Angry, violent leftists (that’s redundant) are promising to be angry and violent if they don’t get their way.
One Twitter user, claiming to be a member of the far-left militia organization, Redneck Revolt, quote tweeted (archived here) Emily saying that he “didn’t join Redneck revolt for no reason”, the implication of course being that he is “down” for armed political violence.
Not that long ago the Democrat Mayor of Berlin, New Hampshire announced that the domestic abuse survivor of State Sen. Jeff Woodburn was not his female victim. It was Jeff Woodburn, the accused.
If only Woodburn were a nominee for the Supreme court, eh? We’d see buttons that say I believe “insert name here.” But the cabal of political insiders we’ve been discussing do not think so. Their champion is not the woman; it’s the great big, white guy who outweighs his alleged victim by 100 pounds and wait until you hear the latest.
If you aren’t planning to vote in November I hope you like higher taxes. From 2011 to 2018 98% of New Hampshire Democrats voted for an income tax (2012 CACR13, 2018 HB628). 97% of Democrats voted for higher gas taxes (2013 HB617, 2014 SB367, 2011 SB78, 2015 HB591). Democrats voted for higher business taxes and lots of other taxes.
But there’s a way to stop your taxes from going up.
We haven’t tweaked the Climate Cult nearly enough of late so here’s some ice to chew on. It’s the NOAA passive microwave dataset. This method of measurement shows the approximate annual Arctic sea-ice extent at the top of the world.
As you can see predictions of an abrupt and unstoppable ice-free Arctic appear exaggerated compared to this dataset. Yes, there was ice loss. From 1994 to 2007 the arctic ice cap shrank by 1.537 M km2. That’s almost thirteen percent. But since 2007 the reduction is only 0.081. That equates to almost no change in a decade.
Despite this lack of change in “climate” at the north pole the calamity of declining sea-ice continues to plague us. A non-issue parallel to the repeated rantings over sea-level rise – because they are connected don’t you know.
Democrats have made no secret of their plans to raise taxes. Left-wing leaders at both the Federal and State level are running on erasing tax reform. Here in New Hampshire, candidates for Governor and State Senator as well as other state elected offices are looking to roll back tax cuts on job creators even though the state has experienced record high employment and labor force participation.
All at a time when the evidence suggests that people with the most mobility are migrating to states with lower tax burdens.
Forgot I had transcribed this from WMUR’s CLOSE UP show (Aug 12, 2018) where Levi Sanders, running to be the Democrat candidate in NH’s Second Congressional District even as he lived in CD-1, said the magic words:
On Tuesday or Wednesday, there will be one of the most important votes in the modern history of this country. And that vote will be whether or not in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we throw 22 million Americans off the health insurance they currently have.
Yeah, once again – wrongthink. Certainly the idea of a successful Medicare-for-All (which his Dad’s bill isn’t really Medicare-for-all that Bernie touts but is structured more like Medicaid-for-all and jams down lower payments to doctors and hospitals in order to say “see, we lowered healthcare costs” and caring not a whit about the restructuring again of 1/6 of our economy). This is just a sidenote. My real point is this:
David Bernstein, writing at the Volokh Conspiracy, has some excellent thoughts on human nature and the compulsion for oppression. Reading it I am reminded of its application to current events. The public rise of Antifa. The open advocacy of the use of force to silence political opponents. The abuses of the bureaucracy in pursuit of partisan political gain. The inherited privilege of the ruling class exemplified in what has been colloquially defined as ‘The Swamp.’

A few days ago, we reported on a survey of Dartmouth student’s that questions their tolerance and diversity when it comes to dating, befriending, or just interacting with someone who has opposing political beliefs. There were no surprises. Democrats shunned the idea while Republicans were much more accepting.
Further down in the same survey were data about how these students view Free Speech on campus.
From the very beginning, Democratic lawmakers made it clear they intended to oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Deeply enmeshed in the resistance movement and anti-Trump hysteria, the rationale for their opposition is clear. Kavanaugh is a conservative judge, nominated by a president they revile. Their desperation to derail his nomination was made apparent during the recent chaotic confirmation hearings.
Nothing was disclosed during those hearings that disqualified Judge Kavanaugh, and to the contrary, objective viewers perceived him as an eminently qualified nominee, of the highest moral character.
by Jim Johnson The “Puke” Chris Matthews reveals Democrats end game for Brett Kavanaugh, which amounts to nothing more than blackmail. An orchestrated conspiracy hell bent on defaming a successful white male from achieving his full potential. Time to investigate the Democrats unholy alliance with the mainstream media and their in-your-face sustained attacks, and outright … Read more
The U.S. Census released its most recent data on Poverty in America last week and surprise, surprise, surprise! The far-left land of Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Tech Giants, and Hollywood Gazillionaires continues to have the highest rate of poverty in the nation.
A place where homelessness has skyrocketed alongside the massive burden of the welfare state.
The Democrats voted against tax reform. One of the narratives of choice was that the middle-class tax cuts were not permanent.
Democrat congresswoman Kuster’s press release on why she opposed the reforms is typical.
“I support real tax reform that starts with middle-class families and small businesses,” said Congresswoman Kuster. “Unfortunately, the plan forced through Congress by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell is a missed opportunity that overwhelmingly benefits corporate special interests at the expense of the majority of Americans. The fact that provisions for the middle class expire while those for corporate special interests are permanent makes clear Congressional Republicans’ priorities.”
But aren’t Democrats the only reason tax cuts for the middle-class had to expire.
If you don’t remember the name Ted Bosen, he’s the guy in some of the north country Democrat email threads I shared (here) who was offended by the way “The Party” treated an alleged victim of domestic abuse. That and the Democrat establishment wagon circling around State Sen. Jeff Woodburn, arrested on 9 counts of domestic abuse, … Read more
Trump’s recovery summer continues to stack up wins as small business optimism piles on to an already impressive roll call.
Optimism among small-business owners reached a record high in August as Republican-passed tax cuts and deregulation began to bear fruit, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business.
The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index hit 108.8 last month, the highest it’s been in the index’s 45-year history, beating the previous record of 108 set in 1983 under Republican president Ronald Reagan.
Mr. Obama came out the other day to bash Mr. Trump for being a miserable president, then took credit for how good things are during the Trump Presidency.
No one on the left seems willing to make that challenge nor are they getting up and shouting all that much about how all their prognostications about the end of the world – should we cut taxes and regulations, or just elect Trump -have not only failed to come true, the opposite has happened.
The economy is booming, and it’s not because of Obama or any Democrat and here’s a guy to make that case.
Nancy Pelosi is the most polarizing politician on the left. Invoking her name gets Republicans to the polls. Next in line for that honor is Barack Obama. The single most destructive force to Democrat election chances in American history.
When Obama speaks, Republicans show up to vote against Democrats. Last week Obama spoke. He called you racists and bigots. Does anyone have any doubt about how that will be received?
Barack Obama likes attention, so he got up the other day and said stuff to get him some.
“But over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican party,” Obama said.
Obama then attacked Republican members of Congress, accusing them of embracing “wild conspiracy theories like those surrounding Benghazi.”
He got some.
BY TERRY ELLEN COX
‘”…progressive” are [sic] those who focus on using government power to make large institutions play by a set of rules…”
Cultural unease has grown more and more virulent since the 1990’s if not before. Issues are they are clear to all. The DNC is waxing full of people who are hateful, racist, accusatory and emotionally out of control. They assault any GOP, or perceived GOP, for any reason, stalking them and disrupting them at restaurants eating with their families. They spit, they vandalize, they throw things at rallies, they target even spouses and children. And yet they cannot articulate any solutions to what they are fighting about or engage in civil debate.
Ten out of the 11 Democratic candidates for Governor of NH said they were progressives. I’m told the fish rots from the head down so I am taking a wild guess that more NH Democrats will turn this way. When they are left unchecked it will signal the death of our republic, our culture and our way of life. Goodbye Freedom.
I ran across this 2005 article which well explains the basic political difference between a progressive Democrat and a liberal Democrat:
Democrats should be happy that Judge Kavanaugh does not see a specific right to abortion in the words of the US Constitution. It means that the lib-states can do whatever they want. Lefty Landscapes can continue to “euthanize” minority populations before birth and legally “separate” immigrant mothers from their unborn babies. All at Taxpayer Expense!
Women’s health care for all the victim groups including the ones that were not born “women.”
These states will be so desirable that “women” will leave non-lib-states that fail to see the benefit and move to the lib-states instead.
Right?
One of the highest forms of participation in society for the left is the obligation to pay taxes. It’s patriotic, it’s civic-minded, it’s all kinds of things, but most importantly it is a moral obligation.
And the left always wants everyone to give more because frankly there is no ceiling on how big their government can get or home mush it needs. So, you’ll hear all sorts of explanations for why we need more taxes or higher taxes. But before you let them off the hook ask that Democrat a few questions.
