This is what I’ve been saying about the eco-Socialists for a long, long time

January 13, 2020January 13, 2020 Skip

Regular readers know that I’ve always tried to show how the only “way forward!” from the environmentalists is that EVERYone must make do with less.

December 13, 2019

So what will YOU tell your children and grandchildren on how you protected their freedom?

November 28, 2019 Skip

From modernity to the 1700s. From Prosperity to poverty. From Freedom to Government restricting you in every aspect of your lives. The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen. Giving thanks for a Government that makes a mockery of “The Land of the Free”? (H/T: Powerline)

NH Dem Party Chair seeking to silence a Conservative on FB – silences himself (in shame?)

September 1, 2019September 1, 2019 Skip

You know, it really doesn’t get much better than this when you’re a blogger. It’s almost too easy when the Other Side keeps on saying, figuratively, “Thank you sir, may I have another” (although I’m cringing as a write this because this is about Ray Buckley. Again).

July 22, 2019 Skip

Reading that title, one should be thinking, at least, of North Korea. China, as well.

I also think of the Stasi, keeping tabs on … Read more

Obey the Founders, Buy Guns and Ammunition!

May 1, 2019April 30, 2019 Skip

The NH House Democrats have approved a whole raft of bills that incrementally remove our Second Amendment and Article 2-A Rights from our Constitutions. They lie when they say “common sense” and “responsible” gun control is what they are doing.

Taxes vs Personal Spending: shouldn’t this be flipped?

September 26, 2018August 7, 2018 Skip

Federal Taxes: $3.4 trillion

State and Local Taxes: $1.8 trillion

TOTAL: $5.2 trillion

Do you think, as a country, we’re getting our money’s worth from all that taxation?
