Mr. Brunelle of the NHDP joins common cause with the former NH GOP Chair in coming after Conservatives

OK, I was waiting for this – Mr. Brunelle from the New Hampshire Democrat Party did the obvious thing and decided to piggyback on Fergus’ screed.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to include much in the way of new vocabulary words – true to form, the words angry, radical, extremist, intimidation make up most of his …

Motor City Mad Man Ted Nugent – “gentle” on his view of the second Amendment

Free men – the right to defend themselves is a moral question. " A gaggle of numbnets who would try to  tell me they will dictate where, how, and if I can defend myself" "Am I weird?" No, Ted, you’re not.  We as a society are socializing the bad decisions made by evil people and …

NHPoliticalReport – the curtain closes, the door swings shut

At least, for those that aren’t willing to ante up.   When James Pindell first opened up NHPoliticalReport, he made it quite clear that it would be a "pay to play" site after an introductory time period.  I traded emails with him asking about the economics of that, wondering if there would that many political …

Who is “We”?

This is going around the ‘Net via email and there is a message here for those that believe in the separation of God and State (based on an unofficial letter to two Baptists – NOT as official government edicts).     President Barack Obama said in Turkey : "We do not consider ourselves a Christian …
