School choice poses no threat to great or good public schools

SchoolhouseTo The Daily Sun,

Reviewing his 1/9/18 column, one has to wonder if E. Scott Cracraft intentionally tries to mislead readers, if he just doesn’t care about children getting a decent start in life, if he’s blind to public education’s failures, or if he is afraid that children, educated outside of public schools, might learn to think for themselves and reject his progressive beliefs … or all of the above.

Cracraft suggests that the public hasn’t adequately supported public education, but that’s false! Public education costs have skyrocketed. Citizens have responded to public education demands for decades: more money, more teachers, computers, smaller class sizes, etc. Nevertheless public education fails to deliver decent educational opportunities to many students.

Such an angry “Inclusive” bigoted person

“Inclusive” – that’s the word that is tossed around by the Left to describe the world as they want it to be.  Kumbyra and all that – a glorious Utopian place to be.  There’s a hitch in all that and Jennifer Abbott shows the true face of the Left – and why their usage of “inclusive” really means “as long you you submit to our philosophy” (sorta like with militant politico-Islam, which means “submission”). Feeling “the love” – just read her own words and guess what is dripping from them.  I love the predictions as well…

BY 2020 ANGRY MEN WILL BE DINOSAURS, WOMEN AND MINORITIES WILL RULE

To The Daily Sun,

Yawwwwnn……

I am tired of the Trump rants, you’re not convincing anyone that this fraud should be president. Bashing liberals and Democrats? Really, boys, it’s pathetic — what exactly has chump done for us? Nothing. You wanted to drain the swamp? You stocked the swamp, you elected a TV personality slash supposedly successful business man, who refuses to show his taxes. Why is he dismantling everything that keeps us safe from greedy corporations? A man who bragged about assaulting women — a coward, who thinks he’s a hero.

Tales from the BudComm – differing standards

Well, the last night of the Budget Season was last Thursday nite. A long nite – from 6:30pm and I didn’t get home until after midnight.  Did we get all of the surface analysis done and talked to all of the right people at mostly the right time?  Yes, the BudComm did.  Sadly, do I … Read more

Anti-Fascist Antifa Can’t Define Fascism

antifa_dumbI forgot about these morons while on hiatus bathing in the warmth and the sun with good company and cocktails. But now that I’m back and settling into the groove, I’m reminded that we’re surrounded by misguided, ignorant hyperventilating morons.

Check out this video and remember the dumb in the country and hope that you don’t have the misfortune of actually meeting any of them. These people have no shame and no self-respect. They’re hanging a sign on themselves and can’t even define what it means.  They’re Anti-fascists that can’t define… fascism!

“We continue to firmly oppose welfare benefits for illegal immigrants. We believe family members who sponsor immigrants into this country should take financial responsibility for them, and be held legally responsible for supporting them.”

They Had Sex But Taxpayers Got *******!

Pregnancy-Termination AbortionThe California State Senate has passed a bill sponsored by State Sen. Connie Leyva in support of on-campus abortion services at state colleges. Connie is excited about advancing her contribution to the genocide of pre-born babies. And while there does not appear to be a provision in the legislation for drive-thru services or no-charge RU486 vending machines, you’d be hard-pressed to think otherwise given how important the idea of accessibility to the tools of the chemical abortion trade is to her.

Project Veritas: Twitter Network Engineer Say’s They’d Give DoJ Trump’s Private Messages.

Project Veritas’ latest undercover video captured Clay Haynes, network security engineer, for Twitter discussing the company’s alleged willingness to hand over Trump’s entire Twitter record: tweets, mentions, private messages, etc. if it would help the Department of Justice’s investigation. Twitter has since distanced itself from Clay Hayes. There’s a lot more at Legal Insurrection

Women’s March Ditching Pussyhats Cuz of “Men”

The pink hand-knitted tea-cozy market is about to get flooded. Women’s March organizers are moving away from the iconic “pussyhat” because it may be offensive to trans women who don’t have female genitalia. Just so we are clear, the Women’s March wants to ditch their “iconic Pussyhat” because of men.   We now return you to your regularly … Read more

HB 628: The NH RINOS that help NH Dems institute yet another Progressive Social program

NH GOP Email Logo2This would be the Paid Family Leave Act – something that a few companies have put into action on their own thinking that it was the right thing to do and would possibly given them a competitive advantage a strictly voluntary program.  Well with HB628, we now have a CLASSIC example of a Progressive Govt crowd-out in which Democrats just love themselves a new revenue source, co-opt a private sector idea, and shove the nose of the Govt camel not just under the tent but through the other side. The vote was 183 YEAS to 151 NAYS – with 33 RINOS voting with the Dems to put this on the back of the private sector.  Sure, there were the usual suspects like Karel Crawford, Carolyn Gargasz et al, but there was one name that stuck out like a sore thumb:

Party County District Vote
Crawford, Karel Republican Carroll 4 Yea
Marsh, William Republican Carroll 8 Yea
Umberger, Karen Republican Carroll 2 Yea
Sterling, Franklin Republican Cheshire 14 Yea
Fothergill, John Republican Coos 1 Yea
Merner, Troy Republican Coos 7 Yea
Richardson, Herbert Republican Coos 4 Yea
Boutin, Skylar Republican Grafton 2 Yea
Darrow, Stephen Republican Grafton 17 Yea

We have to give credit where it is due. Speaker of the New Hampshire House, Gene Chandler is not historically what we’d call a conservative. But yesterday he used his vote to break two ties in the Legislature to kill bad bills.

The House deadlocked on two bills that would ban gay conversion therapy, requiring House Speaker Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, to cast tie-breaking votes that defeated both bills.

All it takes is a voluntary action…

Or just send in a bigger check as a “donation”. After all, hasn’t the Left said for years that bigger taxes is Patriotic? But I just don’t understand – they all clamor for higher taxes but just don’t voluntarily send it in themselves.  What does it say about the mental stability of the Left that … Read more

Connecticut’s Dannel Malloy Sings Progressive Siren Call That NH Democrats Should Answer

Dannel Malloy Tax storyI’d bet someone else’s money that New Hampshire Democrats are jealous of Connecticut and Dannel Malloy. Since 2011 he’s raised taxes at least three times, and instead of balancing the budget with those taxes he overspent each time creating a new deficit requiring more tax increases.

If we jumped in our way-back machine to the mid-to-late naughts, (2006-2010) Dennel’s style of government matches what New Hampshire Democrats had planned for the Granite State.

Notable Quote- Richard Bledsoe

A great definition of “Social Justice”: “Social Justice” claims to be about fairness, which is a highly desirable outcome. But the term is a manipulative Newspeak euphemism for envy, revenge and oppression.  What social justice actually does is crush people into group identities which have been assigned favored and non-favored status by  power hungry establishment … Read more
