OOPSY IN EXETER!!!
People lie because they are liars; they make mistakes because they
make decisions. This is not a difficult
concept to understand.
At the last deliberative session and after about a two hour discussion
on the Epping Rd. TIF Warrant Article 14 came up on the election (names placed
on the budget recommendations committee).
Nelson Lourenco stood up to make a motion and that was for him to step
down and appoint Frank Ferraro in his place.
A single vote on that motion passed and a second vote was taken to place
that warrant on the March ballot.
I was out of the room when that happened, probably just as well.
After I found out what happened alarm bells were going off that this
may have been an illegal vote. I might
be wrong; but, I did check with some parliamentarians who agreed with my
assessment that it was illegal.
In our opinion the right way to do this was to take a vote to accept
Lourenco’s resignation and then vote on putting Ferraro on the budget
committee; so what we did was two issues with one vote and that was the vote on
the motion.
If I am right I do not blame any of the town officials or the
voters. After the TIF discussion I think
everyone’s eyes were glazed over. I do
blame Lourenco and Ferraro for the underhanded tactics to get Ferraro on the
budget committee when he probably would not be voted into or appointed to that
position. A short time before this
Ferraro was at the mike professing to support “the process” and they conspired
with a small group to violate “the process” and hoodwink the Exeter Voters.
There is a way to correct this and that is at Town Meeting in March is
simply to vote NO on article 14, which votes on the names of people going on
the budget committee and if article 14 fails, then the selectman would have to
appoint the members of the budget committee.
The budget committee members and the voters should not be subjected to
this type of FREE STATE MANUVERING NONSENSE; this is the kind of actions that
the Free State group does to win an issue they can’t win any other way.
I have the greatest respect for the Town Moderator, the Town Clerk, and all the people that work hard to make democracy work in Exeter including the voters; but, the blatant actions by these people who’s strategy is to take advantage of them and the voters is inexcusable.
I will be voting no on article 14.

QUANDT'S OPINION!!!
I have been watching what is going on in the world and I am
totally amazed at the stupidity, not only in the US, but by our allies. Quite frankly there is just too much to write
about or comment on.
First, I believe the US is going to get hit and hit hard by
a terrorist attack. We are so politically correct it is going to get us
killed. There should be travel
restrictions to certain countries, including the US and if there is a hint of
terrorist activities the passport should be revoked and the person not allowed
back into this country again. If Muslims
that come into our country do not swear and agree to follow US laws and our
Constitution they should not be allowed in; laws in our country are governed by
the constitution, the courts, and legislative bodies; not the Koran. No matter how much Obama tries to cover these
atrocities and be the pr front man for the koraniacs, the American people are
starting to see through it.
We cannot continue to see the atrocities that are being
perpetuated by the rightful or wrongful interpretation of the Koran. These need to be shown to the American public
so they can make up their minds as to whether this is a peaceful religion or
people who don’t know the difference between right or wrong.
I got a horrific email showing a young beautiful Christian Syrian
girl who was tied to a bed by white clothe strips, gang raped by 20 Muslims,
she was so bloodied I couldn’t tell if they had cut out her eyes but it looked
like it, I couldn’t tell if she had her heart cut out (too bloody to see an
incision) but a cross with Jesus was rammed down her throat. I guess the Koran
isn’t very tolerant. If this is the real
war on women where are the Femi Nazis defending women’s rights or is that all
about abortion and not religious rights?
I just saw another video where ISIS took two homosexuals to a
very tall building throw them off one at a time and they went “splat” to the cheers
of a very large crowd. Where are the gay
rights activists that pushed so had for gay rights and gay marriage?
I know how to be politically correct; but, I just can’t do
it anymore we need to speak about the third world war that we are involved in. We are not at war with Syria, Iraq,
Afghanistan, etc, etc. We are at war
with the Muslim religion. We don’t want
to admit it and Obama hides from it; but, I believe it is now recognized as
fact.
Let the people who follow Sharia Law who want to kill their
teen age daughters because they want to wear makeup or listen to our strange
American music do their thing; but, not in our country.
I think you have heard in the news how ISIS terror cells
want to stage more attacks in the US, I would suspect they will attack areas
that have strict gun control laws like California, NY, CT and DC. I doubt if they would attack a café in TX
because they might not make it through the door and then get buried on a pig
farm; I don’t know if Texans are politically correct towards people who try to
kill their families.
We will see if the American people will reject liberalism
and political correctness and start thinking of a common sense approach to
defending our country and ourselves.

HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT!!!
HANDS UP DON’T SHOOT!!!
It is very troubling
when people when confronted with the facts refuse to believe them like in Ferguson,
MO. The situation was tragic, as is
whenever anyone loses their life; but, there are personal situations where you
can almost determine, early on, who will not make it through life. I think this was one of those situations.
When looking
at police training you must look at the force continuum which has 8-9 steps
officers are trained in on the different levels of force, it goes all the way
from officer presence up the ladder or around the circle depending on which
model you are trained in, to lethal force.
I don’t have the time to do a police course on the issue; but, the
Officer in Fergusson went by the book.
He saw two men walking in the road and told them to get on the side walk,
what was the response, “I don’t give a F--- what you say”. The Officer is notified of a robbery at a
store with a description of the two subjects matching who he was already in
contact with. The Officer was over 6’
but the main subject was 6’6” and around 300 pounds, which under most normal
circumstances would have allowed for an escalation of force based on the subject’s
aggressiveness. What I don’t know is did
the Officer call for backup knowing he would have a hard time making an arrest,
did he have pepper spray or a taser and could he get to them?
We know the
rest; but was interesting was there was no credible testimony that the subject
had his hands up and trying to surrender; but, was attacking the police officer
and trying to steal his gun, that is lethal force justification. The old statistics were that 25% of police
officers that are killed are killed with their own gun, you put yourself in the
Officers position and you make the call.
People are
saying the officer should have been indicted and you can indict a ham
sandwich. You probably can indict a ham
sandwich; but, you better have substantial evidence that will lead to a
conviction or as a prosecutor you’re in trouble.
In short the
facts do not support the angry black rhetoric that is being put out by Al
Sharpton and some of the others, the old saying of “don’t confuse me with the
facts, I know the truth”, has come into play.
NY I CAN’T
BREATHE!!!
We have
another individual who was around 300 pounds and well over 6’ selling
individual cigarettes on a street corner that is not the issue to die
over. Supposedly was arrested numerous
times for similar problems. A passive
handcuffing technique might have worked, that is “ sir I am placing you under
arrest, please turn around and put your hands behind your back, if you think
the cuffs are too tight tell me and I will adjust them”, that type of
technique. If the officers had prior
knowledge that he was aggressive and a fighter then that technique is out the
window. Police are trained in the
technique that the safest position to handcuff that is non cooperative is by
placing the subject in the prone position (on their belly). The problem with this is when you fighting a
guy this big, with a big belly, you have to be concerned with positional asphyxia,
that is when you have a big belly and when you’re forced down on your stomach
all that weight pushes up against your diaphragm and you can’t breathe; couple
that with a number of Officers trying to control him and hold him down and he suffocated.
Another sad
case and loss of life, yes, criminal no, civil suit big time and it is a
training issue, did any officer do anything criminal, not that I could testify
to.
This is a
very short rendition of what I saw in the news; but what is scary is race relations
in the US have been set back about 50 yrs.
What I am afraid will happen is the KKK and white groups will grow in strength
and all hell can break lose. Race
relations under Obama have gone bad and we still have two more years to survive
his presidency and who knows about his legacy.

TWO BACK STABBERS WHICH ONE DO I VOTE FOR???
That was the
recent quandary facing the NH Legislature on organization day when they had to
vote for a speaker. In fact that was the
biggest complaint heard from the State Reps that they did not have a real
choice. O’Brien cooked his own goose
when one of the Billy bots made a motion for a rules change to make the vote
for speaker public and not secret. That
told those Reps sitting on the fence that the kinder O’Brien was all BS and
they voted against him.
The
Democrats had plenty of scores to settle with O’Brien, about as many as the
Republicans, because of the way he treated them; he treated them as some kind
of enemy with a total lack of respect, the same way he treated Republicans that
disagreed with him.
Well everyone looking for pay back got it on organization day.
What people
seemed to forget is Jasper is no better.
He was one of the very few State Reps that Matt and I were not dumb
enough to trust. In my opinion Jasper
was jealous of Matt who was in leadership, yes, O’Brien’s leadership, and Matt
was liked and trusted. I think his sense
of humor and honesty was something people respected in the group and he was very
easy to talk to. Jasper always had to be
the only puppy in the litter which caused frequent disagreements and dissention
in fact Jasper was not well liked and was eventually removed from leadership. Jasper made serious and false accusations
against Matt, which was proven false, after Matt quit the O’Brien team and
refused to go along with Right to Work. The
accusation caused serious ripple effects through the house and other than being
O’Brien’s lap dog Jasper was persona non grata with many Republicans and most
Democrats who couldn’t believe he was such a lying back stabber, this was
before he was removed. Well now he is
speaker and my suggestion is to hold on to your hat, the ride is just
beginning. Although many State Reps were
right and there were no alternatives, the house just got sunk to a new low.
The rumors
going around are that the Republican establishment was behind O’Brien’s derailment. I heard they were afraid of the damage O’Brien
would do and cause them to lose the 2016 elections for their chosen candidates,
such as Kelly Ayotte, who poll wise is running neck and neck with Hassan for
the US Senate race. The establishment
seems to be scared to death about this.
Well to the establishment, you just drove another nail into your
political agenda; you have a whole new level of enemies out here you didn’t
need to have.

IT IS NOT GOOD TO LIE TO THE VOTERS!!!
IT IS NOT GOOD TO LIE TO THE VOTERS!!!
For a little local discussion a friend of mine sent
me a local news article that was touting how the oysters were taking Viagra and
making a big comeback in Great Bay as well as the Eel Grass is having a
fantastic year.
This is quite surprising since the Exeter Dam is still up with all of
the nitrogen problems killing all the fish, etc, etc, etc. This is what we were told when the big push
was being made to tear down the dam at a cost of over a million dollars.
As you may have heard old houses, not maintained by the landlord, are
going to be torn down so new development can go in. I heard there was going to be cottages with
porches, a private club all overlooking the river; but, there is not going to
be a river we’ve nicknamed Clement Creek for the person who lead the charge to
tear down the dam when he was chairman of the Board of Selectman. A creek is what it is going to be. So I guess the little red riding hood cottages
won’t really have a river to sit and overlook.
I hope that will keep their tax bill down; but, I understand that cottage
porches were a selling point to the planning board.
What will the voters do when they realize they were lied to? That will be another story.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY WHO ARE
DEFENDING US!!!
