2022 Shaping Up to be a Wave Election in New Hampshire … A BLUE Wave

Notable Quote – Capitalism Hasn’t Been “Unfettered” for Decades; Perhaps We Should Try It?

Chris Sununu – ‘Capitalist Hero’
Wednesday’s Executive Council meeting was noteworthy. Our Governor confused Socialism with Capitalism and our ill-prepared Executive Council failed to disabuse him of that mistake.
“Socialist Magazine Founder Fires Staff for Socialist Organizing, Confesses He Felt Ownership of What He’d Made”
A socialist starts a socialist magazine, hires more Socialists that are “down with the Cause,” and then faces a revolt when his Socialist workers try to make it a “workers co-operative” and fires them. This is beyond hysterical.
Notable Quote – Have Progressives already beat the Free Market into submission? Have we moved into Fascism controlled markets?
Reformatted, emphasis mine: In the interventionist state it is no longer of crucial importance for the success of an enterprise that operations be run in such a way that the needs of the consumer are satisfied in the best and least expensive way; it is much more important that one has “good relations” with the … Read more
Is Capitalism Evil?
The cover page of the July 4th Union Leader read, “Poetry Returns with a Slam,” headlining the return of Slam Free or Die, a poetry club that had not met in person since the beginning of the COVID lockdowns.
If You Want the Poor to be Richer, Socialism Can’t do That!
Do you want to be in charge of your own economic choices, or are you in favor of others making those choices without your input? That’s really what’s at stake and what Friedman points out here.

It may be the most common criticism of free enterprise, the economic system that has produced more wealth spread across by far the widest portion of people in all of human history: It’s all based on selfishness and greed.
Defense of Free Markets
There has been way too little defense of free markets. There are many ways in which business elevates humanity. Capitalism is based on doing things for others, things others find value in. Innovation and value creation are inherent in free-market capitalism.
UN Sustainable Development Goals – Determined to Stamp Out Free Will
Want to live under one World Government? The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are a bold attempt at just that. They aim at achieving equality on a global level. They are noble goals: Zero hunger. Zero poverty. But they would also mean zero freedom too.

When the real “peaceful protests” started to not be peaceful at all, and when you couldn’t tell the BLM rioters from the Antifa ones, we shouldn’t have been surprised. I try to take people at their word when they are saying something “important” (as opposed to noticeably just joking around).
Here are some of the more persistent socialism myths and information to debunk them.
We are seeing many socialist ideas gaining traction in America today. Polling shows about 70% of millennials say they would back a socialist candidate for elective office. This is troubling because of what socialism is and what it produces.

Democrat National Committee Panelist – Our Aim is the Destruction of Capitalism
No longer does the question “What is the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist” have any relevance. There are none. One only has to understand what the Black Lives Matters movement has openly said about Capitalism and that the three founders are “trained Marxist.”
