It’s campaign time for Jeanne Shaheen, our US Federal Government Ambassador to New Hampshire. And she’s trying to keep her butt in that US Senate seat. She does have a massive war chest to spend so of course, right to the airwaves.

Biden is a Hypocrite
Joe Biden is a hypocrite, he’s a Democrat and a nominal Catholic. The man touts his Catholic faith out of one side of his mouth. Out of the other side, he vows to crack down on nuns. The man can’t keep his story straight. But then again these days it probably isn’t his story anymore.
A Twitter Troll’s “Road to Damascus” Moment? Probably Not.
One of my favorite Twitter trolls is NHLibtoad @LibtoadNH. True liberal. Just the prescribed narrative. Most of the time, the comments are twaddle, but this one was special. I tweeted about the Supreme Court freeing nuns from ObamaCare’s Contraceptive Mandate and got a surprise.
For the Conscientious “Rapist” – Yale Approves #MeToo Vending Machine
If you thought finding a “snack” machine with everything “but what you wanted” at 2 am was bad before welcome to 2018. Yale, the college not the lock company, has approved an emergency contraceptive vending machine. What the hell is that? It’s a vending machine on a college campus that dispenses ’emergency’ contraceptives. For the thoughtful … Read more
And Dems want to turn this behavior into a NH Value?
Childhood – expected dependency (that’s what kids are: dependent on their parents).
Adulthood? Not so much. But Barack’s campaign site thinks so. Are we becoming a nation of dependent “children”? Are we all that unwilling to put aside childish mannerisms (“Mommy, can I have a cookie? Daddy, can I have a ten?”) and no longer are willing to act like adults? Should adults put on a mantle of expecting everything to be given to them?
Sandra Fluke was the first thing that shot through my mind as I read this note (as in “hey Dad, tuition is not the only thing that is due at the end of the week – can that be my 32 Birthday present?”). Isn’t her insistence of demanding someone else paying for her responsibility the embodiment of the perpetual dependent child mentality? At least the letter writer put the burden on her family; Sandra Fluke has determined that it is fine and proper for Government to be “her parent”; in that most intimate human acts, her claim to fame is to demand that Government provide for her”reproductive activities health”.
I will say this – I would never have ever thought of going “Yo, Dad? You know what I need $18 grand for”? Just the THOUGHT of even having the thought to ask is shameful. Yes, shameful.
Yet, this is a Democrat Value – after all, Sandra Fluke spoke at one of Obama’s campaign rallies. Given that it seems that the Democrat Party is fullbent “forward” on any policy that changes the relationship of and in a traditional family (how else would they EVER get Government to be “the parent”?
As offensive as it might seem to feminists and Bigger Government Progressives who believe that the Purpose and Role of Government is to provide for all of our needs in a libertine behavior world, when you strip out all of the yammering, this note writer’s message gets stripped down to telling Mommy “how mean it is that some faceless bureaucrat isn’t going to go grab some money from a taxpayer, run to the pharmacy, purchase her contraceptives, and deliver them straight away”. Oh, to be sure, there is gonna be some Progressive out there screaming “How dare you deny us, you discriminator!”.
Put a sock in it as I’m not interested in your whining any more.
Beggars CAN be Choosers
Welcome to Veruca Salt Nation where beggars can be choosers. Where a 30 year old “law school student” aka-professional activist gets trolled before the fawning media by DC’s Democrat party leadership, (right on time!) to pretend she is a victim. Her name is Sandra Fluke, the new face of the Democrat Parties Veruca Salt Nation.
“I want my taxpayer funded contraception now, daddy.”
And why not? We are the 99. Children up to age 26 are encouraged to seek a free ride, extended to age 30 (apparently) in Ms. Fluke’s case. Just another step on the ladder to full dependency. And while you are asking for things why not a constitutional right to Monistat–along with hot tubs, tropical getaways, and rooms for two–because if you are going to waste taxpayer funded contraception dollars the way the government wastes everything else, you should do it someplace nice–but the occasional yeast infection might be more than just a fluke.
A Cure For The Common Cold?
My wife had the flu the other day. It really knocked her out. She had the whole boat, sinus congestion, coughing, head aches, exhaustion, she was even having a hard time sleeping. So I got her some condoms. That didn’t work. I have to admit I was a bit surprised. According to the TV contraception … Read more
Senator Jeanne Shaheen: Prioritizing political ideology on abortion over First Amendment Right of free expression of Religious Belief
“…it is not just a matter of “women’s health” and it makes no difference if “birth control is universal“. From Left leaning Politico:
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) confronted Obama during a trip to the Granite State before the GOP primary, urging him to provide contraceptive coverage. Obama told her that he was sympathetic but had made no final decision.
It wasn’t until Jan. 20 that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the administration’s decision, sparking the firestorm from the bishops and the GOP presidential field.
“It’s very disturbing to me that his decision has been distorted and misinterpreted,” Shaheen told POLITICO. “It’s an issue of women’s health. Birth control is nearly universal in the country. I don’t understand why this is such a big issue.”
No, you wouldn’t, nor does it seem, that you want to. And not it is not an issue of women’s health. It is all about a Progressive mindset that Government has can tell its citizens your religious beliefs are subordinate to our decrees. It is all about Government telling its citizens that the Constitution does not matter on one of the issues that laid the foundation of our Country. It is all about Government turning the relationship of American citizens to their Government. It is all about losing the consent of the Governed…or actually, ignoring that it is a necessary component of American Exceptionalism, and making a crass political decision that beliefs of an unprotected minority are of no account.
