Bloomberg has a report online listing income inequality by Congressional District. Guess which party, based on this report, dominates the top spots for income inequality in the US?

Of the top 35 congressional districts with the most income inequality, 33 of them are seats held by Democrats. And not just any newly-elected left-wing back-benchers. We’re talking top-of-the line narrative spewing, members of party leadership. People who have had years to effect positive change in their districts but have failed to deliver on their rhetoric.

I have listened to The Captain for years – it seems like when he first made the transition to radio.  But he has always been a newspaper guy and his column in the Boston Herald is one I look forward to.  This week’s was fun – a take off on the “If you…..you’re a redneck”.  Instead, a liberal:

• You may be a liberal if you believe that allowing working people to keep a few more of the dollars they earned themselves is a “boondoggle” and a “gimmick.”
• You may be a Massachusetts liberal if you think that the annual sales tax holiday weekend “diverts” money from “education,” by which you mean teachers unions, and from “the MBTA,” by which you mean handouts for T hacks who retired with full pensions at age 41.
• You may be a liberal if you want to string up the dentist who shot Cecil the Lion, but you think the ghouls at Planned Parenthood all deserve Profiles in Courage awards.

Defenders of planned parenthood insist that taxpayer dollars do not go to pay for abortions. This is nonsense, of course, because any added revenue frees up money for other purposes for which it might not have otherwise been available.

Take Public policy, for example. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England spent $832,596.00 dollars on Public policy in 2013. In 2014, they spent $1,587,499.00 dollars (nearly $1.6 million) just on public policy.

Still think Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire can’t function without taxpayer dollars?

Once again, we see yet another example that they care only about the “Winning” part of the meme “Winning is only the precursor; what you do afterwards is more important“.  Once again, we see yet one more high level NH GOP official or candidate (Steve Duprey, Chris Sununu (given he voted to fund PPNE before and REFUSES to engage on how he will vote this week from his position on the Executive Council, Scott Brown, Walt Havenstein, Juliana Bergeron, Chuck Morse, Jeb Bradley, Nancy Stiles )disregarding (or is that dismembering) the NH GOP Platform on a whole host of the important planks.  Homosexual marriage, Obamacare / Medicaid Expansion, more taxes, bigger government – why do we put up with this?  Isn’t it time to start demanding better?  If Leadership can’t support what the Party says it does, why do WE keep supporting what seems to be, more and more, a Potempkin Party?

And to top it off, NH GOP Chair Jennifer Horn must be complicit in this for her loud thundering silence.  She, of all people, is responsible for the NH GOP “brand”.  What IS that brand now a days?  Can she make ANY argument for the Platform that isn’t dissolved by her agents’ actions?

And now comes Kelly Ayotte, Jr Senator from NH.

Dennis Hamel | GrokWatch News Desk

Preface: Steve Forster had a letter delivered to the Henniker Selectman regarding legal use of his property. The town fish-wrap wrote a front page story in response. Our good Friend Dennis Hamel has written in regard to the Villager’s article. (It will not yet have run in that paper, if they run it at all.) -Steve M.

To the editor:

I was more than a little surprised at the tabloid style used by the Villager on July 31st.

Last week’s front-page story about Forster’s Christmas Tree Farm bordered on hysteria. When a private citizen and taxpayer is openly harassed by a neighbor (in collusion with a part-time town employee who has delusions of grandeur), how did the Villager come to the conclusion that a simple notice to the Board of Selectmen was “DEFYING the town”?

As I understand it, the letter to the selectmen was simply to state that use of private property in ways NOT prohibited by law can and will take place. This is clearly part of American life.

Idiots. When presented with facts, idiots are those who stick with their own viewpoints, opinions and paradigms in the face of those hard cold brutish facts. Emotion rules the day and irrational behavior is given teeth. Witness, The killing of Cecil the Lion.
