The New Media Militia

Have you heard of Upfront Magazine?  It’s a product of the New York Times, delivered through Scholastic to public schools and then public school students, and it is not much different from the actual New York Times.  For example, the September 6th 2010 issue has articles that promote workers rights in China (promoting Unions), seek to explain the complex problem with illegal immigrants (soft selling Amnesty), and then there’s the cover article–‘Americas Challenges 2011,’ a discourse on some of the issues that our new President Obama must cope with.

Here are the opening few paragraphs.

You ready for it?

First and foremost she obviously isn’t listening–a natural extension of not reading.  Not reading bills.  Not reading the Constitution. She just sees government as the arbiter of all things, and assumes a distant central government is the only way to achieve them.  Everything else is lip service, and local government merely exists to dispense money and justice as decreed by the lords and ladies at court in Washington DC.  So Carol has no grasp whatsoever on the construction and maintenance of a constitutional republic where the goal is not “no government,” it is limited federal government with an emphasis on local control.  So perhaps she is incapable of understanding that wanting local control does not mean wanting no government–it means you prefer to have it close at hand so that you can keep an eye on it–Washington DC is simply too far away, further for some than others.

A limited federal system allows the states to frame and define just as much or as little government as they like, and maintain the ability to change that as the make up and interests of each states residents evolve over time.  Tying it all up at the federal level denies flexibility based on different needs, resources, and other factors.  But Carol does not or cannot conceive of this difference which makes her dangerous, or stupid or both. 

So yesterday’s debate is instructive and demonstrate for us the stark differences between these two candidates.  If you want more federal control and an intrusive national overlord and a the continued erosion of state and local authority you must vote for Carol SEIU-Porter.  She has made it clear that our lives cannot be free of the federal government, nor that we should want it to be, therefore we must have as much of it heaped upon us as she and Nancy Pelosi can imagine, strings attached and debt be damned.

That just makes her what I’ve been calling her off and on for a few years now–the federal governments representative to New Hampshire, not the other way around.  She is a command economy socialist and a threat to the US Constitution.

The NH GOP had a convention Saturday to get all rah-rah and make decisions about the party platform.  They were hoping for at least 400 of the states 725 delegates but only 294 delegates made the event. That is not unusual but there are some who think it is in indicative of waning in enthusiasm.

Take this Ray Buckley Facebook comment for example.

So much for NH Republican “enthusiasm”, less than 25% of the delegates bothered to show up to yesterday’s state convention.

This suggests several things, none of which have anything to do with GOP enthusiasm.  First, Ray must feel certain that no one in his party will bother to do the math.  You see, there are 725 delegates, and 294 of them showed up, so that equals….just over 40%…not less than 25%.  Anyone who repeats this can be lumped into the category of left-wing lemming or blind liberal acolyte.

Second, he might not care whether anyone will bother to do the math.  Maybe that makes him arrogant, or perhaps it is a sign of his own desperation, given that all his evil plans appear to be unraveling.

Third, we now know the starting range of the Buckley margin of error (MoE).  Based on his math skills, combined with some genetic proclivity (or perhaps ingrained party policy) to just make things up, the current range of potential error is at least 15% plus whatever ‘less’ means in this context.

It also simply reaffirms what most of us already knew– you simply cannot believe a single thing this guy says.

[Updated] Ray must be in the little smurf village now.

LOL! The down and desperate NH Republicans are having a cow over getting called out on their embarrassing lack of attendance at their state convention on Saturday! LOL!

My response?

LOL! A majority of independents who were not at the convention are what will hand Buckley the most embarrassing defeat of his life and no matter how much or how often he lies to the useful idiots in the democrat party and their RINO helpers he is helpless to stop it.  LOL!  And we’re not having a cow, were having donkey you dishonest has been.

[and one other point] The anointed one has so tarnished the democrat brand–by simply being an actual democrat–that he can’t even fill a room anymore.  200 seats shy of 650 after dropping the price?  And they were on the phone looking for butts to put in the seats–not unlike Shea-Porters staffer at 8:20 in the morning when there was no one there in support of her debate appearance.  Keep slinging it Ray, the only people listening are those of us who use you as a circus prop and the liberals who are too stupid to see past your BS.
