Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
Joe Biden Hope N Change

Yep, Biden’s got a bit of baggage behind him…

He’s hoping that the third time’s the charm.  We actually interviewed him back in 2007 while he was at the Margate Hotel for a meeting when he was running back then.  Genial kind of fellow – didn’t quite know what to make of bloggers like us back then.  Wonder if he’d still be willing to … Read more

NH Bills that are going to receive vetoes from Gov. Sununu

There has been a lot of angst from you, GraniteGrok readers, that I have seen both here in comments here on the ‘Grok as well as on Facebook. Most of them surround “where is my State heading?  What is happening to the ‘Live Free or Die’ ethos we grew up with (or moved here for)?  … Read more

Hypocrite much? Fine for me but not for thee?

Socialism – where the powerful grow richer. And get “special” considerations. And want special privileges that they then wish to deny others access to.

The Chavez / Maduro regimes disarmed their population years ago.  The Progressive Democrats are trying to do so now … Read more

Notable Quote – Dan Moller

Just so, when it comes to political philosophy and what the state should be doing, the issue shouldn’t be our substantive concerns, but rather what kinds of things we should be using threats and violence to compel those around us to do. -Dan Moller (Governing Least) Unfortunately, Moller is right.  While it may sound to … Read more

Obey the Founders, Buy Guns and Ammunition!

The NH House Democrats have approved a whole raft of bills that incrementally remove our Second Amendment and Article 2-A Rights from our Constitutions.  They lie when they say “common sense” and “responsible” gun control is what they are doing.

Libertarianism is the widely reviled idea that we should use reason and persuasion to accomplish our distributive aims.

Libertarianism is the widely reviled idea that we should use reason and persuasion to accomplish our distributive aims. Only reason and persuasion. According to the libertarian, it is wrong to utilize threats of violence in the form of state-sponsored coercion, however sublimated by bureaucratic routine, in order to redistribute property that we have an antecedent claim to. … Read more
