Cardello: How is that Big Tent Working for You

August 1, 2026 Ray Cardello

The Democrats continue to do and say things that you would not expect from one of our major political Parties. I still think of JFK, Bill Clinton (yes, he was a power), Tip O’Neill, and the forces they were in American politics and our history. The so-called leaders of today’s Democratic Party could not carry … Read more

CARDELLO: Hasan Piker, Political Monster

July 28, 2026 Ray Cardello

There are times when someone is just looking for attention. They have created a message and persona and, through Social Media, have attracted millions of mindless followers. Sometimes these creatures need to be kept in the box. Sometimes we need to recognize the evil and keep it under wraps. Sometimes the box needs to be … Read more

ROPER: The Privileged, White, Loser Party

July 28, 2026 Rob Roper

This week, the famed pollster and certainly no conservative, Nate Silver, founder (but since departed) of FiveThirtyEight and now author of the Silver Bulletin, published an article breaking down the financial and racial demographics of who makes up the Democratic Socialists of America. What he discovered is that the party’s “sweet spot,” to use the term from … Read more

ANDERSON: Yes, Democratic Socialists Want Soviet-Style Control of Capital

July 26, 2026 William L. Anderson

There is no doubt that people who identify as democratic socialists are making large gains in the Democratic Party. They control mayoral offices in major cities like New York and Seattle and are going to be a force in the next Congress, having seen enormous success in the Democratic Party congressional primaries. However, there is … Read more

MACDONALD: Chris Pappas is Fighting “For” Corruption

July 25, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Since our faux-milquetoast New Hampshire Dems are playing at being moderates, it is worth revisiting the topic. How do you pretend to go to DC to represent New Hampshire interests when neither of you, Goodlander nor Pappas, is capable of standing up to the radicals who will run your caucus? The nut house has fractured. … Read more

Maine Socialists Are So White and Straight They Have To Scrap Their Diversity Quotas

July 16, 2024January 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat Socialists of America chapter in Maine has a problem. They wrote a diversity quota requirement into their by-laws because that’s what cultural Marxists do. So what’s the problem? There aren’t enough commies in Maine who are not white and straight.

Southern NH Democrat Socialists of America

UNH Economics and the Democrat Socialists of America

February 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Our good friend Beth Scaer stumbled on an invitation to a local event. The Southern New Hampshire Democrat Socialists of America have a general meeting coming up next Sunday. Beth expressed some interest. Maybe curiosity is a better word. And she was rewarded.

Well, I guess this answers The Question of “what is the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist?”

September 26, 2018July 3, 2018 Skip

This is the question that has been around for a while now that many high level Democrats refused to answer. Now, as we are seeing, they’re fine in coming out of the Communist closet (as it were). As Steve pointed out, “Democrat Socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her Congressional District Primary in NY by knocking off a long term (and in line,perhaps, to replace Pelosi as the next Speaker of the US House IF the Democrat/Socialists take over the House). Hey, the “Progressive” (actually Socialists) Caucus in the US House is the largest group the Democrats have – and have been advocating for a stealth coup of the US Constitutional values for years. And this weekend, with all of protests of those that patrol and defend our border, the Democrat Left has basically got into everyone’s faces in telling the rest of us we are racists for supporting ICE and the Border police and if you have “evolved” away from American values, the Democrat Socialists of America (that Red Rose below is their logo – it’s red due to all of the Socialist victims that were collateral damage during their Long Marches to Utopias that never existed or attained) are demanding you vote for them:

“Abolish and Prosecute ICE” – I don’t even get

Has the Democrat Party Openly Embraced – “No ban. No wall. No borders at all”?

September 26, 2018June 30, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Remember “Occupy Wall Street?” How about “Black Lives Matter (BLM)?” “The Women’s March?” Do you know what they have in common? They are all progressive movements within the radical left crafted to create media sensationalism so that so-called main-stream Democrat politicians can use their ‘outcry’ to push far-left policy prescriptions.

Would you be surprised to discover that the hew and cry over “separating families” at the border is no different?

“The politicization of everything”

September 26, 2018June 20, 2018 Skip

Bill Bunker, a conservative commentor over at the Concord Monitor (yes, there are a few!) actually had an Op-Ed piece published by said paper by the name above (reformatted, emphasis mine):

…Politics spills into every aspect of our society, including sports, entertainment, faith, education and even corporate America. No aspect of our lives is immune from toxic political sewage spewing from those with an agenda, ideology and thirst for power. What brings fans together at a sporting event is the game. Uniting behind our favorite team, we find common ground and sameness. We can be of a different race, economic class, gender, politics or faith, and we meet on common ground. Politics has eroded and is ruining that tiny bit of unity.

Athletes and media outlets like ESPN abuse their powerful celebrity pulpit, destroying what little common unity many of us have left. Subtle suggestions of our supposed racism and sexism in Super Bowl ads is a prime example of politics permeating the institution of sports and pitting one fan against the other.

My comment is after the jump and wouldn’t you know it, two sad examples of injecting Progressive politics showed up today:

Getting outside the echo chamber: “The Right opposes Social Security because…every person has worth….” Part 2

September 26, 2018March 12, 2013 Skip

The Right opposes Social Security because it is based on the social democratic idea that every person has worth, even if they are too old to work, and that no one should live in poverty.

And so we debate! I received Professor Joseph Schwartz’s opening remarks on the defense of this line written by Maria Svart, National Director of the Democrat Socialists of America. Tomorrow I will post my response:

3/11/13: Prof. Schwartz

The democratic left has always supported collective means of social insurance, such as publicly-funded (through equitable taxation) universal health care, old-age pensions, disability insurance, and unemployment insurance. We support all citizens being covered because both the rich and poor, young and old get sick or disabled and they often don’t have jobs or the purchasing power to cover themselves thru individual insurance. The right has always resisted the implementation of social insurance and always fights to “privatize” it as much as possible, arguing that individuals should have the foresight (and “the freedom”) to insure themselves (or those who pay in more should get better coverage).

Irony – do you see it?

September 26, 2018July 30, 2012 Skip

Aw, cry me a river of tears! I got this from a friend (wink, wink) from the National Director for Socialist Youths division of the Democrat Socialists of America. Does anyone else see the irony in the plea ( reformatted, emphasis mine) Invest Your Socialist Cash in the Future: Youth Scholarship Fund Running Low If … Read more
