“In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”- Martin Luther King, Jr. We are continually betrayed by the Republicans we elect.

Ed I want you to answer this question, which I’ve asked you many times:
What the hell do you want the voters to do out here?
I don’t know one regular reader here that doesn’t get what the Uniparty is all about.
We’re all dedicated voters and workerbees.. we go into the polls and pick from what is usually a list of crappy Republicans. What else can we do?
Most of us knew Chris Ager would be a deadbeat water carrier- just as he’s been.
We did what we could and no one listened- as usual. They installed their puppet, just as we knew they would.
He’s delivered us nothing but more puppets to pick from, just as we knew he’d do.
Do you want us to waste a vote going third party and grow the nutcases from that group?
Do you want us to waste a vote writing in a candidate?
Are we supposed to accept that we’re bitter clingers and just give up? or move to Florida?
I mean what choices are there really?
You of all people know how corrupt the state is and that a whole lot of our real power to change all this has been stripped from us- but yet this audience keeps on soldiering onward.
This audience here are not the Bitter Clingers.. that is the WMUR crowd.
Ed you need to spend your time directing people instead of beating them over the head with names.
We need to root the corruption out of NH, give us a plan to do this.
I think we’ve got an organizational issue on the right in NH.
The RINOs need to be identified- loudly, and gone- replaced by MAGA supporters.
Because, given that Trump won here AGAIN, that is clearly who the majority of the actual voters on the right want and support.
But yet Concord is packed with clowns.

Article 7 of the Vermont Constitution is the fly in the ointment. Why it hasn’t been challenged in Federal Court is a curiosity. But clearly, Article 7, in the Vermont Constitution, usurps the rights of individuals enumerated in the U. S. Constitution.
Nowhere in our founding document is a State authorized to mandate “… that the community hath an indubitable, unalienable, and indefeasible right, to reform or alter government, in such manner as shall be, by that community, judged most conducive to the public weal.”
The 5th Amendment states that:
“No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution specifically states that:
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
On the other hand, Benjamin Franklin warned of the impending lawlessness of ‘the People’ (i.e., the ‘community’) when he opined that:
“… this Constitution, with all its Faults, if they are such… is likely to be well administred for a Course of Years and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”
Yes, “Vermonters, you are being governed by law-breaking ideologues.”
Unfortunately, “… world depression and local food shortages” are the least of our worries.

Is this an SNL skit or a Babylon Bee post?
“This mistake involved a spring concert where someone approved the theme “From the River to the Sea.” You were quoted in the Seacoast Online article saying it “was mistakenly chosen as the theme for Hampton Academy’s upcoming spring concert.””
For sure someone should submit it to Not the Bee.

If I might, I’d like to dig a level (or two) deeper on why these two seemingly-opposed ideologies are attracted to each other.
BOTH Islam and Communism…
* Ruthless authoritarian systems
* Value the Collective over the Individual
* Have America as target #1
* Have any competing religion – for as I’ve been saying for years, Communism is a religion – as enemies
Now, what will be entertaining to watch is what happens if they succeed in bringing down America (and more broadly, the West)? Just how quickly will they turn on the other? And in a battle between atheistic Communism (not placing any value on human life) and religious-jihad Islam (ditto), with no more moral limits on WMD use, who would win?
Two great books on this:

We have been seeing all these kinds of fluff headlines for the last seven years. Remember that giant red wave, that was actually a dried up puddle in the desert? If things were sane and normal, these headlines would all be true, but the entire world is now run by insane criminals. The stories always end the way they want them to, reality and facts be damned. Don’t get to excited. If by some miracle this doesn’t take Trump out of play, they absolutely will JFK him. The only way this does not happen, is if Trump has been part of their team all along. Sometimes I wonder, especially with the crazy decisions Trump makes at times. Yes I am voting for Trump, but the man’s decision making process, stumps the hell out me more than I like to admit. Mike Johnson being the most recent. And Kevin McCarthy just prior to that. Trump also still thinks the poison shots, were manna from heaven.

The problem with libertarianism is that it ignores the tendencies of human nature and essential science. We as a society will always be as bad as we can get away with, particularly if our culture does not value those virtues that are necessary to a functional society.
They are “for” liberty, but ignore that mankind as a whole tends to be “for” slavery–to himself and to others. And half of them would find themselves in chains to others just as soon as they got the “liberty” they seem to want, begging for shackles because they are NOT fit for liberty and someone said there was garlic and free housing in Egypt.
The real problem of society is not “you’re not the boss of me”; the real problem is “at what point is bossing warranted?” Because eventually, everything we do and are is connected to others, and stopping someone dragging others down around them is a greater aid to general liberty than simply pronouncing the Satanic mantra, “‘Do what thou wilt’ shall be the whole of the law” and then washing your hands of your neighbors.
This poll will run until 8 pm tomorrow evening.
