Concord Monitor Wont Cover it, But They’ll help Cover It up.

There is Free Press and then there is Free Speech.  And then there is The Concord Monitor.  The Concord Monitor would like you to believe that it is a defender of both Free Press and Free Speech.   But if that were true, they would not be deleting comments that include links to posts at GraniteGrok.  … Read more

Big win in federal court for jury nullification movement and activist

    This is big news for the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA.org), as well as its New Hampshire affiliate where FIJA activism has been energetic for years, and where the state legislature’s majority Republicans generally support the effort. Read this, from Newsday on April 19, 2012: “NY judge tosses out jury nullification charges” “NEW YORK – … Read more

(US Senate) Democrats Still Running From The Budget

Hot Air: Only three Democrats bothered to show up at all, out of a dozen assigned to it.  Republicans showed up, prepared to cast votes to finally bring the ignominious streak of 1,085 days (as of yesterday) without a budget resolution to an end.  Sadly, Democrats — who control the committee, the chamber, and the … Read more

Seth Marshall Discovers Property Taxes

Originally posted Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 09:04PM

Hat tip out of the gate to fellow NHI front pager Richard Olsen Jr. for this fine bit or wordsmithing on Democrat Rep Seth Marshall’s brief letter to the Nashua Telegraph about a pamphlet on the burden of property taxes.  Mr. Marshall (it appears) feels blessed as if the contents of said pamphlet revealed the answer to a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma (which he discovered in the shadow of some penumbra no doubt.)  What’s the revelation?  That New Hampshire relies more heavily on property taxes.

That’s quite a discovery for a General Court lurker from the Fish and Game committee whose been a rep for four years.  Just figured that out Seth?  Oh, but not by himself–he’s got a pamphlet.  Hard to believe it hasn’t come to his attention sooner.  Seems to me it would be all the rage on the left wing.  So I guess Nashua Rep Brian Poznanski doesn’t invite him to the House parties–where it probably comes up all the time.  You know, the deal, drinking with minors, writing laws to get minors off if they get caught drinking, talking about property taxes.  Did you know New Hampshire apparently relies heavily on them?  (Property taxes, not drunk underage State Reps–well, actually have you seen the budget?) Did you also know that New Hampshire still has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country because it relies more heavily on property taxes?  It’s true.  That wasn’t in the pamphlet was it?

Want to know why?

Long read regarding socialist statism and voting Democrat….

Kiddy Socialism: Obama Redistributes LegosI regularly get into political scrums with leftists in various venues.

What follows is one where I got set off enough to pen a major lecture to a local socialist (I’ll call him “Chuck”). He was going on about what a successful President Barack Obama is, and how he truly deserves to be re-elected, and how all the “minorities” and “groups” targeted by Obama will vote for him.

So it began like this. I told him….

“Negros With Guns”

Ann Coulter relaxing on back porch....

Ann Coulter, despite her recent foolishness in attacking Newt Gingrich, is nearly always, ahem, “on target.”

As with her recent column, “Negros with Guns,” which starts out like this:

Liberals have leapt on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida to push for the repeal of “stand your ground” laws and to demand tighter gun control. (MSNBC’S Karen Finney blamed “the same people who stymied gun regulation at every point.”)

We don’t know the facts yet, but let’s assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and murdered him in cold blood, just because he was black. If that were true, every black person in America should get a gun and join the National Rifle Association…

GrokTV Special Event: AFP/NH 2012 Conservative of the Year Award – Intro ceremonies

This past Friday, we live streamed the Americans For Prosperity / NH’s Conservative of the Year Award given to US Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) for those who could not be there (either for scheduling or financial reasons).  Well, if you missed it, the entire live stream is after the jump.

Sidebar: On GraniteGrok 1.0, I could more easily put in multiple videos into a post in a side-by-side format.  I have YET to figure how that technique would work here in Grok 2.0 so I’m just going to do two or three videos per post (mostly two).

Here are the intro ceremony: Invocation, Pledge to the Flag, and the singing of the National Anthem (led by Kevin Smith, candidate for the Republican nomination for NH Governor).

Kevin also introduced Corey Lewandowski, Executive Director of AFP/NH, who served as the Master of Ceremonies:

GrokTV Special Event: AFP/NH 2012 Conservative of the Year Award – AFP/NH Executive Director Corey Lewanowski’s introductory remarks

“It’s my party and I talk if I want to!”  Heh!

Of COURSE Corey got to speak – he and his assistant Joy Lutes put a lot of time and effort into setting this up right and I think it came off well – I believe that every seat was filled in the large ballroom at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, NH.  And while the night was all about US Senator Kelly Ayotte receiving the award, make no mistake, Corey let some chips fly concerning issues that are near and dear to AFP’s heart.  He had no hesitation on letting loose about the NH GOP SuperMajority in the Senate failing to back issues as RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative), Right To Work, et al (good for him and well deserved whacks at NH Senators Bragdon and Bradley)

The Presidential candidates (including Obama, which draw guffaws from the crowd) were invited.  However, no one showed up (as opposed to last year’s award for Ovide Lamontagne) other than former NH Governor John Sununu who acted as a surrogate for Romney:

In answer to James Pindell: how many?

GrokTV Special Event: AFP/NH 2012 Conservative of the Year Award – Ovide Lamontagne, candidate for NH GOP nominee for NH Governor

AFP is, no doubt, a conservative organization that supports limited government, free markets, and lower taxes in the pursuit of enhanced individual freedom and liberty (full disclosure – I was selected to be AFP’s 2011 National Activist of the Year for GraniteGrok’s new media activities; I believe in these foundational ideas).  In being such, it … Read more

From the Democrat Socialists of America: We are working like crazy…………………..Granite State Patriot Liberty PAC: oh, really?

Bumped:  We getting ready to saddle up and head downrange to Dover for the event: BE THERE!

*****

From the Democratic Socialists of America in the language of Occupy Wall Street:

The 99% Spring Offensive is coming. Will you be there?

Groups from every corner of the progressive movement – inspired by the everyday heroes of Occupy Wall Street and Madison, Wisconsin – are planning a massive campaign of bold nonviolent direct actions to explain who REALLY brought on the Great Recession, and make the voices of the 99% impossible to ignore.

Their stated aims are aligned with Obama – the total transformation of the United States of America (where one goal is that Government, not Citizens, are in control).  And they are energized and working hard at doing just that.  Well, there is one group here in NH that is saying “Over our dead bodies!” – The Granite State Patriot Liberty PAC!  Jerry Delemus, who took over the PAC (in addition to his shepherding of the Rochester (NH) 9/12 Project) as Chair when Jack Kimball decided to run for NH Governor, has returned those reins to Jack Kimball.  And at a meeting of the GSPLPAC last night, Jack made it clear that the group is regrouping and come out fast and furious:

It Isn’t Getting Easier Being Green

I can’t recall how many leaders in the Republican’s War on Women have called on their misogynist foot soldiers to burn down Sandra Fluke’s house (or any of her defenders) for demanding we pay for her contraception; probably because there is no war from the Right, but even if there were, no one on the … Read more

(Re-Post FlashBack!) Introducing Rep Kevin Hodges (D-Awesome Cool)

(Originally posted April 20th, 2010, this is–I think–one of my classic rants and worthy of a re-post)

Introducing Rep Kevin Hodges (D-Awesome Cool)

Ah, the arrogance of youth.  Not long ago it was Brian “I have an LSR to get minors off for getting busted for possession of alcohol” Poznanski who was the whelp–having then gotten himself busted as a minor in possession of alcohol in front of a house full of minors and his LSR subsequently pulled.  That was fun, and illegal, but so five months ago.  Now we have Kevin Hodges (Hillsborough7) who hasn’t done anything illegal that we know of, but based on a chance encounter documented below I think we can draw a pretty picture of Mr. Hodges.

I’m just guessing but I bet Kev-Bo is wicked sick when it comes to the general court, and he’ll probably tell you as much.  But when you look up his voting record, he’s really just another BORG wired into Norelli’s hive.  He’s a big spender (No spending caps HB 1522), wants to make sure he can tax you as much as he needs to after he spends your money (Killed CACR 26) he’s not interested in the constitutionality of the general courts activities (voted to ITL HB 1343), and he seems more than willing to let the facilities committee pass judgement on things of a decidedly constitutional nature like banning guns from places (voted to kill HB1693) even though when given the chance to ban them legislatively he voted against it. (HB 1654).  Afraid to vote for it, but you’ll let them paper push it into existence, I see how you are.  And I didn’t look, but I bet he’s against parental rights.  Most young healthy men his age are.

What attracted my interest in Kevin–if you are wondering–was a recent encounter between Mr. Hodges and a new voter, (She’ll be 18 before November) documented in a letter to the editor of the Goffstown News.

Free Speech Rights? Not if you disagree with Greenpeace USA!
