Democrat Maxine Waters (D- Doh!), relieved that she is not in prison for all the corruption she has engaged in while elected to the US House of representatives, is making up for that by just being herself. “We don’t need to be having something like sequestration that’s going to [ Read more ]

Jobs Vs. Food Stamps Obama Economy Throw-Down

August 24, 2012

I think I have finally figured it out.  All this emphasis by Democrats on abortion?  I think we’re in for a tectonic shift in left wing economic policy.  Starting with the upcoming Democrat National Convention, the new savior for a lagging economy with 16 trillion in debt, employment erosion, a flagging GDP, and more government [ Read more ]

The Free State Project says “Thank you, President Obama!”

July 18, 2012

Why? Because his policies are driving small businesses to New Hampshire. Why? Because Democrat (and RINO Republican) policies harm business and job-creation. It’s a simple as that. As a result, entrepreneurs and business-owners are considering moving to our state because our policies are increasingly free market oriented (and thus actually work).

I Could Hardly Be Happier…

June 28, 2012

There were only two outcomes from the Supreme Court that would be useful on the Patiend Affordable Care Act.  Complete repeal, or sustaining ObamaCare essentially unchanged.  The Supreme Court chose the latter, more or less.  And this is fine by me. America hates this bill.  A majority of states hate it.  Independents hate it.  But [ Read more ]

The View From Underwater…or…About Those Obama Job Creation Numbers…

June 12, 2012

The economy needs to create at least 150,000 new jobs every month just to keep the ship from sinking any further (and the ship is already in pretty deep).  That 150,000 keeps us where we are, wherever that may be.  With the lowest labor participation rate in decades here is not so great. But Democrats [ Read more ]

Be Pro-Choice: Vote For The Right To Abort The Union.

November 29, 2011

If unions were abortions everyone would have the right to chose not to be party to it. Some liberal justice would have long ago ensconced that “right” into the US Constitution. And we would not be having this debate in New Hampshire. Workers could decide if they wanted to abort the union. But Democrats are hypocrites and choice shall not be permitted in the workplace. You will not, cannot be permitted to choose for yourself.
