Data Point – Consumer confidence crashing

“It’s bad news when Americans lose confidence in the economy. When confidence deteriorates, consumers become worried about their jobs and their paychecks, which in turn makes them want to spend less. And considering that personal consumption accounts for 68% of gross domestic product, the consequences can be huge. During the week ending Sunday, Gallup’s US … Read more

Freedom. “The United States has no purpose. That is perhaps its greatest achievement.”

No purpose but HappyI knew that I had used that “Yamamoto” quote (guns, blades of grass) before and in trying to find it for this post, what was at the top was something just as good to contemplate a second time:

When I first read this at BusinessWeek (of all places!) after doing the show yesterday with our interview with NH State Senator Gary Lambert , it stopped me dead in my tracks (emphasis mine):

The United States has no purpose. That is perhaps its greatest achievement. America’s founding document, its Declaration of Independence, allows that a state exists only to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

BlogObservation of the Day – the intentions of Obama?

Emphasis mine:

Elizabeth Price Foley wonders whether Obama is actually going to create his “national” police force in contravention of Congress and the Constitution.

Then again, we already know Obama has no regard for the Constitution and never has. I figure if he succeeds in creating his own Geheim Staatz Polizei that the Obamajugend won’t be far behind.

What makes all of this incredible to me is that he has gone out of his way to make sure that relatively small civil/criminal matters have devolved into crises he can exploit.

The $10,000 “Draw Muhammad” winner at the AFDI event in Garland, Texas

where those two Islamic Jihadists won their Darwin Awards and removed themselves from the gene pool by a good guy with a gun?

Muhammad Wolverine_Kinda looks like Marvel’s Wolverine character, in a 7th Century sorta way (Fawstin is the cartoonish, btw). (H/T: American Thinker)  Oh, btw, that post also had the Christian equivalent (if you don’t remember a few years back as to how our tax money was spent.  Funny, I don’t remember anyone trying to kill that “artist” then or now:

Steve Duprey – another reason why Walt Havenstein & Scott Brown lost

Why should the grassroots work & fight for NH GOP Leadership that double-crosses them ideologically?

NH GOP Victory Starts Now LogoOK, a bit of a clickbait title, but it works.  Here’s why:

  • Walt Havenstein lost, in no small part, because he insulted pretty much all of the TEA Party base (re: Conservative, Libertarian) wing of the Party.  Then didn’t like being held accountable when asked to apologize.  Then reversed his position on Medicaid Expansion
  • Scott Brown lost, in no small part, for angering the large Second Amendment wing of the Party, his boasting about being bipartisan (and in reality voting more & more with Democrats in the US Senate the longer he was there), and finally trying to out-abortion Jeanne Shaheen.  Yes, he completed a trifecta of trouble all by himself.

These two wanted to be part of the leadership of the NH GOP, election-wise.  Each was standing on stances totally contrary to the NH GOP Platform.  And then there is Chair Jennifer Horn that has publicly spouted about supporting small businesses – her trial against a small biz person starts soon (even though it looks like he had nothing to do with anything except he had to sue her because she tried to stiff him – and lost).  I’ve previously blogged NH State GOP Committeewoman Juliana Bergeron’s stance on gay marriage (to the point of beseeching the US Supreme Court of federalizing the status of marriage).  So much for “limited government” and the plank that says “One Man, One Woman”.

And now NH State GOP Committeeman Steve Duprey running for cover for his pro-abortion stance and financial support.  Again, completely contrary to the NH GOP Platform.  Same as Scott Brown.  And same as Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.  Could this be the reason why one hears calls for the NH GOP to go “social issues free” – because the Leadership is more like the Democrats than what they want us to believe?

What IS it with the NH GOP Leadership – thinking they are above the stated principles of the NH GOP??  Better yet, why does the Establishment GOPpers keep voting them in to represent the NH GOP if they don’t represent what the NH GOP says it does?   Is this “lawlessness” of another stripe?
