When Confronted With A Lie, You Need To Stand Your Ground

keep-calm-and-stand-your-ground-5

Judith Cherbonneau of Claremont has posted a petition on Change.org asking New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan to take another look at the stand your ground law in New Hampshire.

Calling for “Stand Your Ground” laws to be reviewed is a bipartisan effort. President Obama spoke out on the need for review, and prominent Republicans like Senator John McCain have joined him.

“Stand Your Ground” was never meant to give aggressors the opportunity to get away with murder, but unfortunately that is sometimes the case. And after Trayvon Martin’s death, even former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who signed into law the first Stand Your Ground bill in the country, said: “‘Stand your ground’ means ‘stand your ground.’ It doesn’t mean ‘chase after somebody who’s turned their back.'”

Wait.  Isn’t that the petition to Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina.  Or was that the wording for the petition to the governor of Arizona?  Was it Louisiana?  Maybe it was Virginia, or Alabama, or Pennsyl…you know what.  It was all of them and then some.  They are all exactly the same.

First Annual Strong NH Conference: Jordon Sekulow of the ACLJ (Parts 2, 3, 4, and Q & A)

Continuing on, Jordon continued to talk about his organization’s work on behalf of Liberty and Freedom, especially in terms of the Obama Administration’s efforts to “bring the pain” in showing its disdain towards veterans (NH CongressCritters Carol Shea-Porter, Annie Kuster, and Jeanne Shaheen, if you remember, have continued to vote FOR his policies – FORWARD!):

First Annual Strong NH Conference: Howie Carr (Parts 1 & 2)

I have been a listener to talk radio for decades and I remember first listening to Howie Carr as one of the tax advocates “captains” with Barbara Anderson on the Jerry Williams show on WRKO and then again when he took over for Jerry a while later.  Being a long distance commuter for years, Howie was a constant drive-home companion: news, humor, great guests, wit – and an abiding disdain for politicians that worked for themselves, to obtain power, and to pass out patronage jobs.

He does not disappoint – on the radio or in person. Syndicated columnist, Hall of Fame talk show host, and New York Times best selling author – he’d quite the guy.  And he had quite the opinion of one NH based politician as well – but more on that in a bit.

“I was NOT expecting this”

Early in her term, we at GraniteGrok told Kelly Ayotte that she was exceeding our expections.  Then, however, it was clear that she had thrown in with both US Senators Maverick McCain and Lindsey Grahamnesty.  Then we heard about her embracing amnesty for illegal alients.  And then leading the lynch mob against the Republicans in the US Senate that were actually fighting on conservative terms.  People have been noticing.

Even Howie Carr had noticed the change in her and brought it up during his speech yesterday; he asked the crowd their opinion of Ayotte.  To tell you the truth, I was caught by surprise by the reaction to the question:

First Annual Strong NH Conference: Mike Biundo

The next speaker at the First Annual strong NH Conference was Mike Biundo.  As an activist, I’ve known Mike for a number of years and have always seen him as a gentleman.  While we disagree on a few issues, we have also joined forces on more than one ocassion in defending and advocating for Liberty and Freedom, for a more limited government.  After working on the Rick Santorum and Romney campaigns, he started RightOn Strategies (along with Derek Dufresne and Kory Wood).

Here, he talks about time to get even more active – and get your friends and neighbors involved too!  We have the ability, in NH, to make a difference.  Join us – we are NH based and we live here – all the time.

Nashua Paper Shills For Voter Fraud – Again

Martha's Motel Martha Fuller Clark home to out of state vote stealersOnce again the Nashua paper fails to ask the questions that would expose voter fraud – they have been doing this since 2001 that I know of.

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/1018588-469/obama-campaign-worker-living-with-mangipudi-voted.html

Here is the scam:

An out of state campaign worker steals a NH vote from the home of a NH resident, usually a liberal Democrat like State Senator Martha Fuller Clark, or in this case a Nashua activist and Democrat candidate Latha Mangipudi.

Then into the mix comes the pro-voter fraud excuses from the Nashua Moderator and some person in the AG’s office to make excuses for the out of state voter.

You would think they would tire of this game but no, winning elections for progressives is way too important than clean elections.

They cling desperately to some worn thin half truths about NH election Law.

Here we go with that nonsense from the AG cover up of State Senator Clark’s four non-resident voters the Nashua paper uses in this story:

GOP Should Stop Looking To ‘New Coke’ for Answers

GOP wants to be new_cokeNew Jersey Governor Chris Christie argued that you must first ‘Get Republicans’ Elected if you want policy decisions made from a Republican perspective.

To my ear that admonition is little different from the phrase ‘We need more” teachers (cops, firefighters, social workers).  The result of more of any of those things is not necessarily better education, safer streets, fewer fires, or stronger families.   You will produce bigger budgets, higher taxes, and more bureaucracy, but that is about all you can guarantee.

You get the exact same result when the nostrum for the GOP’s misfortune hinges entirely on the idea that all we must do is elect someone with an (R) after their name. We just need more republicans.

Surrounded – Pete Silva Needs Your Help In Nashua New Hampshire

Pete Silva is running for the New Hampshire House, but are the odds stacked against him?So tell me again - vote stealing activists use NH Democrat Martha Fuller Clarks house to vote from

We already pointed out that his opponent in the race, NH Democrat Latha Mangipudi, harbored an NH-AG Approved™ transient ballot-box stuffer at her home in 2012.

Pete’s old neighbors, David Tarbay and Linda Ziman, sold their house in 1997 to Kevin and Donna Collins.  Tarbay and Ziman have not lived there for 15 years (Ziman owns a home in Maynard, MA) but they loved that old house so much that in November 2012 they voted absentee in New Hampshire from that 15 year old Nashua address, the election in which Silva lost his seat.  Oh, and they voted absentee from that address in 2008 as well.

And as if that were not bad enough…

Left is Right, Down is Up

The willingness of sheeple fo be lead never ceses to amaze me. Consider. The party in power (Democrats), just a few years ago, was aghast at the fiscal state of the nation.  With nearly 9 trillion in debt, they were comparing the Federal government’s fiscal path as an assault on future generations.  At the time … Read more
