Most people are familiar with the famous line from a newspaper editorial written more than 100 years ago. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” is found in the published response to a letter sent by eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon.

Compassion and Benevolence of Sanctuary Cities
To those who have been following the nightmare on our southern border over the past two years, it’s utterly inconceivable that anyone in America would be unaware of the problem.
Democrats: They Burnt Out “Progressive”, Then “Liberal”, Transitioned Back to “Progressive”, but Now To…..”Populist”
Meanwhile, Conservatives and Libertarians continue to use, well, Conservatives and Libertarians to signal their political philosophies. Democrats, on the other hand, keep making a hash in what they are.
Another Eatery Exposing Liberal Lunacy
As we watch the violence and unabated crime spreading like cancer across our country, it’s hard to believe that so many on the left still embrace the lunatic, anti-police hysteria causing it. But sfgate.com recently reported on another case of liberal ideology replacing common sense.
Poisoning the Minds of Future Generations with CRT
It seems that liberals have again come up with another cure for the ills of society. They see critical race theory (CRT) as the elixir needed to treat Americans suffering from an acute ailment, one they didn’t even know they had – incurable systemic racism. By the turn of the 21st century, most people believed … Read more
We Have Been Watching Rioting Vandalism and Bullying
America, we have been watching rioting, vandalism, and bullying opponents into silence. There have been calls to defund the police and abolish the Electoral College. The Democrat Party is trying to remake America. These Leftists hate America. It is they who are the haters, racists, vandals, and bullies.
Who is Bari Weiss?
Who is Bari Weiss? And why should you care? Leftists thrive on the facade of lies. They make everyone subscribe to them. They require a belief that there is no absolute truth. Everyone knows that absolute truth exists. We should all reject leftist ideology, but we don’t.
No Kindness, Friendship or Tolerance Allowed
Outrage Required. No Kindness, Friendship or Tolerance Allowed. Does it just make you angry when someone you don’t agree with very much says something really good? Well, Ellen DeGeneres is guilty of extending a hand in friendship. That is a good thing. What’s worse is, it is logically consistent with her values and principles. While … Read more
Will reality have any real effect on political debate?
The conservative/liberal debate is interesting because both terms are undefined. It’s healthy to have this debate. But what exactly is the debate today? The terms have any meaning anyone wants to assign them, any time they feel like using them. Which is to say, they are utterly useless except as pejoratives.
Islam Hates the West… What’s the right Response?
Do you believe that a reform of Islam is necessary? Perhaps the questions are: Is Islamic reform possible? And if it is possible how can it be accomplished? Only Muslims can make reform a reality. Knowing the questions does not solve the problem We in the West cannot remain on the sidelines. It is not … Read more
Classical Liberal = Republican
The assertion: No classical liberal can, in America today, be member of the Democrat Party. Why? Because the ideology of the party does not allow free speech, free thought, debate or criticism of party dogma. As a democrat, it is an all or nothing proposition today . You either accept the dogma… or you are … Read more
Leftism Eradicates Character
Leftists tend to hold America in contempt. They prefer socialism to capitalism and regard all white people and police as racist. To them the Bible, Christianity, and Judaism are not only nonsense, but dangerous nonsense. There is an implicit adherence to a belief that men and women are not inherently different or even that male … Read more
Dean Trefethen – Dover, Only NH Mayor To Stand with Nanny Bloomberg
First, thanks to Kathleen LaBonte, who pointed out in the comments for this post, ‘Legal Gun Owners Against Stupid Gun Grabbing Mayors,‘ that Dover, New Hampshire Mayor Dean Trefethen is the only mayor in all of New Hampshire to climb on board Mike ‘Buckshot’ Bloomberg’s anti-gun owner clown car.
Trefethen has signed on to “mayorsagainstillegalguns.org.”
Really? Mayors Against Illegal Guns? Illegal guns. Bloomberg is such an arrogant ass. Every law abiding gun owner is against illegal guns so I’m reasonably certain (reasonably) that every mayor is as well; except perhaps for Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel of the ‘please just don’t touch the children fame,’ who may be the only U.S. mayor on public record for demonstrating that it is possible for a cities chief executive to couch gun related gang violence in terms of when he’s really really REALLY against illegal gun use. Hey- No shooting at each other when there are kids around? Got it?
Liberal definition of Compassion
Dontcha just love it when Liberals think that something is “compassionate” they DEMAND that everyone has to be “compassionate”; is forcing someone to be compassionate upon a demand truly an act of compassion? (H/T: Liberal Logic 101)
Liberals promote Government Not Liberty
To the Editor,
Leo Sandy’s December 11th letter in the Laconia Daily Sun shows how commonly understood terms can be used to mislead people.
While each form of government has a unique aspects, the key issue is government‘s authority over people. At one end of a spectrum are governments which have absolute control over citizens, where, in practice, people have no rights (despite perhaps a showpiece Constitution). If you are arrested and executed or your property taken without a real trial, it doesn’t matter if the government calls itself a dictatorship, Kingdom, Socialist, Fascist, National Socialist (Nazi), Democracy, Republic, Communist, etc.
Would it make any difference if you were being murdered by Hitler, along with about 10 million, or Stalin, with about 20 million, or Mao, with 80 million fellow citizens (or Che or Fidel who killed thousands)? Each murderer claiming it was for “the good of the people“.
At the other end of the spectrum is no government, anarchy, where people have total freedom. Anarchy never lasts long, strongmen normally take total control over people. (Our Constitution defines a government intended to ensure each person’s freedom except when it infringes on another’s freedom and leaving ultimate control of government in the hands of the people not government officials.)
Whether you want to put Fascism on the left or right of the spectrum, it sits with other dictatorships, Communist, Socialist, Nazi, (traditional) Kingdoms, etc., and these forms of government are opposed by all American Conservatives, “right wingers”.
The American supporters and admirers of Socialist and Communist governments are liberals. They will quibble over definitions, ownership of the means of production, etc., but from the standpoint of average citizen’s rights versus the government, there is no meaningful difference between Communism and Fascism.
