The military is not a social services operation, or a testing ground for gender wars. It is a fighting machine. Women are not as strong as men. Their instincts and reactions in crises are markedly different. There’s a reality the left will not face: biology is not destiny. – Liz Trotta

One of my favorite journalist, Liz Trotta found herself the target (again) of  liberals for her statements regarding women serving in a combat role.

Trotta is right, but that will matter very little to militant feminist and commonsensical challenged liberals. We have gotten to a point in our society that we can no longer have an open, honest debate on almost anything, let alone regarding race and gender. Liberals argue from an position of emotion, not from intellectual sincerity. Facts matter very little to liberals, and they ignore the historical truth of their failed policies for the sake of a political correctness, that is not only foolish, but at times dangerous.

Trotta is a person of keen intellect and uncompromising integrity, and is undeserving of these false characterizations.

There are so many strategies that can (and should) be used against President Obama leading up to the general election (the poor economy, mishandling of foreign policy, corruption and scandals), but it is also important that the American people be reminded of President Obama’s troubled relationship with the U.S. Constitution.

President Obama has regularly referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor,” most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, “I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president (President Bush) I actually respect the Constitution.” There is some question as to whether President Obama was actually a professor or just a senior lecturer, but there can be no doubt….he does not respect the Constitution.  But either way, President/Professor/Senior Lecturer Obama clearly lacks an accurate understanding of the historical facts of our Constitution. For most of us the warning flags went up during the ’08 Campaign based on statements he made that showed a casual disdain for the U.S Constitution:

But President Obama continues to show his arrogance that he seems to know better than the Founding Fathers.  I am not sure if President Obama just does not understand the U.S. Constitution, or if he just doesn’t care. Either way, it is an issue that needs to be exploited leading up to the election in November.

I love editorials, articles, blog postings and video’s (whatever)  that make fun of the obvious. Sometimes the only way to get people to admit how stupid they are acting is to throw it in their face like cold water.

Representatives across this land don’t see the the plan and simple truth….we are broke. We have nothing left. We are the turnip, and there is no blood.

 The Government Debt Simplified

 However, New Hampshire can be proud that there is a member of the U.S. Senate who not only gets, but is prepared to fight on our behalf.

The Government Debt – Don’t Forget Unfunded Liabilities

What happens when there are more people in the wagon than there are available to pull the wagon?  What happens if everyone gets into the wagon, and no one is there to pull the wagon?

Self-reliance is a dying virtue, and has been dying a slow death on the liberal vine for sometime. Those that work hard and devote themselves to success  are mocked by the slugs who are benefiting from the labor of others.  On our country’s current course, it is not a matter of whether we become like Greece, but when.

‘Takers’ overtake ‘makers,’ threatening American self-reliance

Here are four facts that ought to scare the daylights out of every person who cares about preserving individual freedom, economic opportunity and American self-reliance. According to the Heritage Foundation’s latest Index of Dependency — which measures the degree to which individuals rely on benefits funded by the tax payments of other Americans — these four facts illustrate the reality that our country is losing the spirit of independence that is the heart of citizenship:

• Takers get more than makers: Individuals received on average $32,748 worth of benefits annually in 2010, the most recent year for which full data is available. By comparison, the average personal disposable income of tax-paying Americans was $32,446.

• More takers mean more costs for taxpayers: An estimated 67.3 million people in America depended on government for food stamps, retirement income, health care, job training and a host of other benefits. As a result, the dependency index rose 8.1 percent in 2010 over 2009, at a cost to taxpayers of $2.5 trillion.

• Fewer makers to support each taker: Just as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher predicted, sooner or later the entitlement state runs out of other peoples’ money to redistribute. In 2010, nearly half — 49.5 percent — of all adult Americans paid no federal income taxes. This is a prescription for an economic imbalance similar to the one that has paralyzed Greece.

• Ranks of the takers are exploding: The baby boomer generation has begun retiring and within the next 25 years their ranks will swell to more than 70 million. Virtually all of them will depend on government for many benefits. This means the Dependency Index is headed higher, even if major entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are reformed now.

As disturbing as these facts are, they only scratch the surface of a problem that Heritage has been tracking since 2002. The index is unique because is measures multiple factors associated with the cost of providing government benefits, as well as the scope of their distribution, using 1962 as a baseline. As Heritage’s Bill Beach and Patrick Tyrrell explain, “the index score has grown by more than 15 times its original amount. This means that, keeping inflation neutral in the calculations, more than 15 times the resources were committed to paying for people who depend on government in 2010 than in 1962.”

Alexis de Tocqueville reputedly said that the American republic will last only “until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.” Indeed, political philosophers have warned since Aristotle that the worst flaw of democracy is the tendency of the majority to oppress the minority. That is what happens when takers become the majority and use their political power to force makers to hand over the fruit of their labor in the form of taxes. The time remaining for America to reverse this debilitating ratio is rapidly disappearing.

“Europe is in the gripes of a prolonged Winter; literally and figuratively. A Winter of discontent “ – Daniel Hannan, CPAC 2012

So begins one of the all time great CPAC speeches; rivaling even Ronald Reagan’s 1977 CPAC Speech.

I have to admit that this years CPAC seem to be lacking an energy of past CPAC’s. Most of the speeches did not even pay tribute to this years theme – ‘We Still Hold These Truth….’

Of course, there were a few exceptions: Congressman Allen West, Senator Jim DeMint, Sara Pain. As for me though, EU Minister Daniel Hannan’s speech was the best.

Daniel Hannan spoke with a passion from a person who truly understands what is a stake, and the terrible path that some in America have set us upon. Stifling debt that is killing our economy and bankrupting our children, misguided regulations that serve only to ensure the job of a bureaucrat and destroy jobs in the private sector, and a foreign policy that not only has made us the laughing stock amongst our allies and our enemies, but has made the world less safe.

I assure you, after watching this speech you will be reinvigorated, re-energized, and thankful that patriots such as Daniel Hannan still exist.  Daniel is truly our cousin from across the Atlantic, coming to our shores to remind us of how dear liberty is, and how easily it can be taken away. Whether it is by a single swift blow or by a thousand tiny cuts, Daniel reminds us that liberty is never more than one generation away from being lost.

In a way, seeing the ‘protesters for hire’ at CPAC was very amusing. Now I know what Nancy Pelosi was really talking about when she was referring to an ‘astroturf’ movement (for some of the hilarity, you have to watch reporter Michelle Fields as she reports from CPAC: ‘Occupy CPAC’ protesters have no idea what CPAC is  and ‘Occupy CPAC ’ protesters paid $60 for the day) .

Mocking the Occupy ‘Fill-in the Blank’ protesters is just too darn easy. You can only imagine my surprised when I walked into the McDonald’s near CPAC to find a whole group of protesters enjoying Big Macs and fries from the ‘evil corporate entity controlled by a clown.’ What is that I I smell in the wind….the stench of hypocrisy (and BO)?

For your amusement, and to poke more fun at these lunatics, may we suggest some fresh and exciting new chants:

Tired of the same old chants, Occupiers?

Sure, you have a higher tolerance for tedium and a different concept of shame than normal people, but eventually you have to get sick of yelling the same boring stuff all the time. I care about you deeply as human beings, so I’ve decided to help you out with some awesome new chants to chant as you’re chanting:

• “We’re smelly! We’re loud! Our parents are not proud!”
• “Our concept of rebelling! Is riots, rapes, and yelling!”
• “We’re the 99%! With some cash the unions spent!”
• “What’s the point behind this fad? Mostly to get back at Dad!”
• “Two, four, six, eight! After that, our math’s not great!”
• “Hey hey! Ho ho! This phase is one we might outgrow!”
• “The people! United! Deluded and shortsighted!”
• “99% are we! In our tents is where we pee!”
• “We’re nonviolent, we’ve got class! Watch your step, there’s broken glass!”
• “Money’s evil and it’s bad! I wrote this on my new iPad!”
• “‘You’re so violent,’ wingnuts moan! What about our Rape-Free Zones?”
• “Corporate fatcats are our foes! Our solution? No one knows!”
• “They closed our camp, it wasn’t nice! Who cares about some rats and lice?”
• “Just like Woodstock, but with Twitter! Using cop cars as our $#!++ers!”
• “We hate CPAC, yes we do! We wish we were winners too!”

Hope that helps, kids. Be baleful out there!

#NewOccupyChants

This week on the New Hampshire Perspective Radio Show:

Segment One: NH House – Legislative Updates Part One

We are joined by NH House Representative Brian Murphy upcoming legislation

HB 1181 – Tort Reform
HR 27 – Brainpower initiative. Ensuring the NH Advantage
HB 1385 – A gas tax holiday for Memorial Day weekend (guess which department does not support this!!??!!)

Segment Two: NH House – Legislative Updates Part Two

We are joined by NH House Representative David Bates to discuss HB 437 – Relative to the definition of marriage

Rep. Bates talks about the misconceptions surrounding HB 437 and the legislative process supporting the initiative.

Segment Three:Voter Fraud Update, NH’s Governors Race, and Superbowl predication.

For those that listen to the show on a regular basis, you know that Congressman Paul Broun has made numerous appearances.  He is one of our more popular guest, and is one of the strongest liberty voices we have in the House. His defense of the 2nd Amendment during one of our shows was one of the most popular segments we aired in 2011, so much so we had to rebroadcast it!

Reading the story below, I started to wonder why no one had thought of this earlier. I probably won’t past since most in Congress have  lost sight of what it really means to earn ‘an honest dollar.’

Once gain, kudos to Congress Broun, and in his honor, Semper Fi!

How long would you go without a paycheck?

Georgia Republican Rep. Paul Broun expects that most people wouldn’t allow 1,000 days to go by without pay — about how long Congress has gone without passing a budget.

In the spirit of that sentiment, Broun has introduced the “Budget or Bust Act” to hold all lawmaker’s salaries hostage in an escrow account until they approve a budget.

“Let me ask you this, do you think that if my ‘Budget or Bust Act’ was law, do you think that Harry Reid would have gone over 1,000 days and not passed a budget? Absolutely not,” Broun told The Daily Caller.

Broun’s bill would also shut the president out of the budget-making process, so that instead of having the president submit a budget to Congress he would only be implementing it.

“In 1921 the Congress passed the bill that became law that basically says that the president must submit a budget and Congress acts upon it,” Broun explained, offering a brief history lesson on the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, signed by President Warren G. Harding. (RELATED: Reid: Senate will not pass a budget this year)

“Well, that’s totally abdicating Congress’s duty under the Constitution,” he said. “The Constitution hasn’t been changed. Article 1, Section 7 says that all bills regarding revenue are to be originated in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate amends the House bill then once it’s sorted out between the House and the Senate it’s sent to the president to be signed into law or vetoed.”

According to Broun, the executive branch has eroded Congress’s power far too much, and the Georgia Republican hopes his bill is a step toward turning the tide.

“Congress needs to take its rightful place and be the entity in government that sets up the policy that the government follows,” he said.

“The president is not supposed to create law through executive order, the courts are not supposed to create law through fiat, that’s what they’re doing,” said Broun. “The courts actually are supposed to apply the Constitution as the founding fathers intended it and Congress as well as presidents and the courts are supposed to go by the original intent of the Constitution. I believe very firmly in that.”
