Introducing RU-IR8, the new electoral abortifacient specifically designed to provide political relief for voters exposed to left-wing rhetoric without proper protection.

Assured Mutual Transportation Tax Destruction?
NH State transportation commissar George Campbell says he does not trust the state of Massachusetts when it says it has no plans for tolls on the state border. Campbell is a supporter of tolls on our side.
Less Than Useless
Remember how Shaheen didn’t have the sense to use her own parties partisan influence buying combine to turn her rubber-stamp vote for Trotsky care into a complete 12 lane rebuild of I-93 from Salem all the way to Hudson bay? Well there is subterfuge afoot again in the White House and as usual New Hampshire’s left wing wall flowers either can’t get into the dance, or don’t have their figurative political bra stuffed enough to attract the eye of the people with any real influence.
Of course, knowing Shaheen, if it had occurred to her she’d have used her vote to form a blue-ribbon committee, to promote a wind farm contract, to create or save jobs for her lawyer buddies who would rake in millions from taxpayers and government funded Green groups fighting both sides of an environmental impact lawsuits for twelve years; well past her impending single term as a US senator from New Hampshire. But at least her, Billy, and former congressman Paul Hodes would have work when they got out so maybe she’s not stupid, she’s just selfish.
Anyway, I bring it up because Red State reports that…
Last week, Democratic Senate Candidate Joe Sestak, a retired Admiral, let slip in an interview that someone in the White House offered him a position in the Administration if he would drop his primary challenge of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania.
This is of course illegal. Federal law prohibits anyone from offering, soliciting, or receiving any federal office in exchange for a political favor, and it looks like the White House tried to get Sestak to drop his challenge of Arlen Specter. Don’t be surprised if you can’t hear any sirens wailing.

Bass Ackwards
Mr. Bass, now candidate Bass, has more to answer for than his Blue Dog Republican record. He needs to explain why his species of Bass only swims upstream when irresistible political opportunities present themselves.

The Real “Third Rail” For Commuter Rail
Any good liberal will tell you this. Never talk about how much something costs or who will have to pay for it until you have convinced them it will be good for them.
Who Do You Trust?
CACR 26 would have allowed you to vote on whether to amend the NH Constitution. The change would have prohibited the legislature from passing laws to creat broadbased sales or income taxes, or taxes on capital gains. The bill came out of committee as inexpedient to legislate, and the House voted to ITL it by … Read more

“the Party of No.”
RINO’s and other go-along, get-along Republicans have traditionally been terrified of being labeled "the Party of No." It’s time for that BS to end. It’s been part of a long-running effort by the Democrats to Mau-Mau the GOP. This is the old, tired script Buckley [NH Democrat Party Chair] is trying to make fly…one…last…time. In … Read more

Thoughts about Fred and about some other Republicans
I also am thankful for Fred Tausch holding the event and bringing in the wonderful Andrew Breitbart, and helping out other GOP candidates…to the extent that the other candidates are real Republicans, and not RINO’s. One cautionary note, however: The reason some are indicating hesitation about Tausch has not been clearly explained. It is not … Read more
Breaking News: Forbes endorses Lamontagne for US Senate
In a statement released today by the Ovide for Senate 2010 campaign Steve Forbes has formally endorsed Ovide Lamontagne for the US Senate.
Free speech – Fine for me but not for thee?
One of the questions that inevitably occurs to any politically aware defender of liberty is this: Will the time ever arrive when active resistance is required? Will the political class eventually gain enough control over government that it will step over that invisible line for millions of Americans? It is a thought that comes in … Read more

“Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence”
From the same mold?
Guest Post by Dr. Emanuel Tanay, MD
A German’s View on Islam
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. ‘Very few people were true Nazis,’ he said, ‘but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.’
We are told again and again by ‘experts’ and ‘talking heads’ that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the ‘silent majority,’ is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japanmurdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:
