From the Weekly Standard– amidst speculation that Joe “Gaffe Machine” Biden has been having far too many Joe-moments, we bring you today’s schedule. (on the jump…)
We know Biden is not doing the ticket any favors.
So is it time to bring on Hillary–though she and Bill can’t stand the Obama’s and the Obama’s can’t stand the Clinton’s either…but for the sake of power a Democrat will do just about anything. Or is this just a sit down and straighten out Joe kind of a day?
[Update on the jump]
Remember when President Obama said this? Should we buy ammo now?
If you read part-1 of “Following the Trail from Sustainability to Tyranny“, you would have seen a list of “What If?” questions. The third question reads: “What If you could not grow a vegetable garden without a permit?“. Some people might say these are pie-in-the-sky questions, or conspiracy notions, simply because they are not necessarily happening today. Well, you’ve been warned!
Sometimes, you even have to laugh at political ads. This one, by American Crossroads, simply nails it on Joe “Gaffe-a-matic” Biden’s comment of “Put y’all back in chains” at an event with a large number of African-Americans:
I look at the rate of increase of compensation for these Union heads and immediately starting thinking:
Community Organizers of the Saul Alinsky mold HAVE to have someone to demonize and to call “The Other” that is “taking away something” or “Keeping you away from something” – they are only successful when they can anger folks against somebody else. And by this amusing little cartoon, we can see that Obama has been … Read more
More than a few folks are probably wondering why I keep talking about vote fraud and photo ID. TEA Party Republicans more or less plugged up the domicile loophole that invited out of state influence in our local New Hampshire elections, and even passed a voter ID requirement. So where’s the fire?
Democrats are still lying about the issue, and if permitted any kind of majority in state government will do everything in their power to reverse the protections we’ve managed to gain. So it is essential that we reveal the half-truths and outright lies they will continue to peddle all the way to November and beyond.
In a post of mine a few weeks back, when Captain Psycho P.h.d Orange Hair shot up a movie theater and ABC News then reflexively exhorted, “Tea Party! Tea Party! Tea Party!” with Tourette-like self control, I touched on something that I’ve been observing most of my life and only realized what it was and have been able to recognize it these past few years. It is that the core of leftist, or liberal, ideology consists of the belief that everything is open to and subject to politics. Everything can, should, and, eventually, must be politicized. Once something becomes political, it’s open to debate and thus can be modified. This is what drives them “Forward,” as Lenin and Obama would say.
“We are our brother’s keeper,” is frequently uttered by his Majesty, which often incites a racing chill up the spine of the unfortunate recipients of the utterance. The chill is especially acute to those who actually read the Bible. Characteristically, however, it’s meant to be taken figuratively and not literally. Or so it seems. Because when the brother of Obama is in a pinch, his Majesty cannot be found (he’s too busy on the 19th hole I suspect). Well, thank goodness there’s a conservatives who can lend an ear and a few bucks.
From the director of “2016: Obama’s America” came help for the brother of the film’s subject matter.
As we find ourselves more and more exposed to committee meetings, public meetings, and even private ones, particularly with bureaucrats, paper pushers, or local or state level government officials, this bit of news might come in handy.
It’s about the Delphi Technique. From Informed Citizens United
In group settings, the Delphi Technique is an unethical method of achieving consensus on controversial topics. It requires well-trained professionals, known as “facilitators” or “change agents” who deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction against another to make a preordained viewpoint appear “sensible,” while making opposing views appear ridiculous.
Last of the three Candidates from Meredith speaking at Barbara Aichinger’s home (and the only non-incumbent of the three) was Herb Vadney. Although he has never been in the NH House, he has been a long time Selectman in Meredith and like the others, believes that while this past session has been a good start to undo the Democrats growing State government into Concord, growing the size of the budget, and growing the resulting Command and Control Leviathan; a return to Live Free or Die vs a Live under Govt and Wither:
There are a number of NH House races in which there are more Republicans running than there are seats to vy for in the general elections. In Laconia, the largest of such is in District 3 where the following are running:
- Don Flanders
- Bob Kingsbury
- Bob Luther
- Frank Tilton
- Ken DeShays (no show for the meeting)
Floyd Corkins II, of Hendron Virgina, walked in to the Family Rights Council offices in Washington DC and proceeded to shoot a security guard before the same guard subdued him (some reports say with help), preventing him from getting past the lobby of the building.
Corkins “had been volunteering at a community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people,” according to AP and CBS news. He is also reported to have shouted disagreements with the work the Christian group does before opening fire.
To their credit, Glaad, representing several gay rights groups, quickly released a statement condemning the shooting. The shooter is in custody, and no one was seriously injured in the incident, so the bigger story is the lack of wall to wall media coverage of a shooting in the heart of Washington DC.
There is a lovely new candidate survey being mailed out to New Hampshire candidates from the Concord Monitor. While most of the questions are loaded to demarcate the right left divide in state politics–have to make sure we know who the “TEA Party Extremists” are–one question in particular stood out.
“Do you support last year’s 50% cut in university Funding…”
House Speaker John Boehner took part in an interview with Fox News this week and one of the topics, invariably, was VP-pick, Paul Ryan. During the interview, Greta Van Susteren challenged Boehner about Ryan’s votes for TARP, the auto bailouts, and two 2008 stimulus programs, asking how, as a Conservative, he politically “sells that”.
Boehner responded with just about the stupidest, yet telling, remark possible…
It is hard to beat the annual burden of government regulation for keeping the economy down. It’s also a great way to keep unemployment up. If Businesses have to spend more money to comply with regulations there is less to invest in the business or more employees. And what’s even better is that this…(see chart on the jump)…is something the government did create. Forty-six billion dollars ($46,000,000,000.00) in new additional regulatory costs per year!, heaped on business owners–during a recession– thanks to Barry “Big Bureaucracy” Obama…in just three years.
(I wonder if the idea came out of one of those job summit break-out session?)
And now for the last question of the night, formulated by Stella Scamman (moderator for the evening’s Seacoast Republican Women Congressional Forum). The Candidates for this last question were in attendance were Rick Parent & Vern Clough vying for the Republican nomination in NH 1st Congressional District and Will Dean & Dennis Lamare (“NO SHOWS” were Congressmen Frank “Stiffing the SRW at the last moment” Guinta and Charlie “It’s not worth my time” Bass).
Question 6: Are you aware of the UN Agenda 21 and if you are, what would you do to kill it?
Staying with the Conservative Candidates running for the NH House in Belknap 5 (Meredith and Gilford) is Bob Greemore. Yet another small business owner, he too is not happy how the State of NH has drifted from being a biz friendly place – his business is down because a lot of his customers are not in business. Someone who has fought hard as a member of the Belknap County delegation, he has fought to keepsafe taxpayers wallets:
He may have inherited a bad situation (so did Reagan). I think Obama’s “laser like focus” went dark…

Below is text taken from N.H. House Speaker William O’Brien’s Facebook page:
Here’s what union-controlled government has become in New Hampshire:
Union operatives are pulling my yard signs from public areas and replacing some of them with union signs. Union thugs have twice gone into a general store in my town and threatened the woman who owns it with a boycott if she doesn’t take down a yard sign supporting me.
Unions also have promised to put $50,000 into my district, which has about 8,000 people, to defeat me. My opponents’ efforts are beginning to show that kind of spending.
