I somehow missed this one. I’ll rank it as my second favorite so far. My first is on the jump.
Don’t Say There Is No Place To Cut.
Privatize the public school system and shift the educators, staff, maintenance, and transportation and facility costs off the books, along with converting public benefits and pensions into the same kind of programs the rest of the private markets have, and you would see property tax rates plummet.
Granite State Progress Goes Tucson
This week I did a call-in because last week Zandra Rice Hawkins of Granite State Progress attended Congressman Guinta’s town hall in Laconia, and at one point decided to storm up towards the podium to ‘set the record straight.’ She was not tackled, tasered or shot. In fact she spoke her mind–as liberals are wont to do–without interruption and was even given a chance to ask questions despite essentially hijacking the event.
Data Points – just a lot fewer of them?
From the American Spectator: This gem from Spain — Madrid’s mayor proclaimed massive air pollution reductions except, ah, "The state prosecutor’s office found that in 2009 the Madrid municipality had quietly moved nearly half its pollution sensors from traffic-clogged streets in the city centre to parks and gardens" — reminds us of the cheapest way … Read more
What It Means To Support Planned Parenthood
Progressive-liberal democrats will present themselves at the hearing for HB 228 on Tuesday February 8th to advocate for the continued public funding of Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire. So maybe we should ask what it is they could be advocating?
Planned Parenthood has been implicated in a willingness to conceal sex trafficking, hide abortions performed on minors and prostitution.
Trafficking illegal immigrant minors in the sex trade.
And allowing the sexual abuse of minors including statutory rape without consistent and prompt reporting to the proper authorities.
Now I am not claiming that Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire or New England is complicit in any of these acts specifically, though they may be, I cannot say. But they are guilty by association and it is that association that by itself should exclude them from any taxpayer funded support of any kind–particularly for those who think giving tax dollars to an abortion mill is not reason enough.
Planned Parenthood is guilty at the very least for failing to ingrain in their corporate, medical and professional culture the need to protect and defend the lives and bodies of these young girls, these children, in every office, in every community they serve, before any other corporate, professional or ideological objective.
That has not been the case and those who advocate for them should be considered complicit.
Norelli Tries To Feed You The Blue Pill (again)
Democrats latest rallying cry is that we can’t cut the state budget if it means downshifting costs on the towns. But they didn’t seem to care too much about all the downshifting when they were doing it.
But that is what you get when you let left wing clowns run your state. Larsen/Norelli/Suckley Investment Advisers Inc, the Fat Cat Executives of the Tax and Spend Democrat Party of New Hampshire, gave the state government a one billion dollar bonus ($1,000,000,000.00) on the backs of the towns and the taxpayers during a job shedding, wage declining recession.
And we are now to believe this concerns them? The only thing that concerns the Democrats is if and how they can blame someone else for their destruction, and find a way back into power so that the lefts only solution to a billion dollar deficit can be enacted as swiftly as possible.

A call for violence: Jump on it, all you lefties!
The political left is anti-freedom. That much is clear. It also thrives on violence and threats of violence.
But as any scary, dangerous, wild-eyed, right-wing, extremist, believer-in-the-Constitution can explain, the only time that violence is philosophically justifiable is in defense of life, rights, and property.
The political left, on the other hand—including so-called liberals, activist Democrats, union thugs, and other fellow-traveling fascists—always seems to feature anti-liberty scabs using intimidation and threats of violence.
And it seem to work just fine! For instance….

“The fact is, elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do.”
Still clearing out old drafts (this from 4/13/2011) that got kicked to the curb for some reason and finding that many are “timeless”: No, they shouldn’t. But you, Madam Pelosi, and folks like you, both Democrat and Republican, have made them matter – a great deal. It’s like pouring molten plastic into the interstitial spaces … Read more
The One-Trick Tax-And-Spend Donkey By Any Other Name…
The New Hampshire democrats have a name for their new 501(c)(4) non-profit. It’s the July Fourth Forum. What, “We just lost The Whole Damn State” was already taken?
As with most things named by democrats it presents a notion diametrically opposite its true intention. We see this same naming tactic in their legislation (at least in DC). Their bills always have the words American, Freedom, Rights, Choice, or Affordable in the name, usually including two or more at any given time. This is meant to serves as a warning to anyone who dares gaze upon the hundreds of thousands of words that follow the name of their bill (not that they want anyone to actually read them). If allowed to become law it will hurt Americans, deny freedoms, infringe rights, cost a fortune and leave you with whatever choice the government has decided is best for you and few if any other.
So the only word in any name of any Democrat bill that has any hope of being remotely accurate must be the word “Act.” As in, that American-Freedom-Rights-and choice-stuff is all just an act.
Which brings us back to Kathy Sullivan’s ‘”July Fourth Forum.”

Snow is fun but I wanted to post something cool to look at as well.
Unemployment Update
The US Bureau Of Laboring Statistics calculates the latest rate of unemployment at 9%. We do however have to question the methodology and the real fact that another 300,000 or so people gave up looking for work. Real Unemployment is still in the teens and inflation for food and fuel is rising.
Who is being schooled, again?
(H/T: Townhall) In the same vein, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), a TEA Party favorite, showed once again that this freshman class may not have to work long to show that it has already earned its chops. With the decision of Judge Vinson in Florida that since the Individual Mandate in Obamacare is unconstitution, the whole … Read more
