Liberals Should Listen To Michael Ellenbecker

Per Skips post a few inches down the scroll… I will not enter our people’s house until this abhorrent policy is changed. I urge all of my fellow citizens to do the same. MICHAEL ELLENBECKERConcord Mike can spend that time watching the Oprah Winfrey Network with his fellow (progressive) citizens. I’m good with that.

Projection

This can’t be stated often enough, particularly when the dreamers on the left imagine tragedy to excuse their second amendment positions–liberals must be afraid of gun owners because the people who think like liberals are simply too unhinged to be trusted with firearms.

Out On A Lim

CHristian Cross mp3 playerChaeyoon Lim has published an article in the American Psychological Review that… "substantiates that it is not really going to church and listening to sermons or praying that makes people happier, but making church-based friends and building intimate social networks there.”

So all that stuff about God, that’s just window dressing?

“Our study offers compelling evidence that it is the social aspects of religion, rather than theology or spirituality, that leads to life satisfaction,”

"In particular, we find that friendships built in religious congregation are the secret ingredient in religion that makes people happier.”

This looks like a conclusion looking for research to support it.  But has Chaeyoon really gone out on a Lim?

Nickel And Dimed Is Out

Once you get past the misleading headline from this morning’s Union Leader, ‘Nickel and Dimed’ Banned in Bedford, (it was not banned form Bedford, it was removed from the public school finance class curriculum) you will find that while the book is out, some of the stupidity remains.

What’s All This Then?

Tom has done Yeoman’s work in bringing us examples of the left wing hypocrisy known as ‘real’ hate speech.  But it’s hard to beat the work done by Michelle Malkin, who has what may be one of the most comprehensive examples (and it is somehow still incomplete) of what motivates the progressives. As you scroll … Read more

Mike Farley Uses “The Template”

So is Mike ‘concerned?’ Or is Mr. Farley either the biggest wuss in Manchester (and given the democrat company he likely keeps that is saying something) or is he employing the template of fear, using children as bait, to scare parents into doing his bidding–the work of making guns the thing we should fear, even in the hands of trained law abiding persons?

Brunelle Is A Distraction

My previous post on the pending investigation of Mike Brunelle was to poke fun at the lefts hypocrisy on the influence of money, anticipate the caterwauling, and suggest a course for clarifying the meaning of the text. In the intervening days, it seems obvious that I left some points out, some made by democrats.

Picture Of The Day 1-9-2011

Some pictures come with stories.  Today’s picture of the day has a story.  But as with all stories it appears to have been embellished. So I have edited out the parts that may not be accurate.  I edited them out because the picture is compelling without them, and they would only serve as a distraction. 

It is a picture taken during surgery on a 21 week old fetus.  It is one of dozens of procedures already performed on unborn babies.  Babies who could spend another 19 weeks in the womb before birth.

It is compelling because this is a surgical procedure in the womb to help a baby.  This is not surgery on a lump of tissue.  It is a tiny person.  The picture is it’s own story.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother’s womb.

Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

Picture on the jump…

Grant Bosse Drops Out…

I have been told by reliable sources that Grant Bosse is no longer seeking the position of RNC Committeeman. Whether true or not, and while Granite Grok has not yet formally endorsed a choice, I have already made an endorsement as co-director of the NHRVC, and I will do so now here for myself. Jordan … Read more

Why Not Cut The Gas Tax?

I’ve been suggesting for years now that cutting the cigarette tax would raise more revenue.  That is the point of a tax after all.  And with neighboring states that are stuck on stupid when it comes to the rules and affects of taxation any reduction will increase other commerce as people come over the border … Read more

Unemployment- Is the Good News Bad?

The percentage went down to 9.4% for December but is that a good thing? We will have to wait until we get the January numbers to shake out the holiday hiring but overall it is not strong news.

Got Hate? The “JohnnyBBad” Edition

Thanks to Fairmind over at Red Hampshire we have this story.  A regular contributor at Boo Hoo Hamster posted what amounted to a death threat against Speaker Bill O’Brien. “I was just in Cahncid driving down Main St. and my car tried to speed up when I saw Speaker O’Lien in the crosswalk…thank God my … Read more

Guinta Not Taking Health Care From The Federal Government

In an interview with Think Progress, New Hampshire Congressman Frank Guinta states that he will not be taking the Health Care portion of the benefits package afforded to members of Congress. Snippet taken mid-interview. TP2: He’s referring to the Federal Employees Benefits Plan that all members receive. GUINTA: Well, I think there’s a difference between … Read more

Mike Earmark Brunelle To Be Investigated

The democrats are probably already crying like a toddler who just lost their balloon. (Ironic that they wont have to pay a fine.) But we should look at this seriously and in a context that the progressives understand.

Lube Job

In a front page story from the Wednesday Union Leader the group AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region has run into trouble.   After a presentation at a local High School they offered ‘safe sex kits’ to students.  The distribution approved by the school’s administration stopped after learning that flavored lubricant and candy were included with the condoms that are—dare I say traditionally?—handed out.  Neither parents nor administrators were pleased by the message that “flavored lubricant” sends to 14-year olds.

The money shot, I’m sorry quote, comes from Monadnock School Board member Bruce Barlow.

“You can’t hand something like that to a 14-year-old boy and expect him to respond to it as an adult would.”

Seventy-thousand years of human history passed us by and somehow we missed this until now?
