BLESS those Concord truth-tellers! Media stupidity/bias in NH on display!

New Hampshire Liberal Media Bias in Action (We conservatives and libertarians have long known that the “lamestream media” has a statist, leftward bent. Reasons? Collective “groupthink,” a need to please-and-entertain, government-dependent (and therefore Democrat-oriented) urban readerships, journalism schools peddling and enforcing statist propaganda…they all share blame for the lies. And it always seems to appear …

Misogyny by the Left – a lack of consistency shown by Obama and other Democrats

Obama (President), Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (Head of the DNC), and other Democrat luminaries all went after Rush Limbaugh’s remarks concerning Sandra Fluke.  Oh, the horribleness of it all!  Such uncivility of it all – how could he!  And then proceeded to paint ALL Republicans, implicitly or explictly, with the same paint brush.  Next step was the …

It’s Town election season here in NH – and teachers are being closely looked at: If Bedford teachers want to leave, let them go

From another email that was inbound was this Letter concerning teachers and taxes from a town other than mine.  From the folks that I hear from, whose jobs and companies have been affected by globalization in commodity products and services, there seems to be a growing resentment towards government workers who have absolutely no empathy …

Email Doodlings – Libertarians HAVE finally made a political impact – are they about to throw it away?

I’ve been in a writing funk for a while now – too many targets, no focus, trying to run for re-election in my town, a couple of other projects, and I find myself stretched too thin (yeah, self-induced again).  However, the following came over the gunwales a few minutes ago, and the fog (smog?) that …

Socialism’s Assault on Religion vs. Industry as Virtue

The Marxist/secularist assault on religion is well documented and continues today on many fronts.  But one of the reasons for attacking Religion in the first place, is that the foundations of the Puritan/Protestant faith–in America at least–never viewed material success as an obstacle to spiritual salvation.  In fact they encouraged it.

First Amendment Rights – one NH Senator gets it Right, the other does not. Guess which one?

Well, at least ONE of our Senators is getting it right on this whole Obama HHS breaching of our First Amendment Right – shhhh, it’s not Senator Jeanne Shaheen that gets the Blunt Amendment right (emphasis mine): Unfortunately many have tried to characterize this amendment as denying women access to contraception. That’s a red herring, …

Data Point – Obama’s Centralized Planning’s Unemployment Rate

Boy, it will be amusing to hold President Obama to his own promises – especially the one that if Congress passed his $787 Billion Stimulus bill (aka “Porkulus”), unemployment would never rise above the curve that his economic advisor, Christina Roemer, promised: #FAIL. I liked what Don Surber wrote: It’s the chart that makes liberals …
