Notable Quote – Dr. Don Boudreaux

May 24, 2020 Skip

Freedom of exchange and production within a regime of private property rights and freedom of contract harnesses self-interest to the public good. Admiration and endorsement of free markets is not – contrary to much uninformed commentary – admiration and endorsement of greed or materialism. It is, instead, the reflection of an acceptance of the reality … Read more

Palate Cleanser – because who hasn’t strapped a grenade to a propane tank before, right?

May 24, 2020 Skip

Yes, a bit nuts, these two. Sauntering about with chips in a bag… Wonder what the C-level staff at AmeriGas thought about how their products is being used. Hey, does doing this contribute to Global Warming hysteria??? (H/T: Caveman Circus)

Does this mean that Zandra Rice-Hawkins is gonna call me a misogynist again (and again and again)? – Part 2

May 23, 2020 Skip

Yes, the Executive Director of out-of-state-financed Granite State Progress and Concord City Councilor (what a scary thought from a Liberty standpoint of those two positions co-joined at the ankles) Zandra Rice-Hawkins has oft not been enthralled with GraniteGrok. This won’t help as it is strictly politically incorrect – I can see the steam coming out … Read more

May 24, 2020May 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

When you let mentally insane individuals create a curriculum for the mentally insane, you get experts in this. Michigan State Professor Warns of “Unconscious Bias” and “Microaggressions” in Virtual Meetings. Did anyone tell the professor that pointing out unconscious Bias is based?

Nashua Mask Edict: A Tyranny Imposed For The “Good” Of Its Victims

May 23, 2020 Kevin Scully

Recently, the CDC issued a mask recommendation. They’ve been wrong about many things regarding COVID so far, but I’ll credit them for continuing to try. I’ll take their advice under advisement.

Enough Already with the government mandates due to COVID19

Dear Governor Sununu – ENOUGH ALREADY

May 23, 2020 Kimberly Morin

I understand NH’s governor was put into a position he didn’t ask to be put into. He was essentially between a rock and a hard place. Governor Sununu, like everyone else, was using the wildly inaccurate models pushed by the CDC and the feds to make decisions. I get it. There was no other information … Read more

Nashua’s Politicians are Using the Coronavirus to Advance their Own Political Agendas

May 23, 2020 Laurie Ortolano

Everyone knows that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives, at least temporarily. This includes how we, the public, participate in local politics. With the pandemic-induced changes to how local politics works, I am a little concerned about the health of public participation during these unusual times.

Democrat Challenge to NH Voting Requirement Collapses as Dartmouth Students Drop Lawsuit

May 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats have been telling anyone that will listen that Republicans are suppressing student votes. That was always a lie, as we’ve explained here as recently as this morning, but they took their latest tirade to court anyway and lost. Or should I say, had to walk away?

Liberty and Freedom

May 23, 2020

Liberty and freedom are rare in human history. Human instinct is not to yearn for liberty. Rather, humans yearn to be taken care of.

The CDC Decides to #WalkAway from an Earlier Recommendation

May 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

SARS CoV2 has pantsed the Centers for Disease Control. Not an uncommon problem for a bureaucracy pretending to be a competent agency. One of many (too many) waddling about with a coffee in one hand and a cruller in the other, suddenly wide-eyed at the sound of the alarm.

Potential VP Candidate: Illegal aliens “are now no longer able to elect anyone who represents them”

May 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The rumors that Stacey Abrams is being considered as a potential Biden VP are all over the map. But the name keeps popping, so we have to assume it is somewhere in the mix. Imagine a President Abrams, if that’s true. Eeek! Crazy Town. And it just got crazier.

Tales from the BudComm – Take down of “my bright idea but paid for by taxpayers”

May 23, 2020 Skip

This should be the last post in this series as my last official meeting was back in January at the Public Hearing for the School District Budget. Officially, I “retired” and did not run for re-election for a fourth term back in March.

The Real Reason Jeanne Shaheen Doesn’t Want to be Vetted as Potential Biden VP

Who Understands Islam?

May 22, 2020

Who understands Islam and where should information about Islam come from? A common error made about Islam in progressive society is: You cannot read the Koran and understand it. Oddly, both Muslims and Kafirs (non-muslims) seem to accept the assertion, most without questioning it.
