To Save Our Students, Let’s Debate Everything That Contributes to School Shootings.
Since America’s inception, guns have been a part of our culture. Our inherent right to self-defense is enshrined in our Constitution. But in recent years, senseless mass killings by deranged gunmen have become almost a commonplace occurrence. As a result, many Americans have come to see firearms as nothing more than instruments of mass destruction, … Read more
Manchester’s Deceptive School Charter Amendment?
The bureaucrats are making a move in Manchester. The city has proposed a charter amendment that would give the school board the power to set its own spending.
The Minimum Wage is Actually Zero
If you have no job, you have no wages. When that is the case you are getting the minimum wage. ZERO dollars per hour. Biden has a plan to raise the federal minimum wage to $15. If we go there it will kill over a million jobs according to the CBO. Do you trust your government?
A Modest Proposal: Equal Treatment Under the (NHGOP’s) Law
Shortly after last year’s NHGOP Annual Meeting, I wrote a post entitled Identity Politics on the NHGOP eBoard. The accompanying photo cited George Orwell: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Does the Passage of Question 2 Harpoon Any Future Effort to Pass Marcy’s Law?

Gas Tax, Gas Tax, Gas Tax! Bill O’Brien Has An Amendment for HB 617
Former House Speaker Bill O’Brien has submitted a proposed amendment to HB 617 the New Hampshire Democrats massive gas tax hike. It would require all taxes raised to go to the Highway Department for roads and bridges. (From Facebook)
This morning I sent the following email to all other state representatives. I would like to share it with you.
If you agree, please contact your local state representative and ask him to vote on Wednesday for the O’Brien Amendment to HB 617, which will avoid an 83% gas tax increase, the largest tax increase in NH state history.
Here’s the email and the amendment is attached to this posting:
These kids do have a point…(the sequel)
A Blue Hampshire followup to this saga…
While I agree that Bob should have stopped digging, and should have extended the lessons I explain below, the BlueHampshire comment-squad goes off the rails (again), taking this story away from it’s main point.
Some of the commentators try to paint the Tea Party as "holding itself together", as long as we can "identify enemies". And, as "soon as one of them comes up with a proactive plan to close the deficit, they will incur the wrath of 75% of them who will disagree with the plan." – this is such an invalid, emotional statement, typical of liberals these days who will ridicule anything they can get their hands on, realizing they are in for a pending ballot-beatdown.
I was at the John Burt Gubernatorial debate last night, in Manchester, where 4 very different (Republican) candidates spoke, disagreed, and even acknowledged agreement, in front of an audience that was as disparate as they were.
In the end, the entire audience came together, on their feet, cheering, to send Gov. Lynch this message: "regardless of which candidate here wins the Republican primary, we are looking at the next governor of New Hampshire." And this is so, so true.
I wish I could build a composite candidate, using their best qualities. Each has a distinct set of skills that differentiate them from the others, and all are qualified to lead the Conservative revolution next year. One is bombastic, another inspiring, another compassionate and another deliberate. All have proven to be superb thinkers and doers. Yet, despite the candidate-aligned factions within the audience, and in the Conservative community, we WILL be together on September 15th, coming with great fervor, to right this State and our Country.
Criticisms of Giuda, Bass, or any other candidate are our internal filtration process, ensuring that the best people come out of the Primary, to deliver said beat-down on November 2nd.
The Tea Party/912/Conservative community is passionate, patriotic and as diverse as the 4 candidates last night. We argue, debate and posit.
Consider how Steel is made: You start with Iron, an ore consisting mainly of carbon, found commonly on the planet (an American). You add other, diverse elements, such as Magnesium, Chromium, and Tungsten (Morality, Constitutional awareness, Patriotism). These diverse elements cause the core carbon to strengthen its form, a lattice, all stronger together than alone. Varying the quantities of the elements control the qualities of the steel, such as hardness, and strength (experimenting, filtering).
The component elements are combined, heated, then cooled. Cooling creates a "re-crystalization" process, yielding Steel. The Political Primary process (now), is the heating, filtering, and combining phase. Once the primary ends, the cooling and re-crystalization will take place, yielding steel, which will not be easily broken.
