Yep, another Right To Know. Yep, another “thing” with the Belknap County Delegation, and now it’s about our taxes paid out over admitted illegal Budget Review meetings. The County told us this themselves:

Morals
First Amendment Religious Protection Is on the Line in This Election.
Increasingly the mouthpieces for the Anarchists, Antifa, BLM, and Islamists who masquerade as Democrats are demonstrating their intolerance, corruption, and penchant for violence. They want to end western civilization. The time has come to declare which side you are on?
Do Morals and Ethics Shape Policy?
Have you ever heard a politician say, “In the next election I will support whatever policies the polls tell me are most likely to get me elected”? Think about it for just a second. I bet you haven’t. If a candidate did say something like that, wouldn’t you find it distasteful? It would exhibit a lack of character.
COVID-19 is killing science
A scientific question takes the form ‘If I make this change over here, what change happens over there?’ Anything else is a non-scientific question. In particular, engineering questions and moral questions are not scientific questions.
Education Worship: When Anything is Made an End in itself it Becomes a False God
America is engaged in education worship. When anything is made an end in itself it becomes a false god. All things must be a means to achieving goodness. Why else should people exist? Sometimes we lack wisdom or perhaps we lose perspective. Today we seem to be doing that with education.
Standard Fare – Democrat Hypocrisy
Yep, this just about says it all (reformatted, emphasis mine): VA DEMOCRATS ACCEPTED DONATIONS FROM NORTHAM’S PAC AFTER CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION Four Virginia Democrats disclosed that they received donations from Gov. Ralph Northam’s political action committee despite having called for his resignation earlier this year, according to campaign finance data from Virginia Public Access … Read more
How Do You Measure the Character of a President? Charlie Kirk Schools a Student on “Morals”
A student has the media industrial complex programmed opinion about President Trump. He asks, for such an individual, an obvious question. How can you support that man!
The Voluntary Exclusion Party
In a previous post, I considered the question: How can people who prefer safety to freedom coexist with people who prefer freedom to safety?
I discussed a way in which a political party could directly provide single-payer services to the people who want them, instead of focusing on gaining control of government in order to ‘provide’ them even to people who don’t want them.
Today I’d like to consider a related question: How can people who want to follow different moral codes coexist with each other?
HB617 – Well, ONE Republican is making a big stink about raising the gas tax.
Well, I, Mike, and Steve are all over HB617, the bill that will raise the gas tax 18 cents over the next four years – and to hammer home the point, we can thank Republicans for greasing the skids to push this through without nary a cross vote. Well, one NH House Representative has spoken up about it – NH State Representative Bill O’Brien. And he has sent some information our way as well. In my post, it is obvious that Democrat David Campbell is all aflutter about his “hoodwinking” : “the gift that keeps on giving” – he is just ecstatic that he’s widened a revenue source for feeding Leviathan. Notice that wording – spoken as a true Statist in that the orientation is from State Treasury aspect.
Sidenote: Never mentions that in order for the State to “receive”, it is taking, by force, monies that New Hampshirites would otherwise be able to spend on their families. But, that’s how Progressives are – they are always convinced that they have a better purpose for your money than you do. They delight in using other peoples money (but really believe it was theirs to begin with).
Well, Bill decides to take Campbell to task for playing magician with the facts of the bill to one set of folks but boasting about it to the Democrat Leadership (Campbell’s letter after the jump) and adds some figures (emphasis mine):
David,
There is an additional spreadsheet you have on the 83% hike in the gas tax, but up to now you have only given to the Democratic leadership of the Finance, Resources and Fish & Game committees. That spreadsheet, which was prepared by the Department of Safety, points out that this near doubling of the gas tax will apply to all gas sales, but that gas used for snowmobiles and boats is not placed in the Highway Trust Fund, but instead is deposited into other funds.
Your disclosure of this fact to those committee leaders is inconsistent, of course, with the documents you have forwarded today showing only money going to roads and is contrary to your public protestations that “every dollar” of the gas tax hike will be going to roads. Instead, and as you said in the late afternoon Friday, February 22, 2013 email to the leadership of those committees, “[w]hen fully phased in [the gas tax] will generate $658,000 annually in General Fund revenue, $1,251,000 for Fish & Game and $593,000 for DRED/Trails.” This “extra revenue” going to Fish & Game and DRED will not, of course, be used to repair red-listed bridges.
I,________, do solemnly swear, that I will bear faith and true allegiance to the ‘Guidelines?’
Has ignorance reared its ugly head again in the New Hampshire Legislature Yeah, yeah, more times per day than we could count with all those people there. Actually, I’m referring to Debra DeSimone, Rockingham 14 who seems to have a questionable view of her relationship to the constitution. According to Ms. De Simone, the constitution is really just a guideline and we have House Rep George Lambert (Hills – 44) to thank for sharing that news with us.
“House quote of the day “the constitution is a guideline” not a requirement. – and yes she said “I swore to uphold the guideline” if it is just a guideline, how will it’s protections actually defend you…”
And an inch is just a guideline when building a house. So what if you are off a few inches or bits of inches here and there. A foot here, a yard there. (as long as it doesn’t fall down while you’re standing next to it, right?)
Your childrens’ future…
H/T John Hinderacker and Michael Ramirez…emphasis mine. “If there is one thing we know for sure about the federal government, it is that it spends way too much money–around $3.54 trillion in FY 2012, with a $1.1 trillion deficit.
