The latest Third-Way echo-chamber is back in the news thanks to some Presidential candidates who are playing along with their scheme.

No Labels, formed after the 2010 midterm elections, is asking candidates to embrace four broad goals related to job creation, the federal budget, energy independence and entitlements, promote them in the campaign and promise to work with a bipartisan group in Congress on at least one of them within 30 days of taking office.

No Labels was a progressive reaction to the TEA Party movement. The TEA Party message was Taxed Enough Already. Don’t take over health care. Stop the spending. And how about less government spending, and by extension less government interference. No Labels came to the defense of big government, soft-selling it under the cover of calming, can’t-we-all-just-get-along, Third Way language. And Republicans continue to give it legitimacy.

Emphasis mine:

“Obama stressed the need for executive gun control as a way to lessen “mass violence” in America, and he coupled the emphasis on “mass violence” with a need to expand background checks–as if doing the latter will reduce the former.

But Limbaugh was not fooled, and he pointed out five things Obama’s gun controls will not stop:

1. Obama’s executive gun controls will not stop the “mass violence” he railed against. Limbaugh pointed to comments made during the town hall to prove this, saying:

[Obama] admitted [the executive gun control] solves no problems, and he agreed and admitted with everybody who pointed out that every executive action he is talking about implementing would not have stopped any of these recent attacks. And he admits that, too. He admits that his executive actions on guns would not stop terrorism, that they wouldn’t stop the shootings in Chicago.

This may get interesting – the master of the media and celebrityhood vs the number one debater: Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.  Certainly, anyone that catches The Donald’s ire and has tried to fire back has dropped in the polls like the proverbial lead balloon (seeing that none of them have the Mythbuster’s lead balloon that actually floated).  Now that Ted has caught and surpassed him in Iowa (mostly, during the last month), the Trump cross-hairs were re-focused and the onslaught began.  Up to now, Ted’s been fairly lighthearted with his comebacks; this one get a wee bit deeper in the calling out of Cruz’s birth circumstances (born of an American mother in Calgary, Canada):

(CRUZ): I will say that it’s more than a little strange to see Donald relying on as authoritative a liberal, left-wing, judicial activist Harvard Law professor who is a huge Hillary supporter (Ed. note – Laurence Tribe). It starts to make you think, “Gosh, why are some of Hillary’s strongest supporters backing Trump?” You know, the last couple of elections the Democrats have gotten the nominee they wanted to run against in the general election. It seems the Hillary folks are very eager to support Donald Trump and the attacks that are being tossed my direction.

“The NH Progressive has the unique habit of cursing New Hampshire while they enjoy the quality of life directly attributable to its population and culture.”

Recently I happened upon a delightful opinion piece in one of the local daily papers that epitomizes the mindset of that particular virulent form of Leftist called the ‘New Hampshire Progressive’. This article is replete with the holy trinity of Progressivism; anti-gun, anti-Christian and anti-white. It serves as an excellent example of what I term ‘progressive porn’ which has unfortunately become more and more pervasive in the NH media as of late. It also contains the typical mudslinging and unsubstantiated allegations that one has come to expect from the extremist Left in our country. However the article exhibits something more, it reveals the ugly face of the ‘New Hampshire Progressive’. This letter is blatantly defamatory toward white Christian males painting them as the central cause of mass incidents of gun violence. Strangely enough the author happens to live in a predominantly white, Christian and overwhelmingly Pro-Second Amendment state. I can only imagine the burden she must be enduring to live in such a hell on earth.

Behold the words of the New Hampshire Progressive in all its glory;

Thank you, President Obama for your bold move through executive orders to try to put some sanity into our gun laws. As we have heard from every president in recent history, Republican and Democrat alike, a president’s most important role as chief executive is to secure the safety and well-being of the citizens of this country. You have just taken a step in that direction. It is time for Congress to act by backing and going beyond what you have initiated.

Trump was brought up in wealth and has lived his entire lifetime in wealth. There’s nothing wrong with that. His Father worked hard; he worked hard and now his kids work hard. They are indeed part of the ‘evil 1%.’

But many of his supporters seem to think he is just a ‘Regular Joe’ when he’s not.

The Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed Dr. Rand Paul for President.

The RLC is a national, “voluntary grassroots membership organization dedicated to working within the Republican Party to advance the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets.  Founded in 1991, it is the oldest continuously-operating organization within the Liberty Republican movement.”

The RLC mission is to “return the Republican Party to its ideological roots of limited government, free enterprise and personal liberty and responsibility.”

Senator Paul is the natural pick for this organization’s endorsement, given his

This is funny as all get out! Earlier this First In The Nation Primary season, the Democrat National Committee kicked WMUR to the curb over the inability of the Hearst Corporation (owners of WMUR) to come to terms with their unions.  UL, batter up?  Nope – yer OUTTA there!

ABC dumps Union Leader; Trump claims credit

MANCHESTER — Donald Trump immediately took credit for getting the New Hampshire Union Leader dropped from an upcoming Republican debate being produced in partnership with ABC News, drawing condemnation from the paper’s publisher. “I am pleased to announce that I had the Union Leader removed from the upcoming debate,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon, minutes after the newspaper was told by an ABC News executive they were going to “split ways.”

The debate, scheduled for Feb. 6 from the campus of St. Anselm College, is the only time Republicans will meet head-to-head in the Granite State.
