SB 0120 – Bride of HB 1704 (2012) Political Speech For The Privelaged Few Makes A Come-Back

February 4, 2013

SB 0120, sponsored by three New Hampshire Senate Republicans, a House Republican and a House Democrat, is nothing more than the free speech killing bride of the amendment to HB1704 proposed last year.

Will Video Almost No One Has Seen (About Mohammad?) Be Used to Control Internet?

September 14, 2012

Attacks on 9/11 we knew were coming, a video no one (inflamed) has or will ever see that inflaming Islamists, dead Americans on foreign soil, and repeated claims that in America, the government can’t control everything that goes up on the internet… Sounds like an excuse for Democrats to argue that the US government Should.

New Hampshire Democrats have no problem silencing speech they object to or that contradicts their agenda so it will be interesting to get their take on this.  As de-facto supporters and defenders of Obama and the presidents re-election campaign, someone should ask them to explain why that campaign stopped a reporter from interviewing supporters, waiting [ Read more ]

You’re Just Not Smart Enough For Free Speech

July 2, 2012

All things being equal, the only reason Democrats might have to complain about the affect of FEC vs. Citizens United on paid political speech is if it somehow removed some pre-existing advantage they had.  Why else cause such a fuss?  The left clearly has just as much right to take advantage of the current state [ Read more ]
