NH GOP Elected Politicians – Trust? We don’t need to build Trust. What a quaint idea you have!

September 26, 2018May 14, 2018 Skip

And then some high up GOPe-er rants about “We need to reverse the trend of voters preferring Democrats over Republicans“?

Sorry, I’ve already digressed; that will be another series of posts. But keep it in mind as you read the following. And they wonder why I added the word “Snarl” to my blogging vocabulary because the NH GOP has seemingly deleted the word “Trust” from their “governance” vocab.

Well, I guess sometimes “snarl”ing can make a difference – this came in over the weekend from a reader that was screwed over by NH GOP elected politicians and laments that Bill O’Brien wasn’t still Speaker (emphasis mine).

The list of luminaries that came to the Aviation Museum in Londonderry, NH (on the grounds of the Manchester-Boston Area Airport) to pay their respect to Ambassador Joseph and Augusta Petrone continued. Here are the videos of NH Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien, Harvey Levine (who co-founded VictoryNH with the Ambassador) and NH GOP Chair Wayne McDonald.

In the wake of the mass murder tragedy at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater yesterday—and the immediate effort of the Mainstream Media to link it to the Tea Party movement—it is worth remembering that More Guns Means Less Crime.

For instance, when a would-be mass murderer shot his way into a packed church in Colorado during a Sunday service in 2007…

Man, am I stacked up on video – apologies for not getting this up earlier from the CNHT Annual Picnic. While Grokster Steve manned our setup and watched over the live stream and the recording cameras, I snuck out a few times to get a few “micro-interviews”. So, here they are: Kevin Smith (Candidate, … Read more

GrokTV Event – CNHT in review – Speaker of the NH House, Bill O’Brien

September 26, 2018July 10, 2012 Skip

And we come to the end of the speakers at the CNHT Annual Picnic (“Old Home Day for Conservatives!”). Fittingly enough (although he spoke early in the agenda), we have the Speaker of the NH House of Representatives, Bill O’Brien:

The speech transcript:

Coalition of NH Taxpayers – July 7, 2012

“Will we continue to bring government back to essential purpose of protecting freedoms and not assuming that it must find a solution to every problem, real or imagined?“

In concluding his 3rd State of the Union Speech almost 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan left us a guide for the never-ending battle for freedom. He said,

Let us be sure that those who come after will say . . . that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.

The Great Communicator also warned us that,

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

In our time – this legislative term in New Hampshire in Concord – there are those among us who did everything we could.

We cut state-funded spending by 18% because the over-spenders had left us almost a $900 million deficit.

Order Your Susan Emerson Commemorative Boo Hoo Towels Today!

September 26, 2018January 20, 2012 Steve MacDonald

The RINO from Rindge, House GOP 69 percenter Susan Emerson, has sponsored a bill to stop bullying in the State legislature. No. I am not. Kidding.

The Union Leader reports that HB 1533..

“….would allow the Attorney General’s Office to investigate allegations of bullying in the Legislature, rather than current rules that allow such allegations to be investigated by an ethics committee.”

The paper claims the bill has 97 Sponsors, while the bill as submitted has just a handful of support; moderates pretending to be Republicans, pining no doubt for the days when more people voted for their spineless ilk and they actually had some kind of voice in State government? (Too harsh?)

This bill does not fix that problem, no bill could. What it does do is create an atmosphere built on tension and self imposed censorship, where healthy debate and disagreement becomes almost impossible without fear of being branded a bully backed up by the threat of a $2500.00 fine (per incident) and the stigma of criminal proceedings.

Mom! He’s Bullying me!
