Score another for the 2nd Amendment…

In true Constitutional form, Nottingham, NH passed an ordinance, allowing Town employees to wear their sidearm to work, and on Town property, where legally permitted (for citizens). Some residents are expressing safety and liability concerns, yet Police officers can already wear their sidearm into the building/property. I suggest that the Town offer a safety course, given by … Read more

Democrats “Deem” Next Years Budget In Late Night Vote

  According to Human Events late last night the Democrat majority Congress attached a document which ‘Deemed as passed’ a 1.12 trillion dollar budget.  The document was attached to the War supplemental bill and approved on partisan lines (despite bi-partisan objection) 215-210. It will come as no surprise to New Hampshire residents that Both Paul … Read more

Carol Is Still Batting .980

Carol “98%” Shea Porter surprised several people when she offered to co-sponsor HR 1207, the Audit the Fed Resolution.  The bill, sponsored by Republican Ron Paul would require an audit of the not so independent “independent” central bank. 

The hobgoblins who run the Fed were not interested in an audit for obvious reasons.  As the manipulators of monetary policy they were and are responsible for trying to manage the boom bust cycle or more appropriately (and more likely) causing it. But they were still part of the government, so for Carol to step up and make even a token gesture was unexpected. 

Or was it?

The End Of The Road

Hat in hand, governor Lynch is looking for the feds to bail him out of the accumulated disaster of his administration. On the matter of extending federal unemployment benefits (from this morning’s Union Leader) the governor was emphatic.

Failure to do so (to extend federal benefits) will jeopardize the economic progress we’ve been making, Lynch said, warning that roughly 20,000 people in the state could run out of benefits in the next four months. Next week alone, 938 people will lose their benefits, he said.

Progress?

You have so mismanaged your stewardship of the state budget, been so beholden to years of irresponsible legislative spending and grossly inaccurate revenue projections, that we are incapable of finding even a few million dollars anywhere in our own state of New Hampshire to resolve any problem without further flights of legislative fancy or begging an even more bankrupt federal government for another handout.

You put us here John Lynch. You created this monster.

INCREASING LAWLESSNESS IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

While the New York Times and the Washington Post engage in a corrupt, see-no-evil, ongoing cover-up, the truth about the increasingly lawless U.S. "Justice Department" continues to seep out, thanks mostly to the Internet and other alternative media.

Competence, Mr. President

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 

This is considered to be ….working?

(H/T: The Campaign Spot)

The Progressive ideology posits that Big Government is THE answer to our problems, that simply by getting the brightest and smartest people into Government, they can "guide" us to a social utopia.  That a competent Government can smooth over the ills of everyday life.  Really?  Not if you read this:

Drop Dead Fed

In the most recent issue of National Review Gary Wolfram, Professors of Economics and Public Policy at Hillsdale College wrote this in regard to Mises and Hayek’s Austrian business-cycle theory.

 

""This theory emphasizes the role of the interest rate in bringing together the plans of producers and consumers. The interest rate is the price of loanable funds — in effect, the price of money — and, like the price of any good or service, it gives producers information about consumers’ behavior and the actions of other producers. For example, if consumers wish to save — to put their money in banks, which lend it out — they will increase the supply of loanable funds, putting downward pressure on the interest rate. Producers can then borrow that money cheaply and invest in capital goods such as machinery, factories, and housing — which they can use to create goods for consumers to buy in the future with the money they have saved. Thus do producers and consumers arrive at the equilibrium interest rate, which matches producers’ plans to invest in capital goods with consumers’ desire to save.

Why should Christians be involved in government and politics?

Last night, I was at an event at the Word of Life Christian Fellowship Church (Senor Pastor Thomas Peetz, Rev. Ed carnahan, Associate Minister) where we may have seen the rebirth of the Black Robed Regiment.  This was the name given to the clergy at the time of the Revolutionary War that provided much of the intellectual, motivational, and spiritual leadership during the struggle for this new country.  From the shackles of tyranny to the Freedom, it has often been said that without them, we’d still be speaking the King’s English.

The Patriot Pastor – Garrett Lear, a most imposing gentleman (to the left, above) – gave the opening invocation and a sermon.  It struck me so that I found him after the event and asked if I could post what he had read.  It is listed below: 

Why should Christians be involved in government and politics?

Evil men don’t understand the importance of justice, but those who follow the Lord are much concerned about it – Proverbs 28:5.

A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor as a lion or bear attacking them – Proverbs 28:15
With good men in authority people rejoice, but with the wicked in power, they groan – Proverbs 29:2
When rulers are wicked their people are too, but good men will live to see the tyrants downfall – Proverbs 29:16

Where there is ignorance of God, the people run wild, but what a wonderful thing it is for a nation to know and keep His laws – Proverbs 29:18

If the moral, righteous people of our country do not take their responsibility in government, then we leave the doors open for our nation to be governed by the wicked and immoral.

America has a unique form of government that can only work well if…

You Must Claim To Have Balance Daniel-san

State Senator Maggie "the red" Hassan had a puff piece in the New Hampshire Sunday News to defend the NH democrats “balanced Budget.”  We can tell right away that Ms. Hassan is going to take us on a fanciful journey because of her opening clause.  “Scarce resources make for difficult budgets…”  It is from this … Read more

TEA Party – racist? Misogynist?

From Powerline, a poller who worked with Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Mike Lee has a report: In my primary polling, I have taken to asking this question: "Do you consider yourself to be more closely aligned with the traditional Republican Party, or with the Tea Party movement that has arisen in the past year?" … Read more

“You Betcha!”

In response to a Letter to the Editor from Tim Sullivan in the local paper,  Daily Sun (P6):

To the Editor,

Tim Sullivan, in his Letter of 6/25/10 wrote the following: "Hopefully the selectmen and Budget Committee members of Gilford are not so busy…that they don’t have time to actually read the newspapers and either watch or listen to the news on a regular basis. Their decision making should be based on the outlook for the situation in their community and not their own personal situations and affinity for pet projects."

I have two words for you: "You betcha!".

Speaking for myself: These are hard economic times; I believe they aren’t getting better anytime soon. For the past two years, even though Gilford budgets have been pretty much flat, I have been critical and questioning of any expenditure for new programs or purchases (e.g., "can we put off the new phone system or that new truck until the economy gets better?") in an attempt to move property taxes even lower; during these times, we can and should spend less. And yes, if that means cutting back on lesser priorities, those "less than absolutely essential services", so be it.

Even town government, should only do what would ordinarily be difficult for even groups of individuals to do; it should not be doing things simply because we have grown lazy, outsourced our individual responsibilities to others, or that it “feels right and good". Sadly, we seem all too willing to shuck off those responsibilities with a response of "someone will do it", "there ought to be a law", or "government should/will take care of it".

However, there are those that absolutely believe that Government has to spend more to take care of its citizens and should always do more; they have it exactly wrong. American style of governance as envisioned by our Founders, was built solely to protect our Rights, be a limited government that relied more on people taking care of themselves, and not be in the business of taking care of our every need (real or perceived). They never speak of the harm they do to others by raising taxes to pay for higher spending, for that would spoil the narrative.

Tim is right – this is not a time to spend.

The Bikini Burqa Bloviators
