SEAIU 1984: UNION OR SOCIALIST CHANGE AGENTS!!!

I have been a member of SEA for over 20 years and always wondered why they always lean liberal.  If you look at the membership numbers the lowest amount is Republicans who feel the SEA does not represent them but always push for a different liberal socialist agenda.

It is not so much the union membership that has caused this but, the union leadership, most of which is liberal and pushing the socialist agenda.  A few years ago SEAIU1984 was pushing the liberal democrats anti war agenda of “Save our troops pull out of Iraq”.  In fact those signs that were popping up along our State Highways and rights of way, according to the little message on the bottom of the signs were paid for by SEAIU1984.  That agenda didn’t go far due to many SEA members being veterans, the high veterans count in NH and it brought back some real bad memories of the anti war protesters of the Vietnam era. 

Now they are pushing the Obama health care agenda, which, if there is an upside should bring down the Democratic Party within the next two elections.  Most people recognize that this health debacle is huge and we are just starting to get into it.  I was told that 40,000 AFL-CIO workers quit the union because of them pushing this health care program.  I think one of the main reasons the state employees voted against the state contract is because of the Obama care issues, it scared them and rightfully so.

Now SEAIU is pushing to take money away from those who work for it and make it and give it those people who don’t.  I think their catch word is economic equality.  So the old saying that our parents told us is, do good in school, work real hard, and make a good living now has been thrown out the window and the new saying is if you have more than I do, we need to take some from you and give it to me; that is not the American way.

The other socialist agenda item is gun control. I was told that the NH SEA President and the first vice president were at an anti gun rally, they denied that SEA supported this because they were there as private citizens.  When your president and first vice president of a union that is what you are, you don’t always have the luxury of hiding behind “I’m a private citizen”, if you want to be a private citizen that it will up to the union membership to vote you out of office and you can go back to being just a good union member and can do what you want. In fact the first Vice President and members of the Board of Directors were at subsequent Bloomberg rallies which were videoed. 

The issues that are facing us are Social Issue versus Union issues.  What issues that I have mentioned are union issues?  Are they pay raises,   Working conditions, Health insurance issues, a safe work environment?  No they are mostly socialist issues pushed by a union that thinks they are a socialist change agent and they are using the union membership to do it.

There is a lot of discontent within the SEA membership over what I have discussed.  There is an argument to be made that if a union doesn’t represent their membership then why the disenfranchised group is is being forced to pay agency fees.  If the more conservative and moderate wing of the union feel they are being used for a political agenda and not a union agenda, they should not be required to pay the fees.  If any legislation comes up to do away with these fees I think not being represented is a good argument.

WHO SAYS I PLAY SILLY GAMES???

At a recent selectmen’s’ meeting Frank Ferraro got on his hypocritical high horse and was talking about a selectman publically stating he played silly games and how he follows the law and that is not silly games.  It has become obvious that you and your free bagger friends are just trying to smear the BOS in preparation for the next election; I think the voters have seen that, much to your loss.

Frank, you missed the point, it has nothing to do with following or not following the law, it has to do with you stabbing other selectman in the back, bad mouthing them behind their backs and playing games with your free bagger friends.  To add insult to injury I actually had someone tell me they do not watch the selectmen’s meetings anymore because of you and your small group of supporters acting nuts at the public comment section. The voters in Exeter are just watching and realizing what the problem is on the BOS and I feel confident they will fix that in the next election by removing you.  I suspect when that happens you will break down and cry, because that is the sensitive sort of guy you are, but; you’ll get over it and the Town will function all the better.

It is almost as funny as Griset’s letters to the editor, all of which are starting to look like home work assignments from an anger management counseling program.

THE HEAT DOES AGGRAVTE THE LUNATIC FRINGES’ THOUGHT PROCESS!!!

 

Just recently there has been an uptick in the lunatic fringes activity.  We recently had a very strange young man, who we affectionately call a California Drama Queen, go before the selectman, make strange accusations and follow up his psychological rants with letters to the editor.  Evidently someone accused him of being a member of the lunatic fringe and that set him off again.  I never thought he was a member, I always thought he was on the board of directors. He just needs to remember if he doesn’t act crazy nobody will think he is crazy.

Then at the last selectman’s meeting the Town Managers secretary had the day off and there was a screw up on the agenda posting.  Evidently that was her job and there were errors made.  The lunatic fringe started making accusations for lack of transparency, shenanigans and some very strange stuff.  All over what appeared to be a simple mistake that the selectmen had nothing to do with, it was the town managers issue.

The lunatic fringe is still trying to jockey for pole position for the elections in March.  They didn’t learn from the last election that the Exeter voters are fed up with them.  We just need a couple of good, mentally stable candidates with a proven record of representing the voters and taxpayers of Exeter to come forward and sign on the dotted line.

My prediction is this group will be rejected again, in the next election, based on their psychological shortcomings as well as their message.

While the nutties were acting nutty, Matt opened the discussion on putting the LGC repayment money towards our property tax savings and asking the school district to do the same and the board thought that was a good idea.  Congratulations to Matt for keeping his eye on the ball and not losing sight of the ball and not letting the nuts get through to him and the other board members.

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!!!

This was a facebook posting by Rep Gary Hopper about NH's SEA involvement in the NH anti gun campaign.  I don't think it needs anymore explanation right now; but, in the near future.

WHEN POLITICAL RHETORIC MEETS BUDGET REALITY!!!

We all know that when politicians are campaigning they sometimes will say or do anything to get votes.  When Governor Maggie was running she was saying how, if elected, she would tell her department heads to give her budget numbers that were 3% less than what the Republicans gave them in the last budget.

When Bully was running for State Rep in the last election he said he was going to cut spending by 400 million $’s.

Well it looks like the state is about 300 million $’s short in the budget, depending on who you listen too, which is probably about Gov. Maggie was talking about for numbers.  But now that the numbers are probably close to what she was talking about the world seems to be collapsing with the lack of money for this program and that program.

One of the problems seems to be that NH is lagging behind on coming out of the recession, in short the revenue projections are down.  If the department heads are not careful they will start taking money out of the 2d year of their two year budget to cover shortfalls in their first year’s budget.  You don’t need a degree in economics to see the problem.

It is still too early to call the shots on the proposed budget; but, it is clear that reality is setting in.

GOOD NEWS!!!

The rumor is Bully O’Brien is going to run for Congress in the somewhat liberal 2d CD, the seat is currently held by Annie Kuster.

That means that every Republican that Free Bagger O’Brien screwed over can now have another shot at him.  Republican from around the state will show up to hold signs for his opposition in the primary.

Anybody that doesn’t believe in a living god should rethink their position.

MORE GOOD NEWS!!!

I have been hearing that more and more Free Staters are complaining that they made a mistake in coming to NH.  Evidently they feel they were sold a bill of goods and thought they were going to be welcomed with open arms, only to find that when they are identified, they are being rejected by NH Citizens.

Some of the people who openly admit to being Free Staters are very smart and just nice people; but, like in the NH Republican Party the nuts are the ones bringing down the whole program.

LIVING PROOF THAT BOTH PARTIES HAVE THEIR SHARE OF NUTS AND THE LUNITIC FRINGE!!!

I have been told this picture was sent to Senator Ayotte on Mother’s Day from the Londonderry Democratic Committee on their website.

These are some of the pictures of victims of the shooting in Newtown being used to promote a liberal political agenda.

I have been active in Republican politics since 1972 and thought I have seen it all; but, nothing as low as this, no matter what party or what candidate, this is most despicable.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!!

                  

It was good to see the current Republican State Party Chairman and two prior State Party Chairman come out and chastise the State Rep from Auburn for her remarks about the government being behind the Boston Marathon bombing.  Two prior chairmen referred to her, I believe, as a “nut case”. The current State Party Chairman just disowned her and promised no support from the Republican Party if she decides to run again.

The Rockingham County Republican Party will now have to make a decision on whether to put up enough candidates to unseat her in the next election.

The assessment of her by the two prior chairmen is right on.  Although I welcome this timely assessment it is about two and a half years too late.  Unfortunately, she is not the only one in Concord that made us cringe when some of them open their mouths before engaging their brain.  Couple this last embarrassment with referring to women as “vaginas” and another State Rep that wants to purify the Republican Party in NH and you end up with NH being the laughing stock of the country right now.

If we are going to clean up the mess in the NH Republican Party it needs to go top to bottom.

In Exeter it appears that we have a selectman who is telling people that part of his job is to uncover what the other selectmen or members of town government are hiding from him.  Nobody that I know of is hiding anything except, perhaps, their lack of respect and trust for the 5^th selectman.  What he doesn’t understand is if people do not trust you, and they have plenty of reasons not too, they don’t want to talk to you.  So far four members of the board have been too nice not to bring out what they think of the 5^th, maybe they are saving it until they get closer to the election, I can only hope.

The warnings have been out there for a couple of years, as a party we are destroying ourselves with more and more people saying, “I didn’t leave the party the party left me”.  I’ve talked about this issue for a couple of years and now you can all see what the state has had to endure.

The good news for Republicans is Obamacare is a horror show and some insurance brokers and professionals are saying this will set us back for years to come and cost us a fortune.  If they are right and I have no reason to doubt them, this will cause the voters to reject the democrats in the next election, and no matter how crazy the Republicans look right now blindly vote in anyone who has an R after their name.

Matt and I have always been proud of our Republican roots and have not compromised on our conservative principles.  However, there have been times when we were not proud of our party and things that have taken place; we came to realize that with either party it is all about money and power and not about people.  Even in our beautiful little Town of Exeter, Dennis Brady and a small group of very strange people (who’s hiding whatever’s) tried to politicize the non political selectman’s race.  In a selectman’s race you look for leaders, not the name callers.

I can see some similarities between the Concord “nut cases” and what is happening in Exeter.
