And I think this is one of the things that drives the Left absolutely batty. Even as they are all about the Collective, unlike the Founders, they just are flabbergasted that the Right, made up of people purporting to be wrapped around Individualism, basically have out-collectived the Collective. Matt Kibbe, the head of FreedomWorks (an … Read more
I apologize to our readers for not living up to our normal quantity of posts that you have come to expect over the years that the ‘Grok has been open. Three of the five active bloggers of GraniteGrok have been affected by the aftermath of no power or internet access caused by the recent storm. … Read more
Direct from John Nolte at Big Government, we have a list things that the left wing and Democrats support and we can only assume emulate.
“In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.” —Larry Niven How does one become an Occupy Wall Street Protestor? A quest for understanding in a somewhat complicated topic. Why? Because there are some who seem to demonstrate a modicum of intelligence and articulate usage … Read more
No, not the kind of question that one would normally get at the cashier’s area, except we all are going to get bagged there, all thanks to our Federal Government. Specifically, we can blame US Senator Dick Durbin from (D-IL) who decided to monkey with the private sector yet again with his Durbin Amendment … Read more
From a reader: The clerk responded, "That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment." He was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the … Read more
“I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a ‘learning experience.’ Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I’ve done as a ‘learning experience.’ It makes me feel less stupid.“ -P.J. O’Rourke I was at a housing office today dropping off some “required paperwork.” As I sat waiting to review … Read more
This is the litigation lottery…nothing more. Despite the laws limiting liability, Jasmin probably lawyer-shopped, finding Mr. Branch to shake down the owner of the property. And more than likely, William Jasmin could care not one lick. He could care less that more property owners will now post their land and preclude hunting for countless others….preclude hikers, bird-watchers…mountain bikers.
Usually, BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) or PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) is actually describing those that pretty much go off the rails when either President Bush or Gov. Sarah Palin comes up. Here, however, my fellow Samsphere blogger friend, Maggie Thurber (Thurber’s Thoughts) takes apart a local union VP of communication as he runs off the … Read more
Taxation is a legalized theft with no limit; Ask Mark Fernald, the current titular class-warfare mouthpiece of the left in New Hampshire, how much property he needs the state to confiscate to end the class warfare he wages? What are the terms of peace Mark, or are they terms of surrender? Every month you go on and on with your class warfare but tell us, how long and how much? At what point is government large enough to solve all the problems you imagine it must confront?
Yes, Anthony Weiner probably did tweet a picture of his Weiner to a college co-ed. He is arrogant enough. They are both adults. It’s not as if he cheated on his wife and lied to a grand jury about it. But the coverup by the left wing organs (sorry) is a glorious display of self-immolation.

The civility narrative that preceded the Missoula Massacre was unleashed like some plague spread via-twitter from beneath the White House and was echoed from the President and all progressive points beneath, a call for civility made more often than an obsessive compulsive aunt checks the locks on the doors and windows before bedtime.
Just imagine the awe (and your own personal pride) at hearing stories about how your college age child–at an investment of anywhere from $15-50K per year–can put a ping-pong ball into a beer cup faster than Tiger can sink a mini-golf putt off the rail, through the windmill, under the waterfall and…Cuponk!
Oh, those absolutely horrid capitalists – finding a void in the marketplace and supplying goods and services that buyers value! Heaven help us – the voluntary attribute is working! Er, that would be working AGAINST the Government – no wonder the Principal has this to say: School officials want the city to pass an ordinance … Read more
We could call most Democrats a contradiction wrapped in an enigma but to be honest there is nothing enigmatic about them. They are just a contradiction. And while we could give them some small credit for not always understanding their own contradictions, acting as they often do solely on feelings and impulse, when they have their own newspaper and use it to propagandize the subscriber-ship with bovine bloviations, we can offer only pity.
I managed to cram all 590 pages of Stieg Larsson’s book ‘The girl with the dragon tattoo’ into my reading diet and let me say this; if you can get past the first 190 pages the next 400 are worth the time. I enjoyed the bulk of the book immensely, despite the fact that I was trapped in “the reading room” and that it was written by a now dead Marxist.
In his letter he first congratulates the Republicans on their victory (a very gracious set up), commends the Republicans for selecting the moderate train wreck John McCain in the past two presidential primaries,(even though it was the moderate/independents that swung those victories) and then proceeds to embark on a Palin bashing screed.
If all they wanted to do is ensure that the federal dollars we send to DC provided some equal value to the state that pays them they would act diligently to ensure that the Federal government did not take more than it needed for its few and limited responsibilities. (No one will ever accuse a New Hampshire Democrat of that.)
Correct me if I am wrong, like you wouldn’t anyway, but were we not told repeatedly that the best thing about SB500 was that it would allow the former inmates to work their way back into society under a more supervised regiment than if required to serve out their entire sentence.
