Janus vs. AFSCME – a personal take

UPDATE: As the Supreme court just decided for Janus and against the unions, this post is appropriate.  Best news? SCOTUS rules that public sector union MUST be opt-in for payments.   Essentially, this returns freedom to individuals over the unions; no more paycheck protection for unions. ************ “Live Free or Die” – that’s our state motto and …

FB Doodlings – “Scott Metzger: Some of property-tax burden should be shifted to vehicle registrations” – Part 2

Well, I do have to admit, the Concord Monitor does get a large diversity of commenters on posts sometimes.  No, not the skin-color-deep-facial-features kind of diversity where only looks count.  I mean the only diversity that really counts – intellectual and philosophical differences.  Dick Lemiuex  riled up frequent Progressive CM and Grok commenter, Bruce Currie …

The constitutionality of education savings accounts

By NH State Rep Glenn Cordelli Recently two of my colleagues in the New Hampshire House wrote that Senate Bill 193, the “school voucher” bill, is unconstitutional (Monitor Forum, March 24).

Isn’t it just absolutely wonderful that…

…Progressives have this crazy idea of what real choice is? This is supposed to be the height of intellectual honesty? And how crazier is it that we let them get away with it? (H/T: Powerline)

Gosnell – the aborted-but-born-alive baby killer. Yes, this is an apt analogy…

Abortion is not pretty – it is death up close. Oh sure, the Progressives call it “choice” and make it sound like “no big thing”.  NARAL and Planned Parenthood call it “reproductive health”: yeah, this emphasis on calling a baby’s death anything but what it is ends up looking like this: (Image H/T: CNSNews) That’s …

Notable Quote – Common Core

Common Core is just the secular-humanist-educational equivalent of Shari’a Law, implemented by controlling, secular-humanist, anti-religious socialist, personal-choice-bigots who insist we spend billions more every year because every child learns differently but then can’t seem to see the hypocrisy of wanting every state, county, and School district across the fruited plain to follow a one-size-fits-all nation-wide curriculum, implemented by statist fatwa, advanced through an organized campaign based on guilt and intimidation, …

Government: wanna a dog? Criminal background check and dog class for YOU!

Best comment over at the News Observer: When are we going to close the dog show loophole?  Yeah, that pretty much sums it up as yet another politician has decided that “he’s gotta do something” and ends up with a law that says “Subject Citizen, you must again ask for permission to do that”! Rodney …

Tyranny – you WILL save for retirement and yet again, continue the incremental transformation of employers into being part of Government

Once again, a mandate that will cost you whether you like it or not, but Obama has pre-determined “how much you need”.  “From Obama’s 2014 indentured servitude and Budget (here, page 24, emphasis mine) we see the “benevolent hand” of Tyranny Our Betters Our Rulers our Government  with the socialist glove forcing paternalistic nudging yet …
