“With resistance like that” in Grafton….

500 feet to late if your are living the New Hampshire lifestyle
Democrats are working to make NH more like their favorite state….

I blogged about the latest brouhaha (and threatened lawsuit) in the Free Town of Grafton yesterday; the fight was caused by hubris and abuse of local power in my small hometown. So in the last 24 hours people have been asking me “Why are they acting like that?”

I told ’em to re-read the posting.

So today I get an email from my libertarian buddy “AJ,” who just read the blog post. He said it should be made into a movie…starring “Bill Murray as Tim Condon, Bruce Willis as Stephen Darrow, directed by Steven Spielberg!” Then he said…

Explosions at the Finish Line of the Boston Marathon

Update: video

Update: 6:16 pm – JFK Library event may now have just been an electrical fire.  Looks like the authorities are slowing down the “immediate” news releases as we get past the first couple / few hours after the initial explosions.  If someone wanted max media exposure for the after effects, they got it.

“Honor Your Oath” rally – Closing remarks by Jack Kimball and Jeff Chidester

The last video from yesterday’s Honor Your Oath Rally – which, er, isn’t much of a video.  It seems that the e-Gremlins decided to go nest in my camera for the last part of the rally – the files holding the closing remarks by Jack Kimball and Jeff Chidester got corrupted when I went to do the regular post-prodution processing.  I was able to (sorta) save them, but the video and the audio aren’t sync’d up at all.

So, I present for your listening pleasure:

The new civility

Between Saturday’s rally and the big Concord gun show at the Everett arena, I got to spend time with more than 2,000 nice people – mothers, fathers, little ones, oldies but goodies, friends and neighbors.  We talked about common interests – guns, our families, the lovely change in the weather and getting our gardens going; … Read more

Clarification: the emails that have been going out from “OccupyNHGOP”? Nope, not me and not us

I really can’t believe I really gotta do this, but I guess I hafta:

We are NOT “OccupyNHGOP@gmail.com“

Since the details of the on-g0ing Battle for the NH GOP Bank Accounts were reported to me and I’ve been posting them, someone else has been sending out mass emails from an email address called “OccupyNHGOP@gmail.com” to what seems to be ALL of the State Committee Members.  Often, the emails have links back to posts that ARE on GraniteGrok.  I have read them and so have the other Groksters who are also State Committee Members.  A guessing game has ensued as to who OccupyNHGOP really is (just like we do with our prodigious, and sometimes grammar stretching, commenter C.dog.e.dog).  We still don’t know in either case.

Did Mayor Gatsas Kick The Can Down The Road?

rusty canOn April 11th I swung for the fences in regard to remarks by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas and his desire to get some benefits concessions from the Teachers union to free up money in the budget..for education.  In the course of those remarks I pointed out how the Mayor had boasted about an agreement with the Manchester police and that he was just looking for something similar from the Teachers union.

A day or two after I published the post I received some intersting correspondence about that agreement with the Manchester Police; that while the union had made some very public benefits concessions there may have been other deals in the contract that could cost taxpayers even more down the road.  The unions may have actually come out ahead.

The Gun Maker’s Exodus Part II

“The number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S.” —That “Happy Warrior”Vice-President Joseph Biden

MovingSign1That is what he said…and without much credibility because we know that vice president Biden is a stupid person. Alas, the “Happy Warrior.”  This quote is instructive, because on the one hand, vapid lip service is given to the importance of job creation, yet a legal…constitutional activity…gun manufacturing is under siege in the nation. But Joe and his cadre soldiers on…Perhaps he can join Charlie for a visit to Candy Mountain.

Several states, also home to major manufacturers of firearms, have undertaken legislative initiatives

New York Times Nicholas Kristoff, big Lefty, already goes partisan attack dog and blames Republicans for tragedy

And of course, the Lefty Progressives were the first to blame Republicans – NYT’s Nick Kristoff was the first to go all-in-nuclear-partisan: tweeted out ”explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment“.  Uncool and he has since recalled it as EVERYONE went after him.  But again, NOTHING … Read more

If you are familiar with Boston…

Thanks for clearing that up

Some Murders Are More Newsworthy Than Others

“Reserved media seats Thurs a.m. in Courtroom 304 in Phila where Gosnell is on trial” jdmullane; credit jdmullane

Children slaughtered by streaking lead projectiles, punched out of a menacing-looking barrel, wielded by an unhinged psychopath, is newsworthy.  Children slaughtered by other means is not, or so it seems.

The news that’s been visiting the nation endlessly for months now is about a white-skinned fruit-loop, hell-bent on slaughtering white children.  If he was seeking media attention, I suppose it’s a good thing for the Newtown psycho boy that he didn’t stroll into a hospital and replace his fiery hell with something more subtle on infants, because we’d never hear about it. But he didn’t; he used a gun on grade-schoolers.  Therefore, let loose the media spigots and on with the deluge.
