A New Hampshire Democrat Executive Councilor has a problem when it comes to New Hampshire’s students and federal funding. Some students and their educations, in her mind, are “more equal” than others.

Is it Time to Amend Article 10 of the NH State Constitution?
I have what I feel I a much-needed solution to our so-called pandemic takeover of New Hampshire citizen’s rights. It is rather simple, as all laws should be.
New Hampshire’s Economy is so Far Ahead BECAUSE our “Green Economy” is so Far Behind
Democrats are whining because New Hampshire has “been slow to embrace the ‘economic benefits’ of clean energy and clean transportation.” Has it occurred to them that this rejection is why New Hampshire has the most robust economy in the Northeast?

Ovide Lamontagne was on WMUR’s Close Up this past Sunday (and yes, I DVR it and yes, I forgot that I had transcribed this, so putting it up now. Josh McElveen, trying to wheedle out of Ovide whether or not he’s going to run for a specific office this time around. Here, he tries to … Read more
So How’s that “Just Sign An Affidavit” Thing Working Out?
According to the Pew Research Center 5,424 voters lacking proper ID signed affidavits swearing they were New Hampshire residents eligible to vote under state law last November.
As of January 11, 2,266 of the postcards had been returned, and 211 letters were returned as undeliverable. The secretary of state’s office will look into each undeliverable letter, and if an explanation cannot be determined, a list of affidavits needing further investigation will be compiled and sent to the attorney general’s office.
I can provide at least one explanation and it’s called Voter Fraud.
How About a Cocktail Tax?
A social services advocacy group called New Futures recently promoted a study that suggested a cost recovery tax per drink on all cocktails in New Hampshire. They (or the study they promoted) claim that excessive drinking costs the state as much as 1.15 billion per year. The tax could/would, help offset those costs.
New Hampshire has a large percentage of the population that drinks alcohol but the primary source of the expense appears to be binge drinking, which I have discovered is another moving target on the social sciences spectrum. According to the CDC, binge drinking (for women) was recently changed–for reporting purposes–to four or more drinks on any one occasion.
That’s like calling binge-shopping visiting four or more stores on any one occasion. Women can sit and talk for hours making four drinks more like one per hour, which in the real world is called “nursing.”

Amherst New Hampshire’s Problems…Are there? Problems?
A few days ago I asked…”what are the Amherst New Hampshire Selectman Hiding.” The Selectman were playing games with 91-a, the Granite State’s right to know law, to hide the abrupt absence of the town administrator. My good friend Ed Naile (over at NH Insider) spent some quality time with the Amherst meeting minutes and … Read more
Why We Can’t Have A Discussion With New Hampshire Democrats
Over at my other haunt, NH Insider, my Fridge mag cross-post elicited the following response from Democrat Jim Splaine on the matter of gun ownership, which exemplifies the reason why any discussion with Democrats on any subject is unlikely.
Why can’t we have a real discussion about this issue? Just like the myths of an “$800 million deficit,” or that “Obamacare is socialized medicine” (whereas it’s mostly privatized), or that “gay marriage is a slippery slope,” there a new myth a-brewing among the Tea Partiers and right-wingers that President Obama and the Democrats are after everyone’s guns.
We cannot have a discussion because the 800 million dollar deficit is not a myth, the goal of Obamacare is a government-run single-payer system, the slope is slippery because Democrats lied about their goals and intentions, and Diane Feinstein has legislation right now that includes gun grabbing language.
Real discussions begin in reality. Democrats refuse to begin in the real world preferring the one they’ve created to explain what they claim to believe. And you can’t negotiate with madmen.
Ask A New Hampshire Democrat: About The Hostage Situation
There are those among us who are concerned that New Hampshire sends more federal tax dollars out of the state than it gets back. The same people, typically Democrats and Moderate Republicans, argue for more Federal meddling in state affairs. The same people who also complain about “out of state influence” in local elections.
If you send more money to DC so you can then act the hero when we get it back, complete with strings attached, other sources of out of state money will find those people and try to keep them in office so that central planners can milk all 50 teats for as much as possible and then sit in on the “hostage negotiations” when you want or need some of it back.
But wouldn’t this make more sense?
Reality Check: NH Democrat’s Nancy Pelosi Values are not New Hampshire Values
Democrats have tried to lay claim to New Hampshire values but that’s not going to happen. New Hampshire is about liberty, Live free or Die, local control, small government, and no broad based taxes, just like the TEA party. Tea Party values are about defending the Constitution and rule of law, small and accountable government, low taxes and free markets. NH Democrats are keen on painting a different picture, not just because they can’t run on their own records but because the root for their values is too freighting for them to acknowledge…
They have Nancy Pelosi Values.
New Hampshire Democrat values are Nancy Pelosi values, extreme left social and economic values that just two years ago they were actually proud of. Values that are nothing like New Hampshire values…so what has changed in the past two years? Nothing. But they will do or say anything to get back into power.
Terrie Norelli and Sylvia Larsen: Jealous!?
Late in the 2007 session, when Democrats controlled the the entire New Hampshire State Government for the first time in 95 years, then House Speaker Terri “Billion Dollar Deficit’ Norelli and Senate President Sylvia Larsen, figured the beginning of a recession was a great time to add a $72,000.00 bathroom remodel on to the backs … Read more
