Is Kelly Ayotte…Lost?

Word is spreading around the globe that NH Senator Kelly Ayotte is likely to support the “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” (UNCLOS, aka “LOST”) treaty that Hillary Clinton has been pushing for years, John Kerry (D-MA) is cheerleading, and President Obama has already pledged to sign.  This, in and of itself, is reason enough to look at this treaty askew.

Yet, apparently siding with the entire contingent of 53 Democrats in the Senate, along with a possible 17-19 other Republicans (not surprisingly including John McCain, Susan Collins, Scott Brown, Lisa Murkowski, and Lindsey Graham), Ayotte has not yet signed a letter from a group of Senators who pledge to block the bill.

Note: This week, the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) both went on the record opposing this treaty, adding their names to the letter.

Healthcare Mandate Ruling: IS The Dust Settling?

“Who needs enemies when you’ve got Republican Surrenderists for Obamacare waiting in the wings?” —Michelle Malkin

Eleven days have passed since the Supreme Court Healthcare mandate ruling. And with breakneck lightening speed pundits on both sides took to the airwaves, spinning, expounding, pontificating, analyzing and finger-wagging. What was shocking to many in the pregnant pause of waiting for the decision was that it was Justice Roberts who was the swing vote to uphold the law.

For months, we heard a regular smorgasbord of talking heads on television, radio and in blogs predicting the mandate would fall and be declared “unconstitutional” by the nation’s highest court. The court’s upholding of the mandate drew a shockwave throughout the land. “Surprise, Surprise…”

The Embrace of Administrative Despotism – A Notable Quote

Our contemporaries are constantly excited by two conflicting passions; they want to be led, and they wish to remain free.  As they can not destroy either the one or the other of these contrary propensities, they strive to satisfy them both at once.  They devise a sole, tutelary, and all powerful from of government, but … Read more

Manchester School District – Is this an Anti-School Choice Move?

Despite earlier promises the Manchester School district may now be refusing to bus charter school kids based on the argument that it will cost $82,000.00 in transportation costs to do so.  From what I’ve been told so far, the original plan was to have them ride on the existing Catholic school bus routes, which would … Read more

Manchester Democrat Peter Sullivan Admits He Is a Socialist

Carol SEIU-Porter And Ann McKluster’s Biggest 2012 Donor? Anti-Israel J Street PAC

JStreet The Anti-Israel Lobby and PAC supports NH DemocratsYou are who you take money from, so the narrative goes, which on a typical day makes Carol Shea-Porter (SEIU-Porter) a union thug and Ann McLane Kuster (The McKluster) and SEIU-Porter both the Bane of the Unborn (up to an including partial birth abortion), and meat puppets of left wing congressional leadership.

Ann McLane Kuster - Supported by Anti-Israel J Street
The McLuster ....

So how does the J Street PAC factor in?  J Street is currently the biggest individual donor to both New Hampshire Democrat congressional candidates SEIU-Porter and The McKluster.  NH CD-1 Candidate SEIU-Porter has received $10,950 dollars and CD-2 Candidate McKluster has pocketed over $30,000.00 from the group, putting J Street at the top of both fund-raising leader boards.  And who is J Street?

J Street is the offspring of gazillionaire George Soros largess, and funded by the Soros family (and other mysterious foreign donors).  It lists itself as a Pro-Israel group, but its primary purpose is to funnel money into Left wing candidates and to promote anti-Israeli policy.

To quote Elliot Jager at Jewish Ideas Daily…

Claiming to support Israel’s right to self-defense, J Street since its founding has opposed every measure Israel has taken to defend its citizens. It opposed military action to stop Hamas’s bombardment of the Negev. It abandoned Israel in the face of the Turkish flotilla frenzy. And it had to be dragged kicking and screaming to embrace even mild congressional sanctions against Iran.
