The US Ministry for Abortion (Planned Parenthood) has gotten the hoses on its womb vacuums all in a knot over Senator Rand Paul announcing his run at the presidency.  But in their rush to criticize how anti-woman the Kentucky Senator is in their minds they made one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never start a land war in Asia.”   PPlanned PParenthood went to Paul’s policy page and pompously pronounced to the Twitterverse the ‘Support Page’ has nothing for women.

It’s got something for Doctors, Lawyers, Farmers, Conservatives, Christians, African American’s (Marines, Musicians, students, Democrats) and even Nurses.  Nurses!  So none of those things has anything to do with Women?

Twitter made them pay.

There are a hundred ways to speak of the fire that burns in the hearts of patriots in this nation.

Those who are seeking those of like mind can see it, spreading like a wildfire across a parched forest.  Those who do not understand it are afraid of it, for it signifies something they cannot grasp and do not have the intestinal fortitude to stomach.  Liberty for All (LFA III%), the hardcore patriot group in Washington State, may be the tip of the spear, but there are many others throughout this nation who have been in the trenches for decades.

There are those who dismiss us, who claim that standing the line is stupid or even dangerous.  They claim we are setting back the liberty movement, or that we don’t know what we’re doing.  We are crazy, we are arrogant, we are self-absorbed—or so the stories go.  There are days it seems that there is no end to the accusations and the backbiting.  At times, I find myself attempting to defend

EBT cards – used to be called “food stamps” and I remember people using coupon books to pay for their items at the grocery store (and often, even now, a second round of purchases with cash or credit after using our money).  Yes, our money, for remember that the State cannot give to someone until first taking from someone.  That is the plain honesty of how it work  – taking before giving and no amount of caterwauling from the Left can change that equation (yes, for them it seems that math and economics is hard).  And Kansas has just voted that the Peoples’ money should be used for its proper usage – life sustaining items and not the “extras” like these:

• Tattoo parlors
• Spas
• Nail parlors
• Porn stores

In the Union Leader a few days ago, they printed an Op-Ed by David Scannell that bit me the wrong way (The complete Op-Ed (for context) is after the jump; emphasis mine in the parts that highlight my points).  In toto, it is obvious that he expresses what I have seen over the last few years – a growing disdain for parents and a disregard of the relationship of government and the citizens that give it its legitimacy by their consent.  Certainly in this piece it is clear that citizens have been withdrawing their consent by withdrawing their kids in participating in “mandatory” testing and surveys.  Oh, how DARE these parents get in the way of us (in the government school system)  doing what WE believe needs be done for “our” children (yeah, that’s the increasingly evident groupthink and outlook being displayed – not YOUR children but OUR children).

So here’s a couple of those snippets:

THIS JUST IN from the don’t-we-have-enough-to-worry-about-already department: the perennially put upon, overextended and tapped out Manchester School District — currently dealing with looming cuts in state funding, manufactured outrage about standardized tests, and a federal civil rights inquiry — is confronting two additional heaping helpings of trouble recently placed on its plate: sex and drugs.

NH State Rep Barbara French (D-Henniker) had an Op-Ed in the Concord Monitor stating why she was not going to vote for the NH Budget.  Certainly and true to the Democrat form whereupon ANY lessening of a proposed budget calls for shrieks of death, damnation, and falsehoods (“Our state agencies have been severely cut over the years” – really, real cuts ma’dam? Only if 1% is considered, f’instance, as severe).  Typical “we didn’t everything we wanted so Republicans aren’t just of a different mind, or wrong, but EVIL!  The whole thing is after the jump but two things jumped out at me:

• Once again, the phrase “General Welfare” is used in a completely wrongful manner
• Once again, the wealth of Individuals is held to be at the full disposal of the State (and of course, her as a legislator).

To the first:

The U.S. Constitution and the New Hampshire Constitution both direct us to promote the general good/welfare.

Constitution of New Hampshire (Part First, Bill of Rights, 1, Equality of Men, Origin, Object of Government): “All men are born equally free and independent. Therefore all government of right originates from the people, is founded in consent and instituted for the general good.”

Constitution of the United States: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Really?  Actually, no, not from legal perspective are either uses of “general welfare” which shows a lack of knowledge by this long lived solon.
