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.
GrokTV: Conservative Republican Candidate Home Event: Kevin Leando
“Last but not least, MY favorite House candidate, Kevin Leandro from Gilford” – Barbara Aichinger. Mine too!
I served with him this last year on the Gilford Budget Committe – he was ALWAYS thinking of the taxpayers! No, not in “where’s their wallets” but in protecting taxpayer’s private property (their money) from those that had no problem in spending it all in the name of “It’s for the common good” or “It’s for the Quality of Life”. He showed me an absolute bulldog sense of taking on anyone that he perceived as being in the wrong or spending for the wrong reasons. No, he didn’t always win all of the battles, but like the Prior Marine he is, it was always find the target and move forward!
I can guarantee that he will make his presence known on the floor of the Hall of Representatives – as opposed to the other Gilford candidate (registered Independent and almost always seemingly put his finger to the wind to see which way the political winds were blowing). Principles set, locked and loaded, you will never doubt where he will stand and never doubt his Conservative values. My personal friend, Kevin Leandro:
GrokTV Event: Belknap County Republican Committee “Contested Primaries” – NH House District 7
The next NH House race, District 7, is contested by two folks: Guy Comtois and Elaine Swineford:
Is Biden Out! (Updated and Bumped)
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]
Operation Hot Mic…
Remember when President Obama said this? Should we buy ammo now?
Creeping Enviro-Tyranny…this time in Utah
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!
Keep Joe unchained – “A Vice President we can COUNT ON”
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:
No “race to the bottom” with THESE Union Leaders!
I look at the rate of increase of compensation for these Union heads and immediately starting thinking:
- Wow, there’s no “race to the bottom here” in these paychecks!
- Gee, all of these amounts come from – union members!
- Gee – have their respective unions grown in membership to warrant such remuneration?
- (er, no – union membership in the private sector is at an all time low)
- Have these same union members seen even a 25% increase in THEIR paychecks?
- And does the regular Joe Union-Member aware that they’ve dinged his paycheck to fatten their’s up this much?
Listening to his campaign rhetoric, methinks Obama can go much lower
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
NH Democrat Policies On Voter ID and Domicile Still Matter…Here’s Why. (Part 1)
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.
GrokTV: Conservative Republican Candidate Home Event – Herb Vadney
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:
GrokTV Event: Belknap County Republican Committee “Contested Primaries” – NH House District 3
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)
Shooting in DC – Lefty Media in No Particular Rush to Cover It.
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.
When Can We Cut the Other 50%?
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…”
Is the GOP Headed for Implosion?
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…
“We Are Our Brother’s Keeper” Really?
“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.
The Delphi Technique
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.
How To Keep An Economy Down..
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?)
GrokTV Event – Seacoast Republican Women Congressional Forum – Question 6
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?
GrokTV: Conservative Republican Candidate Home Event – Bob Greemore
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:
