Three quarters worth of dropped balls can make for a close game and that was what the Patriots had yesterday against the New York Jets. You could call it an amplification of last weeks dropsies in Indianapolis as Patriot receivers let at least a dozen catches they should have made slip through their fingers. Missed first down caches killed rhythm and momentum. Missed Touchdowns kept the came closer than it needed to be and often left the Jets ahead.

While C. Robert Gibson is awaiting his trial here in NH for two felony counts of voter suppression I thought it would be a hoot to read up on his opinion of the way young Democrats vote. Carl is a prolific writer for left wing blogs. I suppose that is what pays the bills for his apartments on Center St. in Concord NH and 244 Lakeland Place, Madison Wis. where he was last arrested?

Here is his “Open Letter” to young Democrats – of which he is not one in NH.

At least she is being forthright in this case, if nowhere else.

I just wish that some of our Republican elected officials who are up for reelection would take note and follow suit. Then maybe this perennial idea—held by many elected Republicans–of “working across the aisle” will finally DIE. Just one example: in Kelly Ayotte’s new campaign ads she proudly touts the fact that she works with other Senators across the aisle to promote her bills supporting women’s health issues. Even as a woman, this isn’t a big deal for me. I don’t vote for any elected official to work with others across the aisle in order to get a women’s health care bill, or any bill for that matter, passed.

I vote for those individuals who best represent my ideals as a REPUBLICAN. That is it. My criteria does not include: the best person to make nicey-nicey and play well with others, or the person who can “move to the center”, or the person who can “compromise”.

That is not what Kelly Ayotte is demonstrating in her ads, though. Instead,

Carl was arrested in Dane County , Wisconsin on August 8, 2013 and thought it would be a groovy idea to post his arrest document (DEFENDANT’S COPY) on the internet.

Hooray for Carl!!!!

He just gave me his 2013 Kentucky Driver’s License #G02-716-568.

Many have already said this but it bears saying again: America is turning itself into a nation from one of being of self-starters, rugged individuals, willing to take risks, looking to the future, and self-responsible citizens to being victims that demand that others care for them.  Instead of picking one’s self up after getting knocked down, this victim class demands that Government exact retribution of their enemies be they real or imaginary.  Instead of logic and grounded evidence, arbitrarily “connected” dots, emotions, and Marxist inspired class warfare is employed.

In all cases, these victims make themselves helpless sheeple who exude helplessness and an inability to take care of themselves.  This brings smiles and joy to those that are naturally born wolves – quite happy to oblige these clueless ones of what they are doing to themselves as well as to society.  In the first, these wolves will eat them, as Franklin correctly observes – what natural predator cannot resist prey that simply goes belly up for some insignificant reason (especially imagined ones).  And as one can imagine, even more wolves have been created – after all, when there is a vacuum of courage, there will arise those that will stream in to fill it.

And yet we see THREE such Socialists running (again, counting the one already in the Oval Office) to rule this county that perports to be one where the Individual is supposed to be valued over Government.  Reformatted, emphasis mine:

“Beginning in the late nineteenth century, and especially after 1930 in the United States, the term liberalism came to be associated with a very different emphasis, particularly in economic policy. It came to be associated with a readiness to rely primarily on the state rather than on private voluntary arrangements to achieve objectives regarded as desirable.

During that same time period, we saw the rise of the Industrial Age – the Age of the Machine.  Also, we saw the rise of Socialism and Communism – a neo-view of a Monarchist / Royalty control of Society. No, no crowns, scepters, or flowing robes, but make no mistake, the end goal is the same – for The State must necessarily push Individuals aside and The State must necessarily be controlled by a few at the top of that State.

  The catchwords became welfare and equality rather than freedom.

After reading, and seeing confirmed, that Paul Ryan (candidate for US Speaker of the House) is an open borders advocate, this poem by Berthold Brecht pretty much says it all (emphasis mine)

After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers’ Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

(H/T: The Daily Brief)  The Brits have already tried this – and are declaring it a failure as they are losing their country.  We see this in Europe – and my jaw dropped when Germany’s Prime Minister, Angela Merkel, openly embraced the open borders immigration for her country with the Muslim invasion now hitting Europe with words “It will change Germany”.  Of COURSE

Juliette Kayyem, CNN’s national security analyst and former Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, is really, really upset that the U.S. does not have an Ambassador to Mexico during “our time of need” which, in her mind, is the arrival of Hurricane Patricia in Mexico.

Apparently, we are greatly disadvantaged by not having an Ambassador to “do the right thing”, because “helping other nations is the right thing to do”. So, following Kayyem’s logic, our proximity to Mexico and their subsequent (and almost assured) sufferings from the “strongest storm ever recorded” will impact us in extraordinary ways. We simply can’t respond adequately because we have no Ambassador to lead the way into our necessary intervention into Mexico’s meteorological problems.

Kayyem’s statements of “our time of need” and “so where Mexico goes, so do we” are intended to establish a link between–or maybe a fusion of?–our two countries by subtly erasing that nationalist idea of a border. She continues in that vein with the comment about “shared ideas, people, and industry across a border.”

The question is almost begged: why bother having a border at all, if we share everything, anyway?
