On March 13th, by a vote of 191 – 85 (with 112 not voting or excused), the Democrat Majority New Hampshire House voted down HR 24, a resolution urging congress to investigate the Benghazi incident. (No Roll Call.)

This week on GrokTALK!, Lou Milanesi, who helps organize the Benghazi vigils, had a suggestion for constituents all across New Hampshire, regarding the House vote on HR 24.

I really can’t get my head around what or how US Congressman Keith Ellison (R-MN)  said on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” (yeah, I watch the Sunday talking head programs, mostly, so you don’t have to) about the HHS Mandate and religion.  It is clear that he believes that Government should be able to control one’s expression of religion (e.g. not how YOU believe you should live but by Government’s belief system – and yes, Obama has made it clear there is one) except of course, when it comes to Islam. Such as that corporations MUST give their employees free abortifacients even if it violates deep and long held religious views against it.  How else can one put it that having The State forcing people to act contrary to their conscience is anything BUT Tyrannical?

Anyways, it probably a good thing that the Obama Admin is not letting him anywhere near the Supreme Court to help out; I just can’t logically unpack his paragraph:

Let’s step back from the whole Obamacare Affordable Act debate and ask ourselves what this would really mean. Do we really want a corporation to be able to have its own religious views AND impose them on its employees?  What would that mean for our separation of church and state for individual liberty?  What would it mean for corporate personhood?  This is scary territory and people need to win.

Well, I have no clue what HE means other than he’s with Obama: believe as the Government demands., but I shall try:

Muslim clerics and leaders of terrorist groups are always telling us what they want. They want us to die.  Survivors will be treated as less than animals.  Allah requires the faithful to cleanse the world to create the global Ummah.  And it is Ok to lie, cheat, break vows, whatever is required. (Just like Democrats.)

The same Democrats who think that a Republican chosing vanilla over chocolate has to be a racist dismiss direct statements from these clerics and terrorists as inconclusive.   And while an obscure Republican asking why they have to pay for a strangers abortion is evidence of hate speech by everyone who was ever a Republican or ever would be, a Muslim Cleric repeating the much stated promise to destroy Israel and enslave its people is just trash talk.

In a recent program on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Hamas cleric and MP (member of parliament) Yunis Al-Astal cited the Quran in guiding Muslims to “massacre” the Jews.

He said, “We must massacre them, in order to break them down and prevent them from sowing corruption in the world. They are the ones who still spark the flame of war, but Allah has taken it upon Himself to extinguish it.

Democrats passed ObamaCare.  They fought for it for most of year, and have defended lied about it ever since.  And it is a smoldering, craptastic disaster.  This is a bill sold as a way to get coverage for the uninsured, but as with all things democrats do, it actually incentivize people to go without any insurance at all.

Most of the reasons the Left gave for needing this reform were not true to begin with, so was that the plan all along?  To promise universal or near universal coverage as cover for driving people out of the insurance market?

“How about we screw young people over so severely that they bail on coverage altogether…oh, uh, after we get them to vote for us.”

You guys are the experts?  The smart ones?  How could this be a mistake?  You wrote the law so this has to be intentional.

Matt Drudge advertised the fact that he had to make his first NoBamaCare fine payment for not having insurance.  The left and lefty media went nuts.

Premise?  Tax /Fine /Fee not due to start until 2015, Drudge is lying for political points.  Reality.  Many if not most self-employed/business owners pay taxes quarterly for the next tax year.  The next tax year is 2014.  This is the first quarter of that tax year.  C. Edmund Wright at American Thinker gives you a few more details…

However strange it may be, I am on Steve Vaillancourt’s email list.  Like any distro list, a lot go unread, some get glanced at, and a few are interesting.  This was both amusing and alarming as he describes the mental state of NH State Speaker of the House Terri Norelli.  The two words above did grab my attention – and Steve’s words from this morning (“liberal ghetto” and “twig snapping”) goes in on this as well – one begins to wonder “nervous breakdown” or “will there be a double down”?  Emphasis mine:

Subject: a livid speaker

Normally I would send what I write to all, but for once I figure, why antazgonize [sic] Democrats any more than necessary, but of course, I realize any one person could pass this along to them.

“Livid” and “berserk” were the words I heard bandied around yesterday from a large number of Democrats to describe Speaker Norelli’s demeanor in front of her caucus Thursday morning.  One person said she had never been so angry.  Another rolled his eyes in shame.  I didn’t even ask for these comments.  In fact, when the first Demcrat began to describe Norelli’s actions in detail to me, I immediately explained to her that by telling me, she could expect me to use it.  She then quieted down; perhaps I shouldn’t have warned her, but I believe in being honest with people.  I also don’t usually name names.  In this case it was a she–hint–no friend of free staters.

Would that have been NH State Rep

Neil Cavuto is not everyone’s cup of tea (I like him, TMEW does not); even though he is known as a biz reporter, he has to be up on the politics as Government has put itself into all aspects of pretty much all businesses (after all, we individuals can’t deal with companies on our own – we’re too stoopid or someton).  Given the background noise of a Republican wave that’s starting to crest, he’s got observations that should give some pause to the “Obamacare is gonna take us to the Promised Land” (again) exuberance here’s some of his observations that should give some some pause (emphasis mine, reformatted):

I’m not saying ObamaCare won’t be and shouldn’t be an issue.  But stopping action on any other issue in the meantime looks pretty stupid.  Look, I was the first to say this Affordable Care Act wasn’t affordable and the promises behind it were just an act.  But this Republican act of sitting on the ball and running out the clock, hoping it paves the way to an easy win in November?  Stupid. Beyond stupid.  Leaving aside Republicans have consistently grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.  What makes them think this is a winning strategy? Seizing on 53 percent not liking a law, and then laying down the law for party members.  It’s healthcare. Only healthcare.

• Who told them abandoning their principles was key to winning back control?
• Who told the Tea Partiers to shut up simply because they wanted to keep forcing spending down?
• Who told the conservatives who were passionate about controlling benefits that it wasn’t to the party’s benefit to try?
• Who told the Grand Old Party to give up its grand old soul?
• Who told them to let the spending go?
