I’m thinking of what the few gun shop sales folks I have dealt with would have done or said if such an over-condescending, self-arrogant guy came into their dealerships and uttered something similar to the meme above.

Dem Senate Candidate – Clueless Act #2
by Tom
First we have a photo of her dancing on a Veterans’ Memorial, now she’s placed a sign in a location that violates NH RSA 664:17, regulating the placement of political advertising – creating a serious traffic hazard (police report filed). “State-owned rights-of-way – political advertising is allowed as long as the advertising does not obstruct the … Read more
Maura Sullivan – carpetbagging from Illinois, using props from Massachusetts, to run a race in NH by being anti-gun
by Skip
Democrat Socialist Maura Sullivan is running to be the Democrat nominee for NH CD-1. She flew in from DC after growing up in Illinois; even NH Democrats are upset about having their own mini-Me-Hillary-style carpetbagger. Many folks are writing about her latest ad and so are we (here and here).
The point of this point is to point out the “weapon” that Sullivan wants you to believe is an actual “weapon of war” that she used in Iraq (while serving in a Supply/Logistics role). EXACTLY like what she had in Iraq. Nonsense on a stick.
Oh Good Lord – are the DC Republicans THIS bad that they don’t know what to do???
by Skip
Even this headline from the Daily Mail (yep, a BRITISH newspaper)should make one think: truly, can they govern (reformatted, emphasis mine)?
Senate Republicans are unsure what to do between now and November – so they’re polling THEMSELVES for ideas
Republican Senators are unsure of what to do between now and the November election so they’re polling – themselves. Senators Ted Cruz and Lamar Alexander are quietly circulating an unusual ‘survey’ of their colleagues to ask about their level of support for various legislative proposals, some of them highly controversial. Among the ideas, trying once again to repeal Obamacare, attempting another round of tax cuts, defunding Planned Parenthood, expanding gun rights, and many others. But the odds of any of these proposals coming to the Senate floor for a vote are slim, insiders told Politico, which reported on the unusual poll.
Well, here’s one fer ya – how about just doing the job we expect you to do – like:
How To Be Wrong ‘By Barack Obama’
CNS News reports that the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, using data provided by Obama’s own Office of Management and Budget (OMB), announced today that taxpayers will lose 24 billion on the various Federal Bailouts. Meanwhile, over in ObamaLand, the president is telling whomever will listen that… “We got back every dime we used to … Read more
EMail Doodlings – “You all owe me”
by Skip
There are a few people with whom I converse with a lot – some agree with me all of the time, and some agree with me most (but not all) of the time. This is from a gentleman that used to agree with me hardly at all (in the beginning) but now keeps seeing the actions rather than just passively listening to the words. He complains (rightfully!) (emphasis mine):
Skip – twice in the last week I’ve heard comments about Social Security that made me realize how far apart our perceptions are.
The first was from an 82 yr old nurse, who bemoaned the fact she wasn’t part of a union and didn’t have a pension, and she was living off of SS and it just wasn’t enough.
Now I realize nurses aren’t treated the best, but I don’t understand why she feels we owe her a pension. Yeah, she’s a democrat.
The 2nd is from a pastor who wants to convert the amt a congregation pays into his synod mandated pension, into cash so he can pay down his student loans.
Sounds reasonable, except when he was asked about cleaning out his pension and the penalties incurred, he was ambivalent and said not to worry – SS would be there for him. And he didn’t want it counted as income – he just wanted the congregation to pay down his loan directly (tax avoidance). Ambivalent I understand – it wasn’t his money in the pension plan, and he wasn’t going without to plan for his retirement. Typical pastoral attitude – he expects to be taken care of. But just how smart is someone with a master’s degree and over $100K in loans, taking a career that pays $1K/wk? His wife also has a master’s with over $100K in loans, and stays home with a newborn.Yeah, he’s a democrat.
I am under the (misguided?) impression that SS is there to keep old folks out of the food pantry lines, and volunteering at the food pantry instead, for as long as possible.
Never did I suspect it was intended as a retirement or pension plan. My parents had a different take on money – 10% went to the church, 10% went to their parents, 10% went to savings, and the rest is what they lived off of. And my parents weren’t Rockerfellers – my dad never made more than the “average” annual income. And yet my parents sent 4 kids to college. hmmm
thx for letting me vent.
A socialist society is a selfish society – and as Government does more and more (notice that I did not say Society!), people expect and then demand more and more. And in the Pastor example above, the worth of other peoples’ money and contributions become meaningless and of little worth because, well, it is EXPECTED. Think of it this way – which is more appreciated? Something that you know should be part of life, that has become “the norm”? Or something that someone gives you out of the blue for little reason at all (and for the trifecta – something that you have actually had to go out and earn)? My response:
Furthermore, some people think that stopping a one-man crime spree is “criminal”….
by Tim Condon
This is from the commentary to today’s Union Leader article about crime-stopping hero Dennis Fleming…who was arrested and will be charged with a “crime” by a clueless (elected) county attorney, Thomas Velardi.
First, a comment from a retired police officer, Graham Baynes, as follows:
“Psst! Hey Buddy. Want to Buy A Train?”
What he meant was that if we added commuter rail “there would be more spending than we could even contemplate at this point.”
