Foreclosures in New Hampshire are steadily trending downward
Steadily Trending Downward In New Hampshire

Fosters Daily Democrat (Fosters.com) is reporting some encouraging news on New Hampshire home foreclosures…

The cumulative total through the first half of the year — 2,029 foreclosure deeds — is about 3 percent below the same period in 2011, when there were 2,100, and 7 percent below the same period in 2010, when there were 2,188.

…”Barring disruptions in the economic recovery, there is reason to believe the number of new foreclosures in New Hampshire will continue to decline,” said the authority.

Notable Quotes: Henry C. Alford (President & CEO -National Black Chamber of Commerce)

Harry C Alford - National Black Chamber of Commerce
Harry C Alford - National Black Chamber of Commerce

“When Obama became president, we were all happy about the symbolism–America’s first black president.  We didn’t really care about his position or views on anything.  We just wanted a black president no matter what.  We should have been more careful, as his views on small business, especially black business, are counter to ours.

“His view of business is that it should be a few major corporations which are totally unionized and working with the government, which should also be massive and reaching every level of American Society.  Thus, his first Executive Order was the reinstatement of Project Labor Agreements in government contracting.

A Jail Sentence For Drinking Water

“All oppression creates a state of war.”  —Simone de Beauvoir

Gary Harrington Goes to Jail for Collecting Rain Water

On Wednesday, July 25 Skip featured a Guest Post from Ken Eyring. The central thesis of Mr. Eyring’s post was that the NH Water Sustainability Commission gave a low-profile public notice seeking input from the public regarding management of  Granite State water resources over the next 25 year period.

On Sunday July 29, Skip followed up with a response from House Democrat Representative Judith Spang  to Ken Eyring. As shown, Spang made several, “The state owns the water, not you,” implied assertions.”

It’s About Character…Or in This Case, the Lack Thereof…

Just talked about this Yesterday…and I’ve been asking pointed questions for weeks (years?) about the fatal character flaws of Democrats who ignore the hate and violence in their own party that they would never tolerate from anyone else.  It is hypocritical.  And it is a cultural feature of the politics of the left that shows … Read more

Surveys – a candidate’s conundrum (in some areas)

As a first-time candidate for elective office, I’m amazed at the number of surveys I’ve been sent by a whole bunch of different organizations wanting to know what I think about this or that and, depending upon how I think about this or that, they may or may not endorse me, send me money or “inform their members’ of my beliefs.  Some are obvious crackpots, most seem legitimate. I’ve answered those from organizations I believe to be serious and simply filed the ones I don’t.  But yesterday, I got one that, as a friend of mine would say, made me “throw up a little in my mouth”.  Allow me to share some just a couple of the questions (and my thoughts) with you:

3) Do you support the right of a minor woman to obtain abortion services without her parents’ consent, notification, or a court or agency order?

At last glance, NH law states that young people under the age of 18 cannot get married without their parents’ permission nor can they legally consent to having sex. If I…

From Top To Bottom The Democrat Party Lacks Principles

The blatant double standards exercised by Democrats is regard to what is outrageous becomes clearer every day.  Here in New Hampshire, spewing hate-speech and laughing at inferred acts of violence are pushed aside when we know that were it the Republicans making ‘off-hand’ remarks of a similar nature, the left would never let it go…. it would be an example of the underlying hate they hold for (insert name here), and would disqualify them for office….and yet not one Democrat has the honor to stand up and say as much when it’s them.

And at the national level the Obama Super PAC has called Mr. Romney many things and most recently a murderer.  But like everything else wrong with the Democrat party, from the violence to the slurs, to the racism, none of them, at least in New Hampshire, has the ‘teabag’ to admit that this is just as wrong as if Republican’s had done it.

The Nashua Republican City Committee (NRCC) is at it again, with their annual “Steak Out” dinner/fundraiser planned for Saturday, August 25, 2012.

This year, they are hosting former meteorologist and science reporter, now conservative talk radio host and author, Brian Sussman.

Pot Calling The Kettle Black?

Yesterday I reported on a the efforts of NH Right to life (NHRTL) to challenge the legality of Planned (non) Parenthood’s (PP) pharmacy licenses now that they are no longer receiving funding directly from New Hampshire Taxpayers for preventing families.  (see Will Planned Parenthood in NH Lose its Pharmacist Licenses). NHRTL claims that the exemption PP receives is only valid when state funding is present from NH Health and Human Services.  Since they claim state funding is not, they say the exemption no longer applies.

Well, over at RH Reality Check, (Reproductive & Sexual Health and Justice) Robin Marty covers the story with the headline…New Hampshire Right to Life Falsely Attacks Planned Parenthood.  Is she right?

Mitt Romney made a gaffe: He told the truth.

The Lamestream Media liars were stumbling all over themselves last week to convince everyone—perhaps even themselves—that Romney had committed a terrible gaffe! in Israel! Turns out he made the unexceptionable observation…

A Community Organizer? In Paris? Naturally.

Sometimes the New York Times delivers.  I’m not a fan of the New York Times, but I do occasionally peruse its site for interesting tidbits.  Although, most of the time while doing so I find myself reflecting back to the actual usefulness of its well-absorbent newspaper edition (being a dog lover, it came in handy when we had pups), tonight its digital version made me smile.

In reference to hearing about the 75% income tax proposal from their newly hired Socialist French president, things like this echoed through streets of Paris:

“Should I be preparing to leave the country?”

Candidate Says What?

Confused

I saw a message on Facebook this week, for a fellow running for State Representative in my hometown of Milford.  I’ve known Andy Seale for a few years, had beers once or twice after political events, nice guy, Scout leader, active Republican, engaged Milford GOP chair.

I also found out, just a few weeks ago, that he’s a member of the Nashua Regional Planning Commission Executive Committee (Treasurer).

Now, if you know me, or have been following GraniteGrok recently, you’ll know that there’s a growing movement against the RPCs and their nefarious ways, due to their tendency of following methodologies that aim to impede individual liberties, through ever-increasing restrictions on private property, under the unconstitutional, watchful eye (and bankroll) of the federal government.  A lot has been written lately about this subject (here) (here) (here) (here), and MUCH more will be written in the coming weeks and months (please stay tuned to this channel).

I have one, simple question for Andy:

Obama Is A Murderer [Updated]

He is.  He even has a kill list.  They bragged about it.  Foreign terrorists have constitutional rights but killing American Citizens without a trial is not above Mr. Obama.  Yes, the Peace Prize winner has a kill list.  And he is using it. Meanwhile, that Obama Super PAC Ad about how Romney “Murdered” a Steel … Read more

Guest Post: Frank Szabo For Sheriff Of Hillsborough County

   NO SUCH THING AS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

Frank Szabo is running for Sheriff of Hillsborough County.

“Constitutional Rights” is a fiction and misleading.  Our Rights are Natural Rights and are unalienable.  The Constitution is a document which defines the government.  It is a document of creation and it is a strict limit on the powers and authority of government.  It does not limit Citizens.  The Rights of Citizens specifically enumerated for protection in the Constitution were those deemed most important for the continuance ofLibertyand Freedom.  It was not a complete list, nor could it be.

Our government was created by the people, for the people.  After the American Revolution, the Citizens became the sovereigns.  As Sovereign Citizens, We The People created local and state governments to ensure peace and prosperity.  The state governments then created the federal government to further ensure those goals.  Nowhere in the formation documents (constitution) is there authority for the creature to direct – or control – its master.  Also, the federal government was never intended to have any direct contact with Citizens.
