Some say John Kasich is selling out his party and his principles. Well no… John Kasich is really just being honest with people. He was a socialist four years ago and he still is. He was a Democrat then and he still is. Now he is simply publicly embracing the correct label.

What Type of Person Is an American?

Notable Quote – Harlan Hill

July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 Skip

What America is going through right now is not merely another, more intense round of “cancel culture.” We’re now in the midst of a full-force, totalitarian remolding of our society, one that seeks to place the petty resentments of an outraged minority of leftist activists above everything else in American life. Because of their willingness … Read more

Educational Methods and Values and Principles

March 11, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Recently, the Nashua Assessing Office upgraded its software and uploaded new 2019 property record cards (PRC’s) for the public to access online.

We Must Defend Our Values and Principles

October 23, 2019

Like you, I am tired of arrogant socialists. These people, who have never even run a lemonade stand need to shut up, sit down and get out of the way. They should not be telling us how we should live in New Hampshire.

We fought them abroad but here they are

October 15, 2019 Skip

You know, I/we don’t do this enough as our commenters are very bright and incisive. They ‘get it’ and get to the point. The problem is that their comments, while valued, sometimes don’t get the play they should. So, I’m going to do more “promoting” than what I have done in the past. From Steve’s … Read more

Throughout history slavery was ordinary, it has been the norm. Overcoming it required exceptional ideals; values and principles. Most people today lack context for their understanding of American slavery.

Local Jurisdictions Should Not Shield Criminals from ICE

September 13, 2019

Only American citizens can protect America. It is our responsibility to demand politicians and our senior law enforcement do their job. Their job is that which they have sworn an oath to do. Namely, that is protecting America and most importantly protecting our children.

Save the Eagle Eggs? Yes! Save innocent Unborn Babies? Not so much

September 9, 2019 Skip

The Left is always predictable – all about “saving” things that fit in “nature” – but not just babies. Babies from other species – you bet that they need protection. Your future brother? Sister? Cousin? Friend? Expendable. As Brietbart observed, politics is downstream from culture and The Left has definitely screwed up our culture to … Read more

Life, Liberty and Property Rights in the Amazon

August 31, 2019

When everyone owns something; no one owns it. We need to stop and think about that statement. What about a public highway or pond? What incentive does anyone have to maintain or take care of these things? Why are the principles and values of life, liberty and property rights timeless? The road to hell Sure, … Read more

Where Do We Find Ourselves Today?

In America do we have in our society a tight inbred elite rule?

Are these people part of a group who has known each other since childhood? Perhaps there was … Read more

Liberty Mutual – rewarding nudity with a President’s Award

June 14, 2019 Skip

Good old American values, there Liberty Mutual – you don’t have to bring your kiddies to the scummy strip joint in the red light zone (did I just age myself there?), just bring them to the beach. Or, pretty much, anywhere now. It’s a value, I guess a new-fangled one based on yet another set … Read more

The Voluntary Exclusion Party

March 22, 2019March 22, 2019 Ian Underwood

In a previous post, I considered the question: How can people who prefer safety to freedom coexist with people who prefer freedom to safety?

I discussed a way in which a political party could directly provide single-payer services to the people who want them, instead of focusing on gaining control of government in order to ‘provide’ them even to people who don’t want them.
