Democrats

Blogline of the day from Patterico

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

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

Maggie the Red Hassan shows us the new civilityAnyone 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!

Ballot-BoxComments 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

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…

Nestle Pure Life Water gets there before FEMA doesThe 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

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?

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

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.

Obama’s Brown Shirts….Forward!

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

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”

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

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!

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

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.

Republicans Want to Limit Your Access to (Insert lie here)

Democrats will make up stories about their own mothers if they think it will advance their political agenda, so we cannot pretend to be surprised when the professional Lefts “Republican War on Women Blitzkrieg” embraces outright deception; the idea that Republicans want to limit your access to (insert lie here.)

This idea is based on the Democrats obsession with positive rights.  In the real world you are born with free speech and the right to defend your life and property whether there is a government or not.  In the Democrat world these things cannot exist until there is a government to give them to you.  This rule applies to everything.   So we could just as easily say that Republicans want to limit your access to Starbucks Latte’s.  The government isn’t standing over Starbucks making sure you get the Federally approved brand of coffee at taxpayer expense, therefore your “right” to that coffee is in danger.

The Lefts War on Women intifada applies this notion to abortion and contraception to broadcast outright lies about Republicans, and I’m here to tell you…if you believe the Democrats, you should demand an intellectual refund on your public school education because your mind has been robbed of common sense.

The Laundry Bill Comes Due (Bumped)

RGGI Map[Bumped: Given that Maggie Hassan is so proud to have sponsored this tax, I figured I’d revisit this post from September 30th]

Originally posted September 30th

The New Hampshire Sunday News has delivered what can only be called the dropping of the other boot on our necks.  I am referring to the impending rate hike by PSNH for state government mandates, including New Hampshire’s participation in the Region Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and the NH Renewable Portfolio Standard.

While rates have crept up for years this is the first real admission (I believe) by a local energy provider, that the time has come to deal with costs driven by the New Hampshire Democrat Parties war on cheap energy.  As a result the average rate payer will see their annual bill go up about 50.00 a year, with commercial and government customers paying significantly more, costs that will find their way into your tax bills and the cost of all goods and services, right when you need them the least.

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

Hassan Couldn’t Balance a Meal – Let Alone a Budget

Responding to false claims by the Hassan campaign that she ‘balanced budgets,’ we get this ad which points out that any Democrat can offset all their reckless spending if they just raise enough taxes.  Of course Maggie didn’t even manage that.  Without one time Federal bailout money she’d have had to raise another 800 million … Read more
