With all these so-called mandates and Government programs floating around, the latest including this approximate $700 billion stimulus package-the proverbial shite is hitting the fan with some states who are starting to balk over all these Governmental programs being forced down their throats.
One of these states is New Hampshire-which has started flexing its states rights in accordance to Jeffersonian Principals.
It’s weird, because every time I hear the phrase Jeffersonian Principles I think of none other than Fidel Castro-dictator of Cuba.
You see, back in the late 50′s when Batista was run out of office-and Fidel took over, he was not a Communist despite what some U.S. historians may lead you to believe-Fidel was a Jeffersonian-he actually traveled to D.C. to meet with President Eisenhower-who abruptly gave him the cold shoulder-so whom do you think Fidel turned to after that?
You guessed it–The Soviet Union-Nice One Eisenhower!!!
Well now back to the States Rights and Jeffersonian Principles. To break it down-the State of New Hampshire is practically telling the U.S. to shove it-that we (New Hampshire) are getting tired of your mandates and dictates.
YEAH, OK New Hampshire-well I am tired of your state talking out of two sides of your mouth.
“Oh we are for peoples rights, liberties, live free or die”
Sounds GREAT doesn’t it?? There is just ONE PROBLEM.
Don’t travel one mile OVER the speed limit in that state or your GOOSE IS COOKED!! I have already written about the TREK the state of New Hampshire Live Free or Die made my son go through for a speeding ticket!
He HAD three choices: pay the fine, take a defensive driving class ON A SUNDAY, or do community service. My son took the defensive driving course-completed it-got the certificate and mailed it into the court right?? WRONG!!
The state wouldn’t let my son mail in the course completion certificate. He had to go back to New Hampshire from Connecticut, a THREE HOUR DRIVE EACH WAY and hand it into the court IN PERSON!! Talk about a MANDATE!! GIVE IT UP!!
There was a man in his class FROM CALIFORNIA!! HE HAD TO RETURN TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TO HAND IN THE CERTIFICATE IN PERSON!!
Worrying about states rights New Hampshire?? How about a PERSONS RIGHT??
Well anyway, I STILL LOVE NEW HAMPSHIRE-I ALWAYS WILL. There is just something about crossing over the state line and seeing the sign “Welcome to New Hampshire” that really gets to me. It is SO BEAUTIFUL, it makes you forget about their anal motor vehicle regulations. And believe it or not, when they enforce the law in New Hampshire-they are FAIR and treat you with respect and dignity. Going to traffic court there, is ALMOST a pleasant experience believe it or not!!
I respect the State of New Hampshire for this and I obey their speed limit laws.

IN OTHER NEWS:
I did want to get back to the resident that approached me in Stop and Shop a few weeks ago concerned about the traffic signal on Marion and Waterbury Roads. This resident stated that when the roads became slippery, the resident had a hard time stopping at the traffic light. She said she would sometimes just slide through and wondered if the light could be put on flashing to avoid this problem.
I did relay this residents concern to the Cheshire Police Chief who responded in timely manner. The Chief told me the Police Department does indeed put the lights on Marion and Waterbury Roads on flashing when there is a snow storm and they have been doing this for many years.
Maybe the Police Department could get the State of Connecticut to put up a sign saying: “Caution: Slippery Conditions Ahead” and have the sign surrounded by those yellow flashing lights.
Now that I think of it, with these budget cutbacks, this might be too much to ask at this time, but it is worth a try.
I did want to pass along this article I received from a local resident. It talks about how Japan tried a stimulus package similar to what the U.S. is now doing.
I also wanted to relay a linki to a video which did appear on Youtube a while back. It is a Saturday Nigh Live skit that parodied the Bailout program. Apparently, SOMEONE got very upset and the video, which was seen only a few times on SNL and Youtube, suddenly”disappeared.”
Here is the link to this:
THE FORBIDDEN ” SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” SKIT
http://msunderestimated.com/SNLBailoutSkit.wmv
SNL did a ” Bailout” skit, which created some incredible problems for NBC because it exposed people in Congress who made FannieMae & FreddieMac their own personal piggy banks, then pointed their fingers at others. Now, NBC has tried to pull the video, almost successfully, because the video has all but disappeared from YouTube (Google-owned) off the internet. It was up on multiple sites and virtually all the copies are gone now. There are a few new “highly edited” copies on the net. How much power would you have to have to pull something from the entire internet?
This is the ONLY unedited copy still on the Net. Pass it on. Let the whole world see what’s happening in this country & who’s responsible for this financial crisis. If clowns & writers for SNL know what’s up, anybody is privvy to the information!
Finally, I received a VERY GRAINY video tape, (it looks as if it were taken with a cell phone) of what looks like an Officer on the CPD performing a motor vehicle stop. I really can’t make it out and even if I could I AM NOT STARTING THIS CRAP.
I DON’T FOLLOW PEOPLE AROUND-I DON’T SNEAK AROUND-I SAY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN!! I DON’T WANT TO BE FOLLOWED AROUND AND TAPED AND I AM SURE OUR OFFICERS DON’T WANT TO BE EITHER.
It is up to our Town Manager, and Town Council to keep this police in-car camera issue under scrutiny and under control and I FOR ONE WILL MAKE SURE THEY DO!!
Some people who are in authority, let it go to their heads. When you are a police officer-you are sworn to PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND SERVE THE PUBLIC. MOST OF THE OFFICERS DO. There are bad apples in every bunch-they need to be weeded out. I don’t personally believe in sitting around with a video camera waiting for something to happen. If something IS OCCURRING that is different-I WILL RUN THAT TAPE. But some blurry image of a police officer doing their job and being videotaped IS STALKING-I DON’T EXPECT THIS TO BE DONE TO MY SELF OR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND THE SAME GOES FOR THE LAW OFFICERS.
The police have very powerful duties and responsibilities-it is up to the powers that be AND CITIZENS to make sure they stay within their guidelines AND it is up to the individual officer to act responsibly and professionally. WHEN THEY DON’T IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
