And finally, all of the videos are now up.  Ed Naile comes back at the ending of the CNHT Annual Picnic for his closing remarks:

And more than a few props for Rich Girard, host of Girard at Large on WLMW 90.7 FM New Hampshire Family Radio, who acted as Master of Ceremonies during the entire afternoon!

A bit earlier than this I had the chance to say a couple of words to the assembled crowd with a short message:

concerning the Left’s embracing their censors when they hear speech they do not like; it is insufficient to debate those of us on the Right.  Instead, they refuse to debate, thinking us beneath their dignity, but fully within their “dignity” to use any and all tactics to silence those that disagree with their politically correct nonsense speech:

On a recent episode of Headline News’s Dr. Drew on Call,  transexual Inside Edition reporter Zoey Tur put his hand on commentator Ben Shapiro’s neck and threatened to send Ben home in an ambulance. This was in response to the fact that Ben called Tur “sir,” and thus refused to accept him as a woman. Rather than make his case in response, Tur bought into the logic of fascism. After that, as far as I’m concerned, his opinion doesn’t matter. His gender doesn’t matter. His feelings don’t matter. When you go to violence in response to words, by my lights, you become a fascist; you become a thug. Your moral legitimacy is gone, baby, gone.

How UNLADY-like was transgender Mr. Tur to have threatened Shapiro, a gay Jew, with physical violence for not using speech that Tur approved on. “Speak only what I allow you to say or I will HURT you!”  Free speech is just that: I have the Right to say it but that does not mean you have to listen to it.  The same applies to what you wish to be called; you can ask but you have no Right to demand it from others.  However, the Left DEMANDS obedience and without it, demands retribution to cause real harm (physical as in this case, often financial and career threats as with Brendan Eich).   Klavan continues:

And this is one reason why I rarely take environmentalists seriously anymore.  After all, when in college in the late 70s, the headlines were all chock-a-block about a new Ice Age coming and we’re all gonna die!!  From the San Jose Mercury News 6/30/89:

A senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of “eco-refugees,” threatening political chaos, said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect….

So in 1989, they said we had 10 years.  Now 25 years later,

“American,” “illegal alien,” “foreigners,” “mothering,” and “fathering” are just a handful of words deemed “problematic” by the University of New Hampshire’s Bias-Free Language Guide.  According to the university’s website, the guide “is meant to invite inclusive excellence in [the] campus community.”  Terms also considered problematic include: “elders,” “senior citizen,” “overweight,” “speech impediment,” “dumb,” “sexual preference,” “manpower,” “freshmen,” “mailman,” and “chairman,” in addition to many others.

This is really starting to approach the medieval religious conundrum of how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.  Or as O’Reilly would say, UNH is becoming a community of pinheads.  Once again,  “the Academy” shows its illiberal and, in the case of “American”, it’s anti-American bias.  Sorry eggheads, but in your angelic pursuit being inclusive, how inclusive is it to make your country a dirty word?

More and more I am hearing things like the following.  And yes, I am getting to that point as well – I no longer will listen to Republicans yammer their pie holes and expect me to believe in that yellow rain.  Trust – built over time, gone in an instant.  A lot of the base WANTS to believe them but at some point, the “I’m done” takes over and the GOP has lost yet another voter:

Like most Republican voters, I’ve had mounting frustrations with failed promises on the part of the GOP since the much ballyhooed Gingrich revolution in 1994. However, my pragmatism has always gotten the better of my frustration and I have always reasoned with myself that, however feckless and impotent the Republicans were, they were better than the Democrats. At least the Republicans did not have legalized infanticide up until the date of delivery enshrined in their party platform, I always reasoned with myself.

“In their platform“;  well, that may be true that “good stuff” is in our Platform but as we have seen here in NH, that no longer seems to matter to such luminaries as Gov. candidate
