Data Point – Growth of the NRA

“Keene then exulted in the fact that despite incredible money from leftists and a mainstream media that opposes gun rights, that nonetheless over 58,000 Americans joined the NRA in one day after Obama gave his initial gun-control speech. Amazingly, the NRA’s membership has grown by roughly one million—an astounding 25% increase—since the middle of last … Read more

Rep Itse ‘Stands His Ground’ on “Honor Your Oath.”

Freemont Republican House Rep Dan Itse responds to previous letters and editorials from the Union Leader and Chuck Douglas–in the Union Leader–regarding the Honor Your Oath Rally and the persistent effort by them and others to insist that this was just another gun rally whose premis is flawed. Rep Itse does a fine job of … Read more

Flinging Toro Scat Home and Abroad, the Consistent President

o_bs_w_asterickHappy Cinco de Mayo.  Not to be left out of the fun, O goes hardcore delusional in a scat slathered speech on Friday.

After last week’s answerless press conference that displayed Obozo’s vacuity on a variety of subjects, one of which involves the murder of 4 Americans in an embassy while he was at a fundraiser and doing nothing to help those escape being murdered, he headed south of what once was called the border for a friendly respite.

Naturally, Obozo being Obozo he was slinging it pretty hard in Mehico by praising the country.  But it was so over the top, the audience knew it to the point that they didn’t think he was talking about their country at all.  He was a victim of his own BS boomerang.

It’s actually pretty funny… once you get passed the embarrassment.

Are NH Democrats just Making Stuff Up about Background Checks?

There are more lies about background checks coming from the New Hampshire Democrat Party than truths and no polling can possibly explain the disparity unless the polls are flawed, skewed, or just made up.

Ninety percent of New Hampshire citizens cannot possibly be in favor of  Manchin Toomey background checks when less than 90% of all Democrats are willing to push the meme themselves.  And given that 100% of Democrats don’t agree with the narrative this makes the math required to justify the number impossible.

This is interesting: A Fair Tax webinar

FairTaxButtonDon’t get me wrong: It’s obvious we don’t have much chance of repealing the 16th Amendment and instituting a national sales tax in this era. The political/ruling classes have become so corrupt, so rich, so powerful, and so ubiquitous—especially in Washington, DC—that real economic reform in America is pretty unlikely.

However…with all that said, there is a big collapse coming, and…

Carol Shea-Porter: too bright to be that stupid to get it wrong on background checks; so what is it?

WMUROn WMUR Channel 9’s Closeup this morning, Congressman Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH CD-1) decided that she was going to talk about gun control  at gun shows and certainly made it clear that NO background checks happen at gun shows.  Well, she may not be the brightest bulb in the lot, but she’s not the dimmest (damning with faint praise: that would go to Congressman Hank “Guam might tip over” Johnson before CSP could rise to take the prize), but one of these is true:

  • Maybe I HAVE judged her brightness wrongly?
  • Perhaps she is subject to that line “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”
  • She is lying (employing the Saul Alinsky principle that “In the beginning the organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems”?)

So, what is wrong?  And where is she lying?

And you think that the MSM is fair and balanced about gun control? Bah! Cokie Roberts shoots that down.

On This Week with George Stephanopolous, the round table turned to gun control and politics.  Mary Matilan, a long term Republican political operative and strategists, said that she had just done something because of how the Progressives have poisoned the debate on guns.  While she is explaining, listen for the word “Good!”.  Yeah, listen to the nervous laughter over the attempt to cover up this “national TV gaffe”.

Cat out of the bag.

But there was a Republican Sheriff there!

WMURFrom this week’s Political Scoop:

This is not to excuse some of the national types. They story was there in the audience. Ayotte’s team was able to pack the audience the same way gun control groups artificially packed the audience. But Team Ayotte wasn’t doing any effective blocking and tackling either. Just one example: with all the Republican sheriffs who backed Ayotte in 2010, no one was put out there to defend Ayotte?

Well, for starters, James Pindell, there was at least one “Republican” Sheriff at one of Kelly’s town halls: Craig Wiggin of Belknap County at the Tilton event. Two friends of mine was there and relayed these takes on how “supportive” the Sheriff was:

We were told at the door by a police officer that no signs were allowed in the auditorium. We complied and played by the rules. However, the left wing radicals were allowed to display two signs while in the auditorium, one disparaging Ayotte and the other a pro-gun control slogan and nothing was done about it. These signs were not far from Ayotte where the media could film and exploit them for their usual purposes. Jeb Bradley who moderated this said nothing while the media cameras kept rolling.

So, who actually made a stink about following the rules and trying to knock this down for Kelly?  Well, the other friend made it clear that it was neither Jeb Bradley or Sheriff Wiggin:

NH Democrats Focused on The Economy

Hah!  No they’re not.  If that were true they wouldn’t be blowing out the state budget and growing spending five times faster than estimated growth.

Democrats.  Don’t you love them?

What they are actually focused on is off-shoring (that’s a metaphor) their own responsibility for managing our sovereign state.  Instead of standing up and running on the Democrat party stated position on super-duper enhanced background checks at the state level, they are passing the buck on to the Federal government.   It’s a big deal for them, “off-shoring” your state’s rights to the feds.

Competency counts

Exhibit A.  Barack Obama.  My, he looks so uncomfortable “skeet” shooting (one of those photo-ops trying to show him trying to “be one of the guys”). Then there is a guy who actually knows how to shoot a long gun; of course, it’s the guy from Texas: It was unfortunate how his run for President … Read more

There is No Ball

Do New Hampshire Democrats have their priorities straight?  Think about it.  The economy is creeping along.  No one is projecting even moderate growth.  Employment is likely to remain flat which means unemployment is as well.   All in all, the best we can hope for, according to all the ‘experts’ is to drift along for a while.  So what are New Hampshire Democrats doing?

In one of the safest states in the nation, with some of the most–dare I say liberal–gun laws in the country, they are investing their energy on harassing a Republican Senator (Kelly Ayotte) who doesn’t even have to run for office until 2016, over a vote that wouldn’t even do much if any good to solve the problem they claim it is meant to resolve; while at the exact same time,  asking New Hampshire taxpayers to let them grow the size and cost of government as much as 10%.

Economy sucks, maybe 2% growth if we’re lucky over the next few years–New Hampshire Democrats want to give the government a permanent 9-10% raise.

Talk about not keeping your eye on the ball.

Wait.  This is supposed to be like the Matrix, right.  There is no ball.  Look- Ayotte!

Who wrote “The Battling Bastards of Benghazi”?

Several months ago I posted a poem written in tribute to the American fighters in Benghazi who disobeyed orders to get into the fight and to save American lives (and by all accounts former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty did save many lives). You can read my first posting HERE. But it appears I may have misattributed the author of the poem.  I’ve recently received an email from John Roberts, a former SEAL himself, who says this:

So Every New Hampshire Democrat Will Be Running on Background Checks in 2014?

The New Hampshire Democrat party is all-in on their background-check thing.  They’ve got out of state money, out of state influence, out of state victims as props… So I guess this is pretty important to New Hampshire Democrats then?  And to hear them talk, it is mighty important to New Hampshire citizens as well.  Or is that just talk?

Can we expect every Democrat in the state at every level run for reelection on this issue?  Will every New Hampshire Democrat running for office  in 2014 put background checks at the top of every palm cards, flyer, mailer, and campaign web-site?

If New Hampshire citizens are behind this idea to the degree that New Hampshire Democrats claim, (just ask them, ‘everyone is talking about it’), then you’ll be running strongly on this issue, in all 400 house races, and all 24 state Senate races, the Governors race, plus the US Senate and Congressional races?

Notable Quote – Common Core

Common Core is just the secular-humanist-educational equivalent of Shari’a Law, implemented by controlling, secular-humanist, anti-religious socialist, personal-choice-bigots who insist we spend billions more every year because every child learns differently but then can’t seem to see the hypocrisy of wanting every state, county, and School district across the fruited plain to follow a one-size-fits-all nation-wide curriculum, implemented by statist fatwa, advanced through an organized campaign based on guilt and intimidation, … Read more
