The World is NOT Getting Warmer…Mr. President!

September 26, 2018November 15, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Nothing speaks to the cloistered nature of what passes for left wing intelligence like Global Warming. It is the perfect litmus test. All you need do is ask and if the respondent sounds like this, you can rest assured that most everything else they know come from the same poisoned well.

What we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted even 10 years ago.

This is President Obama, the smartest man in any room, repeating what he thinks he knows to be true. Unfortunately for the President and those similarly afflicted, not only has the earth not warmed faster than predicted even 10 years ago, it has not warmed at all.

We let Democrats define the terms of our defeat

September 26, 2018November 13, 2012 Carolyn

When Democrats set the terms of the 2012 campaign for state and federal offices, Republican leaders blew their horns about jobs and the economy and counted on their position of strength and the glaring weaknesses in their enemy’s lines to secure victory. Republicans lost because they forgot to tell the troops about the Democratic weaknesses. Democrats took advantage of the oversight and rolled over the field.

Democratic victories last Tuesday quite simply reflected a tactical failure of top-ticket Republicans to defend the party’s message. This wasn’t a failure of Republican principles, but a failure to define and defend Republican principles. Democrats successfully distracted voters with complete fabrications of reality, and Republicans let them do it without response.

Predictably, Republican Party leaders assumed that the people had enough of the social issues and wanted to focus on the economy instead—and by in large, Republicans successfully governed on economic recovery issues during the past two years. Democrats understood the visceral nature of social issues and successfully tarnished liberty as the enemy of their carefully crafted relationship between business and government. Republicans didn’t respond, despite the prescient need. They thought that by ignoring the problem it would go away.

Which Tax Lotto

September 26, 2018November 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire House Democrats are going to raise taxes and fees, the real fun is which one first and how soon?

My money is on the tobacco tax and I’d be suprised if it didn’t hit the committee table on the first day of the first session and find it’s way to the House floor in record time. Given the somewhat spinless make-up of the Republican caucus in the State Senate, I could not guarantee that it wont just flush through that chamber like s**t through a goose and come out the other side with Maggie Hassan’s signature on it.

The end result will be fewer sales of cigarettes and tobbaco products in New Hampshire. That’s what happened the last time the Democrats raised the tobacco tax. And if we need a cautionary tale to guide us on why this will happen again, we can look to the Peoples Republic of Denmark for help.

Because They Voted Where It Matters

September 26, 2018November 11, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Boston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008. There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, and about the promtion by Democrats of the idea that Republicans were tyring to keep them from voting which is why they should.

So much concern in one tiny little article, complete with deceptions, and a new narrative to plumb.

Well I just happen to have a very workable theory about why turnout in NH College towns was down–something I had not considered checking until now, thank you–and it ties directly to a well worn New Hampshire Democrat excuse about why they support out of state student voting in New Hampshire.

Blogline of the day from Patterico

September 26, 2018November 10, 2012 Skip

Another demonstration of Democrat values – sore losers: When good Democrats are pushed to the point where they have no choice but to express their political views by slaughtering a defenseless animal and dumping it at their opponents’ front door — well, it really says something about the GOP. On a post talking about a … Read more

Notable Quote: How Modern Democrats View the Electorate?

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

They consider their subjects as the farmer does the hog he keeps to feast upon. He holds him fast in the sty, but allows him to wallow as much as he pleases in his beloved filth and gluttony. -Edmund Burke

Maggie “Louisville Slugger” Hassan Takes a Swing at The NH Democrats ‘Civility’ Narrative

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Anyone who bought or sold the New Hampshire Democrats bringing ‘Civility’ to Concord narrative has a very short memory, is a complete fool, (an out of state voter domiciled here on November 6th for voting purposes), or just another New Hampshire Democrat–and we’ve said as much time and time again. They are incapable of civility.

To help us prove our point, before the ink was even dry on the ballots, Governor Elect Maggie “Beat Republicans With a Bat” Hassan was already cackling like the left wing, partisan harpy, she tried to hide during her race for Concord’s highest perch.

You Want The Truth? You Can’t Handle The Truth!

September 26, 2018November 9, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Comments are often a great source of amusement, and often suitable for follow up material. In this instance, in response to my post about Legally stealing elections with out of state voters who just happen to be in New Hampshire, an anonymous commenter using the handle “Speak the Truth” suggested that we just let it go.

Move On. We have an enormous task in front of us – “we” have to EDUCATE the public with the TRUTH. “Dumb cannot be solved with Dumber”

Really?

Here is my response, some “education” about why we can’t move on…

Chasing the Equality Rabbit Down the Democrat’s Debt Hole

September 26, 2018November 6, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Even if it does not appear obvious, even to the casual observer, once government gets started on something it is difficult to get it to stop. So where exactly do we expect the Democrats notions of state managed economic leveling to take us? Their talk of economic equality centers on the idea that the government not only knows what “is” the best idea of equality but that it can actually deliver it.

Let us assume, even for just a moment, that this can be done at all. Does anyone in that group of believers think that the government can make us all rich? Can the government even regulate and tax into existence a nation of middle income householders of adequate means?

To answer this consider the arc of recent spending. Since 2006 when Democrats took congress, we have added almost seven trillion in debt. Since Mr. Obama took the White House,we have added six trillion of that. So in just a few years the Democrat party–the people who claim they can deliver economic equality–have added 40% to the national debt. Forty Percent.

Are things better, more economically equal?

Free Market Gets Water To Hurricane Victims Faster…

September 26, 2018November 5, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The first supplies of bottled water to arrive to aid those affected by hurricane Sandy did not come from FEMA, which has a large staging area in Georgia stocked with pallet after pallet of bottled water for just such an occassion. Nestle America, without any coordination with FEMA or any government agency, provided half a million bottles (gratis) to a staging facility in Sommerset New Jersey, long before FEMA even got its water moving.

Re-Elect Jeanie Forrester

September 26, 2018November 4, 2012 Don

Despite years of Democrat condemnation of rich bankers, Senatorial candidate Bob Lamb shows that rich bankers can even be applauded if they parrot Democrat talking points, promote the special interest groups that fund Democrats, and help the Democrat Party extend its control over the lives of the American people.

Describing lawsuits against him and other executives, Lamb says, “these lawsuits never went to trial, and no factual determination was ever made that the allegations were true.” This strange wording proves nothing. Similar wording, e.g., “no criminal court ever determined that I killed Nicole and Ron” allows OJ to claim innocence.

Lamb seems like a nice guy but he repeats the old Democrat complaints and promises. Did Democrats improve your life when they controlled the NH Legislature (2007-2010)? E.g., did they fix all the roads and bridges? No. But, they raised our cost of living and hurt NH employers with 99 new or increased taxes and fees.

Live Fee Then Die – Say Hello To New Hampshire’s ‘Fee’ Staters?

September 26, 2018November 1, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The left has tried to turn the Tea Party into their boogeyman. But you know what the Tea Party wants? They think we are taxed enough already. Stop adding taxes. Stop spending more money than we take in. Stop making government cost so damn much that small business can’t hire to pay for what government we actually need.

And the Free Staters just want New Hampshire to keep its small government character. They, like the Tea Party, prefer local control to being lorded over by the state or federal government. Government, yes – but as local as it can be and small and efficeint. And what’s truly funny about the Democrats attacks on the Free Staters is that many of these folks actually agree with Democrats on several issues. Some of them are Democrats.

Which brings us to Democrats.

Democrats are easy. More central government, more spending and growth of central government, more command and control, less local control and more taxes and fees to pay for it.. So what do you think? From now on should we just refer to New Hampshire Democrats as “Fee” Staters?

Confidence Man in Chief

September 26, 2018October 29, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Selwyn Duke at American Thinker gives us more evidence that Mr. Obama is a liar of first resort. That politics and preservation, the accumulation of power come before all else. The most recent example is Benghazi and Duke visits that point, but here’s the bit that caught my attention.

Appearing before a mostly black audience and speaking Ebonics-style (despite never having lived in a black community), Obama accused the federal government of showing cruel indifference to the primarily black victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Life Imitates Life – Democrat of the Year Convicted of Felony Theft

September 26, 2018October 28, 2012 Steve MacDonald

This is just so…. JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)– The woman named “Democrat of The Year” this year by the Jefferson County Democratic Party has been convicted of felony theft by a Jefferson County jury for stealing from a developmentally disabled 71-year-old woman. …Democrat.

Obama’s Brown Shirts….Forward!

September 26, 2018October 28, 2012 Steve MacDonald

If Republicans were willing to agree with Democrats, we could get along. Never the other way around. So short of just agreeing with them (in most cses we agree on slightly less than nothing), we should continue to expect to be called names, insulted, attacked, and here’s just a few examples of the kind of … Read more

All We Need Now Is The Stained Blue Dress

May 1, 2022October 26, 2012 Steve MacDonald

If you just arrived from another planet to observe US election politics you’d think that Democrats lie to women about how much they care about equality (to get their votes) all the while treating them as helpless sex objects.

“Obama-Care To Kill More Jobs as Employers Struggle to Stay in Business”

September 26, 2018October 25, 2012 Steve MacDonald

One provision of Obama-Care requires employers to recognize anyone who works 30 hours a week as a full time employee.

The pertinent section (1513) of the law reads as follows:

(4) Full-time employee

(A) In general

The term “full-time employee” means, with respect to any month, an employee who is employed on average at least 30 hours of service per week.

(B) Hours of service

The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, shall prescribe such regulations, rules, and guidance as may be necessary to determine the hours of service of an employee, including rules for the application of this paragraph to employees who are not compensated on an hourly basis.

Anyone working 30 hours will require employer paid benefits, or the employer will be fined for failure to comply. SO where’s all that money going to come from? You and me.

Binders that Bind

September 26, 2018October 19, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Femanazis and even most leftists are like old dynamite. One false move and BOOM! Add to that the decline of their progressive President in the polls, and a roll call of states whose voters appear to be drifting away from their agenda and just about anything could set them off…and does.

Take binders, for example.

Governor Romney, in seeking to find qualified women in Massachusetts to consider for state cabinet positions asked for a binder of resumes from women. This is the now infamous “Binder of Women” comment that has become the lefts latest in a long string of desperate and doomed to fail attacks upon the opponent. Romney said binders of women! BOOM!

But it is doomed to fail. It is doomed to fail because while Democrats have talking points Romney has substance.

Who cares about a child’s education? Conservatives!

September 26, 2018October 19, 2012 Don

Liberals (typically Democrats) and Conservatives (typically Republicans) have very different viewpoints about education. Liberals see the public school educational establishment (the unions, the government bureaucracies, the University Education Departments, etc.) as the way to educate children (except occasionally for their own children).

Conservatives believe results are the important thing, “Is the child getting a good education?” Government ads claim that every day 7000 children drop out of school and millions more graduate lacking basic knowledge. The educational establishment isn’t meeting society’s need to prepare children for adulthood.

Life, No Matter How Inconvenient….Matters

September 26, 2018October 18, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Bill Maher has done us a great service. He has spoken the truth. He has uttered a core “value” of the left, one that goes back more than a century.

“I do believe in more DNA testing. My motto is let’s kill the right people. I’m pro-choice, I’m for assisted suicide, I’m for regular suicide, I’m for whatever gets the freeway moving – that’s what I’m for. It’s too crowded – the planet is too crowded – and we need to promote death.”

This is the kind of refreshing honesty you can’t get from most Democrats because they are afraid you will be horrified by it and never elect them to office. But this is who they are. And you should be horrified, and you should not elect them to office, because Maher’s honesty exposes the lefts intellectual roots. This is a party descended from eugenicists whose support for abortion and “end of life decisions” is based on a desire to “people” their inevitable man-made utopia with only the best the human race has to offer (as defined by them), and to use the power of the state to reduce the burden of any life that could be or has come to be inconvenient to that end.
