At the start of yesterday morning’s program NH House Rep. Frank Edelblut shared a story with us about leadership editing the permanent House record.

They removed part of an opening prayer from the final record that included the phrase “the born and the unborn.” Praying for the born and unborn is, according to someone, a bit too controversial to leave in the historical record. My concern, and the point of our discussion was is that really something the people want the political leadership to control?

This is the opening quote of an excellent article by John Hawkins, at Townhall.com.

“I also now realize, with brutal clarity, that in the progressive hierarchy of identity groups, Muslims are above gays. Every pundit and politician — and that includes President Obama and Hillary Clinton and half the talking heads on TV — who today have said ‘We don’t know what the shooter’s motivation could possibly be!’ have revealed to me their true priorities: appeasing Muslims is more important than defending the lives of gay people. Every progressive who runs interference for Islamic murderers is complicit in those murders, and I can no longer be a part of that team.” — Anonymous at PJ Media

John goes on to point out the obvious contradictions and hypocrisy of the left but adds something of an explanation for the behavior.

Remember when the masculine of center gender queer (a college age girl who insisted on being addressed as a boy) got booted from the diversity office at a woman’s college for diversifying “himself” right out of the diversity movement? That can happen when you fool with mother nature. Well, something like that is happening again, at the last place on earth any sane parent should ever send their child for a college education. Mizzou.

A vigil Monday planned by several University of Missouri student organizations was supposed to honor victims of Sunday morning’s deadly shooting rampage in a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. It turned into a blame session against Mizzou’s LGBTQ community for not being intersectional enough.

Targeting Conservative and TEA Party style groups were stonewalled, derailed and otherwise afflicted by a politically weaponized Department of Internal Revenue led by the actions of Lois Lerner (who had done similar things while at the Federal Election Commission).  Up to 426 different groups filed up for tax exempt status and were spit on by US Government bureaucrats simply because these group dissented from the President’s Progressive values – ones that these bureaucrats heartily agreed with and supported. Koskinen was not at the helm when this started but was when hard disks started to mysteriously crash left and right far above what regular MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) stats would posit and mag tapes started to lose their magnetic bits’ magnetic orientation (“erasing the tapes”). That is against the law and was done over and over and the IRS lied repeatedly.  If you are the head of those that do this, you should take responsibility.  Not to mention the snark and contempt he held both us (the general public) and those elected to oversee his department (both House and Senate) during hearings.  He lied.

So what are the Big Campaign Speech’ d DC Republicans going to do?  Are they going to impeach him?

Seriously, you said yes?   HAHAHAHAHAHA – fools, we’re talking about the Republican Party which seemingly can’t outbox a pre-schooler lately…

Let’s start with this:

Kerrie Diers (Exec. Dir. of the Nashua (New Hampshire) Regional Planning Commission) doesn’t care much that your land gets in the way of her planning (for your own good as in “WHY do our perceptions of the needs of the Collective have to give way to what Individuals own?”):

• “Private Property Rights get in the way of good planning“
• “Private Property Rights won’t let us have the discussions“

In other words, YOUR Rights are getting in the way of THEIR agenda – they cannot let that happen.

Snippet 2 of this series touches on the friendship of Amis and Christopher Hitchens and the left’s penchant for breaking the truth.

During the mid-1970s I worked for the famous and historic and now perhaps obsolescent Labour weekly, the New Statesman (or the NEW STATESMAN, in its own house style). § My contemporaries there were Julian Barnes (novelist and critic), Christopher Hitchens (journalist, essayist, political man of letters), and James Fenton (journalist, critic, essayist and, above all, poet). Politically we broke down as follows. Julian was broadly Labour…. I was quietist and unaligned. Fenton and Hitchens, on the other hand, were proselytizing Trotskyists who (for instance) spent their Saturdays selling copies of the Socialist Worker on impoverished London high streets. “What do I call you if I write this piece?” I said to Christopher, on the phone to him in Washington, D.C. “Trotskyites or Trotskyists?” “Oh, Trotskyists. Only a Stalinist would have called us Trotskyites.” I laughed. I laughed indulgently. We talked on.

Hitchens and I used to argue about Communism in the corridors, sporadically, semi-seriously. The fascist novelist John Braine …  used to say to left-wingers: “Why do you love despotism? Why do you yearn for tyranny?”
