A different kind of Miss New Hampshire.

The latest USS New Hampshire is one of the Navy’s new Virgina classsubmarines.  Check it out.  It was christened yesterday by Cheryl McGuinness of Portsmouth NH,  whose husband Thomas was a co-pilot of American airlines flight 11 when it was hijacked on September 11th and flown into the World Trade Center.

PCU New Hampshire (SSN-778), a Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submaine, is slated to be the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the state of New Hampshire. The name was awarded to the submarine after a letter-writing campaign by the third-graders from Garrison Elementary School in Dover, NH to their Congressmembers, the state Governor, and the Secretary of the Navy.

Green Jeanne Therapy

Jeanne Shaheen has quite a list of policy objectives on the Energy policy page of her web site.  It’s a virtual who’s-who of left wing thinking, the crux of which–after you filter out all the fluff–seems to be that if we take money away from people and companies that earn it in the free market, and give it to the government, the government will fix everything.  Oh, and nowhere does it say we should drill for oil.  No I was not surprised.

My favorite sentence so far is under the heading “END THE TAX BREAKS FOR THE BIG OIL AND GAS COMPANIES”

Every year, congress gives away approximately $13 Billion (in tax breaks) to the oil and gas industry.

 

So Jeanne Shaheen the tax machine seems to be telling us that because the Federal government has not taken someone else’s money from them, simply because they have the opportunity to do so, that this is equivalent to “giving it away.”    Giving it away to who Jeanne, the people who earned it?  

Were you giving away my property tax money all those years before introducing that statewide property tax in New Hampshire?  Wasn’t that my money Governor?  Didn’t I work for it? 

People who think this way are theives, and people who think this way(usually without thinking) are elitests.

So which are you?
