I mean, I can at least see why maybe some conservatives may decide to vote for Gary Johnson, the national Libertarian Party’s Presidential candidate this year…. But then there’s Marty Begin, a Nevada voter and “self-described conservative” quoted in today’s Wall Street Journal article about Mitt Romney. And…this guy says he’s going to vote for Obama. A “conservative”? Voting for Obama? I mean, helloooo…

Following the Trail from Sustainability…to Tyranny (Part 2)
This is part-2 of a series that breaks down the “sustainability” movement, and explains how some in NH are working to constrain individual liberties with it. Read part-1 here.
The consummate community organizer, President Obama, knows the value of urban voters. He knows that urban living, with its clustered, infrastructure-heavy, and herd-like nature, depends on government more than suburban life, and far more than self-sufficient, independent rural living. He knows that more urban (or urban-like) voters mean utter dominance of the Progressive political class, at all levels.
He also knows that people have flocked away from cities, especially since the 1970’s, forming concentric suburban rings, referred to as “sprawl” (a word you will hear used quite a bit), which provide resistance to his urban, democratic-socialist ideals.
“The suburbs will define the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election”
Continuing to use the environmental movement as cover, and using the Presidency for credibility and funding, Barack Obama and his fellow community organizers are advancing the simmering ideology of “sustainability” by attacking the suburbs.
Romney Picks Ryan for VP (Updated)
This morning Mitt Romney announced that Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan is his pick for VP.
I’d call this a great choice. Given that we very likley have over 200 Trillion in unfunded entitlements to deal with, and Ryan being the only guy with a well developed plan–not for cutting or gutting but for dealing with the promises we’ve made and working toward a long term resolution–choosing Ryan says that Romney is serious about dealing with entitlement spending.
And while no plan is perfect, at least there is a Ryan Plan.
Would NH Democrats Want Out Of State Military Personel Voting Here?
It is generally accepted that military personnel and their families, no matter where they are working, get to vote back home, no matter where they are and how far away “home” is. But to hear New Hampshire Democrats talk, if there was one or more, great big military bases in New Hampshire, with thousands of … Read more
Priorities
How do you show your empathy for the people living under your yoke? Get rich bastards™ (Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour) and clueless celebrities–rich bastards™ (Sarah Jessica Parker)–to pimp your ‘Middle Class street cred’ while you run off to six fundraisers on the day the crappy job numbers come out. Isn’t Obama’s Super PAC called Priorities … Read more
Grokipedia – Forward (generic name of socialist publications)
Forward (generic name of socialist publications)
(The Wikipedia entry ‘Forward’ has been saved from deletion. Wikipedia may have censored it, but “Grokipedia” will not. While we have restored all the original links–mostly to other Wikipedia pages–we cannot promise that Wikipedia will not also delete these pages in their mad-dash to protect and defend the current Democrat administration’s Presidential campaign. )
<—First issue of Vorwärts, October 1, 1876
In the English translation, the term Forward has historically been used in the titles of socialist and politically left-leaning periodical publications primarily in Europe.[1][2] The context of the title connoted an “urge for progress”.[3]
Vorwärts! (German for ‘Forward’, with an exclamation point as part of the name) was a revolutionary German emigré publication issued in Paris in the mid-1840s. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were amongst the contributors to the magazine. Whilst the publication was short-lived, it had a lasting impact and served as an inspiration for later socialist press outlets. A second Vorwärts (without exclamation point) was founded in 1876, being an organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and with Wilhelm Liebknecht as its first editor.[4] In the years before the First World War, the term ‘vorwärts’ was almost monopolized in German political discourse by the Social Democrats, and the name was used for various publications and organizations.[5]
Will Debbie Washerwoman Schultz Lose Her Re-Election?
Debbie Wasseman Schultz (DWS) is very busy being one of the worst DNC chairs ever. (Not as easy as it may sound). And we think that’s great. In fact, we would like to help ensure that she has more time to pursue the disaster that is DNC chair DWS, so please take a moment to … Read more
Long read regarding socialist statism and voting Democrat….
I regularly get into political scrums with leftists in various venues.
What follows is one where I got set off enough to pen a major lecture to a local socialist (I’ll call him “Chuck”). He was going on about what a successful President Barack Obama is, and how he truly deserves to be re-elected, and how all the “minorities” and “groups” targeted by Obama will vote for him.
So it began like this. I told him….
Obama, Birth of Hope (Ack!)
I was in the midst of a two year run with New Hampshire Taxpayer Radio when Obama and the Democrats were elected so I have file folders full of weekly show notes (not unlike Rush Limbaugh’s daily ‘stack of stuff’). There is a good deal of material there and I don’t venture into the printed pile often, but I had to find something (which I did) but not before stumbling across this glorious discovery (on the jump).
It is from an October 2010 edition of The Weekly Standard’s parody page, only this was not a parody. It was an example of just how badly a majority of American’s had been fooled by the Great Deceiver–Barack Obama–and how obnoxious the cult of personality had become; a sin they would punish his party for (at least a little bit), a few weeks after this issue was printed, in the November 2010 blow out.
Are Campaign Signs Like Gray Hairs?
The joke says that when one gray hair gets yanked out a bunch come to the funeral. A few days ago someone stole the Krupp for School Board sign from my yard. I only had one. Today, there are five of them. I have room for a dozen more if I should happen to … Read more
Part 2 – Candidate Gary Krupp for Merrimack Town School Board
Here is part two of my interview with Gary Krupp, candidate for the Merrimack School Board. We continued to talk about his qualifications, experience, with an emphasis on finding efficiencies, working with unions and bargaining units, and some other facets of his candidacy. Note: Thanks to my video editor this is now in three parts … Read more

Gary Krupp is a candidate for the School Board in the town of Merrimack, New Hampshire. As a Major in the US Air Force, Gary has had extensive experience with contracts, budgets, and negotiations with contractors and unions. He has also served on the Merrimack School board Budget Committee. I sat down with Gary to … Read more
Should NH Give A Damn About Zandra Rice Hawkins?
Tomorrow, someone who relies entirely on out of state money, will present a pile of petitions, signed almost entirely with out of state signatures, to the New Hampshire Attorney General (AG), whom she will ask to investigate voter fraud in the Granite State.
Let me start out by thanking Zandra for the petition show she plans to put on tomorrow. She thinks she is going to make a statement about the need to prosecute voter fraud, James O’Keefe and Project Veritas specifically, but that is not the statement she will be making.
Please allow me to set the table.
Not only Voter ID, but what about “Running for Election” ID?
Anyways, I just thought I bring this up topic of Voter Fraud again as this afternoon at lunch, I went down to file the paperwork to run for elected office again. Well, given this topic of Voter ID, I wanted to find out if someone could come in and sign up to run – under … Read more
Ron Paul’s Newsletters
In the last election cycle almost everyone on the center right used “voting for bills without reading them” as a campaign cudgel. So I think it is safe to say that we have some expectation of accountability for what our elected officials put their name to.
When talking about Presidents, we have an equal interest in their having a full understanding of what they are signing into law and every right to hold them to account for everything they put their name to, even though they may not have written a single word of it.
Ron Paul’s name is on the newsletters. He may or may not have written them. He may or may not have read them. His campaign and his supporters do not think he should be held to task for their content. They have even gone so far as to suggest that their is some massive Republican conspiracy to discredit him.
Not So Secret Fact about Voter ID – We Don’t Need Democrats To Pass It
The only reason we do not have a voter ID law in New Hampshire is because Republicans didn’t vote to override a veto. We don’t need Lynch to like the bill. We don’t need one single Democrat in the entire legislature to like it either. We just need a few more GOP House members to like it and to vote to override any new veto.
So while the Democrats (and RINO’s) help us keep this in the news with talk about pressing charges, dust off HB356-FN (it is waiting in the Election Law Committee) and get it to the House floor.
What Is In A Campaign Ad?
“If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.” —Hunter S. Thompson
I am watching the television. I cannot remember which station or what show. But to be certain, it was the Discovery Channel, Learning Channel, Smithsonian, NatGeo, Military Channel or Fox News. Most other television is, in the words of Frank Lloyd Wright, “Chewing gum for the eyes.” With the current political season upon us, the channels are replete with rank and file political ads. Political ads that are simply unavoidable.
One that galvanizes in my mind is a recent hard hitting, vitriolic ad put out by the Ron Paul campaign where Newt Gingrich is the target. The ad uses sound bites, sober and serious background music and billowing voice enhancements to create a serious, yet stoic collection of imagery. If one hates Newt Gingrich, this ad is a, “must-appreciate.”
