tectonic shift in left wing economic policy.  Starting with the upcoming Democrat National Convention, the new savior for a lagging economy with 16 trillion in debt, employment erosion, a flagging GDP, and more government created debt bubbles (not to mention the trillions more in entitlement debt and the likley collapse of Medicare and social security) is…the Abortion Jobs Economy.

That’s right.  Abortion jobs will save America.

Conservatives for Obama? No, really….

I mean, I can at least see why maybe some conservatives may decide to vote for Gary Johnson, the national Libertarian Party’s Presidential candidate this year…. But then there’s Marty Begin, a   Nevada voter and “self-described conservative” quoted in today’s Wall Street Journal article about Mitt Romney. And…this guy says he’s going to vote for Obama. A “conservative”? Voting for Obama? I mean, helloooo…

GrokTV Special Interview: Sue DeLemus

I have known Sue for a few years now as a TEA Party / Rochester 9-12 Project member – and an utterly devoted person to her Bible, the US and NH Constitutions, and her guns (and her hubby, Jerry).  I guess that the Obama Administration and the NH Democrat Party would call her a bitter, clinger, extremist.  Me?  A Patriot!

A first time NH House Legislator this session (R-Rochester, Strafford 1), the ‘Grok caught up with her at last night’s Rochester City Council meeting (concerning Public Input on The Granite State Future Plan that is supporting the Obama Administration’s Sustainable Communities Initiative (spearheaded by the money carrots to change local zoning ordinance to suit the EPA, DOT, and EPA; listen to Grokster Tom as he speaks here).

I asked some questions of her – listen up!

She also testified in front of the Rochester City Council on both the Granite State Future Plan as well as the decision by the Rochester City Council to spend $9,400 to help underwrite the 2012 Presidential Campaign of Obama (after the jump):
