What Government is ALLOWING you to do…

May 16, 2020May 16, 2020 Skip

The large number of rules lifted by federal, state and local governments in response to this pandemic reveals the sad reality that many regulations serve little to no good public purpose. Hopefully, people will realize how counterproductive these rules were and will not allow them to be reinstated after the crisis is over. In the … Read more

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR MOTHER. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR FATHER. THEY CAN NEITHER SEND YOU TO YOUR ROOM HOUSE, NOR SHOULD THEY GIVE YOU AN ALLOWANCE. AND IT’S CERTAINLY NOT THEIR JOB TO PROTECT YOU FROM DISEASE. WASH YOUR HANDS. IF YOU’RE VULNERABLE WATCH YOUR INTERACTIONS. AND FOR THE LOVE OF BOB, GROW UP: … Read more

The Flu Versus Freedom

March 31, 2020

There are many media talking heads spinning the situation but there is nothing new in the new flu. This one is like all the others, some more contagious and some less. Some are more deadly and some are less. In the end, it is another flu.

Sunshine Week Should Be About Government and Media Transparency

March 18, 2020 Steve MacDonald

March 15th to March 21st is Sunshine week. It is an annual affair designed to focus on protecting, expanding, ensuring transparency from the American Government. An ideal we live for and work to protect. But what about media transparency?

The permanent tourniquet

February 17, 2020 Ian Underwood

A tourniquet can be a lifesaver when serious bleeding is occurring. But when the bleeding has stopped — when the source of the problem has been identified, and fixed — you remove the tourniquet. Otherwise, you risk developing gangrene in the limb that needs the blood supply that you’ve just cut off. At least, that’s how it works in medicine. In politics, we just leave the tourniquet in place indefinitely.

If You Tax It, They Won’t Come

January 4, 2020January 3, 2020 Kevin Scully

Two of our very own Nashua State Reps., “Skip” Cleaver and Mark King, are making yet another run at your wallets in the form of a sales tax (HB 1492). For you baseball movie fans, if this bill were a movie, I’d call it “Field of Schemes.”

Residents of an Ohio Town Just Dissolved their Local Government

December 4, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire constitution is unique. It took to heart, literally, language in the Declaration of Independence. Article 10 gives the people a right to dissolve the government. A town in Ohio just did that.

South Dakota Taxpayers shell out $450k to Declare “We’re on Meth”

November 19, 2019 Jim Kofalt

File this under #GovernmentFail… a shining example of just how badly people can screw something up when they are spending other people’s money, for the purported benefit of someone else. (See Milton Friedman’s Four Ways to Spend Money.)

Entering the mind of John Locke – The Purpose of Government

November 14, 2019 Josh Moore

We have almost completely lost the understanding of the purpose of government. Republicans and Democrats alike, fight over policy, but who is right? We have plenty of sources we can look to to find our path to prosperity. And I don’t just mean financially, but morally & spiritually.

Pediocracy

October 29, 2019October 28, 2019 Ian Underwood

Maybe it was because I’d seen Steve’s post in the morning, but today I had one of those Aha! moments where something that never seemed to make sense suddenly did. And it happened while I was playing Zombie with my grandkids at Homeschool Gym.

More Reasons Why CO² Isn’t Causing Climate Change and Government Can’t ‘Fix It’

June 22, 2023October 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We should pity the floundering liberals who blindly worship the cult of their god-king state. The entity that devours natural rights in exchange for a promise. That if you give it money and power, it can move the earth and save humanity.
