At the Northwood Community Center, Ian Underwood gave a presentation on educational funding that basically told the audience that we were thinking about the wrong thing.

As I said in the past, Ian makes my head ache. How? By making me think from and in different directions. Now, normally people hate having headaches but this is of a different kind – and trust me, it is good for you to think outside one’s normal patters. And that’s again, what Ian started … Read more
“Taxpayers should be funding public benefits and not private enrichment. At the Northwood Community Center, Ian Underwood gave a presentation on educational funding that basically told the audience that we were thinking about the wrong thing.

Join us to hear the visions of our two speakers, … Read more
Such is the keen intellect of Democrat Rep. Sherry Frost. In one tweet she unmasks the left’s flawed argument for civilian disarmament. The fantasy about good guys with guns is hers, but they’ll disarm you anyway. And if you complain they’ll take to Twitter to feed tripe to their liberal followers who want citizen-victims dependent on a … Read more
Well, at least the Committee chuckled at Ian’s jokes – most of the audience, with sour pusses on their collective visage, was not amused. Why? Given that one was Laurie Melanson (Superintendent SAU 23/Haverhill and with whom I had a light “jousting match” before the meeting).

It’s always great to have Ian Underwood joins us and this was no exception. We’ve got the Shaolin Rifleworks, the serenity of self-defense, the lefts lack of limiting principles, Senator David Pierce (again) this time encapsulating the violence of progressive government; then a great discussion about principles vs outcome.
If you only have time to listen to one segment, this is it. Ian Underwood joins us to take the distractions out of the debate (almost any debate, actually); words mean something and if you are going to keep changing the meanings of words there is no reason to even write laws and no reason … Read more
