So, who made YOU the Grand-PoohBa of “Responsible Digital Citizenship”, Superintendent Kirk Beitler?

December 19, 2021

by Skip

Yes, he’s back from his leave. And he’s taking a rip against “misinformation”, fear, and feelings. Right. He wants to be the Grand Arbiter of what is “responsible digital citizenship” yet he’s all in on Coerced Speech when it comes to enforcing that the rest of us must allow our speech to be coerced when … Read more

Gilford School Board – 6/8/21 Masks, Dillon’s Rule State, Policy JBAB, Powers, Rights

June 16, 2021

by Skip

Last Tuesday was the latest Gilford School Board Meeting. While it wasn’t quite as contentious as what has been happening elsewhere in NH lately, I’d like to think that I’m trying to point out that School Board members aren’t doing their due diligence from a Legal / Policy standpoint.

Lying to Parents – Superintendent’s Response is Sheer Laziness – Beitler restarts “the pattern”

May 28, 2021May 28, 2021

by Skip

A bit of a recap here: The Gilford School Board, in its Policy JBAB, codifies Lying to Parents, either by commission or omission, when it comes to their children relative to their gender dysphoria/transgenderism.

Data Point – Faces of Mass Murderers

March 25, 2021March 25, 2021

by Skip

We hear a lot lately in the political world that Whites are THE source of domestic terrorism and by reclassifying of the grocery shooter, Al Aliwi Alissa (the refugee from Syria) as White, they continue the Narrative. Problem is, as you can see above, the actual 2019 Data above blows up the Narrative. And so … Read more

February 18, 2021February 18, 2021

by Ian Underwood

Why is it Leftists tell each other they need surveillance, isolation and censorship of people like me? Yes, we are people who vote for candidates who run in opposition to Party rule. Let me posit to you: it is not we that are the danger; it is thee.

The Radical Egalitarians And Their Rival Constitution

January 2, 2021January 2, 2021

The U.S. Constitution, the one the founders wrote, holds that all men are created equal. We are endowed by our “nature and nature’s God” with unalienable rights. Those rights precede government. Further, the purpose of the state is to protect those rights and to treat all citizens equally.

I’ve had occasion to do some reading over the Holidays. In the midst of that, I’ve revisited The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk. If you do not own it, I suggest you acquire a copy. Why? Well, this on the matter of “rights.’

This election is about western civilization.

October 13, 2020

Is it true that to have a pathway into politics one needs to be rich or to know rich people? Or is it possible to have the acuity to identify a unique window of opportunity and capitalize on it? Is this new or has this always been the American system?
