The Paleo Party

The thing the Democrat Party wants the most is to convince us that it is in our best interest, regardless of the interest, to let the government manage as much of our community and our lives as possible.  Cost is, of course, no object (because it is not their money).  But this is the oldest …

Joe ‘Bear’den. “If it only saves One (Bears) Life…”

Progressives of all party stripes love to tell us from one side of their mouths that government needs to do these things for the good of the people while from the other side insisting that their detractors are insane fear-mongers for thinking it (whatever the thing we need to do is) will ever escalate to the absurdities opponents claim. …

Is Senator Shaheen Your Senator…or Just the Democrat Party Senator?

New Hampshire US Senator Jeanne Shaheen is not here to talk to any little people that are not her little people.   When asked a question about more spending stimulus, as recommended by President Obama, that would be more debt spending at the expense of our children and their children, she couldn’t even be bothered to respond. I guess she’s …

Come On Eileen

By itself, this video might seem strange and a bit out of place here, but be patient.  It is relevant, topical, and pretty damn funny once it has been put into proper context.  I’ll leave the latter to the next blogger willing to take up the story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rVxcwe7EcaY

Take It Back or Burn It Down?

The current New Hampshire Republican Party has devolved away from being any kind of bulwark against creeping progressivism and the ardent promotion of candidates who will man the bulwark or (God help us) take us into battle, to little more than an exclusive group for hand-picked political insiders, partying away in the captain’s quarters of …
