Barrett L. Austin, Easley, SC

My guess is that you do not know Barrett L. Austin. I would also venture a guess that you do not know the town of Easley, South Carolina. And in this day and age, we never will know unless we take our time and look for these youngsters and their stories.

Why is that important? Sad to say that this morning, I am doubting we do care anymore. But maybe you can help me come to better grips with all of this, a better insight beyond America not caring anymore. Honestly, I do not know and am clouded by my bias against being force-fed minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day the tragedies of the past months. Please understand here that I in no way minimize all that has happened. We have been hit by our enemies and by crazy people in the name of God knows what. There are bad people who do bad things for reasons that are hard for many of us to fully understand. And after all the media “get the widow on the set” coverage, it still boils down to bad people doing bad things to everyday good people. All tomorrow’s laws, rules and regulations, imposed on good people, will never erase the (set to action) of bad, cruel and cowardly people. To me, this is important because others are sacrificing and my country no longer pays attention.

Enviroreligion: 12 dead humans. So? Big deal.

Left-wing statists hate religion. Their disdain shines through at anyone or anything that hints of a transcendental nature. Except for nature itself, that is. Now that…well there’s something worth protecting! Even if it means people die. That’s just too bad. So this is what…

I Think She’d Say Something like this, Harrell!

Yesterday morning hapless Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’ Kirstein (The New Hampshire Democrat Propaganda Minister) tweeted this.

harrell kirstein tweet poll

PPP is left leaning and always suspect, with a tendency to over-sample for favorable Democrat outcomes, but maybe HK was just looking for a silver lining seeing as the UNH Poll, albeit with a smaller sample, came out with some contradictory results he chose NOT to share.

New Hampshire’s junior senator, Republican Kelly Ayotte, has also seen her favorability rating largely unchanged since February. Currently, 50% of New Hampshire adults have a favorable opinion of Ayotte, 25% have an unfavorable opinion of her, 9% are neutral and 16% don’t know enough about her to say. Ayotte’s net favorability rating is +25%, up from +23% in February. Her net favorability remains high among Republicans at +74% and low among Democrats where it is at -21%. Her net favorability rating among Independents has also stayed steady at +38%.

Emphasis mine… because in the UNH poll she owns Republicans, and most importantly …with independents she is +38.  No point in sharing that, eh Harrell.  But while we’re ‘sharing, that UNH poll had some other important news that might be of even greater concern to Democrats like Kirstein, given that Ayotte is not facing re-election next year and New Hampshire’s two Democrat congress-critters are.

The Manhunt Evolves at Least One on Guns

Credit: msnbcmedia.mns.com

Growing up, Paula was afraid of guns and never wanted one in her home.

She recounts when an abstract belief reified itself; when the safety projected by modernity dissipated and revealed itself to be illusory.

Protection was always one phone call away, she didn’t expect that to change.

Municipalities and martial law

“Of the many uncomfortable truths emerging from last week’s bombing and subsequent manhunt—including the fact that American cities are still vulnerable to Islamic terrorism—one of the most troubling but least talked-about is the fact that martial law may now become part of the municipal playbook.” Lockdown.  

Farmington New Hampshire Democrats…About That Hate Group Thing…

The Farmington New Hampshire Democrat Committee web page includes a post titled “Southern Poverty Law Center Report Finds ‘Patriot’ Groups Surge As Anti-Obama Fervor Grows.”  There is an image with a link to a HuffPo post written by Janelle Ross which quotes the the Southern Poverty Law Center, and concludes that…

The number of anti-government “patriot” groups, including paramilitary hate organizations, reached an all-time high in 2012, fanned by President Barack Obama’s reelection and talk of gun control following the Newtown, Conn., elementary school massacre, according to a report issued Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center. (SPLC)

They are all hate groups now.  Nice.

What I found most interesting about all of this is that if you search the Farmington New Hampshire Democrat website for any reference to pro-LGBT activist Floyd Lee Corkins, who–based solely on the SPLC’s designation of  the Family Research Council (FRC) as a ‘hate group’–went there with the intention of “killing as many people as possible.”

What?  That’s not hate-enough for you?

Senator Kelly Ayotte takes a good stand!

KellyAyotteSittingWe all know that the Democrat party is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our socialist-in-chief, Obama. I mean, this guy hates people having the means to defend themselves. That’s why the Democrats are in such a frenzy to ban guns. Here’s an example of what’s coming from the Democrat “community organizer” network (paid for, no doubt, by our tax money):

Stellllllaaaaaaaa!

Democrats are not (NOT)  suggesting that Democrat Dick Patten resign–he is accused of stalking and what amounts to sexual harassment.

“A city man has received a temporary stalking order against Rep. Dick Patten, D-Concord, after the man complained Patten allegedly tried to kiss him and was repeatedly calling and texting him, according to the Concord Monitor, which broke the story Tuesday.”

(The Democrats may have managed to spike that story about Dick in major media so it would not outshine the Tremblay remarks that they wanted to push.  No comment on that either.)

Democrats did not suggest that Rep Cynthia Chase resign when she said straight out that Democrats and the state government could use the power of the state to”…make the environment here so unwelcoming that some will choose not to come, and some may actually leave.”  The Castro brothers would have loved that.   And that was awfully embarrassing to New Hampshire.  Chase is still in office isn’t she?  Oh yea…here she is, a few weeks ago, doing the “peoples” work.

But they are trying to get Rep. Stella Tremblay to resign for simply remarking on Glenn Becks web site that the government is somehow involved in the goings-on with the Boston Marathon Bombing.

So Dick may be guilty of a crime.   Cynthia Chase is guilty of fomenting legislative tyranny.  Stella is guilty of exercising free speech and not trusting the government.   It’s a typical day in the hypocrats tyrannical, left-wing, homosexual bullying neighborhood.

Now that’s funny….

Regarding a stalking order issued against Dick Patten, Democrat, State Representative, Concord City Councilor, Democrat Speaker of the House Norelli issued a statement yesterday afternoon. “Before casting judgment we should make every effort to obtain all the relevant facts,” she said.

Notable Quote – Law Professors Daniel Farber and Philip Frickey

Ultimately, the health of the republic rested on civic virtue – that is, on the willingness of individuals to sacrifice private interests to the common good. This school of thought, which sought to revive the classical virtues of the Roman republic, has become known as republicanism…. The dark side of republicanism is its potentially totalitarian … Read more

Williams – Sonoma: the Dick’s Sporting Goods of the kitchen set?

Updated & Bumped: This is when you get caught being stupid.  From CNSNews:

Williams-Sonoma Releases Statement Apologizing for Pulling Pressure Cookers

“Pressure cookers are available at all our stores nationwide.

“In the days immediately following the tragic bombings in Boston a local decision was made to remove pressure cookers from the sales floor of the stores near where the bombing occurred. We apologize if we offended anyone by this action.”

Offended?  No, that’s not the word I would pick.  Cowardly?  Political Correctness junkies?  Just plain STOOPID in trying to put as much space as possible from even a HINT of being associated with the Boston Marathon Bombers.  I do wonder if this decision was from their Sr. Leadership (such that might exist) or from an avalanche of “dumbness” sent their way.

*************************************

Back in December, just after the tragedy of Sandy Hook, Dick’s Sporting Goods stopped selling AR-15s.  They screwed over customers and they screwed over their suppliers as they did not honor their contracts and did not honor transactions in process.  They didn’t care – their cowardly side showed over this particular style of modern sporting rifles.

But really, this??  From Big Government (emphasis mine):

Assuming I survive….

From this morning’s Concord fish wrap: “Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth Woodcock said people who legitimately act in self-defense usually don’t get charged with a crime, anyway. “I think you have to have some confidence in your law enforcement people, that they do do their level best to prosecute, the people who really deserve prosecution and … Read more

Who Can You Trust?

Stella Tremblay, a New Hampshire House Republican (Auburn), is on the media chopping block for being a little bit Alex Jones, and bit too much Glenn Beck.  Seems she posted some remarks on Beck’s site that comport with conspiracy theories regarding the Boston Marathon Bombings, and the Federal Government’s Complicity.

Posted to Beck’s site–as reported by HuffPo…

 Just as you said would happen. Top Down, Bottom UP. The Boston Marathon was a Black Ops “terrorist” attack. One suspect killed, the other one will be too before they even have a chance to speak. Drones and now “terrorist” attacks by our own Government. Sad day, but a “wake up” to all of us. First there was a “suspect” then there wasnt. Infowars broke the story and they knew they had been “found out”.

What about the Fourth Amendment…

…and “unreasonable searches and seizures”? Was the behavior of the police during the Boston lockdown and search reasonable? Was it necessary for the police to scream at people, push them around, and manhandle entire families? What if a homeowners had said “you can’t come in unless you have a search warrant”? But this was an emergency, … Read more
