Prager U – God vs. Atheism

Belief in God, according to atheists, is irrational, illogical, and dumb. Belief that the universe created itself is, they say, intelligent, rational, and based in science. This is simply false. Nothing can create itself. Everything has a cause–including the universe. That cause, argues Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, is God, the “unmoved … Read more

Julie “Four States” Tries To Divert Attention

In a desperate attempt to shift Attention from Democrat Jeanne Shaheen’s unwavering support for ObamaDemocratCare, transient Democrat spokesperson, Julie “Four States In Four Years” McClain, tosses a class envy, anti-big oil press release bone to the partisans in her party.

How sad is that?

Come on, sell that tax cut, keep your doctor, free health insurance program in New Hampshire Senator Shaheen!

Here is what “Four States” offers in its stead: Brown did Wall Street’s Bidding Before, and They Want Him Again

Jeanne Shaheen – A Strong Independent Voice for NH? Not so Much…

It adds a whole new meaning to ‘We are the 99%’ when a multi-millionaire-one-percenter like Shaheen votes with the destructive Obama ruling class agenda 99% of the time after she said she’d be a strong independent voice for NH.  Heck, she even repeated the ruling class ObamaCare lies?  Independent?  From what, Reality? Citizens for a … Read more

Not Unexpectedly – Democrats & Media Lied About IRS Targeting Left Wing Groups

“IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media have claimed,…” “Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While … Read more

Concealed Carry Weapons Laws Lower Murder Rates

gun control c/o John Hinderaker at Powerline.

Economist Mark Gius has a new study in the journal Applied Economics Letters that bears on the gun control debate. Gius finds that permissive concealed carry laws (generally, “shall issue”) result in a lower rate of homicide involving firearms. Conversely, state-level assault weapons bans have no statistically significant effect on the homicide rate involving guns.

And the critical point in the abstract…

Notable Quote – Andrew Sullivan

On speaking about Brendan Eich and Mozilla: Will he now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me – as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a … Read more

We’ve seen the result of totalitarian thinking before…

In the Land of the Free, how free are we?  Once again, the sorry story of Brendan Eich is a great object lesson.  Over at Patheos, the Anchoress has a good piece on this growing intolerance of groupthink (emphasis mine, reformatted):

If the headline strikes some as offensive, it will nevertheless remain, because that’s the case I’m making, and I’m sticking with it: a gay CEO with a pair of brass ones needs to step up and speak truth to a growing, and most illiberal new power. He or she needs to hire Brendan Eich in some sort of corporate leadership capacity for the sake of the most fundamental of freedoms — the freedom to think what you want to think, even if your thinking is unpopular or deemed “mistaken” — and in so doing boldly declare that our society has no truck with inquisitions.

Guest Post: Brian Grisset on CACR 17 and NH State Senator Bette Lasky

To the Editor, On Wednesday I attended the NH House Judiciary Hearing on CACR 17, a proposed revision to our State Constitution adding “gender orientation” to the list of race, creed, color, sex or national origin for which discrimination is prohibited. During the prior Senate Hearings, except for the sponsors of the bill, no one … Read more

Democrat War on Work – What Do You Mean ‘Where Have The Workers Gone?’

jobless men keep going - Obama is not creating enough jobs if anyDemocrats are not the party of work, or the American family.  Their ‘American Dream’ is a nation crowded with dependents.

Under Democrat rule work force participation has plummeted while government dependence has skyrocketed.

There is no mystery.  Millions or worker did not “vanish from the workforce.”  They were driven out by a sustained, regulatory assault on the American economy.  They are ideological refugees.

Democrat policy destroyed their jobs and trapped them in a co-dependent relationship with the welfare state.  They were forced to trade the ladder to success for a hammock.  An exchange far too many will accept, finding it easier to vote themselves a meager future on their knees instead of risking time and energy fighting for a better life on their feet.

Looks like someone forgot to register his “name” domain

Not exactly a most auspicious start from someone that ran a high tech company like BAE?  I wonder who his advisor(s) are, or is this the mark of “rushing into things”?  No matter what, someone (and will continue)  is having fun at his expense:  Walter Havenstein.com.  Montgomery County (MD) property tax, contributing to a “pre-primary” … Read more

“…a litany of Democrat sponsored bills…that never would have passed if it hadn’t been for me…”

Like Dodd-Frank.

This backs up what I wrote here (H/T: You know who you are).  BTW, the info that is coming our way are NOT from “Democrat trackers” or even folks that are connected with other US Senate (or otherwise) Republican campaigns.  You know, sometimes bloggers are looked up as “the enemies”.  The truth is, something has to get our dander up for us to write about something or someone – something that violates our sense of cultural or political right-and-wrong.  Or in the case of Scott Brown, not saying much at all – he and his staff (that would be Andy Leach) might just listen a bit to our free advice and that of Grok friend DaTechGuy, a Republican that has to live the agony of being a Conservative in MA but takes interest in NH politics (emphasis mine, reformatted):

…Last week Senator Brown took my advice appearing in Hollis NH at the home of Granite Grok’s Mike Rogers with his lovely wife Gail to meet with a group of voters and make the case for him as the next Senator GOP senator from NH.  Mike regularly hosts candidates so people can meet and engage them and I’m often there to cover them. I missed this one but I commend Senator Brown for making the trip, but after reading the accounts of the event from Skip & Mike it seems that in giving said advice I left out an important point, something that is inherent to NH GOP politics that doesn’t come into play very often in Massachusetts.

In Massachusetts the GOP is so weak that
