Walker Wins – Unions Lose

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air points out that…

The unions spent millions of dollars and over a year’s worth of effort to get a temporary one-seat majority in a chamber that will never meet in session.   And that’s assuming that their lone win from last night holds up in a recount. Congratulations, Big Labor!

With Walker and Kleefisch crushing the opposition in Wisconsin, and redistricting likely to guarantee them, at minimum, two Republican seats and a return to a GOP majority in the State Senate come November, the Union/Democrat electoral ‘stimulus’ plan for Wisconsin appears to have had as much long term benefit as Obama’s Stimulus.  Spend a lot of money, make a lot of noise, and get nothing useful in return.  It’s the same failed policy everywhere you turn.

So congratulations, but before I finish, I’d like to  add a message for New Hampshire legislators as well, particularity in the NH State Senate.  There is a lesson here you had best learn.

Today’s historic vote on CACR-12: A message for wavering Republicans….

I haa an animated discussion early today with several members of the State House of Representatives. They will be called upon to vote for or against the awful CACR-12 proposed state constitutional amendment. CACR-12 will essentially do the bidding of the five policy activists in black robes on the state supreme court. But they are … Read more

Obama Golf Counter.com

Say hello to ‘Obamagolfcounter.com.’  Not only can you see how many rounds of golf the president has played during the Worst Recession in History™ (currently 96), you can see dates with links (hee-hee) to every one of them. They even have merchandise, though I don’t see any shirts that say “Obama Golfs While America Burns.”  … Read more

Governor Martin O’Malley Rallies NH Democrats…

Remember when New Hampshire Governor John Lynch slithered off in secret to  Tim Gill’s secret Gay-millionaire-democrat-donor confab known as Political OutGiving?  He wasn’t fundraising, so he said, but ended up with around $100,000.00 in contributions from the attendees (He got the rest of his 2010 campaign cash from Unions and his own bank account).  Well the only other Governor at that same event was Maryland’s Martin O’Malley.

Governor O’Malley probably wasn’t there to “fund-raise” either but given that he was reportedly on the fence about Gay Marriage, and the Gay lobby was pushing hard for a Gay Marriage bill in Maryland, and Governor John Lynch–who was against Gay Marriage before he was bought off by outside money and intimidated by the state party to be for it–the presence of this Democrat couple at the secret Chicago Millionaire Gay donor-confab seemed hardly serendipitous.

Nor does this seem coincidental–the choice of Governor Martin O’Malley to speak to the New Hampshire State Democrat Party convention last Saturday.

RLCNH Chairman Carolyn McKinney on the proposed education funding amendment

Carolyn McKinney, Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire

Damn. This lady is looking more and more like New Hampshire’s own version of Michelle Malkin. Some Republicans—even some good ones—are supporting CACR-12, the proposed state constitutional amendment which would constitute a state takeover of education and guarantee unending future pressure for ever-more spending and ever-higher taxes. In explaining why we must oppose the harmful and unacceptable proposal, McKinney breathes fire:

“I am looking realistically at this situation. I cannot tell the future, and neither can you. You can guess that there might be a point in time where the court may mandate additional state funding of education, and you can guess that a legislature will go along with the court. And you can gamble away your liberty, hedging your bets that someday that may happen and reacting out of fear.

And who knows what will be feasible in 5 years, 10 years, or 18 years from now? If I have anything to do with it (and the Free State Project continues to attract good constitutionalists like Andrew Manuse, Laura Jones, and others)…

Communism – alive and well in the US; the State of Connecticut is giving them money and the AFL-CIO SuperPAC uses one of their names

Updated and Bumped:   It seems that people in CT, especially Veterans Groups, were as upset with this as I was (reformatted for space, some emphasis mine):

Sen. Suzio Declares Victory for Vets & Taxpayers after Gov. Pulls Controversial New Haven Bond Item

State Sen. Len Suzio (R-Meriden) today issued the following statement after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy pulled from the State Bond Commission’s agenda a controversial measure to give $300,000 in state money to a communist-led nonprofit in New Haven.  “When you push hard, fight for what’s right and keep the drumbeat going, you get results. “Earlier this year, we were told we would never be able to cap the state’s rising gas tax. Many thought we would give up, yet we made that happen. “Today’s action by the governor proves that when people are given leadership and a voice, they cannot be denied.  “To the scores of taxpayers – especially the many veterans groups – who spoke out against this bond item: Congratulations. Your voices were heard.  “You spoke out against giving $300,000 of your money to refurbish the headquarters for the Communist Party in Connecticut. You called the governor’s office. You wrote letters to the editor. You rallied in front of the organization, waving flags and patriotic signs.  “Without your voices, this item would have passed. You sent a message today. You got results. Thank you.”

We fought the Cold War against this totalitarian ideology that killed between 50 and 75 million of their own citizens.   Yet, given the proclivities of Democrat Party to push this country away from our Founders vision and towards socialism anyways, why am I not surprised at the actions of the Democrat Governor of Connecticut is sending them taxpayer money (emphasis mine):

College Kids – getting the first bruntal financial slap by Obamacare

Remember, the HHS mandate by Secretary Sebelius was that even the healthcare insurance at Catholic universities (Franciscan University and Ave Maria University) had to offer contraceptives, abortifacients, sterilizations, and abortions – after all, it wasn’t an abridgement of conscience that was being sundered but that if they didn’t, Catholics theology was waging “the war on women”.

However, this is the flip side of Obamacare “war on the young” – the young are going to start bearing the brunt of the costs as all of the “mandates needed for basic healthcare needs” start rearing their spikes (from the Wall Street Journal):

 Some colleges are dropping student health-insurance plans for the coming academic year and others are telling students to expect sharp premium increases because of a provision in the federal health law requiring plans to beef up coverage.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel, Progressives – their newest GOTV: “Rock the Slut Vote”

You Might Be A Slut GirlOy vay! Sluts-o-rama time again!  We’ve previously posted about the word “sluts” for a bit here (here, here, here, here, here, here), ever since Sandra Fluke decided that having others pay for those items that give her “freedom” to exercise her sexual activities (other peoples’ freedom to conscience, religious liberty, and the Right to their own Private Property not withstanding).

Well, this post by Steve should set the table for this current post, as once again, it is about voting sluts.  No, not a Slut political Party trying to be formed, or that Conservatives should be scared that Sluts are being rounded up to vote against them.  Rather, it is an aging boomer, trying to rally “sluts” a la the tired MTV ever present “Rock the Vote,” to sign up college kids to go vote against their own interests (in the long run).  I present “Rock the Slut Vote” (note the URL: WarOnWomen – catchy, eh?) with the tag line of  “We believe women who unite and vote will rock the world.”

But only if you are a slut? After the jump is a list, a la Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck if” on who is a slut.  Yikes!

How do you show your empathy for the people living under your yoke?  Get rich bastards™ (Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour) and clueless celebrities–rich bastards™ (Sarah Jessica Parker)–to pimp your ‘Middle Class street cred’ while you run off to six fundraisers on the day the crappy job numbers come out. Isn’t Obama’s Super PAC called Priorities … Read more

There’s No Justice In It At All

Having laid out the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute as a think-tank puppet for the advancement of taxation and the Democrat parties social and economic justice agenda in New Hampshire, I felt compelled to follow that up with an addendum on the deeper evil that lay beneath the facade of a “well meaning” left wing policy group.

First, the terms Social and Economic justice are redundant.  They are the same thing.  The redistribution of money by the state through tax policy for some random, current notion of social justice is economic justice and vice-cersa.  You can’t have one lie without the other.  And as Jonah Goldberg points out in Tyranny of Clichés,  Social Justice as a concept can result in dangerously misleading nonsense.  On the matter of the injustice of high unemployment (for example) he asks..,

“..who is being unjust?  The employers who cannot afford more workers?  The consumers who refuse to create enough demand to justify more workers?  The government for not taxing innocent parties to pay for labor that isn’t needed and that they did not vote for?  Social Justice assumes rights–social rights, economic rights, etc.–that cannot be enforced.”

U.N. Me

U.N Me is a documentary about the U.N.  available in Theaters and V.O.D. (I’ll let the trailer speak for itself.)

CACR-12 must be DEFEATED. It is poison.

CACR-12 is the much-touted “educational amendment” that is said to aggresively deal with the egregious and outrageous “Claremont decisions” by the New Hampshire state Supreme Court. It does nothing of the sort. Here’s why:

Could Hating the Yankees Take A Back Seat to This?

Red Sox fans don’t care for the New York Yankees.  Yankees fans think it is because the Yankees are so dominating.  I think it is because of Yankees fans, but that’s just me.  I don’t hate either of them, but I find the arrogance a bit distracting and have no problem rooting for their opponents … Read more

GrokTV Special Interview: Josh Youssef for NH State Senate. Question 4: Devolvement of power back to the local level from Concord? And unfunded mandates?

To a large degree, the voters kicked out the extreme spending Democrats in 2010 and decided that Republicans would be better at governing the State.  Part of what the Republicans have done is to try to return power, that the Democrats gathered into Concord, back to local communities.  I asked Josh about his stance on … Read more

Dave Willoughby Wants to Know Why He Was Detained?

Dave Willoughby is asking the same question I asked yesterday.  Where’s the proof?   All those cameras, phones, iPods, all with video, so where are the pictures of the threat he supposedly represented?   This close to a close election and it’s is nowhere to be found?  Wouldn’t Barrett gain from from proof of a Walker supporter … Read more
