Notable Quote – George Will

June 24, 2019 Skip

A progressive’s work is never done because everything is progressivism’s business. -George Will (The Conservative Sensibility) How true – they never stop in their efforts to institute top-down control because THEY don’t believe YOU can control your own life. They are, by mindset, unable to leave others alone. It’s like they think they’re royalty or sumptin…

This is getting to be as good as TreeHugger in finding out what Progressives really think and how (to use that Hillary word) “bossy” they can be.

So, NH State Rep Deb Stevens (Nashua-Progressive), how DO people evah make it out alive?

June 22, 2019June 22, 2019 Skip

Yet another valid question for Debra Stevens, ye of “ravenous gun culture” infamy – how did I ever do it: get out alive after going to 25 (or much more) gun show without even a scratch on my ever delicate skin? Just like millions upon millions every year? Hmmm, those guns just LAID there – … Read more

Notable Quote – It’s all about tolerance towards them until Power has been achieved

…Turning to the Equality Act, Biden said, “I promise you if I’m elected president it will be the first thing I ask to be done. It will send a message around the world, not just at home.” “This is our soul, da*mit, this is who we have to be… This is our real moral obligation,” … Read more

An entitled, precious, little snowflake

I’m not staying where I’m not welcome, by Abby Shepherd Sorry, but not sorry for any “entitlement” you think others owe you. And sorry – not sorry for not showing much sympathy as you people have given me compassion fatigue for all of the littlest details of life that are normally called “adulting” Sidenote: seriously, … Read more

“And I only have anti-science Progressives to thank for all my success – Hi Mom! (er, Dad??)!” (H/T: Powerline)

Notable Quote – Matthew Harwood (seconded by the Concord Monitor)

May 21, 2019 Skip

Much has rightly been made of the Green New Deal’s fuzzy-headed utopianism and its impossible goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero in 10 years. But we should also pay close attention to the plan’s authoritarian impulses, particularly in light of its historical inspirations: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and the command economy … Read more

And back to Peterborough we go – League of Women Voters trying to muck things up….again?

May 10, 2019May 9, 2019 Op-Ed

By Christopher Maidment Citizen Petition articles are likely nothing new to you, being good citizens of New Hampshire, but just in case, a citizen’s petition is when at least 25 citizens (under normal circumstances) gather signatures together and add an amendment to a town warrant. It’s a way of keeping the powers that be in … Read more

Hypocrite much? Fine for me but not for thee?

May 3, 2019 Skip

Socialism – where the powerful grow richer. And get “special” considerations. And want special privileges that they then wish to deny others access to. A few more: Pete gets to badmouth Christians (so much for tolerance) Joe thinks Republicans want to put black into chains Kirsten now wants to tax us in order for us … Read more

Democrat Dan Feltes is Fundraising off Defending His Party’s Theft of Your Income

May 2, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire State Budget is a big fat, bloated pig. The Democrats gave the state a 16.8% raise by proposing $418,000,000.00 (million dollars) in new taxes.

Wait, wait….the Left is complaining about….what?

SHOT: California Has the Nation’s Highest Gas Prices – Democrat Governor Has No Idea Why? CHASER: Isn’t This What The Left Have Wanted? Hi, Dr. Chu and Senator/Secretary Salazar! Let’s start with his Secretary of Energy, Dr Steven Chu. From our friends at the National Taxpayers Union: Somehow we have to figure out how to boost … Read more

Alleged Assault by NH Rep Debra Altschiller on Susan Olsen – Part 6 (take two)

April 18, 2019 Skip

And we come to the end of this series – and we finish off with a further discussion of the Left’s completely unhinged “projection”: And of course, these Progressives (NH State Rep Debra Altschiller and Zandra Rice-Hawkins) just had to try to turn the tables: Conservatives, take heed of Miss Susan’s response to these pusillanimous … Read more

Alleged Assault by NH Rep Debra Altschiller on Susan Olsen – Part 5

April 17, 2019 Skip

“I don’t know who said it ‘If they treat us this way knowing we are armed to the teeth, think of how they will treat us when we are not”. That was the quote by Susan Olsen at the end of Part 4. Here in Part 5, we hear more of the story including this … Read more

Notable Quote – Rod Dreher

April 9, 2019 Skip

I had mentioned to my foreign friend something I’ve heard from several of you readers of this blog who are conservative academics: that as long as old-school liberals remain in charge of faculties and academic institutions, there will be a place for right-of-center scholars. But when the Jacobin-like younger generation moves into leadership, that will … Read more

Why do Progressives call it “gun violence” and not “gun crime”?

April 9, 2019 Skip

Given what has (allegedly) happened to Susan Olsen again, a couple of quick thoughts. First, there ARE no “common sense” regulations – that is only a cover phrase for the continued civilian disarmament movement by the Progressives / Socialists. It is simply about control – they seem to have this belief that it is their God-given … Read more

With Joe Biden’s kissey-touchy all in the news this week…

April 7, 2019 Skip

From my standpoint, ALL of the above issues are far more important (and dangerous) than Biden not keeping his distance. Make no mistake, he’s a hard-core Democrat Liberal (just one step to the Right than the others) so he’s not someone to dismiss lightly when it comes to our Liberties. (H/T: Powerline)

So, is this what Aggressive Progressive Fear Nothing Dover Democrat Miz Frost believes?

Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder lets slip the Left’s true feelings about America

March 30, 2019March 30, 2019 Skip

And Veep Pence throws it back at him. SHOT: Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday appeared on MSNBC, where host Ari Melber asked him: “There is a lot of talk about America being a leader as a democracy, quote unquote, in the 1800s when women and African-Americans couldn’t vote. What kind of democracy is that?” … Read more

Civilian Disarmament bills: Progressives don’t care about results, only intent

February 18, 2019 Skip

HB101 and HB564 have to do with gun restrictions in school zones (or as I call these kinds of bills the Second Amendment’s death by a thousand cuts). NH Rep Sharon Nordgren’s testimony was reading a letter from a bunch of Progressives (and remember, Progressives is just a focus group redo of “Socialists”). This gave … Read more

Hold The Line – GrokInterview with Susan Olsen

February 14, 2019 Skip

Before all of the testimony on the Democrat Second Amendment infringing bills started, I caught up with the Womens’ Defense League honchos (and Groksters!) Kimberly Morin and Susan Olsen who graciously agreed to spend a few minutes with GraniteGrok. Here, Susan Olsen shares her thoughts with me what these bills would do to the Live … Read more
