Women are forced everyday to make sacrifices and its time that we put pressure on Congress and this Administration to stop playing games and get back to work for the American people. … Read more

Public Education Money Pit

DoE Money pit - Obama and Duncan keep shoveling it into the bottomless holeGeorge Bush 43 doubled the budget at the Department of Education over eight years to roughly $32 billion.  Barack Obama more than double it again with the only bloated budget the Democrat congress ever dared to pass.

That first Obama budget increased spending at the Department from Education from $32 billion per year in 2009 to $71,000,000,000.00 (Billion) per year by 2011.   That works out to over $400 million more dollars spent per school day nationally (assuming 180 days of school), in addition to all the state or local taxes you also pay for public education.  And Obama want’s more.  For what you ask?

Obama and his Progressive view of the Constitution to get what he wants

As John from Powerline put it: Yet the Supreme Court has expanded the scope of the clause beyond all recognition, to the point where it has rendered the most basic principle of the Constitution, that our national government is one of limited and enumerated powers, almost a nullity. Michael Ramirez illustrates graphically how one clause, … Read more

A Merrimack State Of Mind – Partisan Non-Partisan Elections

They … Read more

Has Obama lost touch with reality?

Has President Obama lost touch with reality? Even for a consummate liar, President Obama’s statement that Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) was “passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress” is stunning.

Obamacare was so unpopular that deals (the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, etc) were required to get enough Democrat senator support for passage.

GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 10 – TEA Party and 9/12 Project?

Next to last question and again to the grassroots organization.  As with the other interviews, the idea is to get a sense of what people in leadership within the NH GOP (as she is the Deputy Speaker) are thinking about the Liberty and Freedom groups that have a stand off view of the NH GOP.  Can and will these pitches be believed – and should the L & F groups once again think there is a place for them other than as shock troops:

Federal Government – Sure, they’re good stewards of taxpayer monies….#FAIL

 The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”
– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Earlier, Rick posted the news how efficiently our Federal Government was exerting stewardship of our hard earned taxpayer monies:

In October of 2010, The U.S. Government Services Administration spent over $835,000 on a four-day “training” conference for 300 GSA employees…held at a luxury hotel outside Las Vegas.

This was in a post from The Corner that was in response to the same news:

Union Stormtroopers Training for Mob Rule?

A Short Message From President Obama

I know.  You’re tired of hearing messages from President Obama.  But this is important.  In fact, it may be the last message you will ever need to hear, because it sums up not just his entire Presidency but every talking point of the modern Democrat party.   [jwplayer mediaid=”20729″]

In A Van Jones Down By The River

Van Jones.  Saying stuff just to say it.  Like, “Libertarians hate Brown folk, Gays, and Lesbians.”  Yeah, right.   Not. Did he say ‘Brown Folk?’  Who the hell still talks like that?  

Internet Doodlings – At TreeHugger, environmentalists are like Obama: Constitution?

OK, commenter “mer” had me dead to rights:  Skip,  as a young boy, did you run around with sticks poking bears and hornet’s nests?  😉

My response was:  No, mer, I didn’t – but I have found out, as an adult, that it is good, clean (and cheap!) fun!

So, I went back and did it again at TreeHugger.  It seems that even at that bastion of Environmentalism (Leftist branch), there is talk about the Obamacare oral arguments:

If the Supreme Court Throws Out Health Care Law, Might Environmental Protections be Next?

The jist of the post is that they are following in line with Obama’s reasoning: The Supremes should not throw out a democratically passed piece of legislation. No positive mention of the Constitution as a limiting document – merely kvetching that other liberal programs, especially the EPA, would be at risk.  That would be, except for a couple of conservative outlier commenters like yours truly.  I responded to this comment which, in turn, was in response to an earlier one (emphasis mine):

” If you do not carry health insurance, you are not a threat to others. “

Have you ever heard of people passing germs and thus sickness? Yes, lack of healthcare is a threat to others.

I really shook my head at this – I’d hate to be this guy, walking around, thinking everyone around me could do me harm with a simple cough or sneeze!  THIS is the argument of choice as to why Obamacare is constitutional and should not be thrown out – “Daddy, she gave me germs!”:

Shaheen Tweets – The Return of Warren Buffett’s Secretary

Senator Shaheen Tweets- Warren Buffets SecretarySenator Shaheen must be following orders, why else resurrect this left wing meme?  “Buffet pays effective tax rate of 11% Avg is 13.5% He’s paying lower rate than his own secretary.” (Just when Obama is pushing the Buffett rule again. Hmmmm.)

So here’s my problem.  When did “secretary” stop being one of those sexist, politically incorrect words we were forbidden to use?  Isn’t ‘secretary’ demeaning to women. Oh, wait, not when it makes the newest pawn in your Obamnomics Class Warfare Chess Set seem like a dowdy single mother instead of a 1%er who probably gets great bonuses and awesome Christmas presents from the Billionaire boss. (Chess set pieces delivered every four to six weeks, only 670 billion plus shipping and handling for each.)

OK, that’s not really the problem.  I want to know when Warrent Buffett’s ‘Secretary’ stopped paying 35.8%?

Richard de Seve – gee, there’s more! Student reviews…..and he’s a Truther???

OK, given how much GraniteGrok has been blogging about Richard de Seve and his political activities on the taxpayer dime, it was finally logical to Google him and see “have we been able to get our investigation out there?”.  The answer is yes: the two highest rated search items are about his LinkIn profile – and then GraniteGrok’s posts start showing up immediately thereafter with no small smattering of other sites reposting our stories.  But I found two other totally unrelated items about Mr. de Seve that were unexpected – Koofers.com (a student-rating-professor site) and a Letter that Mr. de Seve wrote back in 2006 at (where else??) the Concord Monitor (I have screen scraped the Letter if need be, given it’s content.).  First, Koofers:

Arrogant, pompous, driven by ideology, more agenda – how could I be surprised? But that ain’t the worst of it!  He decided to share his thoughts about 9/11 with us (emphasis mine):
