Guestblog: DeLauro Continues to Deceive & Receive

Commentary by Chris Schaefer, Connecticut

Yesterday Rosa DeLauro commented on a “new” report—
based on OLD and utterly inaccurate “statistics”—
and issued by the “social justice” organization “Social Security Works”.
DeLauro: “Today, women make just 77 cents for every dollar made by a man for equal work”
—a “statistic” which has been disproved time and time again,
ever since DeLauro first began ranting about it, for example: http://www.usnews.com/debate-club/should-the-senate-pass-the-paycheck-fairness-act/paycheck-fairness-act-is-based-on-a-misapplied-statistic .
The fact that Rosa DeLauro would continue to quote such false information
underscores her desperate willingness to use ANY deceptive means whatsoever
to support her perpetual re-election.
DeLauro: “inequality affects women of color more than any other racial background”.
Which begs the question:
Why therefore should ‘women of color’ continue to support a politician
who has been unable to improve the overall economic status of CT’s minorities,
despite serving 24 years in Congress—

Guestblog: Conservative Round up by Palin Smith

Guestblog by Connecticut resident videographer & activist Palin Smith. The Middletown Insider publishes guestblogs as a courtesy to readers, opinions expressed may not be that of the Insider staff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREETINGS PATRIOTS

JOHN MCKINNEY MUST GO This week got off with a successful rally in Southport.
Not many donors attended a John McKinney fundraiser at a popular restaurant.
Several new activists including Jack from Bethlehem, whose natural talent was amazing.
Several videos may be found attached to this view of Jack describing why he was there in the dark so far from his cozy home 40 miles away.

There are two men whom must never be elected governor. First is Governor Dannel Malloy because we've seen what damage he can inflict. Second is John McKinney, who can never be trusted again to lead.

–---------------------------------------------

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS Tuesday was the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. The New Haven Museum commemorated the date by hosting an enthusiastic history professor and an amazing Lincoln re-enactor. We videoed the entire presentation. Questions from the 100 people in attendance were particularly of interest. There are seven clips in all. You may view them all by following this link.

–-----------------------------------------------

TEA PARTY CHALLENGES MALLOY TO DEBATE Bob MacGuffie, the spokesman for the Ct Tea Party reacted to the Governor's attack on our Tea Party Patriots. You can see what led up to the challenge, and then read an article in the Hartford Courant blog.

And acting on a request from Tom Dudchik of the Capitol Report, we traveled to Fairfield to record MacGuffie's video challenge. Dudchik said he intends to make a news story of this challenge and will feature it on his Sunday morning TV show.

–--------------------------------------------------------

SHAWN IN BRISTOL Last Tuesday, Nov. 12, we backed up Bristol anti-Agenda 21 activist Shawn Ruest, in his attempt to awaken his city in time to forestall a big mistake.
We all should become aware of any regional unelected governmental entities that threaten our way of life. If you don't pay attention you might just be left with a big bill to try to pay off. We should have at least one Shawn in each CT town.

–--------------------------------

COMMON CORE The next day, Wednesday Nov. 13 we attended the regular Plymouth Board of Education meeting. At that meeting were possibly the best team of Common Core fighters ever assembled at a CT small town BOE meeting. It was historic to watch our friends from Plymouth and other towns work together to help educate the BOE and others at the meeting. If you would like these patriots to help you reject the Common Core State Standards in your town, contact us.

–--------------------------------------------------

WALLINGFORD Be advised that there will be a state wide meeting on Common Core this Saturday, Nov. 23 from 1-4 PM at the Wallingford Parks and Rec. Building at 6 Fairfield Blvd. And please join the STOP Common Core Face Book group to keep constantly informed. Almost 700 members and growing fast.

–--------------------------------------

SAVE OUR STATE since the spring we've watched a group of patriots form a political action group in the Quiet Corner. After seven months the group has grown to exceed the activity of local Republican Town committees. They manned stations at the polling places in the 29th state senate district on Election Day. They used issues to attract attention, educate and persuade the voters. Have you ever seen the CT GOP do that?

Led by Duffy Dauphinais of Killingly, their goal is to supply enough volunteers to topple Donald Williams from the State Senate. They are still searching for the best candidate to oppose Williams, and when they find that person they will have a ready-made campaign infrastructure ready to roll. If you would like to join the District 29 chapter of Save Our State you can follow Duffy's prompting in this video. And you can start your own group anywhere, any time. And we will help.

–--------------------------------


MARCH AGAINST MAIN STREAM MEDIA CT We stayed in the Quiet Corner Friday night. First thing on Saturday morning we headed westward to attend our first ever March Against Main Stream Media CT.
A varied group of patriots gathered in front of the Hartford Courant Building at 1 PM.

Joe Visconti and Dani McEvoy hosted the event which lasted over two hours. The weather was perfect. You can view the highlights by linking from this video interview.

–-----------------------------------------------------------

ELIZABETH ESTY What's a Democrat to do these days? The Congressman is getting bashed from the right and the left. 2014 is going to be so much fun to watch. But so much more fun to participate. Join up now and be a hero.

–----------------------------------------------------------

We often travel the state to attend and record pertinent events and rallies. Along the way we seek out welcome signs in every town. Our goal is to collect an image in all 169 towns and cities by April 4, 2014. To make things clearer, here's an example of our recent work. Today we picked up five more towns. We're almost half way to our goal.
If you like beautiful music you will enjoy this. http://youtu.be/H8ZIT38KYL0

–------------------------------------------

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato

Palin Smith

ps. Ray Hackett, a veteran reporter/op ed writer for the Norwich Bulletin admitted what we knew all along. The recent election results indicate that Democrats are in trouble in CT. If only the CT GOP doesn't screw up again!!

Guest Blog: Why I Don't Beg (Through I Probably Should) by Fred Carroll

Below is a guest blog from resident Fred Carroll. The essay reflects views and opinions not necessarily shared by the Insider staff, and is published as a courtesy to readers. "Dr." Fred Carroll has shared his thoughts with us many times before via guest blog- his last can be read here: 
http://www.middletowninsider.com/2013/06/guestblog-barefooted-begging-by-fred.html

ps : Thanks Dr. Fred we finally got your name spelled right

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why I Don't Beg {Though I Probably Should}.......I don't beg for two reasons, first, with my Middle Class Sensibilities, I've never been particularly comfortable asking for a whole lot of anything from anyone, never mind money from strangers, and second, I absolutely don't need to beg. That is, there's nothing which I need and couldn't have gotten for myself had it been sufficiently important to me. I might need this, that, or the other thing at any given moment, but again, whence from wouldst I presume to make that "your problem" by asking you for money? Money which, you of course need for your own action.......By The Way I have the very greatest contempt for Fake Indigents, those who garb up destitute to fool you out of some Pity Cash, and if I were King that would be a good profession to avoid......Continuing, I'm all about "context" in things, like "Why"? and "Why NOW"? and "Why HERE"?......so for me to feel straight with asking you for money as you go by I would have to intro it with "Hey, I'm lazy and or stupid and or self indulgent and I was just wondering if you'd maybe wanna take up some of the inevitable SLACK on all of that for me, maybe, eh?" And I'm not feelin' that......As for throwing a Hat On The Ground when I weed and sweep, well, that absolutely changes the dynamic from "Are WE in this thing together?" to "Nobody asked me to do this......but feel free to pay me, by all means!" which I'm not generally "feeling" either......Of course, I might pick up a Booze or other Hard Drug Habit tomorrow and all the fancy talk goes right out the window! But until that happens,.........." Hail thee well, fellow citizen!" And good luck paying all those Bills........

Sincerely, FRED "Misquote Me, But Spell My Name Right" CARROLL

Guestblog: Conservative Roundup by Palin Smith

 Below is a roundup of Conservative events being held this week. Complied and submitted by Palin Smith. Opinions are that of Palin Smith and do not necessarily reflect that of Insider Staff.   

GREETINGS PATRIOTS
Let us all give thanks for living in America. Let us resolve to do what we must to improve our nation and our state so our children and grandchildren inherit the rich legacy of what it means to be an American. This short video is not fancy but expresses a bit of the freedom we take for granted.
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=KcuDdPo0WZk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upcoming events of note:
This is the first chance the CCDL will have to brave defiance in the presence of Governor Malloy sinceApril 4. CCDL and Oath Keepers will be marching together. The following details were provided by CT Oath Keepers:
To All CT Oath Keepers:
We will be marching with our CCDL (CT Citizens Defense League) Brothers in Liberty in the Enfield Independence Day Parade on Saturday, July 6, 2013. The parade will step off at 11:00am- CCDL / Oath keepers are in Section (group) 2.

We will assemble and stage at 1318 Enfield St, across from the Enfield School between 9:30 am and 10:30 am. Be advised that the roads in the surrounding area of the parade will be closed to traffic by10:30 am. Leave extra time to find parking. There will be folks directing and informing the marchers exactly where to assemble. Please be advised that it may take some time to find parking in the area, so a word to the wise would be to ARRIVE EARLY.

Oath Keeper and CCDL garb is recommended. American flags and appropriately worded signs with positive messages are acceptable. Specifically, no disparaging messages will be allowed.This is a celebration of our independence from an earlier gang of tyrants. There are times and places for the other messages, just not Saturday.
This will also be a day to honor the 19 brave First Responder Oath Keepers who perished fighting that horrific fire in AZ."
There is no limit to the number of marchers allowed. If you’re in CCDL or an Oath Keeper, this is the one day you’ve been waiting for. I’ll be traveling the 60 miles up from Woodbury to chronicle the parade, with particular focus on CCDL and Oath Keepers. Enfield treats it’s guests like heroes. Carry on!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WATERTOWN ~ July 6
5th District Representative, Elizabeth Esty, has scheduled a “Congress on your corner” at the Adams grocery store in Watertown from 3-4:30 PM on Saturday. This is another rare opportunity to ask your congresswoman about issues of the day. And be sure to tell her your opinions on gun control, amnesty, jobs and Obama. This is not a meeting in an auditorium. This is where you can talk to her one on one, face to face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLINTON ~ JULY 7
Litigation Fundraiser Pig Roast
Ceniccola's Deli and Pizzeria in Clinton is hosting a Second Amendment Pig Roast July 7th 2013, fromNoon til 4pm, $20 per person (Kids under 12 eat free). All proceeds are being donated to the CCDL litigation fund. Bring your family friends and enjoy the day while supporting this cause.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEST HAVEN ~ JULY 10
Our grass roots restoration movement has recognized Jessica Chiong from West Haven as a top protagonist fighting against Common Core - Agenda 21 in Connecticut. Last week we supported Jessica at the West Haven City Council meeting.
http://youtu.be/GpojFB7mN2M
We’re asking you to support her again next week when she is introduced in the Republican slate of candidates running in November. Jessica is a candidate for West Haven Board of Education. After the brief ceremony, free food and a “happy hour” priced cash bar will be served nearby:
"Good Afternoon Fellow Republicans,
July is a busy month for us. We have 2 very important events coming up that I need everyone to attend. The first is the Mayoral Announcement which will take place on July 10, 6:30pm at the Grove over by the Lone Sailor Statue. We have invited both Bill Riccio from the Voice and Susan Misur from the Register. There will be a reception to follow over at Fresco's right after the announcement. There will be a taco bar with nachos and other goodies. The food is free and Fresco's will offer us Happy Hour prices for the drinks. Please try to make it I would love to see in print that we had over 50 people in attendance.
Bart Chadderton, candidate for mayor.

Is it just me, or is the connection between Muscular Dystrophy and Fire Fighting a little bit less than obvious?

Guestblog" Conservative Roundup: Palin Smith's Pick for GOP Chair

 Below is a roundup of Conservative events being held this week. Complied and submitted by Palin Smith. Opinions are that of Palin Smith and do not necessarily reflect that of Insider Staff.                                         
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 GREETINGS PATRIOTS

Next Tuesday, June 25, the 72 board of directors (State Central) of the CT Republican Party will vote to either retain the current mediocre party chairman or select a much better choice for the future. For us there is only one clear choice. That is Ron Wilcox. I could never improve on Bob MacGuffie’s words, so I forward Bob’s endorsement with my own second.
Connecticut Patriots:

Next Tuesday a vote will be taken to determine who will be the next Chairman of the CT Republican Party. We are trying to get a seasoned solid conservative elected to that post, which will represent a reinvigoration of the Party and a re-establishment of the Party on the conservative principles of limited government, individual liberty and free-market economics.

That candidate is Ron Wilcox of Newtown. Ron is a life-long CT resident and Republican who has promoted and fought for these principles all his adult life. He has demonstrated and proven his belief in our principles, and has the business experience and political savvy to lead the state party. Following is a link to a brief presentation of his ideas for the party which were delivered in Barkhamsted on Monday, June 17.
Connecticut Republican Party Chair Candidate: Ron Wilcox
Seventy two state central members, two from each of the state's 36 senatorial districts, are the electors who cast the ballots. A list of the state central members at this link
Choose the one from your town (or the nearest neighboring town) and click on the e-mail link and ask that member to cast their vote for Ron Wilcox. If you want the Republican Party to be led by a solid conservative, and again stand on principle, please send that e-mail.
Thanks so much.

In liberty,
Bob MacGuffie

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pomfret Center: Last Monday three of the four invited Republican legislators attended a town hall meeting hosted by local RTCs. For the 2nd time Senate Minority Leader, John McKinney was absent. Most of the public crowd had hoped to express their anger about the new gun law that Mr. McKinney had abetted in collaboration with the gun-grabbing Democrats and Governor Malloy.
One man in particular spoke eloquently to the issue. Doug Cutler of Putnam.

The 20-video play list of the meeting is here. Look for some entertaining clips early on:

Guestblog; Conservative Roundup by Palin Smith

Below is a roundup of Conservative events being held this week. Complied and submitted by Palin Smith. Opinions are that of Palin Smith and do not necessarily reflect that of Insider Staff. 
                                      GREETINGS PATRIOTS
 
The year, 2013, is nearly half over. The Connecticut state legislature imposed more burdens on the citizens - that‘s what it does. Many Republicans who are only disguised that way, voted with their comrades in the other party to further restrict our right to protect ourselves. At last, Connecticut’s lawmakers are through punishing our families and friends. The Long legislative session is over until next year. More and more I hear my friends talking about escaping Connecticut.
 
In Governor Dannel Malloy we see a rare politician. A man who obviously hates people. A man who would rather be running a gulag. And that’s exactly what Connecticut will become if he gets reelected in 2014. Don’t wait until next year to get involved. Now is the time! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in the heartland, rumblings have burst into shock waves as scandal after scandal erupts in Washington DC. The dangerous and corrupt Obama Regime has lost it’s celebrity luster as the loyal media elite discovered that they’re no better than the Tea Party, or at least perceived and treated that way by their demigod. http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/rasmussen-obama-democrats-scandals/2013/05/30/id/507178
 
The “old gray lady” herself, the New York Times, is taking potshots at the White House.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/opinion/president-obamas-dragnet.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1
 
Is there any doubt remaining that the IRS targeted the Tea Party?
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/06/07/irs-workers-say-supervisors-directed-targeting/
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
IRS lawyer who oversaw conservative targeting is retiring and his Facebook page has been removed
 
These criminals were caught red-handed.
But in the end if the Obama Regime self immolates because of it’s arrogant disregard for the Constitution, let the history books record that it was the Tea Party that lit the match!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
There is little to add about the 4th anniversary Cheshire Tea Party. This video says it all. Focusing on a Connecticut miscreant and on a tyrannical institution that must be abolished immediately. We should never again allow ourselves to be intimidated by the Internal Revenue Service. It’s now time to euthanize that corrupt despicable bureaucracy.
http://youtu.be/8nYP766UnEg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Every year is election year. The odd-numbered years are dedicated to municipal elections. Hundreds of candidates running for mayors, selectmen, city council, aldermen, boards and commissions have stepped up to do something more than complain. Perhaps the most critical elected position in Connecticut is that of a member of the Board of Education. BOE members many times decide on school curricula, who teaches your kids and grandchildren, how much they get paid AND where the bulk of your property taxes go.
 
Please take the time to talk to your BOE candidates. Ask them about the Common Core Curriculum, an insidious government program designed to track your kids like lab rats. Another goal of common Core is to shrink the margin between slow learners and bright students by lowering the learning standards. It leads to parents of the brighter students relocating their kids into private schools. It’s generally referred to as “bright flight”. It harms your public schools.
 
Common Core is part of the UN sponsored Agenda 21.
Opposition to the Common Core (already established in CT) is growing rapidly all over America. Monday night at the West Haven BOE meeting, Jessica Chiong, a parent and anti-Common Core activist gave her testimony.
http://youtu.be/Rvdni4gnZ9M
 
If you’re concerned about Common Core in your schools (you should be incensed) follow these links. Jessica is the administrator of the Facebook page, STOP COMMON CORE IN CT. https://www.facebook.com/StopCommonCoreinCT?ref=br_tf
 
And please send Jessica a small donation. She is taking her crusade for our children on the road. http://www.gofundme.com/36m94k
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
If you didn’t get a chance to see representatives of some of the Tea Party groups that were targeted for harassment by President Obama and the IRS, here’s an example. http://youtu.be/0N8TykuZvTY
 
And a freshman Rep. from Oklahoma had the gumption to tell it like it is in about one minute! http://youtu.be/CoR_WqikyxU
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
And a reminder about the special election on Tuesday, June 11 in Tolland, Willington and Ashford. A chance to take away a seat from the reckless Democrats in the state legislature:
Special Election CT House District 53 (Ashford, Tolland, Willington) June 11, 2013 Sam Belsito ( R) uncommon courageous voice for common sense.
When future generations ask, 'What were you doing when the tide turned in Connecticut?' At the very least....
If you are (or know of someone) in the 53rd district (Ashford, Tolland, Willington) you can say your VOTE helped to make the difference. Because, of course, you got to the poll and voted on June 11!
Whether you are in the 53rd district or not, you can say that you joined forces with those who made THOUSANDS of voter contacts! Contact Will Conway 203-767-4291 or Conway.will@ymail.com for voter contact opportunities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Be sure to mark down on your calendar for June 20 the one-man art show of patriot Marc Stolfi. Mark is a strong 2A supporter and tea party activist who has contributed his multiple talents time and time again for Connecticut’s Liberty movement. Follow this face book events page. See you there on the 20th. https://www.facebook.com/events/334461870014886/?ref=br_tf

Guestblog: Middletown Has The Greatest Bums In The World by Fred Carrol

Below is a guest blog from resident Fred Carrol. The essay reflects views and opinions not necessarily shared by the Insider staff, and is published as a courtesy to readers. "Dr." Fred Carrol has shared his thoughts with us many times before via guest blog- his last can be read here: http://www.middletowninsider.com/2013/04/guest-blog-fred-carrol-whats-plan-stan.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Middletown Has The Greatest Bums In The World.......that's the good news; the bad news is, that even "The greatest Bums who ever existed in the history of the world" are nonetheless a righteous drag, or perhaps more accurately and specifically , a"self righteous drag". And that, in a nuts-hell is the problem. These Bums "around here" don't seem to know that even a good "old style paradigm" Bum is useless and in the way....or, knowing, they don't really believe it. And neither do you really believe it either! You "non homeless" for the most part probably don't grasp the extent to which, without a dollar in your pocket you might as well just lay down and die, prompting from passers by the question "I wonder, should I step over or walk around?" Yup, without a Yankee Dollar in pocket you might as well just lay down on the ground and expire, the only question concomitant to your poorly placed departure being one of circumnavigation. I am of course perfectly serious about that.....have you not walked by a Homo Sapien lying, possibly dead, on the ground? I have....... Clearly, that "person" lying on the ground was not anybody important, or, if the were important, nobody walking by that day recognized that it was an important person lying there on the ground.....Which brings me to the point, that there is a very fundamental lie, or perhaps "hallucination" is the word, to the "way we do business" around here-key word "business". Every thing[and everyone] has been objectified, commodified, codified, and the bottom line is the bottom line. Yeah, you, me, or a Cow, we're food on someone's plate, sooner or later, in one way or another, end of story. If you'd like "some evidence" just try and deny the I.R.S. [a.k.a. the ATF of Waco Texas Fame....] their next meal of "the fruits of your labors" and see haw visceral it gets, see how real how fast it gets.
In conclusion, the Bums are Victims, Ladies and Gentlemen, even as we all are; we all have our predators and parasites who eventually lay us low, if not fully take us down. The "poor pathetic dopes" who can be seen, heard, and smelled standing, stumbling, leaning, and lurching about are simply Signed, sealed, and Delivered Losers who've gotten their bona fides, so to speak. So yeah, if "these dopes" could figure it out to find a less obnoxious way to Serve The System, or Serve Themselves To The System we'd all be a lot happier or at least less unhappy. And that's what I know about that.

Seriously, Fred Carroll

A Poem...

“First they came…” is a famous statement and provocative poem attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the sloth of German intellectuals following the Nazis' rise to power and the subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group.
I’ve employed artistic license with this famous poem making it more contemporary by applying recent developments in Connecticut and in America.
First they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic.
Then they came for the Tea Party Patriots,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Tea Party Patriot.
Then they came for the Gun Owners,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Gun Owner.
Then they came for Me,
and there was no one left to speak for Me.

Guest Blog: Greetings Patriots by Palin Smith Conservative Roundup

Below is a roundup of Conservative events being held this week. Complied and submitted by Palin Smith. Opinions are that of Palin Smith and do not necessarily reflect that of Insider Staff.  
GREETINGS PATRIOTS
The highly anticipated union protest against Wisconsin Governor, Republican Scott Walker, was even more entertaining than expected. On Monday, May 20, over 200 people representing various unions arrived at the vest pocket park adjacent to the entrance to First Stamford Place. Several very large inflated animal chariacatures were designated as Governor Walker’s escort committee by CT AFLCIO President, John Olsen. The plastic creatures actually more resembled Democrats than Republican symbols.
A counter rally supporting Walker fizzled. Only a handful of patriots made the effort to attend. It’s all captured in this you tube play list. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5wsVsNCEygoKfxhQ_WMzs240bxvzzhdI
The tiny counter rally debuted a “Win With Walker” yard sign, but it was the “John McKinneyMust Go” sign that made the biggest splash.
If you were not one of the approximately 700 establishment Republicans who paid $250 each to witness Sen. John McKinney receive the annual Prescott Bush award, but regretted missing Governor Walker’s speech, you are in for a treat. Thanks to William Landers of Ameriborn News, we can share Walker’s message of optimism.
Don’t miss the highlighted comments below the video.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In part of his speech, Governor Walker spoke about campaigning in Milwaukee neighborhoods where the people “had never seen a Republican before”. Walker is a rare Republican. He actually did what others only talk about.
In Connecticut there is a man very similar to Scott Walker. A Republican who goes where Republicans are an endangered species. His name is Wayne Winsley. If you take the time to read this weekly newsletter, you viewed an attachment a week ago showing Winsley’s “Brave Enough To Fail” presentation.
On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this week, Wayne Winsley spoke to the entire student population of Warren Harding High School in Bridgeport. A thousand of those students will be eligible to vote in 2014. All will have a chance to vote in 2016. Wayne Winsley’s message is positive and hopeful, the rarest seed in a Connecticut inner city. Watch Wayne in this three set video play list as he speaks to 850 teenagers on the first of two days.

Guestblog: Greetings Patriots A Conservative Round up from Palin Smith

Below is a roundup of Conservative events being held this week. Complied and submitted by Palin Smith. Opinions are that of Palin Smith and do not necessarily reflect that of Insider Staff. 
GREETINGS PATRIOTS

Last night at the brand new Greene-Hills School (K-8) in Bristol, a place that smells like a new car, a sparse crowd came out to hear Governor Malloy. Three patriots stood up to oppose bully Dannel. The link - a work in progress: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5wsVsNCEygq-65KwKyPidLWiVdRODtPb
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRESCOTT BUSH DINNER Monday May 20.
For months there has been much discussion all across Connecticut, within the ranks of gun enthusiasts, Tea Party patriots, other liberty groups and especially Republican town committees, about what to do, if anything, at the Prescott Bush Dinner next Monday in Stamford. The discussion ended abruptly by news yesterday that demands a determined response.
We have learned that at least eight bus-loads of union stooges will be dropped off at the Stamford Hilton to stage a Scott Walker protest rally. Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, was a target of a hateful recall election last year after his successful policies of making Wisconsin a “right to work” state and repealing collective bargaining brought on the wrath of the entire political left wing. Walker won a stunning victory after he brought together Republicans and Tea Party Patriots in a marvelous display of serious cooperation. We pray that Connecticut Republicans would follow Walker’s lead.
Wisconsin was once where Connecticut is now. Walker showed that strong conservative leadership can pay off. And that’s in stark contrast to what the Republican Party in Connecticut has become - little more than a franchise of the Democrat Party, at least among the leadership. Having Governor Walker visit Connecticut might be a first step in educating the CT GOP, if it listens.
So here’s what we have planned:
1. If you are a 2A activist or gun enthusiast and despise how the Republican leadership trampled on the Constitution April 4, 2013http://youtu.be/dhpdn2WHFvY this will be your opportunity to protest Sen.

OPINION PIECE October 3, 2012

GOOD, EVIL – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
As a young girl, I attended a Presbyterian Church. Our minister was quite clear in his belief that both good and evil exist in this world that God has made.  His duty, as he saw it, was to explain the differences to his congregation educate us in the ways of judging each and detail the good life that could be ours if we followed the rules laid out by the church, our parents and our teachers. He also cautioned us regarding the pitfalls and pain that could befall us if we strayed too far from “the path”. America accepted it.

In my early ‘20’s, America experienced the 1960’s in all their glory.  Many people were shocked at the rapid national acceptance of music glamorizing drugs and sex.  They were also confused as to the ramifications and unsure what to do to stop what they believed to be the erosion of morality.  However, it was not clearly defined so how could it be stopped?

Woodstock rocked the country and the senses, with thousands of our young people completely destroying a privately owned farm, trampling the fields and using the land as a bathroom. The rampant use of drugs and “free” sex along with the anti-establishment rhetoric reverberated through college campuses across America. Students were being convinced by their liberal professors to believe they were no longer students but elevated by passion to the position of teacher.  Armed “hippie” rebels who took over the campus at Cornell University were not arrested, but praised by its president. The message they spread was that everything about America was wrong and only the young could turn things around, aided by LSD to help them see reality clearly and guns to convince opponents of the justness of their cause, just what impressionable college age young people wanted to hear. They appointed  themselves therapists/pastors/saviors of us all.

America veered down a strange and unfamiliar path, twisting the reality we had always known out of shape until it was no longer discernible by most average Americans; all this to satisfy mob agendas that are accorded legitimacy even today. Hippies were portrayed as peace-loving, docile lovers of all mankind.  They claimed only to abolish all war, redistribute someone else’s wealth so that everyone had an equal amount of everything.  They insisted, because they truly believed, there would be no victims, no consequences, even unintended ones.  The problem was they were willing to destroy other people’s property in order to force their peace onto mankind.  Hence the guns. So much for promoting peace.  America accepted it.

This new (or not so new) philosophy pervaded the education system, the music and entertainment worlds, the clothing industry, the churches and even politics. We gradually saw an increase in the creation of feel-good agencies such the EPA that only wanted to save plants and animals, again with no negative impact on mankind.  We saw a rise in television shows portraying fathers as bumbling indecisive fools lucky the rest of the family lets them live there.  This was the new entertainment.

When President John Kennedy was assassinated, America grieved while in a state of shock.  How could this happen?  Where did we go wrong?  Rather than delve too deeply into what was happening to our culture, we settled for being told who fired the shot?  Lee Harvey Oswald – THERE’S the only culprit!  

The Viet Nam War raged on while we offered up our sons to be killed in a war our government had no intention of winning. On this issue I can agree with the “peaceniks”. It was still the age of believing what we saw on television, what we read in the newspapers and what our politicians told us was true.  America accepted it all while consuming large quantities of antacids.

Just when it appeared the sludge covering us by the shifting sands of reality born in the 1960’s was over, along came the 1970’s.  We had glittering discos, tight pants, short skirts and more sexual freedom than most of us could handle, thanks to “the pill” and the no-fault divorce.  The National Organization of Women came galloping over the hill burning their bras, demanding equal pay for equal work, a noble goal indeed.  It served to further convince women everywhere they had been mistreated and if they turned to the wisdom of NOW leaders, there was still time to redirect and improve their empty lives. NOW ignored the power they already had to begin a movement that needed no beginning.  Women have always had power.  They give life and are the heart of the home.  The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.  Did they not know that? Oh wait.  Maybe they did.

We were offered no fault divorce to justify breaking up families so that Mom could fulfill her dreams to “have it all”.   Unfortunately, this seldom worked as promised. With so many unhappy mothers, children were not thriving at home or at school.  Divorced women were overworked and stressed beyond their ability to cope.  Happiness, mysteriously, remained beyond their reach.  They did NOT have it all.  Frankly, they only had parts of most of it all.  National Organization of Women told them to work harder.  In other words, any failure was theirs not the theory NOW promoted. Women simply weren’t trying hard enough. America accepted it.

The eighties brought us Phil Donahue and Oprah Winfrey, explaining away all this unhappiness through guests whose dismal lives made us all feel better.  The more bizarre the human being, the more likely it was you would see him or her on Donahue.  The thrust of these shows was that if we were all more understanding, more caring, more sympathetic and willing to “get past this”, the closer we would all become. Just more.  It was an unspoken and undefined given that intolerance, bigotry or any other difference of opinion must be eliminated from our national conversation and replaced with acceptable words and phrases.  All we had to do was abandon independent thinking and reason.  Ah, the beginning of censorship.  Worse yet, the tipping point had been reached.  Feelings were now superior to principles.  Oprah declared it so and  it was good.  America accepted it.

“If it feels good do it” became the mantra.  “I’m OK You’re OK” was selling like hotcakes.  Now we were finding the right answers, guided by talk show hosts and thousands of counselors and therapists. Just embrace your feelings.  Forget about all that thinking stuff.  Besides, making a judgment would certainly be unfair to SOMEONE. Right?

Guest Blog: Greetings Patriots by Palin Smith Conservative Roundup

The following is my response to Google after they informed me the above post had been removed for violating "community standards".  More than nine years after it was originally posted on May 15th, 2013.

The only way to contact Google was to edit the post and submit it for review.  Google approved and re-published the following, which only goes to show that the "review" was conducted by an algorithm.

SMH

What on earth are you talking about? Specifically, how does this post violate any guidelines? 

I no longer have access to the post since it was unpublished. How could I possibly edit the post if I don't have access to it or know what part of it violated guidelines and how so?

This post is over nine years old. What prompted the review? How was it "flagged"?  Why, after nine years, is there suddenly a problem?

Your email mentions my "content has violated our Malware and Viruses policy".  The idea that malware or a virus was deliberately put in the blog post is absurd!  Specifically, what was the nature of the malware/virus and why did it take nine years for it to manifest?

Maybe there was a hacker. Maybe Blogger should transition blog addresses to an https prefix.

Below is Google's notice of cancelation (sic):
