“Faster than we can find honest people…”

Guest-post from Dan Kanna, New Hampshire’s new Tenth Amendment Center Director….an editorial to the Union Leader. Dear Editor,The question has been asked “Who are you taking your country back from?”; this is a very reasonable question, and deserves to be answered. When you look at government from the lens of sovereignty the answer becomes clear. … Read more

Where Is That Elusive Middle Ground?

Grassroots is at the root of all politics in New Hampshire these days (most days really) and in response to that the Sunday News has taken notice, publishing an article this morning by Shawne K. Whikham which highlights a handful of groups from around the state.

Carol Scold-Porter; once again getting it wrong

On WMUR’s Closeup show, she regurgitates the same old Progressive pap: We can only allow the tax cuts for the middle class We have to borrow money from China To give to the rich (anyone making over $250K) The truth? If ANYTHING, not passing the present bill under discussion, would result in a tax HIKE … Read more

Just Throwing This Out There…

The House Democrats have balked at a bi-partisan deal that while not perfect, is an actual compromise, and would end a good deal of the uncertainty about tax increases (that is stagnating the economy) by ensuring that for the most part, there are almost none. (The estate tax survives)

Data Points – Economics

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified."
            – President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Pretty much, I think we are finally at the point where any more attempts by ANY Progressive or Democrat to blame our economic woes on Bush and the Republicans are look just like further Baghdad Bob impersonations as American tanks rolled through behind him.  Am betting that this kind of chart, showing the  on-going and absolutely dismal job of creating new jobs (or recovering those that have been lost):

(H/T: Big Government)

At what point will the current Administration finally figure out "new tact needed?"  Right now, Obama will have this as part of his legacy – only two years in.  And ANY Democrat trying to spin it will also have to spin the fact that Democrats have ruled the roost  for the last four years in DC.

So, feeling comfortable yet?

You shouldn’t – even as the private sector is struggling, it certainly is the case that Federal Government workers need not worry at all:

Other people’s money…

British students are protesting a tripling of college tuition rates. Are they justified?

If There’s Grass On The Field Play Ball

We could call most Democrats a contradiction wrapped in an enigma but to be honest there is nothing enigmatic about them. They are just a contradiction. And while we could give them some small credit for not always understanding their own contradictions, acting as they often do solely on feelings and impulse, when they have their own newspaper and use it to propagandize the subscriber-ship with bovine bloviations, we can offer only pity.

Inside Baseball

Does anyone know the process for congressional chairmanships? Erik has indicated above that the House GOP needs to ratify leadership’s decisions but I was not aware of that condition. It was my understanding that anyone who is not on the steering committee did not get a voice on chairmanships and appointments but maybe that’s wrong.

How is the New Jersey court system like the Ku Klux Klan when it comes to Second Amendment rights? Says New Hampshire Attorney Evan Nappen: “Please contact Gov. Chris Christie now.”

Free State Project participant and New Hampshire resident Evan Nappen urges us to contact New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to help free Brian Aitken from prison there. Mr. Aitken was sent to prison by a disgraceful judge who made his court look more like a Ku Klux Klan meeting violating civil rights than a court of justice. See attorney Evan Nappen … Read more

How to kill off the public employee unions….

New Hampshire state House of Represenatives, please take note. Also, New Hampshire state Senate please take note. And, New Hampshire Executive Council please take note: Public employee unions are a menace to society, and must be eliminated. HERE are some ideas on how to proceed. 

When did “not taking” and “giving” become synonymous?

A brief look at the current tax cut affair going on in DC.  As always, it is important to look back in history, to get a better context of what is happening today.  When we do this, we see what "is" now, and how it got there, in a whole different, more critical light.  What "is", … Read more

They’ve “learned their lesson”?

Well, Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) is either pulling a fast one on us, or he’s an indecisive dope.  Three years ago, this Michigan Republican worked with a California Democrat to add a contingent to the "bi-partisan" Energy Independence and Security Act that phases out (makes illegal!) traditional incandescent light bulbs, in favor of the curly-Q, … Read more

Good Cop – Bad Cop

iStock Photo ImageEveryone knows Good Cop, Bad Cop. 

You have gruff and uncompromising on one side, and then someone else shows up sweet as pie.  The goal is to get something you want that they do not want to give up. 

So is Mr. Obama’s compromise on stopping a tax increase part of the good cop bad-cop formula?
