“We Fought Because We’d Always Governed Ourselves and Always Meant To”
Ned Ryan, the founder of American Majority, gave a great speech at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend Last November. Words bout the parallels between the years prior to the American Revolution in 1776 and our current political circumstances in 2022.
Revolution – To the Barricades!
My, oh my, who’d-a thought in these days of BLM and Antifa that NH’s own Jeanne Shaheen, thriving attorney Bill Shaheen’s famous spouse, would raise a fist, a la the disgraced former Winter Soldier John Kerry and his now infamous Ghengis Khan speech and his invocation of arms and legs and of heads held aloft, and she’d shout “Revolution!”
Senator Jeannie Calls For Political Violence If Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade
Imagine if a GOP Executive Councilor or State Senator implied political violence … “a revolution” … would be appropriate if the New Hampshire Supreme Court did not overturn its obviously erroneous education funding decisions. Imagine if a GOP candidate for CD-1 said exactly what Jeannie says below…
Not Guilty!
Well, after seeing the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on TV I feared leftist pressure would pervert our justice system. However, twelve people, good and true, pronounced him “not guilty” on all counts.

America Full Circle – From a Place to Escape Religious Persecution to Persecuting You for Your Faith
Ed shared the screenshot. The Department of Homeland Security has hijacked Jeff Foxworthy’s bit; if this… You Might Be A Redneck. But instead of redneck, they use the term terrorist. IF … you celebrate religious holidays …You might be a potential terrorist.

TreeHugger Letting the Mask Drop – Are You a Subject or a Citizen?
I spent a lot of my time today playing chauffeur to TMEW (she drives very little nowadays) and the Grandson (at 5 yo, wants to but…). Far more than I expected. The rest of the time, I discovered that after a period of relatively non-controversial posts, TreeHugger had taken a hard left-hand turn.
The Perils of Revolution
One of those bits of reading I suggest people revisit often is ‘America’s Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution.’ Written in 2010 by Angelo Codevilla, it emerged at the height of the Tea Party response to a Democrat Majority Congress and Barack Obama’s Presidency.
When Your Revolution Comes for You – Will You Miss Me Then?

From Percy’s post “Compliance Is Not Part of the U.S. Constitution.” CaptDMO: Gosh, in NH, compliance isn’t part of the State Constitution. Last time I checked, revolt IS.
Tyranny Looms If We Do Not Respond
We should understand tyranny looms if we do not respond. Ms. Bari says editors live in fear of offending this orthodoxy. Writers are careful lest they ruin their careers. The Times plays it so safe in accepting op-eds Twitter has become the “ultimate editor.”
Police: “You are on your own.” Civilian Disarmament Groups: Why is Everyone Buying Guns?
Why are all the gun grabbers are confused that the number of people buying gun sales and taking firearms training classes have gone off the charts? Wait for it: Police Tell Business Owners in Seattle ‘You’re on Your Own.’

“Flattening the Curve” on Liberty – Today It’s Statues, Tomorrow it’s People
Anyone who thinks the Left’s latest tantrum has anything to do with discrimination or justice for minorities is in for a surprise. The Left never does anything for anyone but itself. And all you are doing is helping them.
