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.

Free Stuff … It’s Worth What You Pay for It
Free stuff is usually worth what you pay for it. There is no such thing as free education. Someone is always going to pay for it. The question is should each person pay for their own?
We Hire Presidents to Defend Constitutional Values
I thought the term Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was just a tongue-in-cheek way of referring to those who didn’t support President Trump. You know, it’s not really a clinical diagnosis, just a joke. Looking at the so-called news and the recent flurry of letters in the Sun, I’m not so sure anymore.
Are you going to work for free to pay for all of this?
According to “Main Stream Media,” President Trump is corrupt and evil, if so where is the evidence of that? Look, there have been numerous charges leveled at him. And any number of non-official and at least four official investigations.
Wouldn’t it be Wonderful?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a cure for all things that ail us? Perhaps we could make the cure from divine fruit. What do you think? Should the cure be fair to the eye? Would it be inviting to the palate? Would it grant us the virtue of wisdom?
Biff Burt is onto something
Some of you have seen ads like the one above, for presidential candidate Biff Burt. In this one, he promises free ammunition to all Americans if they elect him president. In a different ad, he promises to give away money.
You Don’t Want What Socialism Promises
by Joseph Mendola | As I drive to work each day, I sometimes see bumper stickers that say “Feel the Bern” – and then I wonder what people think about the consequences of socialism. Socialism is a system of economic policy that says that government is a better allocator of a nation’s resources than the … Read more
What have you got in your wallet?
Time for a progress review We are living with Democrat majorities here in New Hampshire’s House, Senate and Executive Council as well as in the House of Representatives in the District of Columbia. Let’s take this opportunity to examine what the people have got to show for the most recent election. Here in New Hampshire … Read more
Ubitopia
Suddenly, it’s everywhere. Lately I’ve even heard even libertarians suggesting that it might be a good idea to provide a Universal Basic Income (UBI) to replace the buffet of specific welfare programs that are now available to people who can’t afford things like housing (Section 8), heat (LIHEAP), medical care (Medicaid), food (SNAP), and so on.
This idea is a classic example of what Thomas Sowell calls ‘stage one thinking’, which is the apparent inability (or unwillingness) to appreciate that actions have consequences, and consequences propagate.
(Yes, I know that Milton Friedman advocated for a negative income tax, which is one type of universal basic income. But Friedman also advocated for income tax withholding, which has turned into what we might call ‘the opiate of the taxes’.)
Free For Me But Not For Thee
In reporting on New Hampshire House Bill HB 514 –An Act relating to giving legislators a free ride–WMUR reports that it a) came out of committee with instructions to kill it (this is good) but b) that supporters of the bill claim that Members skiing for free at Canon Mountain–the Bill’s real purpose–doesn’t add costs to the Ski areas.
Supporters argue that lawmakers have open access to state parks which promotes awareness of the locations.
They say skiing at Cannon doesn’t add costs to the ski area and encourages members to experience that part of New Hampshire culture.
WMUR
Yes, of course. And that is, after all, why we elected them. Though I do have some lingering questions…
Uh…who’s gonna pay for all the Free Stuff?
Just asking….
National Media Theme: Voting Block Is Becoming Less White
Imagine a judicial nominee said ‘my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.’ Wouldn’t they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism. —Newt Gingrich
The vote is in. Obama is still President. The Republican establishment got exactly what they wanted: Romney as a candidate; a losing candidate. And despite their tireless inane mantra during the primaries exclaiming, “Romney is the only guy who can beat Obama” So what be the post-game analysis now? Romney lost. Romney was never a conservative. He said he was a conservative but we all knew differently…and like so many others we voted for him because voting for Obama was not an alternative for us.
But the real story here is what the biased, liberal in-the-bag lamestream media has to say about it the morning after: America, because it is less white, voted for Obama.
Yes, this kinda sums up the Obama campaign
