If you allow a Christian moral code to drive your life it won’t be long before some secular-humanist decides that what you really want is a theocracy. Given this lack of intellectual agility we should then not be at all surprised when the same people, more often than not willful denizens of the Progressive Plantation, encourage the political Gods in DC to do their regulatin’ for them.  Put another way; if you can’t get it passed at the state level get er done from DC.

It’s the Democrat Party equivalent of divine intervention.  Thou shalt not let the state legislature stop you from having what you are certain is best for everyone else even if they don’t want it.   In this instance we refer to automated license plate readers.  The New Hampshire State Legislature tabled the bill sponsored by Democrat Deputy Dawg Stephen Shurtleff, citing privacy concerns.

So did Shurtleff or some other New Hampshire Democrat call the Democrat parties representative to New Hampshire, Carol Shea-Porter, to get done by Federal commandment what could not be done at the State level?

At the tail end of this post, I asked these questions…

How about NH AG Joseph Foster, former NH Democrat State Senator?  He quite clearly opposes stand your ground, without which George Zimmerman might actually be dead.   It might be good to hear him (the AG) speak just as plainly on the matter of Mr. Zimmerman’s trial, the evidence, his declared innocence (by a jury of peers), if AG Foster thought Mr. Zimmerman should have just let Trayvon beat the sh*t out of him near-to or to the point of his own death, and–of course–on the matter of groups placing bounties on the heads of New Hampshire citizens just because they don’t agree with a Jury’s verdict.  We’d love to hear his thoughts on that as well.

Seeing as AG Foster has publicly re-stated his opposition on SYG in the wake of this trial, and invoked AG Holder’s most recent political anti-gun chess move as his motivation, and declared a need for the legislature to take another look at repealing it in New Hampshire, I think the people of New Hampshire deserve a second look at their Attorney Generals views on the circumstances as noted above.

As if the TEA Party targeting wasn’t enough, NOW we find out that the IRS decided to “pull an Illinois”.  Remember back in 2007 when Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher seriously questioned candidate Obama’s Socialist idea of that wealth redistribution was such a great economic policy (“I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”)?  Yeah, what happened right afterwards has been a hallmark of the Obama Administrations minions (either by or sans direct orders) – State of Illinois bureaucrats started to illegally mine their  State’s databases  to dig up dirt on Joe.

Aw, those good old days, those WONDERFUL memories brought to us by “The Chicago Way” devotees – and now refreshed by our friends at the IRS!  Decided to run as a political candidate?  Decided to donate some Big $$ to said candidate(s)?  Your friends at the IRS decided to do a wee bit of digging on your behalf:

Congressperson Carol Shea-Kuster, Ann McLane Porter, Annie “Grabbed your Camera Kuster”… I’ll just go back to calling her McKluster, posed for a picture (no I do not believe she snatched the camera away or said F.You to the photographer) which she has reportedly had posted on her facebook page.   (Concord Monitor Lizard)

Most of the photographs used by politicians to promote themselves are tiresome in the extreme: the dark suit, the carefully coiffed hair, the frozen smile. In that context, the picture used these days by 2nd District Rep. Annie Kuster on her official Facebook page is all the more startling, refreshing and cool.

Kuster’s photograph shows her with a swatch of silver-gray duct tape covering her mouth. On her left cheek, in black and red paint, is the symbol “NOH8.” With her right hand, she has two fingers (Peace? Victory?) pointed at her temple.

I’m sorry Concord Monitor Lizard.  What exactly is so startling about a progressive rubber stamp pandering to one of her so-called victim classes?

And one would think that in the political center of American politics (no, not the State capitals as it once was supposed to be), Washington, D.C., with all of the patriotic statues and words by politicians (of both sides), this would be a no-brainer, something that happens all the time.  Sadly, just the fact that some intern had to write this and bring up this subject say much about the real climate in DC and the utter divide that that lays between not just the Left and Right, but from the Smart People in government who used to serve those of us “in the hinterlands”.  A perfect example, and result of, the difference between the Coasts and fly-over country in how each views this country and what each holds dear about this place we call home.  Pride of Country used to be taken for granted – now, because of Political Correctness, you could be an outcast at a party for saying just that.  Yet, this has gone viral:

From The Corner:

“Only lawyers now can argue before Supreme Court.” That was the headline over this article. I’m sure that the new rule makes sense: that you have to be a lawyer, to argue before the Supreme Court. The last time a non-lawyer argued, it was 1978.

Still, doesn’t the professionalization of everything make you slightly uneasy?

Indeed!  Before Government (at any level) starts to touch a new area of Civil Society (before it totally absorbs it a la The Borg), it is Citizens living and interacting in voluntary fashions to, well, live their lives.  Have an interest, an activity you do with others, or something that you feel “hey, this is the US – I should be able to do anything!”, right?  Instead, the Bigger that Government gets, the more it costs – no, not in that it just keeps adding people to it and the cost of the payroll for those people skyrockets.  Rather, it requires, as the above suggests, that everyone that deals with Government has to become more expensive as well.

Two more examples are personal:
