A palate cleanser – Still The Greatest Country EVAH!

Lots of people on the Left still absolutely hate the United States; they see us as a flawed country birthed by old, white, rich men that hated everything and everyone around them (hmmm, think about that cognitive dissonance).  One man, a black man, who has succeeded beyond most peoples’ wildest dreams, answers these twerps back: … Read more

Pat Condell: I think

“Let me get this straight.  We’re supposed to show tolerance and respect for a religion that doesn’t know the meaning of either word and goes out of its way to prove it every day?”

“All week we’ve heard Muslims telling us that we in the West need to understand how important the prophet is to them.  We do understand, and we don’t care… we don’t give a damn about your feelings.  Our feelings are more important, and our feelings tell us that we’re sick to the back teeth of hearing about your religion, so stick a sock in it.”

Respect is earned in the West – not demanded. It is also a two way street – when Muslims think it is one way only and that our Rights are something to be sacrificed on your Alter of an Honor-Society.  Of COURSE there are Dhimmis in the West that will bow so low that you Islamists might think they are showing respect. Or, at least the Dhimmis think they are showing something akin to “respect”.  You Islamists know better – their Neville Chamberlin show-alikeis merely a mask of something more dangerous to us: fear.  You smell weakness in our elected American leaders, Barry and Hillary – you’re smiling as half of your work is already accomplished. That commercial that the State Department ran in Pakistan of President Obama and Sec. of State Hillary prostrating themselves over an American exercising their First Amendment Right was not just a waste of $70K of taxpayers monies, they merely showed us how partisan they are – and not on the side of the traditional American way of life.  Free Speech means being able to say what we want, when we want, where we want, and about what we want – and whether it offends you or not.

And they are embarrassed about it. And that is the saddest thing of all.

S.3307 The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act…Guess Who Voted for It?

Michelle Obama Minister of crappy public school lunches
Eat that spinach…Eat it!

S.3307 (2010) is the legislation that empowered the Feds to regulate local school lunches. It is the regulation that is driving up the cost of school lunches by law because the law demands parity of price regardless of cost. It is the law that limits the number of calories and other nutritional elements to a national standard, regardless of a student’s size or activity level. It is the law that limits menu choices to those defined by the central government, choices kids are rejecting in large numbers, resulting in food being wasted. (Food that costs more because of the law.)

Kids are hungry. High School Athletes are under-nourished. They don’t like or want the food being forced on them. Black markets are forming to fill the need. And food is being wasted.

Let’s face it, Hungry kids do not make good students. This law is a turd sandwich.

So who among the New Hampshire Delegation voted for this crappy central planning nightmare? How about all of them.

Fall is the time for yard sales…..are you doing one for Obama??

Ugh.  First, the audacity of asking that in lieu of a wedding gift as you and your spouse start your new life together, consider having them just send money to a political campaign (Obama’s).  I know Michelle all wants us to move more and eat less better, but to skip a meal and then send … Read more

Nanny Staters / Progressives really do believe this – you ARE incapable of making rational decisions!

And they are happy to fix that situation….and in fact, demand that they be allowed to meddle in our lives.  After all:

Democrat NH House Rep. Kris Roberts of Keene uttered on the floor of Representative Hall these fine words concerning Government and his fellow citizens:

“Government has to protect us from our own stupidity.”

Many of the delegates at the recently completed Democrat National Convention agreed with this – they have no problem believing that people have the freedom to choose for themselves but only if they make the right decisions:

(H/T: Reason TV )

“I’m pro-intervention.”

Q: So people should only be allowed to make “good” choices?

A: No, people should make choices that have good results

Jerry Thibodeau – interview from our endorsed Candidate for NH Executive Council, District 1

Normally WE are the ones that are doing the interviews – partly because we like to yak, partly because we like to yak with interesting people, and partly because, well, we like to yak.  And in interviews, we love to listen to what the interesting folks have to say.  Sadly, though, with real jobs and even more real lives with stuff that can be put off for only so long, time gets short.  Thus, getting all the interviews we’d like to doesn’t always work out as we’d like.

So, in this case, Jerry was on a public access show, New Hampshire Issues with Peter Martin, and has graciously sent this one over.  It goes, in total, just under an hour so I’ve chopped it up.  Part 1 here and the rest after the jump.

Mythology 101: The Imaginary War On Women”

All we hear nowadays from the Left is that Republicans are waging a war on women; the logical fallacy of the premise escapes most of them (and those driving this meme merely smile behind closed doors): really, would even the Stupid Party really decide to wage a war on 51% of the US population?  Well, … Read more

One Holder DoJ Witch Hunt Comes To A Close

Sheriff Joe Arpaio went after local corruption, and thumbed his nose at the Feds, so they tried to make an example of him.  But if there is a Joe you don’t mess with it’s the Sheriff of Maricopa county Arizona.

The DOJ initiated a number of investigations from abuse of power to charges of the Sheriff’s office misusing credit cards.  The end result?

All charges dropped.  And the local US Attorney…even she appears to be trying to back away from the whole thing.

Stingy Old People Who Are Stupid

I can only guess how Democrat State Senate candidate Lee Nyquist’s campaign manger reacted to Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention.  That campaign manager, Kevin Hodges, (batting coach for the New Hampshire Democrat party), had nothing kind to say about Republicans long before his invocation to beat them with a bat; particularity those who are as old as Clint Eastwood who is eighty-two.  And Eastwood’s party registration, whatever it may be, is of no consequence.  To Kevin ‘Awesome Cool Hodges’ he is probably just another one of those..

“…stingy old people who are stupid.”

That was his opinion of Republicans in the New Hampshire House back in April 2010, not long before his cool and awesome self got benched by the voters.  But he’s back, helping Democrat Lee Nyquist run on a campaign to ‘Bring Civility back to Concord,’  which is extremely humorous considering Nyquist can’t even bring civility to his own campaign.

Rand Paul at the RNC –

Trying to squeeze in speeches as time allows.  Condi Rice, Susana Martinez, and this guy.  Someday, if no one screws it up for him, this guy would probably make a good president.
