Most folks know what the NHSBA stands for – The NH School Board Association. Frankly, it is the epitome of the Education Establishment. They know best. They will do what they want, and while they’d like “involved parents,” They don’t brook too much dissent.

Unlike Progressive-Socialists who believe that “charity” can only be carried out by Government and not by private entities (see Bernie Sanders, below), Conservatives believe that each ONE of us is PERSONALLY responsible for helping others out – not as a Collective.

According to the National School Board Association, I’m a self-acknowledged Domestic Terrorist. Eighty percent of the Gilford School Board agreed with them (after all, the Left has taught us that Silence is Complicity, right?) when I asked if they thought I was one.

by Skip

Prof. Don Boudreaux brings up an EXCELLENT idea / point about the miserable outcomes that may well come from really bad policies – can we hold Bernie (the socialist with three houses and millions made from his best selling books?) personally accountable?

Sucktion 230 … Accountability for Thee But Not for Me

January 7, 2021January 7, 2021

Sucktion 230 is all about accountability for thee but not for me. It is free speech battle… sorta. It’s not a battle for Leftist speech. It’s only a battle for conservative speech.

by Skip

RRftsofRP members believe in one thing – the Republican Party. That’s fine as far as it goes but that’s ALL they care about. They don’t care about policy, they don’t care about the Platform, and in this case, they don’t care about the NH Constitution (and generally, the US one as well).

Is it Fair to Hold Joe Accountable to His Past Actions?

September 10, 2020September 10, 2020

Joe Biden has been “part of the problem” for nearly half a century. Why is it reasonable to expect him to fix as president what he presided over putting in place as a senator? Shouldn’t we ask better questions of Uncle Joe?
