How the City of Nashua Treats Women Must Change

October 19, 2024

by Laurie Ortolano

Ending Gender Discrimination in Public Information Access I have faced unjustified obstacles and outright hostility for four years while attempting to access public information from Nashua under New Hampshire’s 91-A Right to Know law.

by Gonzalo Schwarz

The American Dream was built on a promise of equality – a promise of equality in terms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. During the 2024 election, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both working overtime to say why Republicans or Democrats are better on the equality issue. But what kind of equality? Harris … Read more

By Wanjiru Njoya | Mises Wire – In A Cure Worse Than The Disease: Fighting Discrimination Through Government Control, M. Lester O’Shea criticizes the notion that we should legislate against unfairness. He poses the question as follows: “No one defends unfairness.

Blogline of the Day – And It Is Your Government That Is the Oppressor. How Can It Not Be?

February 8, 2023

by Skip

I was looking through our archives for mentions of the Frankfurt School, and Antonio Gramsci for my “Disney’s REALLY gone Woke” post, and this popped up from 2016. While not directly in line, it does approach in a similar fashion because it REQUIRES Government to carry out the action.

Circle back to a year ago. The pandemic was raging and we all shared a desperate hope for the success of Operation Warp Speed. Every one of us faced a very personal threat from the raging virus from China. We looked to our leaders for guidance and assurance.

The NH Dept of Ed Wants “Increasing Equitable Access” – About That…

January 27, 2021

by Skip

Got this Presser from the NH Dept of Education. Actually, I get a lot of them (don’t know if I get them all). At first blush I just went through it and then one word caught my eye: Equitable.

The Radical Egalitarians And Their Rival Constitution

January 2, 2021January 2, 2021

The U.S. Constitution, the one the founders wrote, holds that all men are created equal. We are endowed by our “nature and nature’s God” with unalienable rights. Those rights precede government. Further, the purpose of the state is to protect those rights and to treat all citizens equally.

This election is about western civilization.

We Are in a Struggle for the Very Soul and Being of Western Civilization

October 13, 2020

Is it true that to have a pathway into politics one needs to be rich or to know rich people? Or is it possible to have the acuity to identify a unique window of opportunity and capitalize on it? Is this new or has this always been the American system?

Is There still Time to Rekindle America’s Spirit of Pride?

Americans haven’t always seen eye-to-eye on all issues. From the beginning, long before there were Democrats and Republicans, there were opposing political parties offering contrasting solutions to the problems facing our country.

Notable Quote – Equity does not mean Equality

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020

by Skip

“[E]quity,” (is) a euphemism for racial, gender and other discrimination. It’s the opposite of equal opportunity, it’s demanding equal results even if it means discriminating against some people on the basis of race, ethnicity or other immutable factors.

Fundamentally and Violently Transforming

July 6, 2020July 1, 2020

The Left is hellbent, though, on fundamentally and violently transforming America. Remember all the way back to last year. Feminists were celebrating women’s equality. They were declaring #TheFutureIsFemale; now men can be women by simply claiming the title. This is just one more example of exactly how ignorant smart phones are making us. The internet … Read more

File this in the ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ folder folks. Female Democrat Representatives Jan Schmidt and Rosemarie Rung (two of the worst reps at the NH State House) are complaining for being treated….. seriously… not even kidding… EQUALLY.

Quick Thought: Media Hypocrisy on Prez Candidates and churches. Why is only one in “hot water”?

And no, it’s not about Holy Water, either. A picture of two candidates – why didn’t you hear a squawk out of the MSM about the second one? Oh, Narrative: First: One in a black church Second: One outside a church on the public sidewalk So, one is politicking inside the church, taking a knee … Read more

Shaking our Faith in the “American creed”

June 2, 2020June 1, 2020

Watching TV this weekend, the contrasts could not have been more shocking to the human conscience. Hoodlum anarchist Gen-Z’ers and Millennials looting and rioting across America in supposed “protest” to the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on one hand.

Was Malthus Correct After All?

May 10, 2020

Thomas Robert Malthus is known for the assertion: Population grows geometrically while food production grows arithmetically. Yeah, I know, it just ain’t so. So why bring it up, right?

I Have a #Woke Solution to Megan Rapinoe’s Soccer Salary Gender Discrimination Row

February 23, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

Women Soccer Players have sued the League for paying women less than men to play professional soccer. As an American, I could care less, but since one of the “front men” for this exercise is angry-lesbian culture warrior Megan Rapinoe I feel compelled to comment.
