The Brookline Democrats made local news at the end of April when they tweeted a meme and suggested that because of a shooting at a Fed Ex facility in Kennesaw, Georgia, another NRA/GOP talking point had been busted.

Kennesaw requires all adults to own a firearm, but the shooting occurred at the FedEx facility, one of the few places in town designated as a gun free zone.  The Brookline Democrats tried to save face for a while on Twitter, but at the end of the day, it was their talking point that got busted.

Guns don’t kill people, Gun Free Zones kill people, which means Democrats who insist on gun free zones kill people.

“The most fundamental tragedy of my life is that the ones who I see do not exist and the one who exists I do not see.” —Kedar Joshi

sol·ip·sism– 1. The theory that the self is the only thing that can be known and verified. 2. The theory or view that the self is the only reality.

I’ve never heard the word, but I like it. and it aptly fits Bloomberg’s anti-gun maven, Shannon Watts. Aside from somebody who obviously didn’t get enough attention when she was a kid, Watts is a phony…a charlatan…a poser. According to their own website, Moms Demand Action formed within a day of the Newtown Massacre with Shannon Watts as its founder.

Watts description is that of a 42-year-old mother of five children who is a, “stay-at-home” mom in the idyllic Indianapolis Suburb of Zionsville.  And, Prior to her current noble mission Watts enjoyed a 15-year career as a communications exec in public relations and for some Fortune 500’s.

On the other is this headline from the Nashua Telegraph (emphasis mine, reformatted) says “Oh no you can’t!”:

Brown only candidate not to confirm attendance at Merrimack forum

MERRIMACK – Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is the only major candidate who hasn’t accepted an invitation to a forum for candidates in the 2014 Republican primary for U.S. Senate hosted by the Merrimack Business Association.  The debate, which is scheduled for June 18, has already confirmed former state Sen. Jim Rubens, former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith and former gubernatorial candidate Karen Testerman.

Dave McCray, of the Merrimack Business Association, said he heard from Brown’s staff as recently as Wednesday afternoon, but said Brown has yet to confirm the date.  “All I kept hearing was how busy he was,” McCray said.  McCray said Brown’s staff told him they needed to “check their calendars,” and said a campaign representative would contact the association. Candidates were given five days to reply to the invitation, which, according to the Merrimack Business Association, was sent to Brown on April 23.

Right.  Check their calendars – got it.  That is political speak for “oh crap

“Behold, the power of Obamanomics. More businesses are failing now than are being created, a first for the American economy since the Carter era, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution. That has become even more true during the Obama “recovery” than during the Great Recession:”

“The reasons can’t be that unknown.

Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.

In the NH Constitution, Part I, Article 22;  Free speech and liberty of the press are essential to the security of freedom in a state: They ought, therefore, to be inviolably preserved.

Inviolable: Impregnable to assault or trespass.  Invincible.

Essential to the security of freedom in a state...from?

The proponents of campaign finance reform (Including NH’s SB120) continue to argue that money is not speech, but that is a message none of you would know anything about if someone hadn’t spent the money necessary to ensure you had heard it.

Talk about irony.
