As Steve pointed out, there WERE plans by Democrat entities (only the DNC, DCCC, OFA, et al) to have Obama supporters act as mere political shills for Obamacare: talk to your kids, take on your crazy TEA Party uncle, have your guests bring SS cards and income statements, pull them aside and in soft tones … Read more
If You Like Your Plan You Can Keep It: The Rap (w/ Remy)
All around us, in print, on TV, in the blogosphere, I read, see, and listen how far we have come from the Founders Vision for America. I look at the Lefty side and wonder “how do they get away with this? How can they simply advocate for policies contra to our Fundamental Law, the values … Read more
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late for putting up LAST week’s video from GrokTALK!. And I have Grokster Steve to thank for reminding me. Well, he did start something at the end of Segment 2 that he just wanted to see – it buttresses our saying that we have the safest podcast in NH!

And that is because I have yet to figure out how best to tie in our “recording camera” into our new soundboard. Yes, a piece of kit (the board) that was brought in to solve a different problem (the old board was not handling the new phone lines well at all) that has now caused … Read more
Is it not tyranny when Government takes upon itself to define what is “acceptable” religious activity – and where it can be expressed and where it is denied (and that would be the Obama Administration)? But then again, the popular culture seemingly no longer believes or wishes to allow this and instead, prefers its trumping … Read more
Obama trying to weasel his way out of the Healthcare.gov fiasco: Right now, there is great insurance to be had out there…this is like having a really good product in a store and the cash registers don’t work and there aren’t enough parking spots and nobody can git through the door and so we are … Read more
I do watch Fox’s Special Report for the roundtable but never watch the Internet version that happens afterwards – I wish I had seen this segment but the Daily Caller did where the question was asked. My question is why is the Obama Administrative so hateful towards the upper Middle Class so much that, with the high premiums, the very high deductibles, and all of the other costs that have been piled into Obamacare, he delights in making them now be in the lower part of that Middle Class?
What is FAIR for a Government to do that to its own people, regardless of their socio-economic class? Does he really hate Americans that much?

After all, Glenn at Instapundit is always reminding us what Obama does for his enemies:
In 2009, President Obama “Joked” About Auditing His Enemies.
I’m not a C&W kind of guy – in fact, not much into music any more at all. But I was rather surprised at how few words could skewer so much. Not only that, the crowd was eating it up…
…except from Taylor Swift. Country singers tend to be a bit older and perhaps a bit wiser than the pop side of the music house – she has made it clear that she would not tell who she votes for but her facial expression conveyed a lot.

And of course, there is a large compilation of other country songs about Obamacare:
* I Walk the Lie
* Coward of the Country
* I Used To Be a Coal Miner’s Daughter, But Daddy’s Unemployed
* Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Democrats
* Thank Allah I’m a Commie Boy
Another skirmish in the Establishment – grassroots Civil War. I point out that while the DC Establishment is now out to crush those of us that pose a risk to their power, outside the beltway, those that are drawing their ire are hardly getting the cold shoulder from those that “brung them to the dance.” First, Ted Cruz goes back to Texas and gets an 8 minute standing O from the Texas Federation of Republican Women. Now, Mike Lee gets a 10 minute O from his Utah constituents:
How often, lately, have you seen this kind of reception for ANY Republican office holder?? It can be rather easy – but only if you have the guts. He (and Cruz) ran on doing one singular job – fight like heck for Principles. His constituents sent him to do a job. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz kept their promises and did what they promised. Their constituents have kept their promise to them – protect us, and we will protect you; “we’ll have your back”. Above shows they are doing just that. Betcha NH’s Republican former Congressman Frank

Prager University Today, it’s common to call acts of evil–whether of a criminal or of a tyrannical dictator–“irrational” or “mad.” Why? Sometimes, behaving cruelly is a matter of self-interest. What is truly unreasonable is to unnecessarily risk one’s life to save a stranger, like some non-Jews in Europe did during World War 2 when they … Read more
In the middle of August (yeah, I keep doing other things), I noticed that a whole bunch of new street signage started showing up in my small neighborhood in my tiny hamlet. They were that bright bright new color mandated by the Federal Government – not just that “it’s a new sign” bright but bright enough that if you had your high beams on, the reflection “hurt”. But that wasn’t really my bigger problem – take a listen:
So when I saw all these signs, I thought “What a waste of money – who authorized this stupidness”, so I called the Public Works Department.

They campaign, we elect. We expect them to write new legislation carefully and well. Study it, debate it, and then READ it. Lastly, vote on it. READ it. Vote on it. READ it. Vote on it. READ it. Vote on it. Simple? Not for our legislators, seemingly. Is this disease spreading to the EU?
…before going down to DC to help Obama destroy it nationwide. She is all about others controlling your healthcare – first here in NH where her horrible SB711 hurt NH families by reducing competition here in NH from over two dozen providers to effectively two – and premium rates soared. Then being one of the chief cheerleaders for Obamacare, we are now seeing what lies behind that kindly, grandmother visage – a willingness to hurt working families via much higher premiums and deductibles all in the name of a socialist healthcare system. Yes, they talk about the War On Women – but this is the War on Everybody. No longer is it a doctor and a patient – it is now Congress, the Obama Administration, and a huge bureaucracy (don’t forget the IRS!) that is writing rules on what a doctor can and cannot do. And now, with the blowback winding up to hurricane strength, she’s had a change of heart. First, though, watch her in action:
From Citizens For a Strong New Hampshire:
With the Obamacare “house of cards” collapsing, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen received much attention yesterday for “breaking ranks” with her fellow Democrats in distancing herself from her deciding vote for the law by calling on the Obama Administration to extend Obamacare’s open enrollment period amid continued frustration with the troubled HealthCare.gov website.

Children’s temper tantrums. They’re a fact of life. But when one little girl was screaming and crying recently, rather than getting frustrated or yelling back, her father took a different route. Instead of rebuking his daughter, he decided to “lip sync” and act out her entire tantrum — and record it on video. A clip … Read more
