Notable Quote – Democrats Are A Spending And A Revenue Problem

February 15, 2013

“Ask a democrat and they will tell you “we have a revenue problem.”  But the only reason you could ever have a revenue problem is if you first have a spending problem.   But if you have elected Democrats, you will always have a spending problem.   And you will always have a spending problem because [ Read more ]

Whatsa matta John DiStaso, don’t like the ‘Grok much?

January 6, 2013

“As New Hampshirite Steve MacDonald notes, “this sounds like tyranny.” Given that Rush Limbaugh brought up NH Democrat House Rep Cynthia Chase’s name (AND STEVE MAC DONALDS!!) this past Friday, it was expected that the local NH media would be FORCED to also give a few column inches as well.  And DiStaso of the UL [ Read more ]

Notable Quotes: On Current NH-GOP Leadership

December 13, 2012

In my honest opinion the amalgam of  Establishment Republican Leadership in New Hampshire, which includes the shadow party “leadership” that makes the phone calls behind the scenes, decides whose turn it is, puts pressure on people to do their bidding or get out, and claims to control the money, are about as effective politically as [ Read more ]

Wither Thee A Thermostat – One Example of How Government Can Ruin Your Life

December 7, 2012

Here is a very good example of why the Government sucks, and why the very nature of the state as a reliever of ills is actually destructive to that very end..

I’m not done feeling lousy so I won’t be blogging much until I feel better–or at least a little better. I just wanted my liberal “friends” to know so they wouldn’t worry about me. They [ Read more ]

Ask A New Hampshire Democrat: About The Hostage Situation

October 3, 2012

There are those among us who are concerned that New Hampshire sends more federal tax dollars out of the state than it gets back.  The same people, typically Democrats and Moderate Republicans, argue for more Federal meddling in state affairs.  The same people who also complain about “out of state influence” in local elections.

Reality Check: NH Democrat’s Nancy Pelosi Values are not New Hampshire Values

October 2, 2012

Democrats have tried to lay claim to New Hampshire values but that’s not going to happen.  New Hampshire is about liberty, Live free or Die, local control, small government, and no broad based taxes, just like the TEA party.  Tea Party values are about defending the Constitution and rule of law, small and accountable government, [ Read more ]

Equality of Outcome is Irreconcilable with the Human Condition.

September 27, 2012

What Democrats suggest they want is not possible.  Equality of outcome is irreconcilable with the human condition.  As long as there is private property someone will always have something more or something  better than someone else.  People are and always will be and come from different circumstances, they will think and behave differently.  And all [ Read more ]

Ask A New Hampshire Democrat About Taxing The Rich

September 23, 2012

The distance between left wing rhetoric and reality is wide, particularly on the issue of taxing the rich.  This classic bit of class war rhetoric is used to deflect any deeper inspection of the problem, and the flaws in the Democrat’s solution.  And the flaws are huge.  Immense.  Enormous.  Disqualifying in fact.  So ask a [ Read more ]

My Guess Was Romney With Around 340 Electoral Votes

September 22, 2012

Two Professors from the University of Colorado have a model for determining who will win the White House.  They’ve been right every year since 1980.  In 2012 they predict that Mitt Romney will win 320 Electoral votes to Barack Obama’s 218.
