Ask A NH Democrat – About Free Speech

September 26, 2018September 17, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

A private citizen made a lousy YouTube video about six months ago. A few days ago islamo-fascists used it as a vehicle to inflame Muslim uprisings. Under the cover of same, Americans were killed, or in some cases executed. The Obama Administration’s response to the killings was to send the police out in the dark of night and collect the man they believe responsible for making the video.

Muslims, living in third world arm-pits, are familiar with this strategy. People disappearing in the night when they have displeased those in power by saying something that has made them look bad. They do not have free speech. But we do. Well, we are supposed to.

So ask a New Hampshire Democrat…

On Not being California…

September 26, 2018August 19, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is not California. We are not California because with the exception of 2007-2010, we try to avoid letting Democrats run the entire state government. (We’re also not Massachusetts for that same reason.) And this is good, because while Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has now implemented “cost controls” for Healthcare providers in his state, guaranteeing(long term) less access, longer waits and poorer service, California is a bloody disaster.

The tax and spend, unsustainable pension and benefits, land of environmental extortion, saw sales tax revenue drop 33.5% last month. While but one small part of the problem that is “California” all the problems can be linked directly to things that New Hampshire Democrats want you to experience right here in the Granite State.

Democrat Hypocrites And Union Hacks

September 26, 2018July 26, 2012

by Rick Olson

“Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue.” —Francois de La Rochefoucauld It was an eventful week for city Democrats. This past Sunday, State rep Garrity plead not guilty to assault charges (D) Hillsborough District 14, alleging he assaulted his ex-wife and another at the East Manchester Fish & Game Club (which, I might add, is … Read more

Nothing Like A “Veto Day” To Bring Out Liberal Concern For Overtaxation

September 26, 2018June 27, 2012

by Rick Olson

“The same undisciplined government spending and social engineering that has undermined our economy over the past 30 years has also been tearing at the social fabric of this land.” —Stockwell Day

The New Hampshire House and Senate will vote today to override Governor John Lynch’s veto of two bills that sought to allow Granite State businesses to receive tax credits for donations to scholarship funds to help low and middle income students attend private and religious schools.

Of course, opponents of SB 372 and HB 1607 had lots to say about these bills, chief among them, Maggie, “The Red” Hassan. Hassan, as reported in the Union Leader said,

Moral Authority

September 26, 2018May 28, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire Democrat party and their fellow travelers have nothing to run on so the travails of one man in the New Hampshire House, DJ Bettencourt, are all they’ve got. Of course, he will no longer be in the NH House, a feature of his circumstances which we would never see from a New Hampshire Democrat, and therein lies the rub.

The New Hampshire Hypocrats have as much moral authority to point fingers at Bettencourt as NAMBLA would have it were ever to complain about Catholic Priests sexually abusing boys. Actually, the NH Democrats may have less.

The ‘Lamb On The Dole’ Enters The District 2 Senate Race

September 26, 2018April 17, 2012

by Rick Olson

“Even though I’m a leftist. I think the left eats its own.” —Ted Rall

“Liberal” Democrat Robert C. Lamb Jr. of Holderness has declared his candidacy for the Senate District 2 seat now held by Jeannie Forester.

Lamb skylined himself back in February when he argued in favor of keeping Holderness in District 2 with Ashland and Plymouth, as opposed to moving it to district 3 with Moultonborough and Wolfeboro. Ashland and Plymouth? Democrat leaning…Moultonborough and Wolfeboro? not so much.

A song honoring the Democrat majority in NH from 2007 through 2010…

Yes, this is the way the majority Democrats legislated—converted to an artistic, musical rendition—a veritable ode to what they did in New Hampshire from 2007 through 2010: [jwplayer mediaid=”20289″]

Vote on medical marijuana in the State Senate today

September 26, 2018March 28, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

There’s an article about the Republican-sponsored bill to allow medicinal marijuana use with a doctor’s counseling and prescription in today’s UL HERE.
So where does our 8-year Democrat Gov. John Lynch stand on the bill? He promises to veto the thing! Idiotic. Here’s my comment at the bottom of the Union Leader article:

Democrat Gov. Lynch is an idiot for supporting the failed and extremely harmful “war on some drugs”…

New Hampshire Democrats Hate Poor People

September 26, 2018March 22, 2012

by Steve MacDonald

Democrats are, as a party, against requiring an ID to vote. Everyone knows that. They argue that the poor, or minorities will be intimidated, or unable to engage in the electoral process if we expect them to have a photo ID. Not only do you need a picture ID to apply for Food Stamps in … Read more

Favorite pastime in New Hampshire? VOTE FRAUD!

September 26, 2018February 26, 2012

by Tim Condon

This from former state representative and former Dover City Council member Dave Scott, a Harvard MBA and bilingual former CEO of a multi-national corporation:

I am certain we have illegal registration in towns near the University of New Hampshire in Durham. We identified over 100 that voted improperly in Dover three years ago. We sent out letters to about 1,000 who voted for the first time. The post office returned those they were unable to deliver. Stamped on the envelope were such phases as No such street number, No such street address, No such person living at that street number. We sent them to Bud Fitch at the office of the Attorney General. No action.

That is, after the 2008 election, letters were sent out to 1,000 “first-time voters.” And are you surprised….?

The Shrill Kathy on Political Weirdness

September 26, 2018January 5, 2012

by Rick Olson

” The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.” —Marcus Tullius Cicero

The Union Leader has given Ink to the Shrill Kathy Sullivan for yet another inane senseless rant.

I told my friend Steve Vaillancourt it might be a New Year’s Resolution to simply ignore her. But in ignoring her, I think a final analysis is in order.

For all of the useless Pablum The Shrill Kathy has written, she is never lost on attacking anybody with a “R” attached to their name. The Shrill Kathy never criticizes the asinine or silly policies of her liberal friends. The Shrill Kathy never details anything positive coming from the Democratic Party as a juxtaposition to conservatives or Republicans.

The Shrill Kathy quips,

I also hope that 2012 is a year in which common sense, and not ideology, return to center stage, both in New Hampshire and the country as a whole. That is the only statement arguing for common sense in the whole rant.

The Shrill Kathy And The Birthers

September 26, 2018November 29, 2011

by Rick Olson

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” —Benjamin Franklin

Kathy Sullivan is not only dishonest, but she is also a rank charlatan. The Shrill Kathy is the epitome of moral bankruptcy when it comes to New Hampshire politics. In the UL today she quips, Why does Speaker O’Brien not call out his birthers? placing responsibility for the less than savory behavior of a few legislators squarely on his shoulders. So, let’s be clear about this because whatever “this” is, amounts to nothing more than another wanton pedestrian rant of the Shrill Kathy.

In prior writings, The Shrill Kathy calls out O’Brien alleging that he fails to respect the process and ignores long-standing rules. Yet here we see a circumstance where Orly Taitz asked for access and redress (due process) that our rules mandate must be provided. And the Shrill Kathy takes O’Brien to task for not stifling that process. Make up your mind! Sulli-Shrill… Which is it? O’Brien squelches? or O’Brien observes?
