MACDONALD: Just In Case You Didn’t Know.

Remember the halcyon days of the TEA Party movement. It was so organic that the left lost its mind. They called it astroturf, even using the IRS to suppress it before the 2012 elections. And they tried to astroturf their own version. And threaded throughout, and ever since, there have been accusations that people who … Read more

SMITH: Painted Rocks And Cognitive Dissonance?

I will start by saying some kind words about a former FB friend, Comrade Ellen McDowell Ruggles.  She’s a friendly older woman that I’ve crossed paths with in social circles of mutual interest, particularly hiking and paddling.  Sadly, I found it in my best interest to cut ties with most of my fellow paddlers and … Read more

MACDONALD: “The Vaccine Schedule” as a Warning

You might be able to pass it off as another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or the progressive knee-jerk reaction that requires them to want the opposite of anything and everything the Trump Administration promotes. Pregnant women should be careful with Tylenol, as it might affect their unborn baby. That’s them, so when Secretary Kennedy … Read more

RHODES: Managerialism or Self Government?

The real battleground The existential yearnings emerging inside the hearts and minds of people throughout the world—yearnings that no doubt have existed since time began, though not always consciously realized—are stirring like the struggle of a chrysalis.

Karstens: The Narcissism Of Tribalism

A nation divided against itself cannot stand,” said Abraham Lincoln. Sadly, I think that’s precisely the point.  I recently flew with my friend Bill Maher to DC, where he was to have dinner with the Bad Orange Man. I was not attending the dinner, I was just along for the ride…but I was wholeheartedly in … Read more

From Leninism to Social Democracy: A Guide to Socialist Models

Discussing socialism is difficult, not only because of the many different varieties that have been proposed, but also because its definition is highly malleable. In debates socialists often shift between different interpretations—sometimes emphasizing state control, other times focusing on worker cooperatives or social safety nets—depending on what best suits their argument at the time. Broadly, … Read more

125th Playing Of The Game & 1,500 Days And Posts

I could not think of a more upbeat topic to discuss on the day I mark my 1,500 article. I started posting on Conservative View From New Hampshire four years ago when I felt a need to help promote the conservative view of political happenings, formulate and express my thoughts, and stimulate conversation and debate. … Read more

“Tradition Is Not the Worship of Ashes, but the Preservation of Fire.”

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts is featured in the most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. The topic is “Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order.” He opens with this. The top-down, elitist brand of politics that has dominated the United States since the end of the Cold War—under Republican and Democratic administrations alike—has failed. Yes, we … Read more

I Said, NH Was Trending Right – But The Entire Country Has Too!

Back in August, I noted that NH Republicans had pulled to a practical parity with the Democrats in voter registration this past year: Interesting.  I was actually scurrying around the NH Secretary of State site looking for something else (dang if I can remember now) when I thought this was what I wanted. It wasn’t … Read more

The Context Behind Donald Trump’s “Takeover” of the American Right

Donald Trump’s victory in last week’s election reinforced the impression that he and his followers have “taken over” the Republican party. The campaign saw Republicans like Liz and Dick Cheney switch sides and back the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Now—after Trump won a second term—the right is locked in an impassioned struggle to pressure the … Read more

It’s Good to Be Right

kensley It’s OK to be right wing Yes, that’s correct— there’s nothing bad about being Right wing. US citizens and many all around the world have for decades been attacked by corporatist propagandists who slander the political Right. Correspondingly, the very nature of being on the Right entails conservative mentality— tolerance, turning the other cheek, … Read more

What Happened to True Liberalism?

Unfortunately, liberals have become mostly wacko. That is why ‘Liberal’ has become a word with negative connotations. The extreme religious right wing has always been the core of right-wing wackos. The transformation of liberals into “Karens” has been the failure of the mainstream liberals to maintain a core of self-respecting people who, in general, just want to help people.

Bold and Unscrupulous

In the 1970s, the moral wit of Tom Anderson precisely describes today’s rush toward economic suicide in Washington, DC: “Changing Nelson Rockefeller for Hubert Humphrey is like changing the pins on a soiled diaper without changing the diaper; you continue to get the same mess.”

Frank Edelblut Should Get Back in the Race

In September, Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut spoke to the Brentwood Republican Committee. I don’t hang out there, but Frank had just announced his non-candidacy for Governor, and a neighbor and fellow Grokster was aching to understand the skullduggery behind the move and offered me a ride to the event. Frank gave a talk, not on … Read more

Voting is Bad for Democracy

A White Tower stooge has published an article in the New York Times suggesting that America might be better off if it bailed on the popular vote. Given the recent trajectory, who could blame anyone for thinking that?
