A kid gets suspended from school when shaping a Pop Tart, bite by bite, into a sweet simulacrum of a pastry pistol; an eighth-grader gets arrested and suspended from school for donning a T-Shirt stamped with a NRA logo; a kindergartner gets suspended for 10 days with the additional bonus of urine soaked pants because school “officials” scolded him to the point he wet himself in fear, all because the little chap brought a menacing looking orange-tipped toy gun to school. These are the anti-gun, zero tolerance, common sense scuttling times in which we live. You best not breach that 0.001 tolerance threshold or else you’ll find yourself in a cell, out of school, and your pants reeking of urine.

No exceptions.

Just kidding, of course there are exceptions. But in order to qualify for them, you need to be a member of the elite governing class or at least contribute to it in some way (ahem… cough… financially), or so it would seem.

Take a recent escapade by an aide to the staunch pro-gun control Democrat

The Manchester paper is reporting that the NH AG needs a few more weeks to complete their investigation of (now) former New London Police Chief David Seastrand,  Seastrand was alleged to have offered to drop charges against a Colby Saywer College student if she agreed to pose nude for him.   She refused and called the AG.  Smart girl.  But to what end?  As I observed back on April 4th…

Seastrand has 27 years in.  What are the odds this is the first time he’s used his position of power for his personal advantage or pleasure?  And now he gets to retire at what, maybe 50 years of age?  So the AG just lets him walk away, no in depth investigation, and very likely with his full pension.    Not exactly a punishment is it?  You get caught using your police powers to bully a woman and they make you quit without charging you and (assuming he’s keeping his pension) give you a big bag of money every year until you die.

Exit question:  Does anyone else come forward, Tiger Woods style, to start piling up accusations of improper conduct or does Seastrand retire in modest comfort and melt into the landscape?

We got the answer to both those questions.

Much has been written lately about how “the base”, the conservative / libertarian / constitutional / TEA Party wing of the party – the grassroots, are starting to really turn the Evil Eye upon the other part of the Party.  That would be those that write the talk, talk the talk, and then act and vote opposite way.  Often times, with disdain for the base and with their eyes on the political advantage instead of doing what they should be: standing up for and protecting the Values for which we sent them there.  Promise to cut the budget?  You’d better do that.  Promise to do something else?

Yeah, it’s called Keeping Your Word.  Build our Trust with you – don’t break it in being “pragmatic” or so that you can reach being a Ranking Member or Chair one day.  Or Leadership.  After all, it isn’t about the Win to Get The Power – it is what you do with it once WE help you win.  And yes, we Watch.  And last night I watched a PERFECT example of how the Republican Party continues to play small ball and excuse their way out of doing the right thing.  Sure, they’ve had 37 votes in the House to repeal Obamacare – meaningless votes except for the rubes who believe they actually accomplished anything.

Those of us who actually KNOW, have been waiting for them to do The Right Thing – which of course, they have refused to do and yakked their excuses all around it.  PERFECT Example?  I listened to the Hannity show last nite with Eric Cantor, part of the Leadership in the US House of Representatives.  Sean had THE question that most of us in the grassroots want answered: “Would you use the option to defund Obamacare ’cause that is in your authority?”

Disappointed was my reaction:

“If you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?”   —Steven Wright

As Reported on Fox News yesterday, A new Android app asks users to expose the home addresses of gun owners they deem “potentially unsafe” — and share that information with the world.

The Gun Geo Marker app, a lecturer with the Visual Arts department of the University of California, San Diego, is the creator of this Android app. Geo Gun marker was released to Google’s Play app store this past Sunday.  The app invites users to mark the homes and businesses of “suspected unsafe gun owners … to help others in the area learn about their geography of risk from gun accidents or violence.” 

Stalbaum, tells Fox News he has received threats over the app and says…

The top story on the New Hampshire Right this morning (hinted at here by Groksterette Susan Olson) is news that Gun Manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., which has a large facility in the Granite State, will be expanding someplace other than New Hampshire.

Company President Michael O. Fifer told shareholders at their annual meeting in May that the $30 million expansion would not be in New England.

…

The company had a long list of factors, including a preference for a right-to-work state, where workers cannot be required to pay union dues if they choose not to join one. “Right-to-work state was one of our criteria,” Reed said.

The siren song has risen.  If only we had passed Right to Work.  We had the opportunity.  Over on Facebook NH House Rep Bill O’Brien, the NH House Speaker during our last best opportunity to pass it here, observes correctly that…

The money trail used by gun-grabbers and anti-second amendment liberal/progressive Democrats to buy influence and peddle failed out of state policy through groups like Granite State Progress is becoming a bit more clear.

There has been a great deal of financial activity between a trio of deep pocketed Liberal anti-self defense groups.  Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), which is the Bloomberg (and Boston Mayor Menino) group that just shamed themselves in Concord, New Hampshire a few weeks back.  United Against Illegal Guns (UAIG) is a New York, NY based anti-gun money funnel.   And the third group is The Joyce Foundation, on whose board President Obama once served.  The Joyce Foundation is well funded by Liberal millionaires and billionaires and supports a manifold of left-wing policy ideas of which one is the disarming of Americans in any way possible.

You’ll be happy to know that this trail has tendrils that lead to groups working right here in New Hampshire.  Groups that helped coordinate the Bloomberg Bus ‘No More Names’ Tour visit.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”

– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Uh-oh – this isn’t going to help “the Government works right” meme, eh Barack?  You know, that implicit Progressive Boast that Government is “capable”?  Well, the series of scandals, often seemingly by his political appointees and certainly by those on his ideological bus, has put a frown on that.  Certainly the IRS, targeting TEA Party groups simply because of a political disagreement, strikes even more fear of the most feared agency in the Federal Government.  But wasn’t that kinda the plan?
