Rasmussen Reports shows Romney leading in its most recent poll in New Hampshire. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in New Hampshire shows Romney with 48% support to President Obama’s 45%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) My personal … Read more
“…Despots we see, do plunder their subjects, though history and experience tell them that, by prematurely extracting the means of profusion, they are in fact devouring the seed-corn from which the future harvest of revenue is to spring.” -Thomas Babington Macaulay
Our apologies for the very short notice. Last week, on the heels of a GSF rejection victory in Rochester, Dover shot down their Scenic Byway program, and the standing-room-only crowd made a HUGE difference. The Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) is holding their Executive Committee and regular Commission meetings, this Wednesday night, September 19th, in … Read more
according to their philosophy. And so say them directly – Hillary Rosen, Ann Kuster, and Barack Hussein Obama. If you are not using your money for the common good according to ReProgressives (presently, one’s money to be “in the economy”), they feel perfectly fine and capable to remove it from you and call it taxation. I remember when Democrat “strategist” Hillary Rosen made this claim back on “Meet The Press” (July 15) on a discussion on jobs and that silly argument that Romney wasn’t paying his taxes:
MS. ROSEN: Well, and that’s the problem. Right now the plan that we’ve seen from Mitt Romney is just mostly significant tax cuts for the wealthy. President Obama actually has put forth multiple plans that the Republican Congress has blocked. So, the only thing we have now is a choice. This conversation may not be what everybody wants, but we do have a choice between these two candidates. And when you look at something like what Mitt Romney has done, hiding his taxes, there’s– you– you know, if every American hid their money and invested it in overseas tax havens, where would this economy be? You know…
Well, Uber-Progressive Regressive Ann McKluster is making the same claim in a debate with Charlie Bass for US Congress in NH CD-2:
“It isn’t about millionaires against everybody else,” Bass said on the tax issue. “It’s about getting this economy turned around again. Raising taxes in the middle of this recession without having any comprehensive plan to turn the economy around is a bad idea.”
“If these resources were being used to create new jobs, then the small business wouldn’t be paying taxes on them,” said Kuster. “That’s a deduction.
“The point is, these people with this kind of income right now are not putting the money back into the economy,” she said. “They’re not hiring new people. Frankly, they’re not even buying new goods.”
You see, you do not own yourself. You are not entitled to the fruits of your labor – your wages, your salary, your income if you are not using it according to THEIR purposes.
and we have three. Ivan and Kiah are in the pix; just can’t find one with them with Meeka, the newest that is inbetween the two in size. Ivan is 15 years old and we almost lost him about 6 months ago to what appeared to be kidney failure (which is why we got Meeka … Read more
John is one of the few independent professional bloggers that I know and his first blog, RightWingNews, was one of the first of the national level blogs that started linking to us when we opened the doors here at GraniteGrok. He was also a favorite guest on our radio show “Meet The New Press”. Since … Read more
I watched Susan Rice, Obama’s Ambassador to the UN on the Sunday morning shows making a complete asshat of herself by: By even trying to try to make us all believe that some poorly done movie short could be the sole reason for her fellow Ambassador’s assassination (really, what kind of a “protest” comes fully … Read more
We’re waiting…..you cannot vote “Present” on this 3am call or more people will be killed on your watch… (H/T: Instapundit)
It’s not the first time that reports have reached my ears of obvious political bias in the classrooms of the Merrimack School System. Tales of Middle School English teachers using their classrooms to promote the “science” of global warming we’re not uncommon, and while annoying not prevalent enough to demand action. The most recent circumstance … Read more
This more or less speaks for itself. Feel free to form up into work groups and report back after lunch. Or you could just lean back in your chair and bask in the glow of alternative media (aka-choices) beating up the dinosaur media like an SEIU thug on a Tea Party Protester.
A private citizen made a lousy YouTube video about six months ago. A few days ago islamo-fascists used it as a vehicle to inflame Muslim uprisings. Under the cover of same, Americans were killed, or in some cases executed. The Obama Administration’s response to the killings was to send the police out in the dark of night and collect the man they believe responsible for making the video.
Muslims, living in third world arm-pits, are familiar with this strategy. People disappearing in the night when they have displeased those in power by saying something that has made them look bad. They do not have free speech. But we do. Well, we are supposed to.
So ask a New Hampshire Democrat…
Ugh. First, the audacity of asking that in lieu of a wedding gift as you and your spouse start your new life together, consider having them just send money to a political campaign (Obama’s). I know Michelle all wants us to move more and eat less better, but to skip a meal and then send … Read more
Er, weren’t we supposed to be running out (Peak Oil theory) instead of increasing (and one of the reasons why Enviro-wackos want to keep us from using more now – “it’s for future generations!“). It just goes to show that the Malthusians amongst the Enviros never seem to consider the idea of human ingenuity in … Read more
Yes, this is going to keep coming up. All the way to November. (excerpt on the jump)
In a posting dated Monday, September 17, 2012 (the 225th anniversary of the creation of the US Constitution), William Tucker over at Blue Hampshire (or, more accurately, “Boo-Hoo Hamster”), states that “conservative special interest groups successfully targeted GOP lawmakers who failed to toe the ideological line…“.
Good observation, but his title “NH GOP purges moderates” is all wrong.
Calling them “victims of the purge”, and attempting to tie their demise to the nefarious and pointy-tailed Bill O’Brien, Tucker quotes the consistently unbiased Nashua Telegraph reporter, Kevin Landrigan, subtly ginning-up fears of some Koch-Nugent-Sununu-Eastwoodian cabal, secretly operating somewhere in West Virginia, working to eradicate all New Hampshire RINOs, then coming to blast us all back to the horrible 1950’s (when people didn’t lock their doors at night, families could afford to have Mom stay at home if they chose, planning for retirement wasn’t a laugh, we actually had affordable private medical care, and the dollar was worth more than fourteen cents).
An apology is likely forthcoming, after it is revealed that, like the Soviet Black Sea Navy ships sailing behind the speakers at the Democrat National Convention, the fighter jets pictured above…not US either. So their tribute the military was essentially…a complete fail. (#FAIL)
The Daily Caller nails them on this here. The jets are Turkish F-5 fighters.
You’ve got to hand it to the Democrats though. Had complete control of the government for two years. They still control most of it with the Democrat Controlled Senate still blocking anything and everything that might embarrass Obama. Their candidate for President is the current commander and chief for the US military, and always the Smartest Guy In The Room™ ,but they still can’t manage to use photos of actual US military hardware in their convention for his re-election.
It’s priceless.
In case you forgot, the picture is on the jump…
Ben Stein wrote an interesting piece in The American Spectator today.
In it he makes various observations and comes to various conclusions, as follow:
