Yet another email thread where I spent time discussing / emailing instead of blogging. The context started off talking about the "Bathroom Bill" that the Democrats tried to steamroll through here in NH as a sop to the LGBT (er, what initials did I deliberately forget this time – I’m JUST so un-PC <smirk>) haters (hey, they use the word for just about anyone that says the slightest thing in disagreement with their social agenda; I refuse to cede the use of that word to them anymore). Rightfully so, that bill was critized highly for being a social issue instead of addressing the main NH issue – the fiscal black hole that the Dems were casting the State into. And being a Conservative, fiscal and social issues concern me and I believe that this subset of an email thread shows how a concentration on a purely Fiscal Issue theme to lower spending can actually be self-defeating. Plus, I have no intentions of allowing the Progressives sole purview of setting the Public Morality, without a fight, that they will force me to change my private morality. They’ve been doing it for decades (if not for a century) drip by drip; it’s time to plug that hole.

Of course, I could not help myself and decided to wade in – but also tried to turn the discussion to what really matters:
