Moms Demand Action – making women more helpless, nationwide (the Panera Bread edition)

From a post I did back in 2010: “How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual… as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of.” – Suzanna Gratia-Hupp …

Ohio State – You Must First Agree on “Why You Want to Have Sex” – a quick thought

Steve’s post is spot on – the philosophy and demanded results that he outlined, in and of themselves, have their own outcomes.  “They have brought this upon themselves” – but can Progressives understand that messing with human nature is a fool’s errand?  Do they realize that NO number of “external iron bars” can ever replace …

If “TEA Party”, “Right Wing”, and “Extremists” didn’t exists as words, the NH Democrat Party would be speechless

Oh yeah, let’s also add “Free Stater” to that list, too!  Take those words out of their lexicon, all you’d have left would be jaws going up and down.  Without those adjectives (hurled as epithats), they’d have nothing to say and no one to excoriate.  And that would suck for them.  Listen to Ray Buckley, …

Data Point – what about workplace death inequality?

(H/T: AEIdeas) “Every year the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) publicizes its “Equal Pay Day” to bring public attention to the gender pay gap. “Equal Pay Day” this year fell on April 14, and allegedly represents how far into 2014 the average woman had to continue working to earn the same income that the average man …

Ohio State – You Must First Agree on “Why You Want to Have Sex”

You’ve probably heard the phrase “so stupid only an intellectual could think of it”? Here you go.” At Ohio State University, to avoid being guilty of “sexual assault” or “sexual violence,” you and your partner now apparently have to agree on the reason WHY you are making out or having sex.  It’s not enough to …

Are Illegals Bringing Tuberculosis to Your School?

Maybe.  Check out what happened in Lynn MA.  (Maybe, it’s just a coincidence?)  Wonder if it could happen here?  Well, maybe if Shaheen, Shea-Porter, and Kuster support Obama’s amnesty plan.  You should ask them where they stand on it, so what I point out below, doesn’t happen in New Hampshire. (All emphasis mine,throughout.) July,  14 …

The CD-2 Town Hall Challenge

Having just won her primary a few days ago Marilinda Garcia has already done something no Democrat woman elected to Federal office from New Hampshire have done, at least in recent memory.  She is holding a…..(dramatic crescendo!)  Town hall meeting. Her opponent Ann ‘Where is Benghazi?’ Kuster, is invited to take questions along-side Garcia, but …

Rand Paul at Generation Opportunity / NH: First Executive Order? Revoke the previous 8 years worth

Well, that would be a good start.  In fact, it shouldn’t even be controversial – this should be a given for pretty much the Republican President next elected in 2016 given how much Obama has pushed the boundaries of Executive Imperialship (putting both Bush II and Nixon to shame).  Roll it back should be heard …

MSM Journalism – on the Left, always advocating for the Left & Big Govt

I have been commenting about this kind of stuff for years now: journalists that aren’t.  Members of the MainStream Media (MSM) that have “progressed” past the traditional “who, what, when, why, and how”, past the “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted” to “make the world a better place”. The first is reporting the news …
