If you take the position that hate mailers might have a mental disorder then you probably pray the hate-mailer would seek professional help, right?
I have a suggestion for a way that a person who sends hate mail can begin traveling the road to recovery. (I borrow from some addiction lingo I have heard from TV commercials.)
What about this series of suggestions for a hate mailer who needs help:
Yes, Steve posted on NH Rep Mel Myler him “raptoring” those poor school kids testifying against Common Core and essentially tearing them limb from limb with his remarks. I DO wonder why WMUR didn’t splash this all over their news shows and show similar contempt for this Democrat as they did the Republicans? Liberal / Progressive … Read more
Today the New Hampshire House Education Committee the executive session was held on Senate Bill 101 (SB 101). It is a bill that will prohibit the state from requiring the implantation of Common Core. The bill is sponsored by Republicans in both the senate and the house. It was sought after by parents across the Granite State who are already experiencing the nightmare and lowered standards of Common Core.
Ah yes, that So, last post I decided to relay to you, readers, of the intent by politician (re: from the Latin “poly” meaning many and “tics” meaning blood sucking parasites only out for their own good) Dennis Senibaldi to intimidate me to pull down the GraniteGrok posts that Grokster Kimberly had put up about the malfeasance done in Windham. Certainly his supporters have come up to call what Kimberly put up as inaccurate and, in some cases, outright lies in the various posts here. After all, they pouted, the Examiner.com pulled their posts down and they are a FAR better site than GraniteGrok. Yet when challenged, NONE of them could actually point out a single data point that was in error.
Naw, it just means they did an almost instantaneous takedown after receiving the demands from Dennis Senibaldi and Al Letizio but extended no loyalty or due process for Kimberly and just caved. Political and Journalistic courage be damned (and their First Amendment protections) so it seems. And I have waited most patiently to hear back from Dennis Senibaldi who said that he would “contemplate” my offer over the weekend to write a rebuttal AND tell us where Kimberly was in error. As Howie Carr oft says, however, when the phone don’t ring you know its for you. No lovely phone call, no loving emails – I’m crushed.
Well, Saturday’s event at the Seacoast Republican Women / Rockingham County Republican Committee Brunch at the Portsmouth Country Club was fun to be there. Even though I was under the weather (and in coming down from Central NH where some of the snow squalls were starting to go whiteout, that’s setting a low bar to crawl under), I was glad I went (and for the first time in a long time, TMEW came with me – she wanted to see Ted Cruz in person and not just posted on GraniteGrok.
So, time to play catchup and post what we livestreamed:
Intro Banter:
And of course Steve has been posting the audio as well! More video for this post and more video from the event in the next post:
Of COURSE they are – and after watching the Conservative / TEA Party loathing Lois Lerner, we get another “non-partisan” bureaucrat that only has our best interest at heart and dearly wants to do the BEST for society: The problem is, the hard core Progressives DO believe that the rest of us are Nazis – … Read more
We seem to be losing all common sense these days. Our First Amendment Rights are clearly under attack. Not only are our public officials flouting Right to Know laws, they are using LAWFARE to shut down dissent, arresting citizens exercising their right to speak freely in public.
We all watched the drama unfold in Gilford when William Baer was arrested for making inquiries to the Gilford School Board which the board deemed inappropriate. (In his December decision, Judge James Carroll ruled that Baer was “impolite, but not criminal…the sequence of the arrest actions cause pause by the court as to the chilling, if not silencing, of a citizen by the state, for actions which do not warrant a criminal arrest nor conviction.”) This was one for the good guys.
And now, in the town of Alton, we are watching this drama once again unfold with the Feb. 3 arrest of Jeffrey Clay. Arrested for “defamatory” comments, Mr. Clay is quoted as saying, “Every time I show up here, it is with my fervent hope that I find you folks have resigned…But you continue to show an unwillingness to take responsibility for your actions as selectman and resign.” Hmmm…Defamatory? Not so much, I think.

Policies started by Moonbeam Jerry Brown and enforced by environmental allies since the ’70s have born fruit, more foreign fruit, less California fruit, and general misery for the left coasters.
As Hillary marches, falls, stumbles, and waddles towards the Presidency of the United States , an office that no longer holds much luster anyway, you have to remember one thing about the Clintons – time is always on their side.
Back when Hillary hired Craig Livingstone to grab as many FBI files of Republican opponents as he could get away with she simply lied about it throughout the average time frame a Clinton scandal lasts, about 18 months.
They know this. They live this. It works for them.
This needs some work, but I think you get the point. The budget is growing, not shrinking. We are spending more. Spending “less” more is NOT a budget cut.
Once one is labeled as anti-government, which simply means you are opposed to waste and abuse of tax dollars, the lefties lock-step up and let their hair down.
At first it might be disturbing to people not familiar with moonbats but soon you can see the usual pattern.
Obama shoveled a dose of it to political opponents after he was elected. His pent-up chance to deliver came as something in the order of, “We won you lost.” Oh how long he must have pined to say that in public.
And here is an example of the same constipated condescension from the college town of Henniker, after their recent Town Meeting. It is one of three letters sent anonymously to three individuals who spoke at the Town Meeting:
From Austrian economist, Ludig Von Mises:
Many people are still haunted by the idea, which dates back to the preliberal era, that a certain nobility and dignity attaches to the exercise of governmental functions. Up to very recently public officials in Germany enjoyed, and indeed still enjoy even today, a prestige that has made the most highly respected career that of a civil servant. The social esteem in which a young “assessor” or lieutenant is held far exceeds that of a businessman or an attorney grown old in honest labor. Writers, scholars, and artists whose fame and glory have spread far beyond Germany enjoy in their own homeland only the respect corresponding to the often rather modest rank they occupied in the bureaucratic hierarchy.
There is no rational basis for this overestimation of the activities carried on in the offices of the administrative authorities. It is a form of atavism, a vestige from the days when the burgher had to fear the prince and his knights because at any moment he might be spoliated by them. In itself it is no finer, nobler, or more honorable to spend one’s days in a government office filling out documents than, for example, to work in the blueprint room of a machine factory.
After all, they work for us – although lately, many are thinking the opposite.

During the House Education Committee hearing today, Rep. Myler representing Merrimack District 10, rebuked the large number of parents who e-mailed him in support of SB101 saying he’s sick of hearing from the people who are e-mailing him. (Video on the jump)
Isn’t it the duty of our elected Representatives serving on these committees to consider all testimony and even when there is disagreement, encourage individuals to speak up? Doesn’t this kind of rant discourage people from weighing in on important legislation?
Shades of “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” – From A Kaiser Family Foundation study released in January reported that 48% of uninsured Americans say they will remain uninsured because Obamacare prices are too high. That also explains why the Kaiser Foundation estimates Obamacare will cost $2.6 trillion over the next 10 years, and why … Read more

Democrats are stupid. What you need proof?
This morning, the governor of Connecticut, Dan Malloy, announced that he would be the first governor in the union to sign an executive order limiting state-sponsored travel to Indiana because of Indiana’s ostensibly “discriminatory practices.”
Because of Indiana's new law, later today I will sign an Executive Order regarding state-funded travel. -DM

I almost feel a little sorry for Dennis Senibaldi. The first rule any public official should follow is to never use intimidation or bullying against a writer or blogger with a fairly decent-sized audience.
The second rule any public official should follow is to never comment on articles or blogs that show them in a negative light if they still cannot back themselves up.
Senibaldi and Letizio both broke rule #1. Senibaldi broke rule #2 today when he decided to comment on my blog showing his intimidation against my editors by demanding they take down my articles.
And of course I am going to share them here for all to see.
