RightWingNews: OK, who can do it in 3?

Wanna be miserable? RingWingNews has the recipe fer ya!

by Skip

John Hawkins of RightWingNews is known for “lists”.  Lists of what not to do, lists of what to do, interesting stuff lists, advice lists….this one is a good read.  A seven-step process to keep you in the bottom quarter of the misery index (success at being sad?):

1) Don’t pursue your ideal self

Abraham Maslow once said, “If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”

2) Isolate yourself.

People are flighty, they go away, they let you down…

3) Make other people responsible for your happiness.

Do you know who cares as much as you do about your happiness?…

4) Spend a lot of time focused on things you can’t control.

Worrying will wear you down under the best of circumstances, but if you really want to ramp your frustration level up to 11, spend your time worrying about things you can’t control…

5) Think short term all the time.

A new site from ‘Grok friend, John Hawkins – PicaQuote!

by Skip

John is one of the few independent professional bloggers that I know and his first blog, RightWingNews, was one of the first of the national level blogs that started linking to us when we opened the doors here at GraniteGrok.  He was also a favorite guest on our radio show “Meet The New Press”.  Since … Read more

I can agree with John Hawkins on these!

by Skip

‘Grok friend John Hawkins from RightWingsNews has a list of 20 things that he, as a Conservative, believes in for his latest TownHall column.  Here’s a few of my Likes – but as always, GRTWT:

1) Any illegal alien caught in this country should be forever barred from legally visiting this country, working here, or becoming an American citizen.

18) The whole purpose of our immigration system should be to benefit the Americans who are already here. Therefore, we should favor the best and brightest emigrants from Western cultures. Other immigrants to this country who get in because of family ties should have someone who’s willing to vouch for them and take care of them if they have hard times. No naturalized American citizens should ever be eligible for food stamps, welfare, school lunches, or any other hand-outs from their fellow citizens.

I don’t care that the reason is to feed his family back home or to provide a better future for their kids (what father or mother wouldn’t if the DREAM act is codified into law?).  If the first act of coming to this country is to flagrantly flount our laws, you do not deserve to be here.  I know too many who have spent the time, money, and heartache to go through our LEGAL immigration system properly (including Grokster Mike who is getting close to being a naturalized citizen!!!) to EVER countenance illegal immigration.

We can thank Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy for changing the rules that Society became responsible for immigrants instead of sponsors or families.  We should go back to 1965 and revoke that change.

2) If you take welfare or food stamps or if your kids have to get free meals at school, you should be ashamed. Your kids should feel ashamed by your failure, too.

Blogburst: A connection between NH AG Richard Head and convicted terrorist bomber Brett Kimberlin?

by Skip

“WHY would Dick Head want to approach her even with a 10 foot pole?“

You bet (to answer the post title question)!  Real easy too!  I had previously blogged this post “Why does NH AG Richard Head want James O’Keefe emails from a third party without a subpoena?” where Dick Head was inquiring of a Nadia Naffe: “Hey, you’ve got James O’Keefe’s emails”?  Remember, at the time of the post, James O’Keefe was supposed to be the Keynote Speaker at the Rye Republican event.  The night before, NH AG Dick Head issued a criminal grand jury subpoena against him, so under advice of counsel, James ended up Skyping in instead of being there in person. Well, right after that, we got wind that Dick Head had contacted a Nadia Naffe concerning what she said were emails belonging to James O’Keefe (see the post).  Also, this Nadia was already doing some stuff against O’Keefe, as Patterico outlines, and the RNC.

So, what does this have to do with NH AG Dick Head and Brett Kimberlin?  Well, Grok friend John Hawkins of RightWingNews interviewed Stacy McCain who because of his investigative journalistic blogging about Brett Kimberlin, had to leave his home in Maryland to an undisclosed location as Kimberlin started to call his wife’s employer in an attempt to force Stacy to quit the story.  Well, there was a mention of Nadia in that interview:

John Hawkins at RightWingNews nails THE problem of the United States today

by Skip

That would include the Political Class as well.  Anyone that says “You owe me simply because I exist” should immediately be cut off.  Mean?  Which is meaner: demanding that someone take care of them (as most that do the demanding could provide for themselves, at least in part), or demanding that someone take care of … Read more
