I received an email from Gary Krupp that I got permission to share below.  There is also an event posted on Facebook related to this: https://www.facebook.com/events/203995136445185/

You may have heard of the Common Core State education standards.  There has been quite a bit of press about it recently with the Alton, NH School Board voting to reject the standards and the Manchester School Board on the verge of a similar vote.  Many States accross the country are also slowing down or reversing course on using the new standards.  NH is just starting to have its public debate on the matter.

Whatever your opinion on Common Core, this is the most significant change to public education in the last 30 years.  The State Education Commissioner, Dr. Virgina Barry, is coming to the Bedford High School on Monday, Sep 30th at 7:00 PM to talk to administrators and school board members from districts in the South Central NH region.  This meeting was initially closed to the public but Dr. Barry reversed that decision thanks to prompting from the press (radio host Rich Girard from “Girard at Large”).  This means we have a golden opportunity to hear direct from the Commissioner with our own ears about NH’s vision for implementing Common Core.

Er, not so much.  I wasn’t going to write this (at least, first off) but when I heard Mitch McConnell, the top wimp in the US Senate, say this:

“It all adds up to just one thing – a law in trouble. A law that needs to be repealed.  That’s the goal of every Republican in the caucus”.

No longer “stopped” – merely “repealed”.  Safe words, weaselly words – a word that says to the LIVs (Low Information Voters) “we gonna keep on working on this!” but really means “we have no intention of risking ourselves and our careers over Obamacare”.  Sorry dude, you did just that.  You Republican chuckleheads have campaigned on stopping this socialized “camel nose under the tent” Obamacare law since it passed.  “Stop” means “stop by any means” – including at any and every possible point to keep that law from being more fully implemented – which defunding it would do.

But Republicans in the Senate couldn’t and wouldn’t live up to that promise, could you?  Do you really think that swapping one word out, “stop”, for another, “repeal” that we (the base) would get hoodwinked by this switch in tactic similar in nature to Obama’s continual blame game: “don’t blame me!  don’t blame us!”.

Here are the 19 names, the “Freedom Guard” (that wished to keep that promise) that voted against cloture:

Iran – that’s the country that violated our sovereign territory, invaded our embassy, and held our hostages while Jimmy Carter was President.  Iran – the country that has been refining uranium in sufficient quality and quantity to build the bomb that could carry out their oft screamed promise to wipe Israel off the map.  The country that supplied Al Qaeda (Iraq) and the Taliban (Afghanistan) with weapons that were used to kill our soldiers – including the shaped charged explosives just a little bit of time ago.  And just got caught hacking our Navy’s computers.

Obama believes that he, Lurch Kerry, and TOTUS can just wave their arms, say the “soft power” words, and Iran will snap into Obama’s line.

No negotiations – no preconceived needs – in order to have these TRUE theocrats to speak to the President of the United States on equal terms – AS equals.  In the past, with strong Presidents with a strong US with a strong reputation, this would never have EVER happened.  Well, with Obama’s policy of Determined Weakness, it does seem that Obama has brought America’s reputation to, pretty much, equal with Iran’s.

As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, “If I’m going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman.”

She removes all her clothing and asks, “Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?”

A man stands up, removes his shirt and says,

Oh yes, those “I’m a Healthcare Voter!” days of 2007 and 2008 – Unionistas from the SEIU union (pretty much, not much more than a socialist front, IMHO) joined forces with AARP in trying to persuade voters that Universal Healthcare was needed or the country would end up in ruin.  AKA, Obamacare.  They invaded almost every event on the Right – this “Healthcare Voter” was at a McCain rally in Franklin, NH – and yes, she wanted us all to take care of her.  The SEIU put its all into preparing the battlefield space and getting Democrats voted into DC office.  They succeeded beyond belief – the Dems ran the table and captured the US House, Senate, and the Presidency.  And in that two years, Obamacare was spawned out of every Socialist’s idea of what Government could now to [for] everyone – and at the same time, take revenge on the ‘Evil people”.  “Unicorns and fairy dust is now real and for everyone!” was the cry

Well, given all of the self-induced problems we’ve seen lately, it seems that what is apparently “in ruin” is going to be the rollout of Obamacare in 5 days as it seems everyday for the last couple of weeks, “features” of the online Exchanges. The fantasy of Unicorns and fairy dust has proven to be just that – and now the IT folks are on their knees praying pretty hard – feature after feature keep getting put off to the point that small biz owners will have to FAX in their requirements – and maybe hear back in a month (and that might be an even bigger fantasy). And now, it has swung around and bit the SEIU in the butt (emphasis mine, reformatted):

 Members of the Columbus, Ohio-based Service Employees International Union Local 1 have gone on strike over recent job cuts by a janitorial company called Professional Maintenance.  The reason for the cuts?  The employer says it is because of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. This is ironic since SEIU is a major supporter of the law.

Patient advocates say the exclusion of one of Missouri’s top hospital systems from policies offered by the region’s biggest insurer under the Affordable Care Act could hinder treatment for some patients and force others to switch doctors.

The network for the Anthem BlueCross BlueShield plans, which will be sold through Missouri’s “Obamacare” marketplace, does not include BJC HealthCare and its 13 hospitals — among them Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the area’s premier academic medical center, and St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Arbitrary regulations established in the Democrat Parties signature health-care overhaul (more like a brutal mugging) has just clipped big Bird’s wings.

Employees at Sesame Place, the Pennsylvania theme park base on the children’s television show, will be getting their hours reduced because the cost burdens forced on the owner and their insurer, by the Democrats health care mandate, make keeping current hours and coverage impossible.

Ernie, Burt, Big  Bird, and everyone else, or at least the people who dress up as these characters, will not just be earning less, they will be dumped into the state insurance exchange, whenever it is that the thing will actually be up and running.

On Tuesday a new anti-self defense law will take effect in Maryland.  The law bans 45 types of firearms–current owners can keep the ones they already own (for now), and limits magazines to 10 rounds.  Most of the weapons are (I beleive) rifles, AR’s, you know, whatever looks scary to a Democrat.  But a number of groups have filed for an injunction as part of a suit to overturn the law.

Democrat Governor Martin O’Malley–the guy speaking at this years NH Democrats Marxist Clambake–(someone the NH Dems had speak at their state convention last year), thinks it will make his state safer.
