Zandra “Rice-Out-Of-State-Palooza” Hawkins

Out of State funded, Colorado Model, intrusive Democrat Agenda-thumper Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite State Progress, is a progressive mole, and paid lobbyist, planted by the out of state agenda-mill Progress Now to operate as a “local” left wing propaganda machine.  (Progress Now is an extension or partner with Democracy Alliance   both of which are funded by politically connected liberal millionaires none of whom are from or live in New Hampshire).

Out-of-state-funded-So-called in-state activist Hawkins latest event featured out of state parents whose children were tragically killed in a different state from ours,  so that they could come here and tell our US Senator (Kelly Ayotte) how she should vote.

Carol Shea-Porter: The Federal Governments Representative To New Hampshire CD- 1

I have long and often argued that Democrats, New Hampshire’s variety in particular, favor the top down model of governance.  The power and the resources (money) must descend from the point farthest from the person who is taxed for the privilege of being governed by progressives.

A prime example or proof of this “theory” is the desire to “get back” tax dollars from Washington DC.  Democrats argue that we need representatives to go to Washington who will work hard to get back the money we send to the nations capital as federal taxes.   But they have it exactly backwards.  We send representatives to the nations capital to do everything in their power to keep the money in New Hampshire in the first place.

The contrast between the two could not be more stark.

Shaheen Received Money from IRS Employees Union

Open Secrets identifies the National Treasury Employees Union, which covers the IRS, as Liberal.  Go figure?

They only donate to Democrats, which includes New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, according to this recent press release…

Senate Democrats received more than $570,000 from IRS Union

Washington, D.C. – This week news broke that Senate Democrats were guilty of pressuring the IRS to target many of the conservative groups that the embattled agency now stands accused of doing.  But, a closer look reveals further evidence of Jeanne Shaheen’s feigning outrage: Shaheen was reaping the benefits from Democrats’ close relationship with the IRS, receiving $5,000 from the IRS Employees Union.

“While Democrats were pushing the IRS to target conservatives and other political enemies, their campaigns benefited from more than half a million dollars in campaign contributions from the IRS union,” said NRSC Communications Director Brad Dayspring. “After years of pressuring the IRS to crackdown on their political opponents, Jeanne Shaheen and her Democratic colleagues must be honest with taxpayers and return the IRS union’s contributions immediately.”

Senator Shaheen has been backtracking, back-peddling, disavowing any partisanship on the 501(c)(4) IRS scandal, but given how partisan she is, that’s hard to swallow.  you’d be hard pressed to find her supporting the rights of TEA party groups anywhere, let alone New Hampshire.

So would you be surprised to know that she isn’t the only hyper-partisan New Hampshire Democrat who has taken issue with third party issue advocacy and targeted TEA Party groups (though  not in writing to the IRS–that we are aw are of) and has also taken money from their union.

Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) outlines every American’s fear of the Tyrannical IRS

Note: be sure to listen to the resounding applause he got at this Congressional hearing concerning the IRS scandal of “punish your enemies” [Obama] in presenting actual Tyranny to those groups and individuals that expressed a political thought against the ruling regime of President Obama and the Progressives he represents.

Listen to the description of the IRS that is given by Kelly and ask yourself:

“This reconfirms everything that the American public believes. This is a HUGE blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government.

Is there ANY limit to the scope of where you folks can go?….Is there anything at all?  Is there anyway that we can ask you, is there any question that you shouldn’t have asked, Mike?  Goodness, how much money do you have in your wallet?  Who do you get emails from? Whose sign do you put up in your front yard?

This is a tax question?  You don’t think that’s intimidating? it’s sure as hell intimidating!”

Transformation Milestone Reached, Is This Still America? Geographically Maybe.

Today, we passed a milestone on the Fundamentally Transforming America Highway.  It wasn’t noticeable visually but audibly during the Congressional Hearing on the recently disclosed IRS abuses.  The abuses where the Federal Government is targeting its own citizen’s based on their political beliefs.  The following exchange between Representative Kevin Brady of Congress and the Former Acting head apparatchik of the tyrannical bureaucracy the IRS, Steven Miller,  courtesy of Mail Online (emphasis mine):

 “Texas Republican congressman Kevin Brady had the harshest criticism for Miller.

‘Is this still America?’ he asked him.

‘Is this government so drunk on power that it would turn its full force, its full might, to harass, and intimidate, and threaten an average American who only wants her voice, their voices heard?’

The apparatchik later went on to say

Another example of Western culture committing suicide: the Flag of St George is unPC – in ENGLAND???

Flag of St GeorgeThe national flag of England is not the Union Jack but the Flag of St. George (see, left).  In one town in England, the town council has declared that its own national flag is too offensive to fly over the town (emphasis mine, some reformatting):

The flag of St George will not be flying over Radstock any time soon after town councillors decided it was inappropriate.  The town council decided not to buy a St George’s flag after a discussion about repairs to the civic flagpole to ensure a Union Jack could be flown on Armistice Day.  Among the concerns expressed were the offence that could be taken by Muslims.

You know, I look at this kind of stupidness (and yes, it IS stupidity on steriods squared) and just sigh.  A country that cannot be proud of its history, its role in the world, is willing to lay down and roll over?  Making itself a sacrificial lamb just because somebody is guilty for what happened centuries ago?

Councillor Eleanor Jackson (Lab, Radstock), a university lecturer and teacher, said its use during the Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries could mean the English national flag could be seen by some as offensive.

She added: “My big problem is that it is offensive to some Muslims but even more so that it has been hijacked by the far right. My thoughts are we ought to drop it for 20 years.”

The question is, would there be a nation in 20 years with this attitude?  There is that phrase ‘if you aren’t proud of your country, why would you be willing to fight for it“?  Even if it just a fight in the cultural arena?  Could it be a Britain that goes forward is but a mere hollow stalk of a once proud country that could endure anything with a “stiff upper lip”?  I look at this next part and go “Wussies – just make it all white to show your true colors and attitude are!”:

“Why don’t we get a couple of Marines [to hold umbrellas],” the President said. “They’re gonna look good next to us.”

Better and better every time I look at this picture or watch the video.  Far better than Obama.  Yes, Obama asked for them for “assistance” and of course, they obeyed his command.  I do believe, however, the White House staff should have taken care of this “duty”.  Shades of that rumor that during the Clinton presidency, uniformed members of the armed forces were used as waiters.

Sidenote: When I downloaded the image from the NY Daily Post site, I did get a chuckle from the name they put on it: Obama-turkey

”no controlling legal authority”

Get Out Of Jail Free CardThat was the line Al Gore used back when he was campaigning against George W Bush back in 2000 in raising money at a Buddhist temple (where the monks has a vow of poverty).   As I used to hear in Sunday school, and then say myself – an object lesson!  By that, he just didn’t see any applicable law that applied to the situation – there was nothing there to stop him.  There was no gate, if breached, that would cause a negative consequence to him.  It was as if someone gave him a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card.

And that is the lesson.  As a Conservative, I believe in the phrase “self-governance”.  A two-fer: both meant that citizens should be able to govern themselves in a limited government – there is no monarchy or unaccountable entity to which to be responsible for regulations and laws set for them to merely obey.  We, the citizens, elect our representatives in the law-making process.  It is also is complementary to another phrase: self-responsibility.  Combine them and one will have a sense of morality that says “I need to do the right thing – regardless if there is a law about this or not”.  It is internal governance – that little guy that sits on your shoulder that says “you REALLY should think about NOT doing that” when you know you are wrong before you start.  Right from wrong becomes a personal responsibility – even when no one is looking.  Especially when no one else is there.

Being the Progressive that he is, Gore took advantage of the fact there there was not an “external governor” stuck in the ground in front of him that said “no, this is not right”.  No flag, no cop, no bars, no signs – nothing.  In the Progressive mindset, it seems that they depend on externalities to govern their behavior.  Seeing nothing?  Go ahead and do it!  And he did.  And then blamed the fact that there was no law there to stop him.  Effectively, Progressives outsource that internal governance to others who have made the laws they must follow.

Like Gore, it seems that AG Eric Holder and his partisan crew at the Federal Dept of Justice are now claiming “hey, if there had JUST been another law in place”:

A Dirty Ex-Cop and a Mope

Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.   —George Bernard Shaw

Brendan_Bisbee_Dirty_Ex_Cop_Mope2Kristin Ruggiero engaged in a series of lies and falsehoods with the specific intent to destroy her estranged husband Jeffrey Ruggiero. For a time it seemed that Kristin was “teflon”…Nothing seemed earthly possible that would oppose her web of deceit.

But the point finally came when the whole ruse unraveled. Kristin was caught. And in her web of deceit, she
