“My Kingdom for Some Facts”
A couple of recent topics have puzzled me.
Item 1. It has been reported that Governor Sununu vetoed HB 687. In the Laconia Daily Sun, Ms. Ramer calls it “the so-called ‘red flag’ bill” in her piece.
“Workplace Violence”? Nope – more like treason now for Major Hasan
This was the US Army Major Nidal Hasan that killed 13 of his fellow soldiers back in 2009. Even as he was screaming “Allahu Ahkbar” (God is Great) – the Islamic battle cry while he was pulling the trigger in that “gun free” zone (yes, on a military base), the Obama Administration decided to be Political Correct / Islam Friendly and merely call it “workplace violence” as it was just another incident at the local Post Office.
So what do you call it when a uniformed member of our Armed Services says this under oath in a courtroom? KDHS News (emphasis mine, reformatted):
FORT HOOD — Accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan told a military court Tuesday he was defending the Taliban during the 2009 mass shooting on post…Hasan said he was defending “the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban.”
…Tuesday’s statements confirmed what Addicott had long thought. “Hasan has declared himself an enemy combatant in league with the Taliban,” he said.
Which makes a mockery of the Obama’s lie of workforce violence. When the defendant himself has sided with the enemy of the United States, uniform and fealty oath to the Constitution obviously not withstanding, this is an attack on our sovereign soil by Islamic militants.
“Reward our friends and punish our enemies” – are we now in the final push in “breaking us” to Fundamentally Transform” us?
I have been scared for a while now – for our Constitutional Republic built on our Constitution and its Classical Western Liberal values (not to be confused by the very illiberal Liberals who absconded with yet another word, placing their own definition on it (like gay)). It has been under assault for decades but from what we have seen over the last five years, over the last eight months, over the last week, the pace has only increased. Obama said just before his first inauguration that his goal was to fundamentally transform the United States. From Wilson to FDR to LBJ, and now to Obama.
Each is tied to each other by their hatred of the US Constitution. Wilson was very open about it, and wrote about it. FDR wanted his Second Bill of Rights that would change, forever, the Founders Vision that the best government was the least government. Instead, it would have become that “positive rights” that would have had Government give Rights to people instead of the “negative Rights” that keeps Government from doing things TO you. FDR set the table with his New Deal that helped to start that transformation. Face it, look at the uncoupling of the nuclear family to its intergenerational extended one – no longer did the children affirm their bonds to their parents once the latter become unable to provide or care for themselves – Government would and did step in. Parents could be “independent” for years with Social Security.
Speaking of TEA Party targeting, CAN the heavily Democrat leaning IRS show “equitable conduct” in managing Obamacare?
Many think not: Will the IRS eventually give the TEA Party another huge testosterone (altho, sometimes the estrogen ladies of the TEA Party of the ones to be feared when riled) boost? Especially when it starts handing out all of the fees and fines if you DARE cross their line? Remember, while IRS bureaucrats can … Read more
FEAR
From the X-Files Season 2 Episode 3 – Blood Scully: “Why Mulder? Why would they intentionally create a population that destroys itelf.“ Mulder: “Fear. It’s the oldest tool of power. If you distract, by fear of those around you, it keeps you from seeing the actions of those above.” Scully is asking why the government … Read more
Blogline of the Day: Reagan brought it down in Germany – Is Obama rebuilding it here?
ABC NEWS TEAM SHADOWED BY ARMED GUARDS: Has An Iron Curtain Descended On The Cincinnati IRS Office? Does a Free Country so severely control a Free Press? Last time I knew, no. We are often told, when we object to more Governmental intrusion, “If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about!”. … Read more
Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) outlines every American’s fear of the Tyrannical IRS
Note: be sure to listen to the resounding applause he got at this Congressional hearing concerning the IRS scandal of “punish your enemies” [Obama] in presenting actual Tyranny to those groups and individuals that expressed a political thought against the ruling regime of President Obama and the Progressives he represents.
Listen to the description of the IRS that is given by Kelly and ask yourself:
“This reconfirms everything that the American public believes. This is a HUGE blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government.
Is there ANY limit to the scope of where you folks can go?….Is there anything at all? Is there anyway that we can ask you, is there any question that you shouldn’t have asked, Mike? Goodness, how much money do you have in your wallet? Who do you get emails from? Whose sign do you put up in your front yard?
This is a tax question? You don’t think that’s intimidating? it’s sure as hell intimidating!”
Press Conference: Families of Dead Seal Team Six Members
We’ll be talking about this tomorrow on GrokTALK! – (Podcast is posted on Sunday.) Whether you listen to our dicussion or not, find some time to watch this if you can. It is long so watch it in segments if you must. But please try to make time to watch at least some of it.
And They Can All Go Down Together
We should keep track of who among our Democrat ‘friends’ comes to the aid of Hillary Clinton. It is known that she knew it was an attack not a protest. A terrorist attack. It involved al Qaeda. That there were assets in range to help. And she did nothing. Obama did nothing. Unless orchestrating a cover-up counts as doing something. For weeks at a time. On National Television In ads played in foreign countries. Even in front of the caskets of those who died as a result of their….um…leadership.
“We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing do to with.”
Make note of who serves the left’s masters like ideological chattel so they can all go down together.

White House Changes To Benghazi Talking Points Revealed
Compiled from emails exchanged between the White House, State, and other Federal entities, The Weekly Standard reports on details compiled and released that show what the White House knew, when they knew it, and what they ended up saying. (Image of talking points before and after on the jump).
Synopsis?
The first, at 4:05 p.m. (all times are Eastern Standard Time), indicated that the compound was under attack; the second, at 6:08 p.m., indicated that Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group operating in Libya, had claimed credit for the attack. According to the House report, these alerts were circulated widely inside the government, including at the highest levels. The fighting in Benghazi continued for another several hours, so top Obama administration officials were told even as the fighting was taking place that U.S. diplomats and intelligence operatives were likely being attacked by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. A cable sent the following day, September 12, by the CIA station chief in Libya, reported that eyewitnesses confirmed the participation of Islamic militants and made clear that U.S. facilities in Benghazi had come under terrorist attack. It was this fact, along with several others, that top Obama officials would work so hard to obscure.
The Obama Admin went with the random riot and then YouTube video lies for what, a week or more–despite evidence it was an al Qaeda affiliated terror attack.
National Parks Service Still Acquiring New Land Post Sequester
Ask your congress critter why the National Parks Service and Department of the Interior are crying in their sequester boo-hoo towel while simultaneously spending even more money to expand the system and the costs required to maintain it. Sen. Tom Coburn says there’s “no shortage of potential savings,” pointing out that the department is nevertheless spending millions on … Read more
Wait a sec, I thought President Blameless was the Commander-in-Chief??
From RedState:
Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea:
So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far?
That’s the apparent message from senior administration officials who, according to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, said that they had long planned to send B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers, and F-22 fighters to the Korean Peninsula as part of preplanned wargames with South Korea, but that they had not planned the recent deployment of Navy destroyers.
Last weekend, the U.S. ordered two guided-missile destroyers to the Western Pacific — the U.S.S. John S. McCain and the U.S.S. Decatur — to provide additional defense against North Korean ballistic missiles.
Command takes responsibility, Mr. Obama.
Indeed. Especially when one is Commander-in-Chief instead of Blameless-In-All-Things. Really, other than the Drone killings, and indicating he was fine with the Affordable Care Act being called Obamacare, what positive things has he done? Yes, I know – OBL. However, that was a continuation of a program that preceded him – any President would have given that order. Yes, as it turns out (I bookmarked this a couple of days ago) the Navy used its protocol to send two additional destroyers without getting Presidential approval – it wasn’t needed. In fact, new DoD Sec. Hagel didn’t even have to approve it. Yet, Obama choose to hide behind (not lead from behind) and…
About that filibuster by Rand Paul about drone strikes to kill Americans in America….
Remember all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the regressives on the political Left about waterboarding (something, by the way, that is done to certain military men as part of their training, not to mention CIA agents)?
Awful, awful, awful! Torture, torture, torture! Barbarian, barbarian, barbarian (that’s enough of that)!
But wait! What about…
Do NH Democrats Want To Pass A Law Like This One In Germany?
With few exceptions, the progressive liberal Democrats would love to have a law just like this in New Hampshire.
Homeschooling was made illegal in the country in 1938 (…) and the law has never been repealed, but rather strengthened. In 2007, the German Supreme Court ruled that the country’s mandate that children be sent to public school is necessary to “counteract the development of religious and philosophically motivated parallel societies.”

Not Castration, Sequestration.
Castration? You would think so to hear the rhetoric and demagoguery, but no. (Did you happen to notice ‘Dem’ at the beginning of Demagoguery?) Uh-huh, It’s true.
Give back a few pennies on the dollar and the Left insists the world could end. Sounds like lousy management to me. Well, OK
But why is the Federal Government still hiring people for these job
Occupy Senator Shaheen’s Office
A new Event just sprang up on Facebook called ‘Occupy Senator Shaheen’s Office.’ They’d like you to spend some “quality time there tomorrow and…
Demand an end to indefinite detention without charge and extrajudicial assassination of American Citizens under the NDAA.
Obama’s lawyers have laid out who he can kill. “[T]he confidential Justice Department “white paper” introduces a more expansive definition of self-defense or imminent attack than described by Brennan or Holder in their public speeches. It refers, for example, to what it calls a “broader concept of imminence” than actual intelligence about any ongoing plot against the U.S. homeland.
Another, more descriptive term for Capitalism?
Innovationism:
Deirdre McCloskey says somewhere that a better name for capitalism is “innovationism” – innovationism unleashed only in societies in which private property rights are at least reasonably secure, freedom of contract is at least reasonably the norm, markets are at least reasonably free, and (importantly) the multitude of bourgeois merchants and accountants and actuaries and laborers and financial experts and… and… and… innovators are accorded at least a reasonable quantum of dignity by society at large.
Capitalism, the voluntary exchange of one product or service for another (with money as a flexible intermediary) is certainly under attack by Progressives, Socialists, Communists, and Marxists as being “evil”. Their claim is that it is not “moral” and that “the little people” get hurt when the markets go sour).
Sidenote: Notice that they never talk about about the 100s of millions of “little people” that died at the hands of those leading the Progressive / Socialist / Marxist / Communist regimes in the Soviet Union, China, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, et al.
What needs to be stated, over and over again, that we are losing the ability to have that voluntary exchange as Government (and those that “know better for us” – actually, the Progressives / Socialists / Marxists / Communists that work for an in Obama’s administration) outlines how ‘free markets’ are to behave by fiat.
After all, Capitalism only succeeds when someone “serves another’s interest” –
WTF.gov
Your government floods the AM band with public service announcements (PSA’s). Back in the day I used to have to read them when I did radio in High School. We didn’t have them pre-recorded. But now they have them canned and you can just play them with a mouse click or program them into the content. And there a lot of them.
There are spots for the Forest service, home loans, emergency management, you name it. Remember Ready.gov during hurricane Sandy? Not so ready if you don’t have Internet. No surprises. This is the government we’re talking about.
Well they also have PSA’s on saving energy. The newest in that series points out all the things you could have bought if you had not wasted that money of inefficiency. Like throwing money out the window.
That’s right. The US government and the Obama Department of Energy are schooling us on how to avoid wasting money when it comes to energy.
Go ahead and laugh. I did.
Ayotte Leads Measure To Block Gitmo Transfers to US Soil
New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte sponsored a measure that would (again) prevent any funding from being used to transfer Gitmo detainees to US Soil. The measure passed the Senate 54 -41.
