Let’s say you believe that everything belongs to the State. Nothing you do with yourself nor the product of any labor can ever belong to the person who did the work. Not just that you didn’t build it, but you couldn’t. Now consider how the political party pushing those ideas had made it impossible for people of color to own anything.

Property
Notable Quote – “Property Is a “Powerful Antidote to Unfettered Selfishness.”
One of the Pillars of our American Constitutional Republic is that of the Right of Private Property. What is mine, IS mine – and not yours. Nor is it yours to take or to lay claim to it in any way.
Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch – Venice Beach Edition
Maybe you’ve heard me say it. Democrats destroy everything they touch. It’s true, and they can’t help proving me right. Venice Beach, California. World Famous Venice Beach. Decades of Left-wing rule have reduced it to a crime-riddled dumpster fire.
The Truth Shall Set You Free
Today we see the results of years and years of secularist attacks on religion. There has been a denial of eternal truths and the exclusion of religion and morality from public life. But here’s the rub. You can’t have the freedom to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. Not unless you have morality.
Are you a Marxist/Anarchist/Islamist bent on ending America?
America has always been accepting of the fact that we are made of many. Our motto is “E pluribus unum,” from many one. There was a reason that was important enough to put on our currency. But, we aren’t reading our history.
No Police No Problem … Really?
No shirt, No shoes, No police, No problem. Cities deciding to cut their police funding should stop and ask: Who was Jimmy Hoffa? Maybe they could be cutting their own supply lines. Would that be an issue? What percentage of food, hardware, lumber, electrical supplies, etc. comes by a truck?

The Republican Party Doesn’t Have a Brand Problem – It has a Messaging Problem
It should not be a secret. Democrats and their experts are social engineers. They use government force (higher taxes, regulation, and policy) to control your behavior. Not toward your interests or what you believe improves you or your life, but to use you to advance their priorities and state power.
Is Porn the Embodiment of the Liberal Political Agenda?
Porn addiction, like all addictions, ruin relationships. And like drug use, these are not victimless crimes. And I don’t mean crime in the legal sense. More its impact on the foundation of the culture and the nation. One built on families whose survival demands certain morals and values.
Entering the mind of John Locke – The Purpose of Government
We have almost completely lost the understanding of the purpose of government. Republicans and Democrats alike, fight over policy, but who is right? We have plenty of sources we can look to to find our path to prosperity. And I don’t just mean financially, but morally & spiritually.
Welcome to Islamic State of North America

This theocracy is religious state government with centralized control by an autocratic, authoritarian, dictatorial, despotic hierarchy under one ruler. According to an Art Moore World News Daily article a … Read more
If You Put Things in Harm’s Way, Yes, Those Things WILL be Harmed Eventually
New Hampshire Business Review recently published an otherwise innocuous piece titled: Report: Over 9,000 NH homes at risk of major storm surge. The report calculates likely property damage given certain weather events. Given the climate narratives of recent years, I was suspicious.
The New Hampshire Democrat Party War On “You!”
Every day you use the income you earned to improve the lives of others. You “create and save” jobs with your choices and stimulate the economy. New Hampshire Democrats exist to take that power away.
Granite State Fair Tax Spins And Spins And Spins
Mark Fernald is pimping for the misleadingly named Granite State Fair Tax Coalition (GSFTC). This is a group of tax and spend liberals (their fellow travelers and useful idiots) who are trying get an income tax.
To sell you on this Utopian elixir of piss, GSFTC argues that New Hampshire’s property taxes favor the rich, and most recently have sent out a pile of nonsense with some misleading graphs, through Fernald’s email list to make the sale. But as usual it is spun upside down and backwards and ignores one very unassailable fact. New Hampshire has one of the lowest overall tax burdens in the nation because it relies on property taxes. And the rich are not paying less for their share of State government.
Government is a necessary (preferably limited) evil, laid out like a salad bar. There are all kinds of services your tax dollars pay for. Some of them are for “just in case kinds of things” like public safety. Then there are roads and schools and clerks and so on. And then there are unemployment, welfare, heating aid, and a host of social support services, and the cost of the bureaucracy itself.
By law these services are made available to everyone equally based on need so the folks most likely to consume government services are lower income residents. Statistically, the less you earn, the more of the salad bar you are likely to need or eat from and the more trips you are likley to make in a given year. But no matter what you earn, or where you live, or how well you live, you still only get one plate–and you pay for that plate in the form of taxes.
The GSFTC would like you to believe that the rich are paying less for that plate. To perpetrate this deception they use "taxes paid as a percentage of income" to make their case. Their argument is that the rich only pay about 2% of their income as taxes while the poorer folks pay over 8% (Roughly), and that this is unfair. But is that really the case? Are the rich paying less money for a trip to the New and Improved State Government Salad Bar or is GSFTC just playing class warfare games?
