NH Protesters to Gather Dec 23rd to Decry Legislative Technicality Used to Ban Firearms in Capital Building
So much to say here, but to let you know, just a few days ago, a special committee got together to do what the legislture was unwilling to do: Ban firearms from the state capital.
What's that Second Amendment thing? THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED? I guess that depends on whether you're a politician and you consider public buildings provided through the forced expropriation of tax dollars as some other realm of reality that doesn't fall into the purvue of that Amendment. Strange that, huh?
If you are interested, gether at 2:30 pm at the Statehouse in Concord. Bring a weapon for self defense.

A glimpse into the statist mindset
Statists have been engaging in all sorts of outrageous antics to silence opposition, from media blatantly refusing to cover issues and movements involved with freedom to the bounty on a US Chamber of Commerce official. Perhaps one source of the "intellectual" (if one can call it that) foundation of the statists' determination to silence any and all dissent may be found in an essay titled "Repressive Tolerance" by Herbert Marcuse, the "Father of the New Left". The essay is sick, twisted and actually painful to read. This essay may also be the foundation of political correctness.

Supreme Court of US Upholds Lower Court Ruling: "Detainees Aren't People"
Cute.
Love that term "Constitutional Rights", as if rights only exist when they're cited in the Constitution, as if they are bequeathed to people by government.

Feds Simply IMPOSE New Rules on Air Carriers - Nothing Like Freedom, Huh?
Looking at it with a wider lens... First, the feds break the Constitution to take over the control of the air routes, beginning in the 1920's-1930's. FDR sends out millions of Dollars to local politicians to build new airports where the market would not have placed them. Then the Feds impose insane, anti-constitutional, pro-union rules on the airlines, THEN, the feds take over the security at the airports. Each one of these causes delays, inefficiencies, and dictates that have no connection to the desires of consumers. So, you have airlines being delayed by security, you have air routes that get clogged due to government control of them, and you have excessive costs due to union involvement.

As Expected: Final Dem Holdout Sides in Favor of Health Fascism
Meanwhile, people like Dick Morris tell Fox News that, to paraphrase: "Well, probably something will pass, but it will be so watered-down, innocuous. It'll probably just have a provision mandating guaranteed issue..." Blah, Blah.

Climate Change Nuts Broker "Deal" in Copenhagen-daas
Before you read, keep in mind that there are only about three valuable paragraphs in this article. First, it's mentioned that there is no actual treaty. And then you can gleen that the US gubment has promised $100 Billion to "developing nations" -- ie a bunch of crooks who lead THOSE countries -- to help them reduce their "climate change emissions".
Whose money is that?
Hmm... Hmm...
So hard to figure out!

Obama Threatens Chinese Gubment at "Climate Change" Conference: "We Need TO ACT"
Yeah, we know, President O. Of course, the word "acting" also has a secondary definition. We know who's been "acting" and misleading.
Isn't it cute to see the President threaten to withhold the money of American citizens, expropriated from them whether they like it or not?

Dems Plan for Christmas Eve health Fascism Vote: Watch, Mandatory/Universal Coverage Will Be Central Element
The pieces are being set on the chess board. The destruction of the private health insurance industry will be achieved within a few years. Meanwhile, so-called "moderate" Republicans say that they, too, believe there needs to be "reform" to force private insurance companies to accept people with preexisting conditions. These are precisely the suckers and economic neophytes who will destroy the private system.
It's coming. Get ready. And don't listen to those who tell you America "dodged a bullet" when this thing passes.

Hillary Clinton Promises $100 Billion of Your Money and Your Neighbors' Money to Bogus UN "Climate Initiative"
Let's see. So we once more mention that the so-called "science" pushed by the backers of anthropogenic global warming (now termed "Climate Change", since the globe has been COOLING since 1998) is faulty. We have to mention that increases in CO2 FOLLOW increases in global temp, they don't PRECEDE higher temps, and we have to mention that this kind of government-sanctioned theft harms living standards and lives in real terms. But hey, why not play, have fun with other peoples' money. After all, life's short, right?
Enjoy!

Schiff Sees Bogus Stock Growth Coming, Much As We Have Been Discussing...
Yep. The vast majority of people out there will not understand that the increases in stock prices do not necessarily reflect increases in VALUE. Instead, as we know, they reflect a decrease in the buying power of the Dollar caused by a massive liquidity push from the central bank and US Congress.
As we have mentioned, there will be a period of perhaps a year, give or take a few months, when things look to be on the rebound. We think that there will be some hires by business, but if the health fascism bill passes, then all bets are off. Things will collapse much more rapidly, and there will be a true economic storm the likes of which this nation has never seen.
Ever.
