So there was President Obama, giving his bazillionth speech on health care, droning yet again that “now is the hour when we must seize the moment,” the same moment he’s been seizing every day of the week for the past year, only this time his genius photo-op guys thought it would look good to have him surrounded by men in white coats.

Why is he doing this? Why let “health” “care” “reform” stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest?

Because it’s worth it. Big time. I’ve been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. In most of the rest of the Western world, there are still nominally “conservative” parties, and they even win elections occasionally, but not to any great effect (Let’s not forget that Jacques Chirac was, in French terms, a “conservative”).

The result is a kind of two-party one-party state: Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.

NH GOP DEMANDS HOUSE DEMS CALL FOR ETHICS INVESTIGATION OF EATON

Dem House Majority Floor Leader’s Intrusion Into Liquor Commission Probe Raises Serious Ethical Questions

CONCORD – The New Hampshire Republican State Committee called on House Speaker Terie Norelli to ask the Legislative Ethics Committee to investigate whether Representative Daniel Eaton (D-Stoddard) violated ethics guidelines when he allegedly interfered with a State Liquor Commission investigation. The NHGOP also demanded that Speaker Norelli immediately remove Representative Eaton from his House Leadership position pending the outcome of an ongoing criminal investigation into the same incident being conducted by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office.

“The allegations made against Representative Eaton are serious and raise concerns that he may have abused his office by trying to influence a State Liquor Commission investigation on behalf of a political ally. Representative Eaton’s actions have called into question the ethical standards of the House Democrat Leadership and impaired his ability to successfully discharge his duties as House Majority Floor Leader,” said NHGOP Communications Director Ryan Williams. “In order to preserve the integrity of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Speaker Norelli must remove Representative Eaton from his leadership position and immediately call for an ethics investigation into his dubious actions.”

According to a report in the Union Leader (3/6), New Hampshire State Liquor Commission Enforcement Director Eddie Edwards claims that Representative Eaton tried to “stymie” an investigation of a Keene tavern owned by one of his political allies. Jerry Flynn, Executive Director of the New England Benevolent Association backed up Mr. Edwards’ accusations, claiming that Mr. Eaton “harassed” two state liquor inspectors that went to the bar and “made it very well know that he was a high-ranking public elected official.”

The Nashua Telegraph (3/5) also confirms that Representative Eaton intruded into the Liquor Commission probe when he participated in a clandestine meeting with the tavern owner and Commission Chairman Mark Bodi.

According to Legislative ethics guidelines, New Hampshire legislators are prohibited from “threaten[ing] reprisals or promis[ing] inducements of any kind to influence another so as to obtain special personal benefits for the legislator, the legislator’s immediate family, or for certain constituents which would not be available to others under similar conditions.” They are also barred from “conduct[ing] private negotiations with any governmental agency in an attempt to obtain a decision on a pending matter which would result in special personal benefit to the legislator, to the legislator’s immediate family, or to certain constituents which would not be available to others under similar conditions.”

Representative Eaton’s alleged “harassment” of Liquor Commission inspectors and his secret meeting with Commissioner Bodi during his department’s investigation raises serious questions about whether he violated these ethical guidelines.
