Presidential Primary 2016 – well, after all, it HAS already started

“I’m against having a King” And of course, one of the big questions is “like father like son?”  Certainly among the candidates that are being mentioned is Rand Paul. Here he is on gun control and Obama’s threat to use Executive Orders against the Second Amendment: ”I think having a monarch is what we fought … Read more

Cultural Marxism and the Origins of ‘Modern’ Sexual Morality

“…and they also fear their Government.” – Part (insert number here)

Here is a video from OathKeepers, an organization that believes once one takes the oath to the US Constitution, it always remain in force.  In these times, when even Peggy Noonan believes that there is widespread angst, we see an organization that holds up, not the US House, not the US Senate, and not even … Read more

Extremist Circumstances

Being a part time ‘hobby blogger’ who REALLY LIKES their hobby, I try to do more than is humanly possible.  (Yes, despite being a Conservative, I am also human).  One of the inhumanly impossible things I like to try to do but often fail (see also only ever did once last year that I can recall) is to visit the pages of other bloggers for content with the intent of linking and sharing it with our readers at GraniteGrok.

The ‘Other Bloggers’ in this instnce are folks I met at RightOnline 2012 or have since corresponded with–at least once to get their contact info–but have probably really been in contact with since then.  This is no reflection on any of us because we’re all busy rhetorically burning fossile fuels at both ends, so time is in short supply.  Everyone is busy working on their stories for their readers and that is as it should be.  But that does not mean we (or in this case me) do not mean well when we express a desire to share content.

So this morning (as my vacation winds down) I stepped out into the sphere to look for something to share but having forgotten to leave behind a trail of digital bread crumbs I got distracted and lost track of time.   The end result isn’t even a T-shirt that reads I went to GraiteGrok and all I got was More Right Wing Extremism.  Instead you get this.

Ban Cities Not Guns…?

A quick look at violent crime, how it has improved, and where it is not improving. Who is it that runs most major cities?  Who want’s us all corralled into urban areas?  I think the answer to both of those questions is (overwhelmingly) Democrats.  Just saying. H/T JR Hoell

Assault Weapons – Chuck Woolery’s thoughts

Chuck has another video out – this time his take on why he needs his assault weapon.  After all, “…to blame assault weapons for these tragedies would be like blaming airplanes for the 9/11 attacks.  The problem lies with the perpetrator and not the tools used to commit the crime” “Our Founding Fathers wanted every … Read more

“Are you guys incompetent, or what?”

I hardly ever watch anything on CNBC – although after this, perhaps I should watch MarisaBartiromo more often.  After all, how cool is that for a media person to call a sitting US Senator incompetent to his face on national TV (all ratings aside, it STILL is a national TV show)?  Them be words that … Read more

Unedited Union Attack Video

Steven Crowder answers the question of pretext to the union violence in Michigan with this unedited video and asks, why are their no union protesters video taping the goings-on while the Right to Work folks have multipe cameras recording activists on both sides. Maybe this is why?   Hot Air

Someone Else Now A Solid Second For NH-GOP Chairman

What a difference five days makes.  Last tuesday we reported on a poll running at the political fiction section of the NH Blogosphere (also known as NH Journal), in which the establishment candidate for NH-GOP chairman, Jennifer Horn was running in third place behind Andrew Hemingway and ‘Someone Else.’

A few hours later we updated that story with a report of an alert on Horn’s Facebook page about the poll that had pushed her into second but that surge seems to have vanished.  ‘Someone Else’ is now leading Jen Horn by 11 points.
