Have you ever heard anyone make reference to the first amendment? Have you ever read it yourself? Do you understand what it says? It is quite plain.

BlogQuestion of the Day – Why weren’t they hassled?
My wife just asked me an interesting and instructive question: If the police are willing to go around hassling parents and kids at playgrounds, why weren’t they at Saturday’s rally in Concord to tell everyone to go home? Do you suppose it could have anything to do with the fact so many of the people … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Marc Abear
Marc used to represent my district (Gilford / Meredith) in the NH House. Like all the others that I interviewed last Saturday, he had come to show his displeasure with how His Excellency (Gov Sununu) was handling this Kung Flu epidemic. Marc, I have come to know, is a well measured, careful, and insightful person … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Elliot Axelman
Elliot is the proprietor and blogger over at Liberty Block (where he did his own reporting of the Rally) He also ran for the NH House in a special election a wee bit ago (sadly, he was not the winner). He, too, like most of the attendees, argues his points against His Excellency (Gov Sununu) … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Tom Ploszaj
Tom has been appearing in the comment section of GraniteGrok for a while now and we’ve met in person a few times here and there. He’s now taking the step, after seeing what the Democrats have done and the ignoring of passed laws with respect to what our Constitution allows, to run for the NH … Read more
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroInterview with Dan Hynes
Another person that was roaming around the State House lawn before the ReOpenNH rally started was lawyer Dan Hynes. Like all the others, he had his reason for being there contra Governor Sununu’s stay-at-home orders; in order to exercise his First Amendment Right to Free Speech.
ReOpenNH Concord Rally – MicroIntervew with Pam Ean
Even though I have known her for years, I didn’t recognize Pam at ALL at last week’s ReOpenNH Rally at the State House in Concord – I guess the Govt’s demand (and for more, more about commonsense on my part) to be masked up is creating an “anonymous” society as no one knows who you … Read more
Everything NH Needs to Know About Councilor Andru Volinsky In One “Tweet”
New Hampshire Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky wants to be governor of New Hampshire. If you had any doubts about his qualifications, he has done us the favor of showing you who he really is.
Freedom of Speech is Now an Instrument of Terror on a College Campus
Once again, we see that Leftists don’t want Freedom of Speech and Ideas. They hate the idea that anyone is allowed to say what they want ESPECIALLY when it goes against their agenda, narrative, or beliefs. Just ask NH State Rep Jan Schmidt (D-Nashua) about this as she has actively done so.
Fame does not equal intelligence
In these troubled times, it is useful to examine, once again, the nature of actors (male or otherwise) who undertake to comment and expound on government, politics, elected officials, and our civic life generally. Those actors who seem to get the most attention and platforms (soapboxes) from the media these days are usually those who … Read more
Clinton FanBoy Wishes Her Hulu Documentary was Available in 2016 – Forgets About Overturning Citizens United
Most Democrats have no idea what it means when they yell out ‘Citizens United.’ It’s the generic in-party term for the corporate theft of elections and big money in politics. No, not by biased multi-billion-dollar corporate left-wing media silly, everyone else.
The NH Media Goes to Concord to Oppose HB1157 State Compelled Speech
Jack Flanagan’s bill to compel speech had a hearing yesterday and the New Hampshire media rose to the challenge. Jack, based on the reporting, stuck to his guns (that’s a figure of speech), but the Press had their say. HB 1157 violates the first amendment.
O’keefe and Vertias Challenge Mass Law In Court Today
In December of 2018, Project Veritas won a significant court battle in Massachusetts. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 272, § 99 (“Section 99”) placed a chilling effect on first amendment rights. Veritas challenged it and won. So, why are they back in court today?
Should We Force the Media to Write Corrections to Hate Crime Stories That are Hoaxes?
Most hate crimes are never resolved in the media. They are reported with formula hyperbole until the political feeding frenzy begins. If the loop later closes, the case concludes, these defenders of truth are not there to say that many if not most of them are hoaxes.
Concord Monitor shuts down commenting – lame excuses pour forth
BUMPED and UPDATED (from 4/23/18): from the CM at the bottom of this post: In searching for something else (and this happens all the time; go figure, with almost 35K posts in here), this popped up so I decided to add on a bit.
Preaching the Christian Gospel in Public Labeled Hate Speech
The war on Judeo-Christian faith, like the war on families and marriage, is about knocking down barriers to Marxism. I articulated it well enough here, so I won’t repeat those points. But they apply to this topic. A pastor has been charged with hate speech for preaching near homosexuals.
A Bleg – who is the BEST First Amendment Lawyer in NH?
I don’t care if it is someone on the Left that is a Liberal or on the Right that is a Conservative. All I care about is that their PASSION makes them the BEST defender of our First Amendment Rights in the State. The “why” will come later.
Let me see if I have this right
This coin was our first minted coin during colonial times; 1787 to be exact. Do you see what it says? MIND YOUR BUSINESS. The flip side says WE ARE ONE. I wonder how many people actually believe that these days.
Free Speech Tolerates Hate Speech
It has always been the America position that free speech is an opportunity to enlighten ignorance. Do you think the First Amendment should be rewritten? Do you think it is a good idea to crackdown on free speech, as well as the press?
Has the ACLU Jumped It’s Last “Shark?”
The ACLU used to be good for something. By which I mean it made some small effort to actually defend bits of the constitution. Like, free speech. But has this last vestige of function been excised by the #Wokeasaurus?
