Spec just emailed out a list of the worst “Democrat-elected-Speaker-Jasper leadership-following” rubber-stamp (r)epublicans in the New Hampshire House, and we like to share.
When the majority of Republicans vote No, and the Democrats vote Yes, odds are that No is the right vote. When Leadership votes Yes with Democrats, against the majority of Republicans, then Leadership is wrong. When a Rep votes Yes with Leadership, even though Leadership is wrong, that Rep is a Yes-man.
Sorry, I just can’t cross that line to being Liberal. BUT! Live by the sword, die by the sword. If the Left / Socialists / Cultural Marxist want society be mired in an absolute moral relativism (oxymoron intended) as it seem, then MY truth is just as valid as their’s. Oh, you say, but you’re … Read more
I think the Department of labor needs to investigate the hiring and promotion practices at the Huffington Post. There is an obvious ageist, sexist bias in force here. As for “diversity,” I do see BOTH blueberries and strawberries.
The American Revolution wasn’t fought for plunder or conquest, but for the ideas that people can govern themselves and have inherent (by birth) rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For these ideas wealthy, prominent Americans, prospering under British rule, pledged/risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor…and many endured hardships during the revolution they began.
The US Constitution defined a government that implemented those ideas, enabling self-government (through elected representatives) and protecting peoples’ inherent rights.
Some people have various criticisms of the Constitution, e.g., it allowed slavery, although it authorized Congress to abolish it after 1808, and it didn’t enable women to vote; but the Constitution provided an amendment process for providing fixes and addressing future needs.
In our first century, Americans became the wealthiest and freest people in the world; millions immigrated to pursue their American dreams.
Then things changed.
Leftists (progressives, liberals, Democratic Socialists, or whatever they want to be called to hide their intentions), unrestricted as they are by facts, logic, history, or reality, often ascribe their own nasty characteristics to their opponents, e.g., that the TEA Party is Fascist.
The leftists would probably prefer to call the TEA Partiers Nazis, which were perhaps 100 times worse than Fascists, or Stalinists, which were even worse, but everyone knows that Nazis are Socialist and Stalinists were Communist and the leftists like socialism and communism.
The distinctions between Fascist, Socialist, Communist, Tsarist, Emperor, and other absolute (right-wing or left-wing) dictatorships are only interesting to philosophers and academics tired of debating how many angels can dance on the head of pin. The distinctions are meaningless to the people whose freedoms, property, and lives are arbitrarily taken by government.
Coming this Summer…
“It is unacceptable that we have textbooks in our schools that spread doubt about the human causes and urgency of the crisis,” Lincoln High School student Gaby Lemieux said during board testimony Tuesday.”
The existence of the Kyle Tasker client list is still the subject of much speculation. The NH AG, as reported by the Union Leader on May 18th, doesn’t know anything about a credible list.
“I don’t know where this thing about a list is coming from,” said Attorney General Joseph Foster. “I’ve heard rumors, but as far as keeping a black book, I’ve not heard that … I’ve never heard from any credible source that (Tasker) has a list.”
But on March 18th, NH News 9 reporter Josh McElveen said that,
The Big Bang Theory is a television sitcom featuring an obnoxious self-centered, scientist with poor social skills, suggestive of an Asperger’s identity. Actor Jim Parsons does a masterful job portraying Dr. Cooper who demands all social constructs be folded into his world view… Much like Politifact when it comes to guns and the Second Amendment.
On May 11, Politifact’s own Linda Qiu writes, “Donald Trump Falsely Claims, Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment.” Qiu is 100% correct. Hillary Clinton has never come right out and said those words. Never. For a politician (charlatan) like Hillary to do so would be certain political suicide. She would draw the ire of many of her hypocritical, gun-owning left-wing friends.
We’ll start with the funniest one. I know, not PC and my cisgender white-ish privilege is showing. But, sorry, actually, scratch that, no I’m not. If you’re offended, grow a pair like this guy did and deal with it. To my culture, my generation, and my crew that I grew up with this **** is funny:
This next one, is not funny, but accurate. I know you’re nodding. You know it as I do.
Credit-Card Debt Nears $1 Trillion as Banks Push Plastic. That sum would come close to the all-time peak of $1.02 trillion set in July 2008, just before the financial crisis intensified, and could signal an easing of frugal habits ingrained by the recession. The boom has been driven by steady economic conditions and an improving … Read more

I agree with Sploid – much more appreciation when the action is slowed down.
How often do you hear about a solar energy plant self-immolating? Yup, the same Obama boondoggle with our tax money that we’ve been writing about for years (bird burning, environment killing, proving solar energy isn’t free, bankrupt) decided to show us all that it could set itself on fire and kill off 2/3rds of itself: … Read more
Of course, if one raises wages artificially, by union or by statute, unemployment will result. The argument one hears from, say, Paul Krugman – that raising wages is good for the company because workers will work harder as a result – seems implausible, considering that the company in such a case would already have raised … Read more

The US Food and Drug Administration, no doubt after fielding dozens of angry calls from Michelle Obama (shouting LET’S MOVE!), has finally unleashed released new food labeling requirements for the people’s of our once great land. (Can you feel the lack of anticipation?)
So what’s the deal with this latest round of bureaucratic interference by our “betters?”
Finally, a state legislature decides enough of this out of control political correctness / cultural Marxism that is spiraling out of control thanks to the 60 radicals that decided to use universities as their own cultural “Easy Bake Oven” (emphasis mine):
TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1, UT OFFICE OF DIVERSITY 0. Here’s an email that went out to the University of Tennessee community from Chancellor Jimmy Cheek today:
It saddens me to share with you that a new state law requires us to defund the Office of Diversity and Inclusion from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017. This means that no funds can go to operate the office. Vice Chancellor Rickey Hall has announced that he is becoming the vice president for the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity at the University of Washington and chief diversity officer for the UW system. One of the employees in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion has been offered another position with the university, and the university continues to assist the other employee whose position is being eliminated. As the law requires, the university will reallocate the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s budget to minority engineering scholarships.
But it seems that Academia doesn’t like its leash shortened and is willfully trying to do a “go around” – the leadership is acting just like its students when they hear “NO!” After all, academia BELIEVES in its entitlements by being “the smarted people in the room” (the high brow translation:
