(H/T: Liberal Logic 101)

The purpose of a company is to make money for its owners: sole proprietor, partners, C Corp, LLC, or bigger.  They exist to make wealth – I know my job when working for someone else is to maximize profit.  I was rather blunt with my employees – your job is to put money in my pocket.  Don’t do that, and no one here has a job. Even entry level employees must do that – but there is that economic risk in hiring that person.  While time must be given, and training given, to that employee, the goal is to make them profitable.   What stands to reason is that the lower the cost to employ that person, the easier the risk is to take on that new guy.

The Left sees companies as mere extentions of the Welfare State (that they don’t completely have total control over – yet).  I should do a post on this soon (been thinking about this for a while).  They chatter about that EVERY Company must pay a higher rate for rank newbies even as most just aren’t economically worth it.  They come at it from a “we’re all in this together – hey, we’re a rich country, right?”  – two fallacies at once.

Dictionary.com Racism:

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

I got bad news.  I agree with many on the left.  Our country is infested with vile racists.  They’re everywhere: in our media, in our government, in our schools, in our stores and they remain contaminating a major political party as they have historically done for well over a century.

A cynical person might put two and two together and conclude something sinister and nefarious is afoot.  That intentional harm is consistently applied to a certain group of people by the hands of another certain group of people. Think about it. The same party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow and who fought against the Civil Rights movement (e.g., people had to march in Alabama for civil rights to be recognized because of the Democrats controlling the state: George Wallace, Governor, Democrat) is now insouciant about the demise of the black family and the black squalor of the inner cities.  Coincidence? Maybe.

But there’s more…

If  you think Obama’s a good president… you’re a racist.

Planned Parenthood of New England – I guess that whole thing about “womens’ reproductive health” is a front for an XXX movie shack, eh?  Congrats, Jeanne; I NEVER want to hear that the civil discourse and society are getting coarser and coarser, as your support helped to make this possible.  As Grokster Tom pointed out here, when you take money from an outfit that creates PORN FOR TEENS, you are complicit with them.  When you thank them for their endors.  Whips, chains, leather, bindings, submissions – and letting teens and pre-teens “hey, have a ball!” (innuendo intended).  That a sitting NH State Senator is complicit in pushing porn to teens should evoke a backlash.  Along with, as Tom points out, these “fine upstanding pornifiers:

PPNNE also endorsed and funded the campaigns of: Governor Maggie Hassan, Senator Molly Kelly, Senator Bette Lasky, Senator Sylvia Larsen, Senator Lou D’Allesandro, Senator Andrew Hosmer, Senator Martha Fuller Clark, Executive Councilor Debora Pignatelli, and lone Republican Senator Bob Odell (who should be drummed out of the Republican Party, today).  What a fine bunch we have in Concord.

NH State Senators – and now with their association with PPNE, providers of pre-teen porn.  Indeed, what a fine bunch we have in Concord!  And just think, US Senator Jeanne Shaheen is also complicit in this porn pushing – when the NH Executive Council voted against funding PPNE, Jeanne Shaheen decided “I’ll show those rube New Hampshire Citizens – *I* will override the democratic process in NH and fund it with Federal monies“.  So she’s more complicit than the above.  After all, if she got them Federal money, what’s the over/under that the Shaheen money was used for the video, hmmmm?  Such a partisan act, such an act against one of the pillars of our Constitutional Republic – Federalism (e.g., let the States take care of the States, but Progressive Shaheen, it seems, hates that idea too (“how DARE you act differently than what we in DC decree!”).  Take my word for it – this group of “leaders” are sending a message to parents:

WE OWN YOUR KIDS and WE will teach them OUR Morality

Vote Fraud Mountain is beginning to weigh heavy on the minds of progressives.  They are now being directed to write letters to the editor in defense of New Hampshire Democrat vote stealing tactics.  This is fantastic.  People who were not even aware of this issue will now ask why they are doing that.

Here is why.  Democrats are stealing your votes, and they know they are.  The graying of laws and interpretations that permit this theft are of their making.  And Democrats cannot even answer a simple question like this, without having to tie themselves into rhetorical knots.

Why is it OK for out of state activists (who are only here for a few days or weeks if at all) to vote absentee in our elections using the addresses of elected New Hampshire Democrats but thousands of college kids who fail to meet the residency requirements for in-state tuition at UNH can’t vote absentee in their own home states?

“The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor.”   —William Cobbett

Brilliant!~  just brilliant! This morning, I come to you from Harrisburg Pennsylvania, versus my humble home in the Granite State. I am here visiting my Daughter and Son-in-law and the grandkids…They are residents. So anyhow, as I am rolling out of bed and turn on the television, this commercial comes on. Tom Wolf…in a classroom….surrounded by kiddos. Wolf goes into this diatribe about paying for education through [drumroll, please] an, “Extraction Tax.” Yes, he wants to pay for education with taxing utilities to take natural resources from under the Keystone state. See for yourself his Campaign ad below!

We do a lot of bashing of teachers unions here at the ‘Grok and often, they bring it upon themselves.  I truly believe that their power ascendency has meant a lessening of actual teaching of our kids (along with a whole raft of other things, educational fads that should have never seen the light of day, and busybodies).  However, this post is for commenter Balencesto who keeps crying that all I do is bash teachers.  Some, to be true, but they deserve it.  But all of us have teachers that touched us and that we remember later on in life (1st grade Ms. Walsh, 5th grade Mrs. Johnson (math – what a hard nosed horrible teacher that demanded the most from me, and sophomore history teacher Mr. Dominishie who taught me “context”).  So when I ran across this at The Home Front, I had to share:

 Every Friday afternoon my son’s teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children with whom they’d like to sit the following week… She also asks the students to nominate one student whom they believe has been an exceptional classroom citizen that week. All ballots are privately submitted to her.

And every single Friday afternoon, after the students go home, Chase’s teacher takes out those slips of paper, places them in front of her and studies them. She looks for patterns.
