CNHT Picnic – NH Families for Education / School Choice NH and the John Birch Society

Like I said, a lot of small organizations laser focused on specific issues here in NH and the march continued at the CNHT Annual Picnic.

  • Two of those came up at the same time:  NH Families for Education and School Choice NH represented by Michelle Levell and Doris Hohensee.  Both on the issue of education and it is easy to see what their overall thrust is – WHO should be in charge of childrens’ education?
  • And a group that has taken a lot of grief over the decades, the John Birch Society, was represented by Bill McNulty.  Concentrating on the Constitution and our governance by it, it is clear that their major concerns have come true – under Obama, we have almost become a post-Constitutional nation.  Given that, and the complete disdain for its check-and-balance philosophy, they can say “hey, we warned you”.

2016 Presidential Primary: Carly Fiorina laying the smackdown on Hillary over baby organ harvesting

From an interview at CNN with Jake Tapper (emphasis mine, reformatted): Let’s talk about the legislation that’s sitting on the senate floor right now, which does allow for [exceptions for rape and incest]. Let’s also talk about Hillary Clinton’s position. Let’s talk about what extreme is. “It’s not a life until it leaves the hospital.” … Read more

Looks like the military brass is feeling the “defenseless military recruiters” heat

A pack, not a herd – De Tocqueville example where regular citizens see a need, and go fill it.  No Government necessary to provide “guidance” – in this case, Government has been running away from it.  Given the anger that many have towards their Government (re: Obama Administration) is more for itself, a fundamental transformation, and now Obama’s legacy, and seeing that this Administration is all too willing to throw those that have given much to protect the rest of us, ordinary citizens are doing the job that Government won’t do.  So they have, all over the country, gone and stand guard at recruiters’ offices.

And gaining a LOT of PR and media attention.  Methinks the brass is mostly caught in the middle, but some of this is of their own political natures at the top, so now they’ve decided that they’re tired of being embarrassed.  And sent out an order to the recruiters to call the cops on these armed citizens – putting them at risk of getting SWATTED?  Emphasis mine:

Subject: USAREC Policy – Armed citizens at recruiting centers ATO’s,

Situation: The USAREC COC has received reports from two Brigade ATOs, social media and TV coverage that law abiding armed citizens are standing outside of our recruiting centers in an attempt to safeguard our recruiters.

Execution:

1) Recruiters will not acknowledge the presence or interact with these civilians. If questioned by these alleged concerned citizens; be polite, professional, and terminate the conversation immediately and report the incident to local law enforcement and complete USAREC Form 958 IAW USAREC 190-4 (SIR)

Voter Fraud: stories from across the nation.

voter registration corsscheckThis one is for you, Ed Naile (the foremost Voter Fraud hunter in NH), and one is accomplished with the help of your friends:  the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program.  The Heritage Foundation has documented nearly 250 cases where nefarious citizens, officials, candidates and campaign operatives conspired to commit vote fraud, compromising the integrity of our elections to achieve their ideological goals.

New additions:

Kentucky: In eastern Kentucky, Ross Harris and Loren Glenn Turner funneled $41,000 to the 2002 county judgeship campaign of Doug Hays for what the defendants claimed was a lawful operation to pay more than 1,200 people $50 each to drive voters to the polls.  But a jury determined that this alleged vote-hauling program was just a disguise for what was in reality a vote-buying scheme. The punishment reflected the severity of the fraud: Hays was sentenced to six months behind bars, and Harris was hit with a $100,000 fine.

Now this here’s funny, I don’t care who you are.

“The tortured effort by some young progressives in the media to craft a trendy brand around the octogenarian Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg exposes the terrifying shallowness of the left’s bench of fashionable political figures. Democrats who watched a recent video released by Hillary Clinton, in which the candidate hawked her campaign’s branded “chillery” … Read more

Trump

I am sure to tick off many of my fellow conservatives with this one, but here it goes…

It was very exciting a couple of weeks ago to hear him say pretty much what every American is thinking. But now, as they say, he is sucking out all the oxygen. I DO like that he is pissing off the establishment, but this thing with McCain is getting as old as McCain’s time in the Senate.

What is wrong with NH’s Governor?

Still Waiting for Justice!

7-13-2015

Dear Governor Hassan,

I am looking forward to a response from you with regard to the following matter that I am also sending to the press:

The New Hampshire NEA (teachers’ union) has gone on record, publicly supporting you and has referred to you as a ‘tireless advocate for New Hampshire school children.’ If that were true, then why would you allow a video that exploits a non-verbal autistic student, in the state of New Hampshire, to continue to be sold for profit at the NH Institute on Disability? I am left with the impression that you may be ignoring the violations because the New Hampshire Department of Education and the NEA are considered major funders of the video? After all, you have and continue to benefit from the NEA’s political support.

Sixty-Seven New Hampshire House Reps have signed on to an open letter to Governor Hassan. They are asking that she change state policy to allow members of the NH National Guard to carry firearms either concealed or openly, like any other legal gun owner in the State, at their own discretion.

This letter is to be delivered to the Governor, the press, and Major General William N. Reddel III, Adjutant General, New Hampshire National Guard.

The Establishment Party on Trump; what part of “You have brought him upon yourselves”

is it that you don’t get?  Much part of the base’s angst is often due to the perception that the Establishment “picks” the Party’s candidate, this is just craziness (emphasis mine):

GOP donors wanted Bush, Rubio, and Walker to boycott debates unless Trump was disqualified

So, so dumb, but that’s our donor class for you.

Many national Republican officials are increasingly resigned to Mr. Trump’s looming presence. At a meeting of the Republican Governors Association this week in Aspen, Colo., donors and operatives mused about how to prevent him from hijacking the debate.

One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line. The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.

Allahpundit has is own reasons why this is such a dumb reason.  Mine is different (and I already gave away the spoiler):

Medicaid Expansion: What happens in N. Dakota is coming here.

Obamacare -Year of the SnakeWhy?  When you FORCE some people into Medicaid, costs go up.  When you give something to people, they say “Someone ELSE is paying for it?  Fine!”.  North Dakota did that…and now the expense to taxpayers is now becoming seen.  And can you guess who (and which Party) is saddling the N.D. taxpayers with this (emphasis mine and reformatted):

Surprise! It seems the costs associated with the expansion of Medicaid in North Dakota are higher than what was originally projected. Yet, Republican North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s decision to expand this awful government-run health care program that’s an integral part of Obamacare is a “win-win” for him, according to Say Anything’s Rob Port:

Yup, Republican!  And wait – it gets better!

An example of Establishment Republicans heaping coals on themselves – Kasich in his own words!

Great example from Instapundit (in its entirety, emphasis mine, reformatted):

KASICH REVEALS HILLARY CAME TO HIS ENGAGEMENT PARTY:

Sean Hannity, who interviewed Kasich after his announcement on Tuesday, asked the Ohio governor about comments he’s made downplaying the IRS and Benghazi scandals.

“You said, ‘I’m more worried about how we’re going to fix America than Hillary’s email server and you said, ‘I don’t believe you beat her by talking about Benghazi or her emails–”.  “No, you don’t,” Kasich interrupted Hannity.

While he said these issues would likely come up in a campaign, Kasich said, “My opinion, the Republican that can best articulate a big  message…Look, I’ve known Hillary a long time. When I got engaged to be married she came to the party, OK? ”

Not a bad write up on ‘Grok friend, Corey Lewandowski

CoreyLewindowski_AFPFor full disclosure, I was honored to be AFP’s Activist of the Year for New Media in 2011 while he was it’s NH Executive Director and Steve was selected as one of their Bloggers of the Month; take that for what you will.  Anyways, I’ve known Corey for a few years now and while we haven’t agreed on every jot and tittle on policy and issues, I think this piece at Politico is a fair one with just a couple of “shots to the back” that are unwarranted.  Hard working, always on the go, juggling multiple things at the same time; the one thing I can say is probably the best that can be said of a political operative, at least in my dealings with him: honest broker.  I emailed him back a few weeks ago and told him, after I had heard he was going to be working for Trump to “hold on tight, this is going to be the wildest rocket ride you’ve ever had”.

So far, it seems, that prediction is coming true.  And living up to #2!  A couple of excerpts (reformatted, emphasis mine):

The man behind Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has a knack for spectacle, an eye toward making money and a proven willingness to defy the Republican Party.  In other words, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is a lot like his new boss.  Lewandowski, who has been advising Trump since January and managing his improbable — and, for many Republicans, headache-inducing — run to the top of the GOP primary field in national polls has spent the past decade and a half drifting away from the party establishment.

CNHT Picnic – 603 Alliance and NH Right To Live

Continuing on!  One of the nice things about the CNHT Annual Picnic is that the myriad of group on the Conservative side of the aisle (both politically and morally).

  • A new force in NH that recently came on the scene is the 603 Alliance which is pushing the idea of gathering behind a conservative candidate in the FITN primary – they are tired of seeing good conservative candidates fail and lose when a squish splits the vote and wins.  They will be holding a round robin caucus for conservatives to rally around a single candidate and return the favor towards the moderates.
  • Certainly we know that the NHRTL has been a force to reckon with here in NH in protecting the rights of the children-in-process.  And as we saw in the US Senate race back in November, cross them like Scott Brown did and their followers will cross YOU off their ballot.

Diane Bitter for the 603 Alliance

CNHT Picnic – NH Liberty Alliance and Claremont Citizens for Lower Taxes

One thing about NH is that there are all kinds of advocacy and educational groups of just about any issue people are talking about.  No, not generally all that large but they are passionate about what they do and what they are about.

  • On the political side is the NH Liberty Alliance – a group dedicated for keeping our elected politicians on the straight and narrow on legislation that speaks to OUR freedom as individuals (as opposed to giving Government less shackles which generally diminishes our liberty).  Paul Best does the representing
  • On the taxation side comes Cindy Howard for the Claremont Citizens for Lower Taxes.  Coming from a section of NH that is as liberal (e.g., spend, spend, spend!) as any other in the country, she and her group fights for the little guys for whom life is harder than the elites and for those who aren’t part of the politically connected.

Doug Scamman – a note on the “social issues” you want Republicans to drop

After all, they are JUST so icky and JUST so divisive.  So, ‘splain this one to me, eh?

This all comes as Walker shoots up in the GOP primary polls with the renewed focus he’s placing on social issues and on national security issues.

Social issues.  Polling high.  Why, Doug, why?  Does this mean that social issues get peoples’ attention – and in Scott Walker’s case, votes?  WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

And remember: ALL social issues have fiscal costs.  Especially as abortion / baby organ trafficking is in the headlines.  After all, Doug Scamman, funding THAT social issue costs us over $500 Billion / year just at the Federal level.  Now, here in NH, ONLY CHRIS SUNUNU (R), Executive Councilor, knows how much NH taxpayers are going to be soaked for supporting the same.  HE IS THE SWING VOTE – and he voted for funding Planned Parenthood (that paragon of moral relativism and word shifting) last time around (guess he must pal around with NH GOP Committeeman Steve Duprey who at least gives out of his own pocket to fund PP Action PAC – that lobbies folks like Chris Sununu to make all of us donate to Planned Parenthhod’s immorality.

And I don’t wanna hear about “oh, but Skip, it goes to OTHER activities!”.  Yeah, like selling dead baby parts so some PP mucky-mucky, Dr. Mary Gatter, might get her Lamborghini:

Blog Observation – the NH GOP Resolution condemning Planned Parenthood

Given the tape of Planned Parenthood negotiating for baby parts / organs from those aborted babies, a lot of people are looking both askance at and deeply into what this “social issue” truly means for our Society.  It IS EVIL, what is going on and what is being done.  Good on the NH GOP, as Steve posted here, for calling out and holding the Democrats accountable that enable this to happen.

But with this Resolution, one thing caught my eye and made me think “hypocrites one again” – they call for the Democrats to clean their house but never getting around to cleaning their own house?  When they wrote (abstracted, emphasis mine):

NH Executive Council: So they are going to pull an Obama on Medicaid Expansion contract and do it outside the legislature??

Rumor has it that the NH Executive Council may be voting on extending the current Medicaid Expansion (aka, BradleyCare) tomorrow for the computer systems.  This in the backlight that the budget was vetoed?  This from NH Business Review (reformatted, emphasis mine):

While the House and the Senate are embroiled in a budget standoff, the state Department of Health and Human Services is asking the Governor and Executive Council for permission to spend another $25 million on the state’s troubled contract with Xerox, to implement and run the state’s Medicaid computer information system.

Hey, Planned Parenthood supporters, answer the question!

Democrats – racist then, racist now.  They keep trying to change the definition of words, and their symbology, but racist is as racist does.  Margaret Sanger, Democrat icon and saint, started Planned Parenthood to carry out eugenics against blacks and other undesirables. And they haven’t changed a bit. (H/T: Liberal Logic 101)
