“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 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 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…

Remember that argument?  That Government spends far less on administrative costs, 2-3%,  so that ALONE is a good thing (with the implied meaning that the Government can do as well as private insurance (who were around 20-25%).  What they didn’t ever want to talk about was the fraud in the Government’s Medicare / Medicaid system with a run rate of around $80 Billion (although I have heard of lower ones of $50 – 60 Billion).  Private insurance spent more as a percentage basis (4-7%) but their fraud rates were far, far less; spend a little more percentage wise to find it and spend FAR less in outgoes due to fraud (“Fraud, about 9 % of the Medicare budget“) – see:

Or take Medicare. Other than the source of its premiums, Medicare is no different, economically, than a regular health-insurance company. But unlike, say, UnitedHealthcare, it is a bureaucracy-beclotted nightmare, riven with waste and fraud.

The New Hampshire Citizens Alliance (NHCA) and the New Hampshire Citizens Alliance for Action (NHCAA) have been pretending to operate as a grassroots, non-partsian, group with tax exempt status for years.  This is not only untrue it is virtually impossible.

The NHCA and NHCAA are the local chapter of USAction which..

… empowers our state affiliates by providing funding, training and leadership development.  We also work in partnership with our affiliates to develop strategic national civic engagement and issues-based campaigns.

To what end?  Well, USAction used to be very up front about that but they have since scrubbed their website to hide the fact they are proud to be “The Nations largest progressive activist organization.”    An activist organization that funds and trains affiliates (NHCA/HNCAA) to do what?  Well, they used to be upfront about that as well.  Take a look at the list and see if you can guess why they scrubbed it…

“fighting the right wing agenda”;…

Sounds partisan enough to me.  But wait!  There’s more…

School districts from LA to NY are complaining and now a few of them are taking matters into their own hands.

“We’re eating more junk food, now, than last year”, a student from the Los Angeles Unified School District explained in December of 2011.

We’re talking about Michelle Obama’s Healthy Kids Hungry act, passed by lame-duck Democrats in the waning days after the Democrats got mauled in the 2010 elections.  It sucked then.  It sucks now.

The Government limits the choices by force of law but human nature (and natures laws) trump man made laws every time so the kids end up skipping the Michelle-O in favor of quick alternatives.   So the law effectively creates more harm because it presumes to know the minds, tastes, and needs of everyone everywhere, as viewed from the backs of nutrition unicorns prancing around inside the blue bubbles that pass for “the way the whole world thinks according to progressive busy-bodies.”
