Happy New Year; are you happy it’s an election year? The Democrats have saddled themselves with an impeachment. Saddled fits because of its extremely partisan nature. It was from inception born of hate and lies. The Democrat primary debates, sans American flags, are still going on. Their audience is the most limited in history.

7 out of 10 Voters Believe in America First
I’ll close out my blogging day with a bit of bad news for Democrats. A recent poll found that 70% of those asked were America-First voters. That the United States needs to take care of its business before everyone else.
Progressives: These ‘Weapons’ Must Be BANNED!
Democrat Socialists fear Free Speech more than a gun. A gun can only affect a few people at a time (if or when that horrific incident happens).
“Microinsults,” “Microinvalidations,” and “Microassaults”
It is now the job of American universities to make it as difficult as possible for higher functioning mammals to communicate. Even coexist. Welcome to Snowflake 401.
Blogline of the Day -“washed up and pathetic”
“Listening to Trump’s pitch, I felt it was so upbeat, so admiring and praising of people who usually hear that they’re washed up and pathetic.” And the Democrats are openly derisive of us, too. While Obama (“bitter clingers”) and Hillary (“deplorables, irredeemables”) openly called we who oppose them politically and culturally, many don’t SAY it … Read more
Where did the Liberal “Gun Nuts” Go?
Left Wing Gun Nuts. Where did they go? Where are they hiding? Why are they so silent? Six years ago…Specifically, March 18, 2013 I posted, “The “Gun Nuts” Liberals Pretend Do Not Exist.” In that Grok article I wrote,
The Champagne Socialist like Bloomberg, Feinstein and other sorts on the left fund visceral hoplophobic attacks on America’s second amendment supporters. And within that anti-gun clique lives a band of left-wing, “gun nuts.” liberals who own and advocate for the second amendment. The left embraces them and when these “gun nuts” start talking; the left sticks their fingers in their ears and yells, La-la-la-la-la! Oh, How inconvenient…
Vermont Legislature Wants Taxpayer Funded “Free” College Education
It is the sign of a weak mind to immediately assume that a problem, real or imagined, is due to inadequate government funding. It is also the sign of a socialist or a Democrat. And since we’re talking about that state to the left of New Hampshire, this begins to make whatever passes for sense in the People’s Republic.
Indeed!
All we hear from the “Government Firsters” is that this 25% shutdown is such a horrible situation (e.g., US Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan) – “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!”). Complete nonsense and rubbish. What this DOES highlight, once again, of how much beyond its Congressional mandates it has grown and taken Powers away from … Read more
Cleaning up my stack of stuff: Why is it always the Socialists that decry “we are the wealthiest nation in history”?
Forgot I had transcribed this from WMUR’s CLOSE UP show (Aug 12, 2018) where Levi Sanders, running to be the Democrat candidate in NH’s Second Congressional District even as he lived in CD-1, said the magic words:
On Tuesday or Wednesday, there will be one of the most important votes in the modern history of this country. And that vote will be whether or not in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we throw 22 million Americans off the health insurance they currently have.
Yeah, once again – wrongthink. Certainly the idea of a successful Medicare-for-All (which his Dad’s bill isn’t really Medicare-for-all that Bernie touts but is structured more like Medicaid-for-all and jams down lower payments to doctors and hospitals in order to say “see, we lowered healthcare costs” and caring not a whit about the restructuring again of 1/6 of our economy). This is just a sidenote. My real point is this:
Quick Thought – On the fallacy of “Self-described Experts” by Maura Sullivan (Democrat Carpetbagger in CD-1)
which “Supply Sullivan” wants us to swallow: hook, line, and trigger. I haven’t watched the WMUR debates yet but will do so because, well, I should. Still, this sound byte from their News caught my ear (emphasis mine):
“I believe the veterans in Congress are going to lead on this because we have an unassailable credibility when it comes to guns. And we can say on the House floor, we used these in Iraq, people used them in Afghanistan. They don’t belong in Manchester and they don’t belong in Hampton. they don’t belong anywhere in this country.”
-Maura Sullivan
No, you don’t. This is the falsehood by a “in Supply” dud who
Oh, by the way Kathy Sullivan? About the fact that all Democrats are now Socialists?
OK, so Newsweek was only right about the Left – I dare say that only US Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is about the only Blue Dog Democrat (think centrist, even if Left of that center).
So, Kathy Sullivan – tell me this: with respect to “truth in advertising” (a form of speech as well, right??), is the Democrat Party going to rebrand itself as THE Socialist Party of the US? After all, look at all the hooha over Democrat Socialist of America rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? And that the current Democrat National Committee Chair Tom Perez openly stated that this openly Socialist candidate is the future of your Party. Add to that the ideas (and political speech) from YOUR Democrat candidates Levi Sanders and Steve Marchand who are right there with her? And that Molly Kelly isn’t all that far behind them?
Blogline of the Day – but REAL (Spanish) socialists can.
When a Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party government is tougher on uncontrolled mass immigration than our own Democratic Party, you know that the Dems have painted themselves into a corner. No wonder the U.S. media are ignoring this story. Remember, when a number of top level Democrats couldn’t tell anyone what the difference was between them and Socialists, the … Read more
The basis of his economic theory
You can steal from your children and your grandchildren with impunity because, after all, “In the long run, we’re all dead“. “We repudiated entirely customary morals, conventions and traditional wisdom. We were, that is to say, in the strict sense of the term, immoralists. The consequences of being found out had, of course, to be … Read more
Tyranny: Democrat Socialists of America in the US House saying (Ah-gain) “you don’t need all that and you didn’t earn it anyways!”
So they believe that if you have too much private property (too much cash), they have the perfect way to steal it from you: write a bill! After all, it isn’t FAIR that you have earned so much by stealing it from the poor and middle class. They have far better purposes for what your labor, skill, and motivation has earned you. It’s rather simple, really – they basically want to count your money: $1 for you and we’ll take one too! Lather, rinse, repeat – for your entire stash (not to be confused with the Obamastash which seems to come out of nowhere to give to the 47%. Or have we found the source?? Oh, never mind – I don’t speak Mandarin).
Several House Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation that would impose a minimum 45 percent tax rate on taxable income above $1 million, and would set a 49 percent rate on income above $1 billion.
The Fairness in Taxation Act, H.R. 1723, was proposed by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), who said the bill would help put the nation’s wealth back into the hands of middle- and lower-income workers.
Fairness? To take that which was not earned by you is “fair”? I have yet to see any reference in the Democrat Socialists of America white papers that says that they stand in solidarity with the Founders who held the pursuit of Property (which was the original wording in the Declaration until Ole’ Ben said to use “Happiness” – which was considered to the be same thing back then) was one of the philosophical underpinnings of a free society). A man is not free when the Government can take his stuff. After all, in all other societies at the time, if the King wanted it, the King took it by “Divine Right” for the use of his government. Now, we see this again – this bunch of Progressives wish to regress back to that time of when Government (via the King) wants something, they will just take it. Grokster Steve’s phrase of Fee Staters not only covers the Democrat Progressives here in NH but those in DC as well; none of them believe it is enough.
This is “progress” with respect human Liberty and Freedom? Obviously, no to the question but yes to their intent. We see this incremental Tyranny in that these folks that believe in a foreign political philosophy certainly join in with Obama when he said “at some point, you have made enough money” (or even saved enough) –
Individual, meh. The Collective, YEAH!
Lying to Parents to have “power” over the child / Student? Head Teacher in Chicago is “all in” on this tactic
Sickening. And make no mistake, if it is happening there, it is happening in your child’s school too. Go ahead, watch the video and then ask yourself “Can I really trust my child’s teacher?”
After all Karen Lewis is the head of the teachers union in Chicago – this is just a tactic of Chicago politics except the target is not other adults but someone’s child. Progressive / Socialists / Democrats are always talking about “power inequality” in terms that Conservatives are always the bad guys in Society (we must be eliminated). Yet, here is a “leader” (openly Socialist) that is all too willing to take advantage of that “power inequality” to silence a child as in “look, I gave you cover in front of your parents”. Now, the kid is scared to say a word crosswise, and she is LAUGHING that she now has, not a student, but a hostage. Isn’t that nice?
Really, is she all that willing and HAPPY to have, in her classroom, a HOSTAGE and not a student? And is jocular to the max in being open about lying to the parents – LYING! Is this what we want from the Leader of Teachers? It’s not about the educating but the Power!
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” –
Blogline of the Day – on socialism
Asking a socialist to embrace austerity is like asking a prostitute to embrace chastity: it’s simply not part of the business model. I still like Steve‘s, involving “eunuchs at a fertility festival.” (H/T: Instapundit)
Will NH Democrats Drool At Developments In France?
France’s golden age passed long ago, and thanks to the French is doomed never to return.
The New Socialist dominant government has set right to work doing something New Hampshire Democrats did (to a lesser extent) when they had complete control of our state government. Right out of the gate the French Socialists are raising taxes. But not just any taxes. €7.2 Billion in one off taxes on wealthy households and big corporations…because the country continues to spend more than its economy can come up with. Sound familiar? Their debt is at 90% of GDP.
What else sounds familiar? How about wealthy households and corporations leaving France to escape confiscatory taxation?
