Steve MacDonald There is a very healthy and necessary discussion taking place on Facebook over why Marilinda Garcia may not be a Libertarian-enough congressional candidate for some of the Libertarian’s in New Hampshire. They are concerned about her positions as a state rep on Gay Marriage, marijuana, abortion, junk like that. But it never occurred to anyone (that I saw–and apologies if I missed it) to ask the question that answers all those questions.
So I pointed that out for them.
Kudos to NH Journal for grabbing some tweets from the ever-unstable NH Democrat House Rep Peter Sullivan.
The moment Marilinda Garcia announced her candidacy must have been timed perfectly with his PMS meds running out. Why else would a rank member of the party of civility, a defender of the Democrat division of people by race, sex, and everything else, and a progressive on the front line in the left’s made-up war on women, tweet out a series of attacks on a woman with the last name of Garcia?
Wait. Maybe he’s just a raging tin-foil-hat hypocrite?
If You Like Your Plan You Can Keep It: The Rap (w/ Remy)
We received the letter in the mail a couple months ago. The good people at Regence Bluecross Blueshield were pleased to inform us that due to Obamacare our current low-monthly premium, comically-high deductible medical policy would no longer exist come January 1, 2014. Pleased, because a new and better plan would be offered in its place. Old monthly premium: $578 for a family of four (non-smoking, helmet-wearing, and paternally snipped). New premium: $1,123. A 94% increase.
Inalienable rights require no reference to gender, age, religion, race, none of that. We have long passed the point in our society where invoking these things for any kind of leverage is anything more than the work of Rake’s, Mountebanks, and Charlatans.
Opportunity in modern America also exists for anyone willing to seek it out. It exists to a degree now that the number one barrier to opportunity is no longer race, gender, age, or religion, it is government meddling.
And “success,” the place opportunity leaves open to all of us, could care less where you came from or what you look like. You could be any size, shape, color, be from anywhere, and as long as you are willing to seek opportunity and pick yourself back up when you invariably fail (again and again before you find it), success will wait for you.
So if none of that matters is there one common denominator when it comes to success? Yes there is.

Manchester , Ward 9 is in the news again! Due to some shoddy reporting by the dead tree media, so far…we don’t know much about Lorin C. Schneider Jr. of Massachusetts, voting in Ward 9 in Manchester back in November 2012, but we do know this. Ward 9 Moderator Gloria Pilotte has a sharp eye. … Read more
A letter was sent to a New Hampshire House Reps last week to “encourage” them to vote for Medicaid Expansion. I made mention of it earlier in the week in a post with some commentary on the letter, from Bill O’Brien, but I wanted to point out one part of it in particular.
“More importantly, vote this down and I’ll make your life a living Hell.”
That is a direct quote from the letter filled top to bottom with left wing talking points (see also, lies and distortions) on this specific legislation and New Hampshire Medicaid expansion. It was either written for or provided by someone in Democrat Party leadership to intimidate representatives into voting the way Democrats wanted…or else.
I guess we could call it, “Bringing civility back to Concord, or else !”
This just popped up in my in-box… Attorney General Joseph A. Foster announces that Lorin C. Schneider, Jr., of Carver, Massachusetts has been indicted by the Hillsborough County, Northern District, Grand Jury for wrongful voting in violation of RSA 659:34, I (e). The State alleges that on November 6, 2012, during the Presidential Election, Schneider … Read more
…The further the fall. And, “used to walk on water?” Maybe in your office. No. He never could ‘walk on water.’ He never accomplished anything. In fact he manged to diminish the accomplishment of getting elected president. To diminish the office, and nation along with it.
I’ve been trying not to post these but this one….I had to do it.
From ‘The College Fix” Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist? That’s right. Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread.

Democrats can stop bitching about how TEA Party people and the grassroots don’t want to raise taxes. I’ve got a tax we not only need, but that we should peg at 40% to start. Unions. Unions are full of rich fat cats and that’s becasue they are all rolling in dough. As a faction they … Read more

WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest news organizations lodged a complaint Thursday against the White House for imposing unprecedented limitations on photojournalists covering President Barack Obama, which they say have harmed the public’s ability to monitor its own government.
…
“Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the president while he is performing his official duties,” according to a letter the organizations sent to the White House. “As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist’s camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government.”
What, are they cutting into your already dwindling Pro-Obama messaging market share?
Democrats will insist that changing the filibuster rules in the US Senate was to stop obstruction. Not so. Not even close. This has nothing to do with holding up nominations to sit empty court rooms with missing judges. There are always scores of those waiting to be addressed under every president. This is about Reid … Read more
From Victor Davis Hanson The newly canceled health plans are suddenly rebranded by the administration as “subpar.” Only in autumn 2013 is the supposedly unaware public told that, years ago, “bad apple” insurance companies sold them “substandard” plans. According to Obama, millions of Americans were once ignorant or uninformed, and thus will soon be pleased … Read more
