The Tea Party Targets… Sustainable Development?

Yer darned tootin’!

It’s town meeting time again in NH, and people are preparing petitioned warrant articles and mailers. You may not have been elected to the NH House of Representatives or NH Senate, but you can go to your own town meeting and represent your own best interests by voting NO on anything you don’t wish to spend money on at this time.

Zoning amendments are a target whether you think the insidious unelected stealth bureaucracies mentioned in this article from Mother Jones have had influence on your town or not. But no matter, if it drives you to “delve into the minutiae of local governance”, as the article says, we think that’s a good thing.

““None of us had ever heard of it,” Benjamin says, laughing, “but we learned a lot about Agenda 21. They had handouts.” The tea partiers also posed questions about “human habitation zones,” she says, noting that they were polite and interested in what the committee members had to say.”

They always say they never heard of it while at the same time, serving the agenda. We think that’s called a ‘useful idiot’.

““People know that living in a suburban development and driving to work is not an inherently bad thing. Living in a tiny cramped apartment surrounded by noises, so you can hop a bus is not intrinsically superior.””

Further, they note “When the tea partiers bring that perspective to local government, they have the potential to make a significant impact—far more than they might have on, say, a congressional health care bill where high-paid lobbyists dominate. It’s clear that they are starting to realize that, too.”

Bravo to the awakened!
