So  Mitch Kopacz, President of Gun Owners of NH, what’s the deal?  You REALLY think that “Pravda on the Merrimack” (aka, the outpost of the liberal MSM called the Concord Monitor) is as supportive of the Second Amendment as GraniteGrok is?  And THEY, the reporter and photographer, were then allowed to breeze past the hotel manager at the front door and saunter right in?  And we were given the bum’s rush?

Now remember, we’ve already seen ONE stricture of “No Cameras / No Recording / No Media” broken by Scott Brown’s own campaign staff.  Now, a couple of videos showing that:

• CONSERVATIVE media got restricted from entering the Holiday Inn (Concord, NH) and was told to leave the property.
• LIBERAL media was allowed to walk right into the hotel – right past the “hotel manager” that kicked us off the property.

Again, this was at the behest of both Scott Brown and Gun Owners of NH (“GONH”).  So, first up for video is myself and Rick Olson (a GONH member, by the way) being told that we were persona non grata – and a bit of a back story to it as well…

That would be Bob Ward, the SanborntonTown Planner screaming those words at NH State Rep Jane Cormier when the Planning Board held an “information session” on May 1st on six amendments that wound themselves making more of the town open for workforce housing.  It was obvious that actually educating folks as to what was really below the surface Granite State Future / Sustainable Communities Initiative was really getting under his (and the other “urbanizers of NH” skin; the jig is up as the word is getting out.  As I said in the post, it was clear that there was an Agenda (that was just for you, Bob) that the board wanted these to pass and seemed to be rather annoyed that the townfolk assembled were not all that enthused.  And, as the post relates, all of the amendments that changes boundaries, changed terminologies, and changed the nuances went down for flaming defeats.

Perhaps this next meeting (without Bob Ward, the town lawyer and a few others)  had a bit to do with it:  Jane Cormier and Susan Olsen went back to talk about some of the items that the Board conveniently left out of their “information session” (as Mom always told me, there’s lying by commission and lying by omission).  Yes, some of these segments go for a while (the meeting went two hours plus) but are VERY much worth your time – especially in the reactions, the questions, and discussions of the residents that showed up. I am betting that no small amount of Trust evaporated that night.

Consistency breeds Trust which yields Votes.  The operative word is “Consistency” – is what you SAY congruent with what you DO?  Can we, as voters (notice I DIDN’T say “Members of the NH GOP State Committee” – at least, thus far) see that Consistency and can we depend upon it?  Are we so sure of it that, once elected, we no longer need to pay close attention because you will not violate our Trust (or is it the flip side: we kvetch because we can’t?)?  So during the recently held NH GOP Annual Meeting, I listened.  In fact, I listened hard – I wanted to hear Consistency.  I wanted to hear the words that matched their actions this past year.  Oh sure, I know these types of meetings are “rah-rah!” for the upcoming cycle – but I still tried to listen for the Consistency-to-come.  And then when I started to process the video, I listened again.  And then, transcribed certain speeches to ensure I WAS hearing things correctly.

And then I started to compare the spoken words to other words and to Actions.  First up was our junior US Senator, Kelly Ayotte.  So, what do you think I found?  Here is the video again:

Here is the transcript – with my commentary:

During Dr. William Baer’s talk at this past Monday night’s Rochester 9/12, a long term education person brought up an observation that I have seen myself:

I video’d teachers and other “educational professional’s before – here at a meeting of the Moultonborough School Board – to the point where a parent called them out over it: “you’ve crossed a line”.  I’ve seen / heard the same thing around the blogosphere.  One such post was a recent one by Kyle Olson over at The Blaze (emphasis mine, reformatted):

Yes, mea culpa – I spelled Sanbornton wrong in every single one of the following videos; I apologize!  On Thursday, May 1st, the Sanbornton Planning Board held a session in which the town’s residents could ask questions about the upcoming voting on zoning Amendments, especially as Workforce Housing (e.g., low cost, higher density, clustered developments).  It was clear, especially when the Town Planner had an outburst of “YOU HAVE YOUR FUTURES!  YOU HAVE YOUR AGENDA 21s!!!” in trying to deny NH State Rep Jane Cormier a few minutes to speak (Ah yes, the retaliation of our betters against “the rabble”, eh?) that the board was attempting to “stack the meeting’.  While a couple of folks seemed to be in favor of the WFH oriented Amendments, most were not.  All videos after the jump.

In fact, the voting on the amendments yesterday showed that the whole concept got a huge thumbs DOWN as evidenced by the article in today’s Laconia Daily Sun (emphasis mine, reformatted):

WORKFORCE HOUSING AMENDMENTS TAKE BEATING IN SANBORNTON

…All six zoning ordinance amendments failed as town residents said no to so-called workforce housing.

Pretty it wasn’t for those that were for these.  As I listened to the entire meeting from the 1st, I mentally kept checking off in my head – yup, this is the EPA / HUD / DOT’s Sustainable Communities Initiative.  Yes, as you can hear the Planner’s outburst and

Continuing on from the previous post, next up during the meeting was a presentation by Matt Spencer, a team leader with the NH Chapter of the Concerned Veterans of America. Turns out, a great place to be as it seemed that 1/3 to 1/2 of the audience (did I tell you that the place was packed??) were vets (and a good deal more associated with vets).  Discussions were about upcoming events, advocacy, the absolute tragedy of the VA denying medical care to vets simply to make their “numbers” look good, and the mental illnesses that vets are experiencing and how other vets can help:

The last major update of the night was from Dr. William Baer (aka Billy Baer) and Josh Youssef on Dr. Baer’s arrest at the behest of the Gilford School Board as they tried to stonewall his efforts to get answers from them on why they permitted Teen Porn to be part of the curriculum that his freshman daughter was forced to read:

We had an extended segment with Dr. William Baer (aka, Billy Baer) that was arrested at this past Monday’s Gilford School Board simply because the Gilford School Board decided that they had to use their Power to stifle an angry parent’s ire about them allowing Teen Porn into his daughter’s Freshman class (taught by Gail Hutchinson).  This has gone viral nationally (and we have been writing about it here, here, here, here, here, here, and here for starters – and for a bonus, here’s an older post (same cast of characters) of the Gilford School Board antics – head over to GilfordGrok and do some searches as well.  While it has been dormant for a while, topmost post also shows uber-government bootlicker, Joe Wernig on display – he was the guy badmouthing Dr. Baer while saying “Hey, the school wants to make my daughters read Teen Porn – NO PROBLEM!  School over parents is his mantra, I guess).

Anyways, here is our first segment (of three) with Dr. Baer:
