Metzler’s Doctrine of Progressive Educators (DOPE).

Deny there’s any problem.

Only admit there’s a problem when you get caught lying about it.

Limit or exclude any public participation. Threaten with police action or investigations. Avoid RTK requests by forming “special committees.”

Stonewall any information or right-to-know requests until there’s legal action.

Notable Quote – The nature of Coercion

Moreover, physical force in a man’s hand is an instrument of such brutal character that its very nature destroys or excludes the kindlier or better qualities of human nature. The man who compels his neighbor is not the man who reasons with and convinces him, who seeks to influence him by example, who rouses him … Read more

In Wake of Attacks Germans Want to Defend Themselves

Rapefugees

Germans, who have a “right” to as many refugees as the state can force on them, have discovered a desire for a different right. The right to self-defense.

Canada.com | Under Germany’s gun laws, only professional marksmen and registered hunters can obtain licences for handguns, but gas-powered air pistols – illegal in Britain – are readily available and can be bought without a licence.

Jorge Mesa-Tejada vs Hampstead big spenders (aka “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!”) – Part 1

Alinsky’s Rules for radicals: “RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Of all the stupidest reasons to “support” a $4.59 10 year million school bond issue, bringing in the notion that we have to build an expensive new building so a sniper can’t pick off kids as they walk the 20 feet from the portable classrooms (which have been there for YEARS) to the main building has to be leading the pack.  Yeah, that’s what you DIDN’T hear when WMUR ran their story (yes, the “journalists of record” can’t get the BIGGEST part of the story right).  What also wasn’t said is that the School Superintendent wants “more building” with a declining enrollment. You can listen to the ENTIRE Budget Committee meeting here for the entire context (not embeddable sorry).  And yes, you do need to listen starting around 38 minutes in and listen why people like Jorge are needed by taxpayers.  And then listen to the part that WMUR left out at 46:41NONE of his fellow budget committee members, when Jorge mentions what the School Board “infomercial” said got up in arms.  NONE of those in attendance raised an issue.

And here is what WMUR put up from that video – SEE how they “conveniently” leave out the reference to the School Board infomercial that led to this (again, not embeddable – cheapskates; NH1 has a post but I can’t get it to play)

You see, context matters (but not to WMUR).  And then these spouters of the stupidest reason of all go beserk when somebody has the temerity to MOCK them using their own argument and word choice?  How outlandish, how divisive, how violent, how UnPC!  Don’t you understand that WE have the moral high ground because SNIPERS!  Sheesh.  Morons, all.  And then watching WMUR last nite, well, they are now complicit in this.

Speaking of Jorge (the Budget Committee Chair in Hampstead)

Jorge Mesa-Tejada vs Hampstead big spenders (aka “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!”) – Part 2

New WMUR logoUPDATE: We have Jorge Mesa-Tejeda on GrokTALK! right now.  A smoking gun?  It looks like Josh Judge, weatherman with WMUR, did the voice over for Superintendent Earl Metzler’s informercial for the school bond.  Guess they may have some ‘splainin’ to do. And part of the pique that Earl Metzler may have is that both Hampstead and Sandown want to leave his “lovely fiefdom” – thus the retaliation against Jorge as he is against the increased spending for a declining enrollment.

********

Having watched the Hampstead Budget committee and being very curious as to why WMUR’s Kristen Carosa left out such an important piece of the story (er, the School Board’s infomercial for their $4.5 million dollar bond issue was the first mentioning a sniper picking off school kids).  Regular readers know that I do watch them and watch them with an eye to journalistic bias and their willingness to not always report “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”.  And truth be told, when it happens to one of my friends, well, I want to find that truth.

So, I just called WMUR.

Jorge Mesa-Tejada vs Hampstead big spenders (aka “IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!”) – Part 3

So, when Jorge Mesa-Tejada, Chair of the Hampstead Budget Committee, decided to mock the SAU 55 infomercial (we are trying to track that down – betcha the Earl of Metzler has yanked it), the Hampstead sychophant School Board under the royal decree of the Earl of Metzler

Sidenote: BTW, where DID Superintendent Earl Metzler get all that money for hiring professionals (like  Josh Judge, weatherman with WMUR) to do an infomercial touting a $4.5 million bond as well as the buttons, stickers, and assorted other materials?

issued a Press Release.  So I read it.  Well, golly, Earl, what was it that you and left out?

As you watch the GOP debate tonite keep this in mind

Conservative Treehouse gop-versus-tea-partyEspecially if you consider yourself being part of the “responsible, pragmatic” wing of the Party as you contemplate why, why, WHY your candidates are tanking; you have brought us upon yourselves:

Thanks to Donald Trump, American elites are finally paying attention to blue-collar, white America. They do not like what they see. Racist. Bigoted. Irrational. Angry. How many times have you read or heard one or more of these words used to describe Trump’s followers? Whether they are the academic, media, and entertainment elites of the Left or the political and business elites of the Right, America’s self-appointed best and brightest uniformly view the passions unleashed by Trump as the modern-day equivalent of a medieval peasants’ revolt. And, like their medieval forebears, they mean to crush it.

That effort is both a fool’s errand for the country and a poisoned chalice for conservatives and Republicans. It is foolish because the reasons the peasants are revolting will not fade easily. Ignoring and ridiculing their concerns, the way European elites have done with their own electorates for most of the last two decades, will simply intensify the masses’ rage and ensure that their political spokesmen become more intransigent and radical. If you want an American version of Marine Le Pen tomorrow, ignore the legitimate concerns of blue-collar Americans today.

What Medieval Warm Period?

2016-01-14-10-52-31

Erasing the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) is the mission of 21st century Climate Clerics because it ruins their thesis. The new narrative is that the MWP was the result of temperature readings in England, not around the world, but this is incorrect.

The graph above is (b)

(b) is based on temperatures in central England, the tree limit in the White Mountains of California, and oxygen isotope  measurements in the Greenland ice (W. Dansgaard of the Geophysical Isotope Laboratory, University of Copenhagen, pers. comm.), with the  temperature scale set by the variations in the last 100 years.

Notable Quote – Progressivism where the future is, well, only the past

For those of us who love comedy, one of the most delightful ironies of progressivism is how regressive it is, how mired in the past. While conservatives gather to discuss fresh reformist ideas on how to fight poverty and keep a free society afloat, all progressives ever do is reach into their Magic Box of Tomorrow and draw out the same sclerotic socialism … Read more

Climate Scientist Daniel Alongi indicted for Fraud

Climate Scientist Daniel Alongi has been indicted by Australian authorities, and accused of falsifying half a million dollars worth of expenses. … There is no suggestion at this stage that Alongi produced fake results for research papers, but in my opinion this has to be considered a possibility, if the charges against Alongi are upheld. After all, if … Read more
