Debating a Liberal Is as Futile as Putting Talcum Powder on a Hog-but I Sometimes Still Do It

March 12, 2025March 11, 2025 Hal Shurtleff

While I agree with the late Tom Anderson, who said with a distinct Southern drawl, “Debating a liberal is as futile as putting talcum powder on a hog,” I occasionally do so. Not that I think that my reason and logic will change the mind of a liberal, but for others who may be reading or listening. … Read more

Boomers Are Clueless Because They Won’t Live Where He Tells Them To?

February 10, 2025 Skip

Monomaniacal socialist 15-minute-city kind of guy, Lloyd, has little empathy for conservative folks who just want to be left alone and make their own decisions in their own “pursuit of Happiness,” be it in suburbia or rural areas. To give his rant a bit more context (something he generally shrugs off as of no account), … Read more

Taxpayers Subsidize Vermonters’ Highest-In-The-Nation Health Insurance Rates

December 16, 2024 Michael Bielawski

While it’s recently been announced that Vermont will have to pay the highest premiums in the nation for health insurance for 2025, much of the tab for those struggling to pay will be picked up by taxpayers. “This year, many Vermonters will be eligible for better coverage plans at lower premium costs due to increased … Read more

The “Fascist” Ad Hominem As an Act of Projection

October 10, 2024 Thomas J. DiLorenzo

A definition of “projection” is when one baselessly accuses others of doing something unsavory, immoral, or illegal that he is actually doing. For example, a thief who, without proof, accuses others of being thieves. This is what socialists do when they call their intellectual and political opponents “fascists” or compare them to Hitler. Fascism is socialism, as … Read more

Chicago Dems New Money Laundering Scam

September 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

It has become impossible to do business in some parts of Chicago, where unprosecuted crime and rampant lawlessness have driven grocery and retail stores out of the city. We covered this last year. Unable to guarantee employee safety or economic viability, everyone from mom-and-pops to Wal-Mart has closed up shop. The result is “food deserts.” The Chicago … Read more

Woke is Maoism with American Characteristics”

July 9, 2024 Skip

What is Woke? What is Equity? I can tell you for certain that neither of those terms includes the traditional American ideals of meritocracy, equality before the Law, and equal opportunity—YOU get to decide how far in Life you can go and what you can achieve. Woke and Equity are Marxist foundational concepts that are antithetical to our norms.

Which ‘ism does today’s New Hampshire Democrat Party most resemble (‘ism meaning a manifestation of socialism or collectivism or communism or whatever appellation you prefer to describe a system of government where under the guise of serving “the common good,” or achieving “equity” or “social justice,” or some other pretext the citizenry is conned and … Read more

The Left and Teenage Mental Illness: Bug or Feature? (Part 2)

November 21, 2023 Aaron Warner

Part one of this article looked at the rise in mental illness in our culture, especially the youth. The question is, where does it come from and why? Looking at the overwhelming influencers, namely teachers and social media, it begs the question of what has changed and who started it.

Confronting a Select Board Over Mandated D.E.I. Training

November 20, 2023 Aaron Warner

After reviewing the town of Hartford D.E.I. training and discovering that it is a front for cultural Marxism propped up by lies and unproven social theory, I felt obligated to address the Select Board, which mandated it for town employees.

First, We Caught Public Schools Indoctrinating Our Children, And Now …

October 13, 2023 Skip

Public schools have been indoctrinating our children, and it is our tax dollars that are making this possible. Our own money is being used by those who hate us against us and our children. You know that. You know about the library problem. But did you know this?

What Losing Free Speech Looks Like

September 1, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Several readers have forwarded a story about a Canadian father jailed and fined for misgendering his daughter in public. But he wasn’t jailed for that, not exactly. He was fined and imprisoned for ignoring a gag order that prohibited him from publicly objecting to the forced hormone therapy to which he did not consent.

Notable Quote – “…A Battle Between Freedom and Subjugation”

June 9, 2023 Skip

Emphasis mine: Condemning capitalism is nothing new in this country. We’ve heard the angry criticisms all of our lives, and they weren’t novel when we were young. It’s tragic, really, that so many in the West see the tension between “capitalists” and their ideological opponents as merely a conflict between ideas about which economic system … Read more

Assisted Suicide Could be a Cash Cow for Funeral Homes and Governments

May 28, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Where Canada goes, Vermont follows – remember, they did try to join Canada way back when – so it seems logical to wonder about this. For $700.00, a funeral home in Quebec offer “a space for assisted dying, providing care to the family and handling the body afterward.”

We Are All Ingredients In The Recipe For Socialism

May 20, 2023 Ray Cardello

Many of us are not happy about the direction of America and concerned about the younger generation being content with our trend away from Capitalism and towards Socialism. We were told by some nefarious historical figures that this would happen and exactly what the steps in the process would be. If you disregard history, you … Read more

There Is No Mental Health Crisis Worse Than an Entire Nation Shackled to the Will of a One-party State.

April 14, 2023April 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The public ed industrial complex, in cahoots with the Gender transitionists, is recruiting an army of mentally unstable people, some of whom are taking a false “they hate you” narrative and using it to commit suicide by cop after shooting up schools and churches.

April 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Democrat party is the party of death, but they are also the party of fear, and one of the more recent terms to join their lexicon is forever chemicals. Anything that gets into your body accumulates and never leaves, like ~~Democrat~~ Socialism.

A lesson from the First Thanksgiving

January 5, 2025November 24, 2022 Skip

Updates below.

I like reading John Stossel as often he proclaims a down to earth message with common sense appeal. In addition, what he talks about is grounded in results rather then an ideological background. When I saw his column, so apropo for today, it does need to be reviewed.

Why? Allow me to inject a bit of what some might consider politics on a day given over for other-than-politics. The lesson learned by the Pilgrims is one that we should be paying close attention to, as we are looking to select a new leader, just as the Pilgrims selected Bradford as their new leader. I see the Democratic candidates all running to socialistic tendancies more and more – think “it takes a village” on steroids. Yet, given history’s results on “the common good” and the hatred that seems to be simmering on the Left for capitalism, sometimes we do need to pay attention to what history tells us of certain choices and actions, lest we repeat them over and over….

Hey Dummies … Fascism IS Socialism

October 2, 2022 Ed Mosca

In the alternative universe that the Left inhabits, the fascists are on the right side of the political spectrum, while the socialists are the middle or the center-left. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
