Bill Clinton Endorses Maggie Hazz…um….Hasss….uh..Who Are You Again?

There have been no reports of sexual harassment (that’s Her-Ass-Meant) during President Bill Clinton’s recent drive-by endorsement of New Hampshire Democrat Margret ‘Louisville Slugger’ Hassan.  But Clinton did have enough time to say some stuff.

“There’s a great plan for the future of the state of New Hampshire: Smoke more, learn less,” Clinton said.

You’d think reducing tobacco taxes would be a plus for a guy with Bill Clinton’s ‘appreciation” for  cigars.  But hey, honestly you are right Mr. Bill.  Taxpayers should pay for someone elses kids to get drunk and earn a degree in the History of Gender Philosophy Studies .  Making them pay for their own education is so self -responsible and free market.  No one would want people like that.  And when they ‘graduate’ with a major in “The Catharsis of Economic Freedom And Opportunity Under Democrat Rule” they can stand in line for a job at Staples or Burger King and use their degree to keep the rain off their $500.00 iPhone.

More?

“Nobody paid attention to what they said they would do when they voted,” Clinton said. “Politicians are actually more honest than most people think they are.”

That’s a good answer.  So Maggie Hassan really thinks it’s OK to physically beat Republican’s with a bat?  Got it.

Hazz…Hasss…Hassan said some stuff too but sadly there was none of that honesty Perjurer Bill Clinton spoke of regarding her actual voting record.  All the taxes and fees she piled on the backs of the middle class.  The attempt at speech intimidation by keeping small business out of the political debate.  The effort to socialize health care in the state.  And that 800 million dollar deficit that NH House Democrat Finance committee member Cindy Rosenwald admitted that Democrat leaders (Like Hassan) knew about but now deny ever existed…All sadly absent.

Just TEA party this and TEA party that.  You know.  Those evil TEA Party people want you to “keep more of what you earn” or  “to get a little more freedom from unelected Bureaucrats.”  Democrats would never vote for that awful stuff.

How Much Is Enough? (And Other Problems With Left Wing Policy)

Why can't democrats trust their own constituents to do the right thing?  Their first response to every problem is to institutionalize it with more government, typically as far up the legislative food chain as possible.  That means as far away from you as they can manage, even to the point of giving control to unelected bureaucrats you can't punish, just to keep you from messing with it.  They entrench it in a bureaucracy, make it impossibly inefficient and expensive and then refuse to let anyone touch it ever again, while charging you more and more to maintain it.

The only reason I can think of for that kind of knee jerk behavior is that Democrats use themselves as the template for the rest of us. The left by their very nature must be selfish, insecure, inconsiderate and un-trusting. Only people so un-giving of themselves or simply incapable of volunteering their time and energy would have to mandate volunteerism and "giving" by legalizing the taking of other peoples time or property through mandates.

Taxation is a legalized theft with no limit; Ask Mark Fernald, the current titular class-warfare mouthpiece of the left in New Hampshire, how much property he needs the state to confiscate to end the class warfare he wages?  What are the terms of peace Mark, or are they terms of surrender?  Every month you go on and on with your class warfare but tell us, how long and how much?  At what point is government large enough to solve all the problems you imagine it must confront?

Once we have passed your tax on the well-off, and scared all the job creators away, what then? (do we plan to insist that they wont leave if you make it too expensive for them to live and do business here, or are you going to make it illegal for them to take their wealth and jobs someplace else?) If they leave, and they will because everyone has a breaking point, who then will create the jobs and provide the income for you to tax to keep your promise; to keep the state from having to abandon its bloated "obligation" to students, the old and the mentally ill, and every other victim class that you have conscripted for your war of guilt?

Mark Fernald has no idea.  No democrat does.  Just ask them, how much is enough?  They have no clue.  They cannot answer the question because they don't really care about education, the elderly or the mentally ill.  No democrat does.  They have no plan other than to make you feel guilty, to use guilt to raise taxes, to grow government, and when government fails to paint the rosy picture they promised to blame someone else and insist they can solve it with even more government. (and more taxes.)

That's their entire game plan.  It's all they've got.

But government cannot promise an endless stream of support for more and more--the model is unsustainable.  Just look at states that have tried?  They are falling apart.  Despite what we can plainly see before us, New Hampshire Democrats would rather jump start the failed state class war, lie about the known outcome, and milk the cow to death.  They will promise you something for nothing, but they are only growing the numbers of dependents to be left in the lurch when the cow drops dead, instead of allowing people to struggle just a little to create enough wealth on their own to get by--to embrace their individual rights and responsibilities; to earn property of their own; to care for themselves so that they will have the resources to decide who among the truly needy they can best serve.

But the left-wing/Fernald plan cannot survive in the face of people who learn to care for themselves and their own first, people who do not need to rely on the government.  So his plan is to use class warfare and the pall of left wing guilt to appeal to human weakness; you know you have better things to do, let the government take care of it for you. You won't even have to pay for it.  We'll tax someone else.

This is the entire platform of the New Hampshire democrat party in a nutshell.  You sit back.  We'll take care of it.  You won't even have to pay.  But that never works.  Government never gets smaller with democrats in charge.    It never stops trying to do more.  It never gets less expensive.  And it eventually collapses under its own weight leaving everyone in the lurch.

You can choose to believe it wont happen this time, but you'd be lying to yourself.  The science, the math, the history is unforgiving.  If you engage in class warfare against the wealthy, the investment class, the job creators, they will eventually take their wealth, those taxes, those jobs, and that investment someplace else and leave the democrats and government with the check, which will then be paid for by whomever is left.  If there is no money--and with less investment and jobs and more government mouths to feed there will be less money--that many more will be abandoned by the penniless all caring government of the left.

The only solvent future is a small government that makes it easier for a free and prosperous people, secure in their rights to themselves and their property, to look into their hearts, and do the right thing for their families and their communities.  These are the places people flock to.  These are the communities and states that attract jobs and wealth and every kind of prosperity.

The kind of place Fernald, Sullivan and the NH democrats envision is a slope to dependency, mediocrity, and depravity, and they have no problem guilting you into helping them lead us there, and demagoging any and every effort to return the money and power back to you, the people of the State who earned it.

Ultimately it all comes down to this.  Democrats are incapable of accepting the idea of individual rights and personal property, two things that are intertwined and inseparable. 

Property rights are a foundation of freedom and of prosperity.  If democrats believe you have no individual right to your legally earned and owned property, that you are only entitled to whatever property they do not need to take for the purposes of their ever expanding government, then you have no rights but the ones they allow you to have.  That means you have no rights at all.  No state or nation run this way has ever prospered. 

So ask the democrats, any democrat, to show you one that has?  Ask them how their plan will be different from the failed states of Michigan, or New York, or California? Ask them how they intend to "tax the rich" yet keep them here to invest and create jobs and growth?  Ask them who will create jobs in their absence and how will we pay for them?  Ask them, how much tax money is enough?  Ask them who they will tax when there are no "rich" to tax?

They have no idea.  Ask them anyway.  Be relentless.  They will call you names.  They will change the subject.  They will try to paint you as a racist, sexist, misogynist, ageist, Tea-bagging, anti-Obama, Birther, hater of insert name here.  They will do everything but answer the question.  Keep asking them anyway.  Make them look inside themselves to explain why they do not trust people.  Why do they need someone else to do the right thing for them and how much will we have to pay to relieve their guilt?

Mark Fernald as "Hugh Jihass"

Does Democrat Mark Fernald do the letters to the editor follow up over at Fosters Daily Democrat or is he just complicit?  Amidst a series of letters posted on January 14th at Fosters.com is a smarmy bit of left wing drool authored by one Hugh Jidette.  Fernald liked the letter so much that he shared it on his email distribution list saying...

Here's an excellent letter from Foster's Daily Democrat.  I encourage all to write their own letters to expose what the right wing is up to.

Mark Fernald

Forget what the right wing has been up to, what has Fosters and Mark Fernald been up to? 

Hugh Jidette is a false name.  Huge Jidette (Huge Debt) appears as a fake Presidential Candidate to deliver awareness ads about out of control spending and the risks of borrowing on the scale the democrats embraced.  Hugh was all about borrowing money.  But Some on the left spun that and sold it to their peeps as proof that the Republicans were lying about taxes and using the campaign to justify slashing the deficit to punish hard working civil servants.  That exact same theme has found its way here in the letter published in Fosters, by a Hugh Jidette from Rochester, but with a local spin. The national left wing meme viewed through a granite state filter.

But we have no way of knowing if it was written by Fernald himself, Kathy Sullivan, Ray Buckley, The Center for American Progress, 'Norris Cotton' over at Red Hampshire, or by Fosters Editorial Staff.  

One thing we do know is that the person vetting letters over at Fosters should change their name to Hugh Jihass, and that by forwarding it as if it were written by an actual local resident, Fernald looks like a Hugh Jihass as well.

Below is the original email, followed by a video from the original fictional charachter--Hugh Jidette

Subject: An excellent letter for you to consider

Here's an excellent letter from Foster's Daily Democrat.  I encourage all to write their own letters to expose what the right wing is up to.

Mark Fernald

Foster’s Daily letter:  

Shot through  

To the editor: If some people had their way they would pay no local, state or federal taxes. They seem to think all the services they get from local, state and the federal government are free or that someone else should pay for them. Surely if taken away they'd be the first ones complaining about lack of government services. "It's OK to cut government services as long as they're not mine" is their ideology. It is interesting that people continue to complain about high federal taxes, when in reality they are at their lowest levels in 60 years. Many complain about Obama tax hikes, but can't name a single tax that has affected them personally. Taxing us into the stone age is their hollow battle cry!  

People like to complain about higher health-care costs and blame Obamacare. Well in reality health-care costs have been going up steadily for decades, so how do they explain that?  

For over 40 years, the right wing has mounted an irrepressible campaign to discredit the very concept of government in the United States.  

The wealthy elites that dominate the American Right have financed the campaign to demonize government because they want the opportunity to pursue a very different group of values that have nothing to do with America's founding principles. They want the right to concentrate more and more wealth and power into their own hands. Unfortunately many middle class Americans have been bamboozled by their propaganda.  

The reason state and local budgets are in trouble simply has nothing to do with their spending on public employees. It's about the financial crisis which triggered the Great Recession. Millions are unemployed and not paying taxes. In 2009, the recession dipped state tax revenues by 1/3. There's no way on earth to attribute that to public workers. The obliteration of state revenue is entirely to blame. And the folks who created and sold toxic mortgage instruments and sucked trillions in wealth into a high-risk vortex shoulder the burden. And yet they are not shouldering any of the responsibility; those danged public workers are.  

Public servants are convenient scapegoats. Republicans would rather deflect attention from corporate executive pay that continues to rise as corporate profits soar, even as corporations refuse to hire more workers. They don't want stories about Wall Street bonuses, now higher than before taxpayers bailed out the Street to get out.  

It's far more convenient to go after people who are doing the public's work — sanitation workers, police officers, fire fighters, teachers, social workers, federal employees — to call them "faceless bureaucrats" and portray them as hooligans who are making off with your money and crippling federal and state budgets.  

The story fits better with the Republican's big lie that our problems are due to a government that's too big.  Above all, Republicans don't want to have to justify continued tax cuts for the rich. As quietly as possible, they want to make them permanent.  

But the right's argument is shot through with bad data, twisted evidence, and unsupported assertions. Just look their track record from 2001-2009!  

Hugh Jidette, Rochester

Carol Shea- What The..?

Disgraced left wing rube and soon-to-be former Pelosi-Party Representative to New Hampshire Carol SEIU-Porter hit the pages of this mornings Union Leader like fingernails on a chalkboard.  But it is a familiar sound.  In fact I believe she has just plagiarized her own 2006 campaign web site.  We've got irresponsible spending, two wars we could not afford, I'm just itching to play the song 'Reminiscing' by the Little River Band while I read it.

Carol, of course had nothing to do with any of that.  Since 2006 when democrats took over the budget writing arm of government the wars ended, the deficit went away, and the middle class has prospered like never before in human history.  Of course the deficit has ballooned into the trillions with no appreciable benefit--not even to her Union and public sector friends who got most of it, with trillions more dispensed illegally through the Executive branch without a word from Carol.  Nor is there any indication as to why she can bitch like a Catholic school girl with a itchy wool skirt about past abuses while the Obama administration amassed scores of extra-constitutional czars usurping her own constitutional legislative authority and immune to her chambers oversight.

Oh wait.  I'm sorry.  Carol wants an unaccountable morass of bureaucrats to hide behind so she can go to parties, collect her taxpayer salary, and blame a system she promises she'll work hard to fix with another layer of government...as soon as you re-elect her to congress.  That didn't happen, and she is bitter.  She thinks you are a moron for not sending her back to congress and now she is going to make you pay (more) for it.

This is a woman who is so steeped in her own party juices that she can't get the scowl off her face from losing.  By the way? Is she ever going to call Guinta and congratulate him on his voctory?  It's been what, six weeks now?  Talk about bitter clinger.

She actually believes she has cut taxes on the middle class while spending trillions and trillions that no amount of evil rich people could ever pay for.  The fact that those trillions will have to come out of the middle class at some point--even tough they have started to already--is lost on her.

She is part of the church of "It could have been worse."  She inherited unemployment under 5% and is leaving us with it at 10%, yet nothing she has done can be blamed? 

She started with a deficit around 300 billion and is leaving with one in the trillions, yet this is not her fault.

And she has the gall to suggest that Republicans are pilfering social programs--in a democrat majority congress where Republicans have no power whatsoever--after she has voted to raid food stamp money to pay for more of the useless left wing spending spree including unemployment benefits that are required because her majority has done nothing to fix the problem and simply decided it's just going  to have to be that way.

Even in the majority, she cannot accept blame, even in the majority she is a useless pawn incapable of an original thought.

And she is still spending.  Even after losing the election she still has not gotten the message. Nor do I think she ever will.

Republican Suckers!?

John Lynch could only win re-election with the help of Republicans and independents and so he did.  So are they all liberals in denial, or just a bunch of suckers?  Someone fell for the lies about the budget.  They believed the liberals and their RINO agitators who sold them on a $70 million dollar surplus while the state was still trying to rob the JUA and sell off property.  Never occurred to ask why the state needed to spend taxpayer money on lawsuits and litigation to steal money from the JUA when they claimed to have a "surplus?"

I asked that question often.

But when votes showed up in adequate numbers to take every branch of government with a super majority of Republicans, they still left the little governor that could.  Suckers.

We are suckers because on November third, as if by magic, the surplus smoke screen cleared to reveal the wreckage of years of democrat majority rule.   Now that the election is over we have a budget crisis again. 

Cathy Silber of the very partisan (so-called non-partisan) GSFTC began early by trying to sell the solution for our resurrected funding woes on a more modern revenue structure. (Sales and income taxes if you didn't know.)  Every major democrat began talking about the challenges of dealing with a Republican majority and our budget situation--and how it might affect services.  And now John Lynch admits we have a huge problem.

Have?  We always had this problem!  And we have it because John Lynch let the democrat majority spend and spend, then used gimmicks and one time money to hide it, and now it is time to pay.

When will we learn?

From this morning's union leader...

Lynch said he’s ordered all agency heads to find a way to cut 5 percent from their existing budgets. The move is his way of addressing what could be a revenue shortfall of more than $600 million with no changes in spending or taxes

Emphasis mine. 

And doesn't that number sound familiar?  A revenue shortfall of 600 million with no change in spending or taxed.  Not to put to fine a point on it, but while 5% is a nice gesture it lacks parity with the fiscal reality of the lives of those who must pay for this government.

The line watched most closely is spending of money raised by state taxes over the next two years. That total soars to $3.7 billion, compared to $2.9 billion now, an increase of 31 percent. Part of the increase is the fact that one-time dollars, most notably federal stimulus funds, will not be available in 2012 and 2013.

For those a bit slow on the uptake, let's call them Lynch voters for now, Mr. Lynch used one time money to hide excessive liberal spending (during a four year period when inflation was basically flat) we need to increase revenues to cover all that fiscal gymnastics.

So while people were trying to hang onto their homes and cutting corners, the democrats were spending their declining income like there was no tomorrow.  Turns out for most of the elected democrats there was no tomorrow,all except for governor Lynch.  He's still there, thanks to whoever fell for all the lies.

Of course the deficit problem would still exist without him, so perhaps it is better that he can not escape responsibility for it.

We do have a veto proof majority--though that could prove to be less of an advantage on issues like fixing education funding and dealing with spending issues that might affect local property taxes.  But on the whole, there is a more important lesson to be learned...

Lynch Lied.  The democrats lied.  The Republican's for Lynch lied.  The media that regurgitated the surplus meme failed to do their jobs.  This has to be fixed, and it might hurt, but if we don't do it now, your future will be coming up taxes, and taxes and more taxes.

As we ponder the options we may find another way to describe John Lunch's unprecedented fourth term as governor.  I'm open to suggestions.
