Message in a Speaker

This coming Thursday, Republican state representatives will send a clear message about their intentions for the next two years when they choose their candidate for Speaker of the House.  That is because the two major candidates, Gene Chandler and William O’Brien, represent two starkly different forms of conservatism.

New Hampshire Democrats are living in a delusional world

The website Blue Hampshire is the Mecca for Democrats in New Hampshire.  Check it out, if you want to know just how hopelessly out-of-touch the party of John Lynch has become.

Freedom’s Last Shot

What kind of a “right” mandates that you exercise it?  For example, imagine a law that imposes a monetary fine on anyone who does not own a gun or who does not belong to a church.  Can you imagine the New York Times, or NBC, or any other component of the left-stream media describing such …

18 months could be 24 then 36 and then, who knows? Saving some REAL dollars…

The State is awash in red ink.  Everywhere you look there are new taxes and fees, while existing taxes and fees have been substantially increased.  And to top it all off, the Legislature just held a “tax summit” to talk about how to take even more of our money.  Yet no attempt is made to …

Supreme Politics

by Ed Mosca Byron “Whizzer” White was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Kennedy in 1962.  By current standards, he would be considered a far-right conservative.  He dissented in both Miranda and Roe, calling the latter “an exercise in raw judicial power,” while he authored the majority opinion in Bowers v.
