Duck, Here Comes Phil

It must be that time of year for homosexual news.

Here we go again.

There is a cable TV network named A&E which stands for “Anus & Entertainment” from what I can determine, and they have a problem with a guy who has a very popular show they sell to the public. It is a family show.

Now what in the world A&E thought they were doing when they sold this program is beyond me. Maybe they thought it would make the duck hunters who star in the series look like hayseeds. That blew up in their faces when the show started gathering about nine million viewers a week.

Then, as could be predicted, a star of the show said something he believes. The network has a big problem on their hands, it was perceived as anti-homosexual.

How Many Democrats?

Maybe it is not weird to notice such things but the morning edition of the Manchester paper, reporting on the Second Amendment rally in Nashua yesterday, states… While former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown headlined a private Republican holiday party downtown on Thursday, two separate groups of protesters rallied outside for different causes. About 250 members … Read more

Is the Plan To Scuttle the S.S. ObamaCare?

On Christmas Eve, it will be three years and nine months since President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, into law.

Seven decades ago, it took less time — 3 years, 8 months and 26 days, from December 7, 1941, to September 2, 1945— for the nation to endure the attack on Pearl Harbor, rebuild an undermanned and underequipped military, put the nation’s industrial might on a wartime footing, prosecute World War II, complete the Manhattan Project, and force the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan.

Sorry, But The State DOES Have An Interest in Marriage

The State has a very necessary role in marriage.  A task tied directly to the reason behind the existence of the state in the first place.

Let us begin with this.  Why do states, or more generally speaking, governments exist at all?  Government’s are created to tap into the benefit of mutual self-interest.  They exist to allow for a militia of like minded individuals to protect and defend natural rights.  The most important of these natural rights are the right to personal liberty and property and to act in defense of your person and property.

The American government, and that of its several states, exist to defend the shared interest in these (and other) individual rights.

So what about the state’s interest in marriage?

Evil Preaches Tolerance…

The conclusion of a post by Erick Erickson at Red State (re: Phil Robertson) Christians were once told they did not have to look or listen. The militant gay rights movement and the secular left will not abide by their own prescription. Those who dissent or think differently must be silenced. The members of GLAAD, … Read more

Senator Ayotte On The Recent Budget Bill

From a Reader:  NH Senator Kelly Ayotte’s response regarding the “Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013.  Note the bits about veterans benefits cuts and then read what I posted here yesterday re; Jeanne Shaheen.
Dear Mr xxxxxx:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013
(H.J. Res. 59). I appreciate hearing from you.

On December 18, the Senate passed a budget proposal that includes a
framework for spending levels through the end of Fiscal Year 2015 and
some relief from indiscriminate sequestration cuts. I want nothing more
than for Congress to pass a responsible budget for our nation that
provides fiscal certainty and offers some relief from sequestration to
restore our military readiness. While I appreciate the work of House
Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Budget Committee
Chairman Patty Murray (D-WA), I could not support the legislation as
written because it fails to address the biggest drivers of our nation’s
skyrocketing debt and instead unfairly singles out military retirees by
cutting their hard-earned retirement benefits by $6 billion — including
disabled veterans who retire because of their injuries. In other words,
this deal is achieved on the backs of our military men and women who
have put their lives on the line to defend our nation.

Permit Nazi

“City lawyer Bennett said some of the confusion may have been the grass-roots nature of the request. “We had three different individuals calling different city departments about this permit. You end up with different information being given to the city about just what is going to be taking place at this event,” Bennett said.”

72% Of Americans – Big Government is The Biggest Threat to The Country

Gallup is reporting that a record high 72% of Americans view big government over big business and big labor as the biggest threat to the future of the country, which aligns equally with the primary motivation behind that ‘extremist’ TEA Pary.

So.  I’m curious how the Democrats will want to spin this?

“We’re not for big government, we’re for huge government so this poll doesn’t apply to us.”

“See, we told you America is racist!”

“You can’t believe this poll because Gallup is part of the Kochtopus!”

“Hey, let’s expand Medicaid!”

“We need to start Bombing Syria Now!”

“At this point, what difference does it make?”

Relentless

This is a great review of Obama’s abuse of the term relentless, and how, frankly–like most else that comes from this Presidents mouth–it doesn’t mean a damn thing, and everyone on the planet except Obama, the Media, and the Obamazombies know it. The article is actually about the lack of enforcement regarding sanctions against Iran, … Read more

Quid Pro Quo? Say it isn’t so…

Why is Nashua’s Republican Mayor Donnalee Lozeau – the same Mayor Lozeau who publicly resigned from former NY mayor Bloomberg’s rabid anti-gun group – demanding a $1 million liability insurance policy from the organizers of Thursday’s protest of Scott Brown’s appearance at the NHGOP “Holiday” party?   Could NHGOP Chair – and Nashua resident – Jennifer … Read more

Its The First Amendment, Stupid!

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” —First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Guest post by William Johnson: “One New Hampshirean thought”

Dear Scott Brown, Please and thank you for what you accomplished in Massachusetts. Your running for the senatorial seat by itself was meaningful, and more so was your vote against the AHCA. In your running, you made it clear that there are those in Mass that have at least a shred of knowledge about that … Read more

Data Point – about all that talk about the rise of renewable power sources?

All those assertions that renewables are expanding at 100%, 200%, x%?  Yeah, its possible when you start pretty much at zero: In other words, the Energy Department’s not expecting a lot of progress for renewable energies as a fuel source for America, even after almost 100 years of efforts from politicians like Obama and billions … Read more
