Or you end up with “how DARE you blame me what what I said” weasel words:

“First of all, I didn’t set a red line,” Barack Obama said today at a press conference in Stockholm. “The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98% of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are [sic] abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are engaged in war.”

Once again, another politician that has forgotten that the Internet doesn’t:

We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation.

No, Prez Wishes-He-Was-Teflon, you can’t withdraw your “War” vote with a “Present” vote by blaming everyone else in the world.

“The King is dead, long live the King” – ok, so not so much a monarchy in the NH State Senate (that would be reserved for the current denizen of the Secretary of State (who has been living (politically) the first half of the Vulcan good-bye).  However, Bragdon decided that the LGC position was more preferable to that of being NH State Senate President and so another election was needed (and now will a future election have Bragdon solely concerned with the business of the LGC? There are some names out in the wings on the Republican side that may be biding their time).  Long live [next] King President Chuck Morse; for all of his talk of being conservative, the proof will be in the actions and not the words.  Certainly he has a couple of weighty issues on his placemat – the question will be, what will be the track that will be taken?  Certainly there will be his vote that can show us which but how he handles assignments, interacts with the House and Hassan – let’s go with the political scale:  the fairly moderate Bragdon in the center or more of a truer conservative with Bill O’Brien on the Right?

Pindell has already made his thoughts known:

1. Things are about to get more partisan in Concord
2. Good for gambling
3. Republicans will have more of an in-state leader

For the purposes of this post, I don’t care about #2 but the issues I raised above really depends on #1.  If that turns out that Pindell’s #1 becomes true, it means that Morse has gone Rightward (or, perhaps better stated, walks the talk).  By definition, he will have to disagree with the Progressive Dems of the House, the Progressive Dem in the corner office, and then is willing to do political battle with Dems in the Senate – is that how he will ascend to the throne, to make the split from being simply a colleague to, well, the boss (in a manner of speaking).  As he contemplates this change, will he keep the “Republican bar”:

As Progressivism is morphing to take over our Constitutional Republic:

That’s a culture under full-scale assault these days. One of the core assumptions of Obama-style technocratic government is that private businesses, customers, and employees cannot be trusted to engage in commerce with each other. The benevolent State must oversee every transaction, from paychecks to purchases. People have been taught to hate and fear their employers, who are portrayed in Obama mythology as heartless predators, scarcely aware of the hapless Little People they gobble up in their quest for outrageous wealth. (“You didn’t build that! Someone else made that happen!”)

In truth, Cruz pointed out, the real divide is between predatory government and its dependents – many of whom are millionaires – versus a rapidly dwindling private-sector working America. The people who cash paychecks should not allow themselves to be manipulated into hating the people who write them. They have a lot more in common than leftist pop culture likes to acknowledge.

– John Hayward, RedState

And as we move from Free Marketplace to a Limited Markeplace to Crony Capitalism, remember that:

• Obamacare is nothing more than a shill for a single payer system: healthcare nationalized
• Student loans – nationalized by Government already, it is now, yet again, in crisis – so Obama wants to start the nationalization of Higher Ed industry.
• EPA is nationalizing what energy sources will be permitted, grabbing for Federalizing water, and determining how we are to live our lives simply because we all exude CO2
• EPA / HUD, DOT’ ustainable Communities Initiative is determining where we can live, how we can live, how we can travel – and where we can no longer go
• Via Common Core – the Federalization of formerly local control of education is moving FORWARD!

It’s been an entire day and I don’t think we’ve seen on apology.  Perhaps we have.  I could have missed it.  But typically, if something like this emerges from the mouth of a Republican or a Libertarian, or perhaps myself, the Democrats are tripping over themselves to be the first to demand that everyone who ever even knew a Republican to denounce it and demand an apology.

Eileen Spratt Ehlers wants to know ‘”Why is she dressed up like a 20-year old virgin bride?”

Democrat House Rep (Former Merr-09) Eileen Spratt Ehlers, active in the party don’t you know, is referring to the very lovely bride of Republican Rep Al Baldasaro.  And it is a compund insult of epic proportion.  The remark is about a woman, a family member of a New Hampshire politician, it insults what she is wearing, is ageist, sexist, and questions her qualifications for wearing white.

Are we just supposed to be happy she didn’t threaten to beat her with a bat?

On September 1st Seacoast Online wrote that…

Obama long ago said the use of chemical weapons was a “red line” Assad would not be allowed to cross with impunity.

August 28th, Nashua Telegraph…

Obama has said the use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line,” suggesting it would trigger U.S. intervention in the bloody, two-year civil war.

About a week earlier at Portsmouth Herald/Seacoast Online…

When the anti-gun violence polices you demand we implement consistently demonstrate that more people will be killed and more people will be killed by guns, and you leave that out of your “conversation about ant-gun violence,”  people should be suspicious of your actual intentions.

And so you should be suspicious of OFA and Minnesota based Granite State Progress, which have been spear-heading the Democrat parties progressive anti-gun violence campaign in New Hampshire.

OFA held a real rip roaring anti-gun violence Rally in Nashua a few weeks back.   Almost no one showed up.  Sure, they did better than the ProgressNow’s pro-NH-Medicaid Expansion Rally in Concord where no one showed up and they had to hide that epic failure by claiming it was moved inside the chamber.  Yeah.  You know what was inside the chamber?  The hearing.    You don’t need to pull a permit or have your attendance at the hearing recorded on the calendar as a rally, which is what Minnesota based Granite State Progress had done.

And now the same Minnesota based Granite State progress seems to think it’s time to talk about gun violence again.   I agree.  Let’s talk about gun violence.

This morning, Ed Naile of CNHT and I were on with ‘Grok friend Jeff Chidester on The Morning Buzz from 8am to 9am this morning (like I told Jeff, thanks for letting me drive down from the Lakes Region in the middle of a torrential rain / constant lightning thunderstorm – I’ll remember that for next time).  Although there are TONS of stuff going one (f’instance, Jeff and his producer Jen Well (who I finally got to meet for the first time after talking to her on the phone multiple times!), we stayed pretty much on what we’ve been reporting on the ‘Grok for Voter Fraud.

Updated and bumped: Here are the first two segments from yesterday’s show – thanks to Jen Wells for sending it!  download or play

We’ve written a few posts about the Henniker, New Hampshire ZBA going after Forster’s Christmas Tree Farm (here, here, here, here, and here).  Well, we’re back.

Forster’s has taken their fight for RSA 31:24a, which clearly provides for the activity the Henniker Board denied, to Merrimack County Court.  It is a fight for all of our property rights against local boards, committees, and seletman who would ignore the law for their own purpose, regardless of what those purposes might be.  There is a hearing today at 1pm.  Anyone that can be there for moral support is encouraged to attend.

Here is a snippet of an email Steve Forster sent out to those who have been supporting his defense against the town of Henniker.

File this under New Hampshire Democrats Bringing Civility back to whatever.  NH House Rep Al Baldasaro got married and posted some pictures on Facebook.  New Hampshire Liberals Peter Sullivan, Tess Smith, and Eileen Spratt Ehler (those were the only ones I could see in the screen grab), couldn’t contain their hate and derision of Republicans because there were members of the wedding party holding guns in some of the photo’s.

Talk about living rent free in Peter Sullivan’s head.  It really is that easy.

Unlike Zandra Rice Hawkins, I don’t get paid by a group like Minnesota based ProgressNow (with big progressive ATM’s in Colorado and Nevada) to be a political activist.  Zandra is also and or has been paid to be a lobbyist, creator of victims of violence (she is anti-self defense), and as an all purpose 24/7 axe grinder for the progressive agenda, which is why ProgressNow funds and supports Granite State Progress in New Hampshire.

I’m just a taxpayer happy to even have a regular job (no raises since Obama was elected though, thank you Zandra), family, wife, kids, dog, yard, and so on.  I quite often miss or overlook things of a political nature that might be worthy of my attention.   I’m not sure this is worthy but it creates an opportunity to explore the topic of faux-outrage from the professional left.
