It must be comforting, being Governors who can ignore the US Constitution

April 17, 2020 Skip

It bears repeating: The Constitution was meant to restrict GOVERNMENT and not Individuals. Progressives, however, have inverted that:

“If I begin sacrificing my rights in order to save lives, then where does it end?”

April 16, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The title is a quote from Brandon Morse at Red State. He is walking us through an incident where the Police in Raleigh, North Carolina broke up a lockdown protest. The point, of course, being that the first amendment protects that right and it was just infringed.

NH Governor could learn from South Dakota’s Governor: “My Responsibility is to Respect the Rights of the People”

April 10, 2020 Skip

While most governmental leaders in the U.S. are imposing lockdowns of one sort or another, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem is refusing to shut down South Dakota. At a press conference Wednesday, Kristi eschewed a one-size-fits-all approach to the pandemic.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio warns that “synagogues” and “churches” are disobeying his order. His order closes places of worship. He is threatening any non-compliance with permanent closure. But Bill de Blasio does not have this authority.

Op-Ed: Remonstrance In New Hampshire

March 22, 2020 Op-Ed

The Remonstrance is a Constitutional Right, exercised to protest any encroachment on the rights of the people, or, any usurpations of power by design, or inattention to the Laws of the Land.

So, YOUR Right needs to be paid by others?

March 18, 2020 Skip

Yeah….no. A perfect example of the Left trying to redefine the language by affirmation, slipshod usage, and most people not challenging the redefinition because of poor education. “I have a right to this!” and “I have a right to that!” is common place in everyday parlance. And it’s wrong. Second Amendment / Article 2-A enumerates … Read more

Senator Cindy Rosenwald, does that mean that the State will pay for me to exercise MY Rights, too?

February 27, 2020February 27, 2020 Skip

Alternative title: Democrats: Rights, Entitlements – what’s the difference? Democrats don’t want you to think about differences. There are BIG differences and Grokster Beth, over on the Nashua Politics Page, made a challenge over this statement made by NH State Senator Cindy Rosenwald in this specific topic of, once again, Democrats deliberately maldefining common words … Read more

Once again, Progressives wanting to take something away from you. Right, NH State Rep Skip Cleaver (D)?

February 18, 2020February 18, 2020 Skip

Given our four day First In The Nation Primary broadcastfest with the 603 Alliance last week and the previous were pretty much a lost cause for blogging for me and I’m still trying to play catch up on some stuff that had caught my eye and I didn’t get the chance to do any writing. So, I’m late on this by a couple of weeks.

The Founders Held Great Mistrust for Democracy

February 17, 2020

The Founders held great mistrust for democracy. They did desire democratic principles. They did not want a democracy for our form of government. America’s founders were widely read. They knew the work of Plato who wrote in The Republic, “And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.” Our history from James Madison As Plato decrees, … Read more

Gilford School Board: ““They seem intent on making this happen irrespective of people’s concerns,””

January 3, 2020 Skip

Now Normal people are starting to catch on that ANY Progressive agenda items, specifically the Gilford School Board and Superintendent Kirk Beitler trying to ram Policy JBAB on transgenders, declaring its love for “inclusion” is lying about the inclusive parts: “They seem intent on making this happen irrespective of people’s concerns,” said Angelo Farrugia, a … Read more

A $540 million Fee Increase – By a Republican?

December 7, 2019December 6, 2019

You know that we Groksters will call out malice on either side of the aisle when appropriate, and this time it’s a Republican who has earned the spotlight. A representative from one of the most republican districts in New Hampshire has put in two very, very, anti-liberty bills. One of those bills will create a … Read more

Irony Alert: Socialism Will Save Traditions and Values from the Effects of Climate Change

November 28, 2019November 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

If you didn’t read past the beginning of this amazing piece of speculation, “Climate change is a disability rights issue,” you’d think they meant people in wheelchairs. Not exactly. But they are serious about their work and also entirely immune to the irony.

Gilford School Board – October meeting: Powers and Rights (Part 2)

“Mr. Murphy, please submit that question in writing to us…..I have already; twice!

Is Porn the Embodiment of the Liberal Political Agenda?

November 20, 2019November 20, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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.

Let me see if I have this right

November 13, 2019November 13, 2019 Op-Ed

This coin was our first minted coin during colonial times; 1787 to be exact. Do you see what it says? MIND YOUR BUSINESS. The flip side says WE ARE ONE. I wonder how many people actually believe that these days.

Where did the Traditional Democrats go?

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 Steve Earle

I find it rather entertaining at times watching the gyrations of radical Democrats trying to find some excuse to impeach President Trump with no evidence of any crime, high or otherwise. But in all honesty, I can not relate any of the leftist leaders to Democrats as I recall them from as recently as twenty years ago.
