John Hayward over at Hot Air has a piece that ties a bunch of things together – go read the entire thing (it’s not all that long).  Here’s a few bon mots (emphasis mine):

…The Left doesn’t just craft political strategies to attract single female voters. Liberal policies create them. One of the most significant effects of left-wing social policy has been the decline of marriage. It takes a lot of statistical yoga to argue that the War on Poverty has done anything to “fix” poverty, but viewed as a trillion-dollar effort to dissolve traditional family structure, it’s a roaring success. Virtually everything the Left has done for decades is part of the war on wives.

Want to transform Society?  Just have the Republican Party do what the Nevada Republicans have done – eliminate all references to “social issues“.  Hey buds!  This mean that you are going to cede the entirety of Society to the Dems?  Are you that freaking stupid?  Look back over the last 5 decades and keep in mind Andrew Breitbart’s fundamental understanding of Politics: “Politics is downstream of culture”.  That is to say, society of that culture.  Which the Dems have used their “social issues” policies to change the culture to change the politics.  And you Republican Smartest People in the Room keep saying to knock off the icky Right to Life, marriage, and the like?  Fundamental transformation right out from beneath your feet.  Wave that white flag.  Give up on the only path in which you can even hope to stay even?  We’re already seeing the fruits of that already.

Note to the clueless – no “social issues“?  Really?  Has the Establishment Republican Party done all that magnificently on the FISCAL ISSUES so as to be able to ditch half the battlefield?  If they had, would there have even been a need for the TEA Party uprising??? Sadly, no – why else do you think the phrases “Least Lackeys of the Welfare State” and “Jr. Partners of the Democrats” are floating around more and more?  So, yer just gonna abandon the “abject failure to succeed on” issues to concentrate on the “merely stinking bad performance” ones?

“Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.”  —Will Rogers

I saw the first Scott Brown for Senate campaign ad this morning on the local, “puppies and kitties,” affiliate, Channel 9. Last week, Scott Brown visited Joe Kelly LeVasseur’s Theo’s Restaurant and, “worked the crowd,” Joe tells me.  Slickster, is how I characterized it.

“Carpet Bagger, good for Massachusetts, not New Hampshire, Anti-gun, RINO,” are all characterizations I have heard about Scott Brown from various people. But I think we’ve all seen and heard the bits and bites relating to Scott Brown, thus far.

I have been following the New Hampshire Political ruling class efforts to stifle political speech for years.  It is a bipartisan effort to erect barriers to free speech.  So what do you call that?  Almost free speech?  Sort of Free speech?  Selective Free speech?  Speech that’s free but only during the calendar days defined by that which free speech exists to protect us from?  Inflation adjusted speech?

How about speech limited by those most threatened by it?  That is exactly what these efforts are, incumbent protection acts.  And there is another one working its way through the NH State Senate House this week (Subcommittee workgroup this Thursday at 10am LOB 308)

Sean Downey is going to be a regional coordinator for ‘Ready For Hillary’ but guess who else he works for?

WMUR Political Scoop has confirmed that Sean Downey will be working in some capacity in organizing the Northeast for the Super PAC, which has been committed to identifying potential Clinton supporters in 2016 and collecting checks of $25,000 or less.

To those who believe that courts are infallible, or that they are the final arbiter of laws, think again. Reference Plessy v. Ferguson, Dred Scott v. Sandford, and Roe v. Wade.  Courts make mistakes – huge mistakes – all of which serve to underscore the fact that we are a Constitutional Republic, not a judicial oligarchy or a democracy. Recognizing the distinctions between, and the powers of government (and those reserved to the people) under, each of these 3 types of government, is critical to preserving freedom for future generations.

The daughter of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy wrote a letter explaining her dad’s refusal to follow BLM direction or federal court orders.  After reading that letter, I trust her far beyond any government lawyer, agent, judge, bureaucrat or elected official – ANY.   The Government and its attorneys have cheated and stolen much from many during the course of our history.

This is stupid on many levels but coming from smiley-faced fascist progressive pragmatists the statement itself contradicts the entire movement they live for.  To a Liberal there is no history.  There can’t be.  Forward?  Change?  Progressivsim does not rest on the past, it only drives forward blindly ruining the future.   And you can’t “make” what does not exist.

But if we were to take this in the context of the other 70% of Americans, who are systematically fooled by the smiley-faced fascist progressive pragmatists, yes–Obama will be remembered, as will ObamaCare.  But unless you complete your quest toward tyranny and re-write it all, just in case someone accidentally looks back, it will be not be a flattering history.

To that end, someone had some fun with the original tweet from Organizing For ACORN…

Putin has attacked Ukraine and making mad eyes at the Baltic (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) in an attempt to reassemble the old Soviet Union.  China is making land demands on Japan and the Philippines.  Kim Jong Un is still playing with nuclear fire, and the Iranian Mullahs have thoughts of hegemony in the Middle East.  Iraq is in turmoil, Turkey is going Islamist, the European is both going broke (a bad thing) and starting to have its own TEA Party movement (ok, a GREAT thing – but not for Obama), Al Queada is uprising in the failed states of Somalia and Yemen, and the Taliban is just tapping its foot in Afghanistan in waiting out Obama’s “end of the good war” deadline even as they are tapping out the competition in Pakistan.  And let’s not forget the failing state to our south, Mexico, where no one seems to know who is in charge – the Federales, the drug lords, or the under siege citizens.

And with all of these major rolling catastrophes, the Obama Administration, in full Nanny mode, thinks this is worth of UN action?

After all, taxes just shovels money from one set of folks to a different set of folks.  And Saul Alinsky was all about, in “hiding” Socialism, moving the stuff from the Haves to the Have Nots.  The purpose was always to obtain the power to make that happen.  Kinda looks, with the premier Alinskyite devotee in the highest place and a cadre of Socialists  (aka Progressives) running Congress, they hit the jackpot:
