Notable Quote – William Anderson and David Kiriazis

Only a question? Could it be that the institutional racism of Jim Crow occurred not despite the Progressive era but because of it? Not only did the Progressive reforms create new economic rents that could be exploited by whites and by the politicians who enacted those reforms, but many leading Progressives espoused views on racial … Read more

Nashua GOP “Steak Out” – Exploratory candidates for US Senate (plus Intro ceremonies)

Of course, doing the interview with Col. Allen West not was not the only reason why we went to the Nashua GOP “Steak Out” – he was, after all, the featured speaker and that speech will be posted later on.  However, this event is also about local races – State wide and local as the Federal positions are up for grabs (both Congressional seats and one of the Senatorial ones).  We’ll start off with the Congressional ones in CD-2 (No one for CD-1, I guess):

Nashua GOP “Steak Out” – Exploratory candidate for NH Governor George Lambert and NH House Special Election Candidate Pete Silva

NH State Representative George Lambert, in looking around the status of the State stemming from former Democrat Governor John Lynch and now Democrat Governor Maggie “The Red” Hassan, is also deciding on a race.  At last night’s Nashua GOP Steak Out, I do believe that he was the only candidate that actually stayed within the … Read more

Nashua GOP “Steak Out” – Featured Speaker: Lt. Col. Allen West

Home is Where The Vote Fraud Is

Democrats in NH let out of staters and campaing hacks vote from their homesIf we called Ben Rous’ home in Virginia and asked his wife where her husband ‘lives,’ do you think she’d  say 50 Adams Point Road in Durham New Hampshire?

Ben is the adult son of New Hampshire Democrat Emma Rous (Former Democrat House Rep).  Emma lives at 50 Adams Point Road in Durham New Hampshire?  Ben ‘lived’ at his mom’s house in 2012 long enough to register to vote there, before going back to Virgina where he happens to be a conductor for the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.  That’s one bitch of a commute to have to make just to get to work if you’re actually trying to convince anyone you are still  “living” in Durham New Hampshire…just so you can vote here.

PPNE and Planned Parenthood NH to Get $145,461.00 from HHS to Promote Obama-Care

Planned parenthood of New Hampshire has been ‘hired’ by Kath(lean-forward) Sebelius to hawk ObamaCare to the unwashed masses.pot-of-Money

From Iowa Watchdog.org (emphasis theirs)

Planned Parenthood partners in three states – Montana, Iowa and New Hampshire – will receive money under the HHS navigator program.

The Montana-based Intermountain Planned Parenthood will receive $214,000, the Iowa-based Planned Parenthood of the Heartland gets $214,427 and the New Hampshire-based Planned Parenthood of Northern New England will pocket $145,461.

For $145,00o.oo dollars I might be willing to tell people about Obama-Care as well.

OK, I’d tell them to call their legislators and de-fund it, water-board it, end it, cancel it, give it end of life counseling, anything to make it go away or at the very least keep it out of the Granite State.  But that would be a bargain if it worked.  We’d save trillions for a pittance.

But that’s now it’s going to work.   They’re going to funnel more of your money into the crony-network of aiders and abetters.

Obama’s Revolutionary Second-Term Definfing Plan – It’s Been in Place Since 1997

In search of a second term defining plan, the Obama team is our running a PR campaign on an effort they claim is new and innovative–so much so that it may define Mr. Obama’s second term as President.

They want to spend billions on getting High Speed internet to every classroom in America, a program they are calling ConnectEd.  They are even willing to do it without congress if they have to (big suprise there), funding it through an increase in FCC fees on mobile phone users.

But they don’t have to.  Congress passed and Bill Clinton signed,  back in 1996, a plan that has empowered the FCC since 1997 to spend up 2.5 billion annually to do exactly what the Obama Team is trying to sell as a cutting edge idea today.

How old were they really??

founding-fathers-declaration-of-independenceI always thought that they were relatively old – or as my sons now say – my age.  Progressives denigrate them as old white guys (have have no moral standing because of slavery or kicking the American Indians off their land or something) – emphasis on Old.  Founding Fathers kinda denotes “older” but here’s a list from the Journal of the American Revolution that gives us the ages of those from our history and their ages on July 4, 1776 (er, corrected from type of 1774, thx to LoneStarGrok) -surprised the heck out of me!

War on Coal – battleground Ohio

Laser Beam on Coal JobsThe EPA is nothing more than Obama’s own “hatchet man” that is implemented his policy of Determined Weakness (TM) in the energy industry. Since he is above the Law and above the Constitution, our Constitutional Lecturer (and he has never stopped lecturing us) President, Obama can and is simply ignoring the fact that Congress never passed a Cap N Trade bill or a Carbon Tax bill.  No matter, he just can WAIT to do it on his own (it boosts his self-esteem by making him feel kingly).

For this, IMHO, he’s joined forces with the Enviromentalists that have infested the EPA and Interior Department  that believe that we Americans use way too much energy – and now we shall pay for our past sins.

LENCO Berarcat Law Enforcement Vehicle

Used to be, only the large urban metropolitan areas had a SWAT team.  Then, smaller cities got them.  Now, many small and medium-sized towns are thinking about it, working to raise the funds to buy gear, equipment, and weapons.

One has to ask: Why and what are they preparing for?

And why does Concord, NH need one of these?
