I was pondering the bubble of progressive thought–the things I do for you people. It’s a tiny bubble crowded with narrow-minded busybodies who need the force of government to get others to “believe” (this actually means forced compliance) what they believe.

It occurred to me that we could use a word to define these pseudo-intellectual leftists that can be used in polite company (see what I did there) and I came up with Intelleftuals. (Colleges, press rooms, big cities, the media, and DC are filled with them.)

The government can do nothing without first taking property from someone else. How much government should do cannot be separated from the problem of how much government must take. Who gets to decide what and “how much” is at the very heart of the divide between the left and the right.

Progressives always want the government to do more. There is, in fact, no end to what it should do, in their mind. Ask them where it ends. How much is enough? They have no answer. But government can do nothing without first taking property from someone else, and the rich make for a big target. A target that moves. Just ask Democrat Governor Dannel Malloy.

Democrat New Hampshire House Rep. Thomas Katsiantonis is charged with trying to cheat the state of New Hampshire by refusing to pay, what’s the term, “his fair share.”

(Girard at Large) As alleged in the complaints, Mr. Katsiantonis owned and operated both Grand Slam Pizza and Tommy K’s Restaurant and Bar. The theft charges allege that Mr. Katsiantonis, as owner and operator of Grand Slam Pizza, stole over $277,000 in monthly meals and rental tax payments from June 1, 2011, through December 31, 2016.

RENT-SEEKERS GOTTA SEEK RENTS: German carmakers fear losing competitive edge after U.S. Paris exit.

“The regrettable announcement by the USA makes it inevitable that Europe must facilitate a cost efficient and economically feasible climate policy to remain internationally competitive,” Matthias Wissmann, president of the German auto industry lobby group VDA, said in a statement on Friday.

“The preservation of our competitive position is the precondition for successful climate protection. This correlation is often underestimated,” Wissmann said, adding that the decision by the Unites States was disappointing.

The VDA said electricity and energy prices are already higher in Germany than in the United States, putting Germany at a disadvantage.

Now we know what the Paris Accords were really about — hampering U.S. industries to make Europe’s more competitive.

Heh!  Those that voluntarily have put chains upon themselves are TICKED OFF that we have refused to wear their chains!  Did they not know our history and our “up your’s” Scots / Irish attitude towards authority?  The Europeans have turned themselves into a not well run Collectivism but are unhappy that both the British and us have told them to stuff it?  And now they are all uppity and looking for retribution / revenge.  While many are screaming (or sobbing) over what we’ve done, at least one sector of Germany’s industrial might is going “Oh crap, we’re screwed – and we did it to ourselves”.  Yeah, that mandate for “responsible energy” is yet another set of chains, eh?

On Thursday, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted on a fetal homicide bill, Senate Bill 66 (SB 66), that seeks justice for unborn babies who are killed in a violent act. The unborn baby would apply to those who are viable, after 5 months of pregnancy, and the bill specifically states that pregnant mothers, abortion doctors or anything that results as an intentional termination of the pregnancy due to medical causes, are not part of this legislation.

In other words, if an unborn baby of a mother, who plans on birthing her child, is murdered or killed whether intentionally or unintentionally by another human being, the mother can seek justice for the death of her unborn child. Currently, if an unborn baby is murdered in the mother’s womb, there is no justice.

Yesterday the New Hampshire House passed SB 66, the Fetal Homicide Bill. Gov. Sununu is going to sign it. No, the legislation is not perfect. There are those who will point out rightly why we could have done better, and where the pitfalls lay. But for the sake of consistency on my part, I have to give my approval for two reasons.

From NHPR

New Hampshire’s Democratic congressional delegation has harshly criticized Republican President Donald Trump for withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate change accord.

They said the decision ignored the impact that climate is having on the Granite state and beyond and also cedes the leadership role on containing greenhouse gas emissions to other countries, including China.

Whenever the topic of useless, unproductive university social justice majors raises its angry little un-diverse head, my go-to parody is “Left Handed Albino Lesbian Studies.” It is both absurd sounding and obscure.

It makes no difference if there even are any left-handed albino lesbians because somewhere in the White Tower they would make space for a University chair with a high paying salary waiting for a credentialed expert in the discipline to write grant requests so that they might then produce meaningless, culturally destructive rubbish. They will just waste money, make the simple complex, confuse as many generations as we allow them to come into contact with, and spawn “intellectually destructive” offspring. Academics feeding on the brains of children at the expense of the productive class.

Robert Stacy McCain has found something in the real world to rival the absurdity of a professor or student of Left Handed Albino Lesbian Studies. Intersectional Quantum Physics.

“Yea, but lawyers told us we can’t.” That is the mantra from longtime Republicans in NH when you ask about stopping voter fraud. I have heard this for years.

I have been lied to and mislead by lawyers for 30 years. That is not unusual. But for people who claim they want their political party to win elections, it is a puzzling comment – or excuse for not wanting to get your hands dirty fighting progressives.

What is more puzzling is why, when the Constitution, numerous federal as well as state court cases are in your favor, Republicans take the fetal position of, let’s face it, “anonymous lawyers told you so.”
