  1. We are looking for concerned Americans in new Hampshire to join in an initiative being launched that has been coined “Truth-Boating” Hillary-
    If you would take the time to read the http://www.hillcap.org site’s links to the public record intended to expose the outrageous federal election frauds and obstructions of three federal investigations into those frauds Hillary directed to win her Senate seat in 2000, you will see what the Hillary controlled media has been withholding from the American voters- and we will begin a campaign in New Hampshire to educate the voters about the latest and most outrageous violations of law Hillary has been engaging in.
    Please review the sites cited above and contact us-
    alos please link to our sites- hillcap.org, peterfpaul.com,www.ejfa.org

  2. I have added peterfpaul.com, and hillcap.org to my blogroll, as well as contacting hillcap.org. I would like to help out in any way that I can.

  3. Hi, I do not have a blog, but I stumbled upon yours the other day. My family and I live in New Jersey, but we have always thought that we might “escape” some day to a more conservative state with a lower cost of living. A friend of ours remarked that he had heard good things about New Hampshire, so my hubby asked me to do some research online…which is how I discovered your blog. From what I’ve read there so far, it seems to be that NH was once a great place to live, but recently has taken a turn for the worse. Still, it does not appear to have sunk to the level of socialist insanity we have here in NJ! You seem to share basically the same political views as us, so we would value your honest opinion regarding the situation there in NH. Would it be a good move? How is the quality of life, not just the cost? I would appreciate hearing from you, and perhaps corresponding. Thank you!

  4. Hi Donna, I love New Hampshire. I have always thought it was a great state and still do. I “escaped” form Ma. while I was a teenager before I even was interested in politics, and I follow Ma. politics closely also. We are in no ways even close to being in the realm of Ma. when it comes to politics.
    I believe the quality of life is very good. I live in a small town (population wise, area wise its pretty large) in Southern New Hampshire, just a few miles over the Mass. border. It appears to me that the more North you go, the more conservative the state gets. The towns bordering on Mass. tend to have ex-Mass residents looking to escape taxes, but still liberal leaning.
    I believe there are more job opportunities in the southern part of the state, but that is just my belief. I work in Mass., as many New Hampshire residents do.
    The north country is beautiful as is the lakes region.
    As far as Manchester goes, there seems to have been a recent increase in crime there. I don’t know if you are interested in living in a larger city or in the countryside, but Salem is a larger city that doesn’t seem to have a lot of crime, however it is very busy, and commercial.
    All in all I think New Hampshire is the greatest state in this region. We are still independent thinking in nature. And have relatively little government intrusion into what I call Nanny state policies. Although there have been recent new regulations on smoking and such.
    If you or your husband like to hunt or fish there are many spots to go. The outdoors is beautiful in the countryside.
    We do tend to go back and forth between Democrat and Republican governors, and we have had a definate shift to the left since last November. I believe we may go further left in the next election before we turn back towards the center. I am in no ways an expert, just an observer.
    I may( just maybe) sometimes go slightly overboard in my call to New Hampshire voters, I just want to change direction before we get too out of control.

    Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to know, I am afraid this response may have just wandered all over the place.

    PS, don’t hesatate to come up here, we can use all the conservatives we can get. :)

  5. Hey, I’m Kyle, and I post at the Vigilant Freedom Blog. We’re working to create a list of conservative bloggers from targeted states (including NH) as part of an upcoming support the troops campaign alongside groups like Gathering of Eagles, and Vets for Freedom. If you’d like to include your blog you can email me at Kyle@vigilantfreedom.com

    For more information you can check out our post at

    Thanks,

  6. Here is the timeline and the info you need to be able to understand Hillary’s biggest campaign finance fraud in history. I have been working with Peter Paul for 2 1/2 years, and the evidence I have seen is compelling. With the help of THE BLOG ARMADA, we will be able to break the blockade of the mainstream media protecting their darling.

  7. Just look at this article and you will see the truth about Hillary.

  8. Dear ,
    Love your site. Would you consider placing a link to my new website on yours? I’ve created a new conservative political humor website. In return I would find a place of honor for a link to your site on mine. To check it out, go to:

    http://www.dickdoper.com/

    Site description: A box of conservative political humor mixed with a couple of gallons of rant, and a sprinkling of editorial commentary topped off by a big can of literary whoop-ass for liberals. Oh, and we got pictures, too.

    I really don’t have a ranking yet, as I’ve only been on the Net for a few weeks. So I’m hoping you’ll evaluate my site based on content and not ranking.
    I’m a graphic artist by profession, web site designer and closet writer by hobby (no, I don’t write about closets).
    Thanks for your consideration and potential support.
    Have a nice day and God Bless America.

  9. Roe Buy,
    Your link has been added.

  10. We have taken the liberty of adding a link to your site to our blog:

    http://www.louforcongress.com
    It can be found under the posting: “Some Reference Sources”

    We are starting early in the hope of inspiring a grassroots effort to urge Hazleton, Pa. mayor Lou Barletta for Congress next year.

    If you could make mention of our effort on your site, and/or add a link back to us, perhaps we can start to get people who have the courage to face this crisis head on elected to national office.

    Regards
    The Lou Crew

  11. mpinkeyes,
    I stumbled upon your site while trying to find the whole New Hampshire 9/5/7 debate on video. Anyway, I can tell you are an intelligent guy and while reading your “about me” link I see that your two boys are young. I also have young children (15,10, & 9) so the invasion of Iraq is a very important issue for me. While reading your “about me” link I was pleasantly surprised to find that you and I seem to agree on every point you have listed without exception. So this brings me to my point…I too like the fact that Duncan Hunter has pushed successfully for border control and also to limit the Federal Government on where the money comes from to fund the NAFTA superhighway (which will surely change the face of the United States as we know it), but I’m not sure how you can not be a Ron Paul supporter? (yes, that is what I am) Dr. Paul seems to stand for everything you stated you do. I’d love to have a friendly open exchange of thoughts about this with you…
    Please feel free to Email me. Who knows, maybe I’ll convert you, or you might convert me…lol

  12. Hi Jan, I just have a hard time getting past his comments about 9/11 in the first debate, they really bothered me. I agree with the of things he says about our constitution. He seems to be a true constitutionist, but I don’t believe I can vote for him. Please feel free to try and change my mind. I am going away this weekend so I won’t be able to respond to any comments until Monday.

  13. Hey,

    I’ve added you to my forum’s link page at:

    http://www.arguewitheveryone.com/links.htm

    If you’d consider the site for your blogroll I’d appreciate it.

    Thanks

  14. It is done kneukm03

  15. I was looking around Google and ran across your website. Very impressive! I have recently built a website called NationalPlatforms.com that provides a single source for someone to see where all the 2008 presidential candidates stand on the issues. The information comes directly from the campaigns themselves and completely unbiased.

    I believe your audience would find my site very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read this email and I’d love to hear back from you.

  16. Great blog! Sadly, I think the conservative New Hampshirite may be an endangered species… Keep up the good work though!

  17. Thanks, I think we will go through one more liberal dominated election here, and then I think the tide will turn. I just hope it isn’t too late at that point.

  18. I would like to invite you to join http://www.politicstopsites.com/

    I know that I am the new kid on the block trying to get started. We have a few ideas

    for something a bit different once things are moving. Any help greatly appreciated.

  19. Hello,
    I am relatively new to the blog universe and reached
    your great site via “Little Miss Chatterbox” (Conservatism
    with a heart). I must say that I am very impressed. I do some
    freelance writing for a local weekly paper and debate my
    very liberal brother on key issues in a bi-weekly column.
    Your site will be a great resource in our upcoming battles.
    Thank you for all you do.
    Gordon Cooper

  20. Gordon, thanks for the very kind words. Please feel free to use anything you find here that you think is helpful. The goal here is to spread the conservative word. I would love to read some of your writings if you could possible email them to me, I may use them in a post if you don’t mind.

  21. After realizing that the majority of the people of America depend on the one-sided news source of their choice, I have decided that it’s my duty to inform the people. Thank you for making your page since it defends America and its ideals. I would greatly appreciate it if you would check out my blog, theowlofamerica. I have just started it so in the next couple of weeks I will be establishing the site. Again, thank you for informing the American people on the issues they need to know about.

  22. Doomeister, thanks. I will check out your blog, we need to stand together snd continue to get the word out there.

  23. Like to leave my link. Of course I have already put you link on my website in return. I like your website.

    Thanks Bumper(ol retired Cop and US AIr Force Vet)

  24. I am a 10th grade student at Winchester High School. I went to McCall Middle School for three years, with Evander French as my principal. I think you are completely out of line by saying Mr. French is “lying his ass off”. Anyone who knows Evander French knows that he is there being a principal at the Middle School because he really and truly wants to do the best things for his students. When I wanted to start a fundraiser to help the ASPCA help the animals from Hurricane Katrina, he was backing me up and encouraging me. If he suggests a field trip to see “Miracle on 34th Street”, then he is doing it for his students. And if he contradicted himself when writing to the parents of his students (and correct me if I’m wrong, but what buisiness is it of yours to be reading letters that a principal sends out to the parents of his students if you don’t have a child in the school?), then that was because he was trying to figure out a tactful way to tell the parents and students who were excited about the field trip that it was canceled. Winchester has a very competitive school system, even in the middle school, so if the administrators think that it is a treat for them to go see a movie, then who are you to object? So, why don’t you focus on the events that directly affect you instead of picking apart the rare administrators who are there in the school systems to help and benefit the children.

  25. Nina,
    First, this comment should have been posted under the article you are responding to. This section if for comments on my blog in general. Comments on particular posts belong with those posts, this will allow other people to see your comment and respond either positively or negatively to your comment. This helps to promote discussion. Please leave future comments on posts in the proper location or they will be deleted.
    Second, I found the email content online, so that means a parent released it to somebody, that somebody posted it on the internet which then puts it in the public realm. You would do well to remember this when posting on facebook or my space. Anything you post there can and will be used against you.
    Third, it is my buisness because the future of our country is at stake. I know you won’t fully grasp why I am saying that but someday maybe you will. By going to public school you are being indoctrinated into socialism and you don’t even realize it. Considering you are being taught to celebrate diversity you should start questioning why all displays of Christianity are being slowly but surely supressed. Does this sound like celebrating diversity? This political correct mindset you are being taught will be the downfall of this country.
    You are being taught that you are entitled to thigs from the government to which you are not, people need to work to get what they want, it is not up to the government to give it to them.
    Saying that the principal was thinking of a tactful way to tell the parents is just another term for spinning it to the parents, which is another term for lying to the parents.
    These are some of the issues that we face as a country, we will be beaten from within if we follow the politically correct path. The PC path is the path to destuction. So when I see issues that I feel are important to the country I write about them. When people are so afraid of offending people that they can’t even say Merry Christmas we have a problem. Political correctness is nothing but an attack on free speech. Political correctness is intelectual fascism.
    So yes, this issue does directly affect me and I will fight it until the end.
    PS, don’t use the benefit the children argument, that is a time honored tradition of liberals to hide behind the children.
    I hope you keep reading here, perhaps you will educate yourself in a way that is purposely lacking in the school system.

  26. Hi!
    I love your blog! I ran across it b/c we both have a recent article about Rudy posted in the 2008 Presidential Candidates ezine on Zimbo.

    I’m adding you to my list of “Favorite Fighters of The Good Fight” which is my personal blog roll listed on my site.

    Will you please add me to yours in return and let me know when you do?

    For anyone else out there reading this, if you are another great fighter out there for the deadly cure to the disease of liberalism, please feel to add me as well. If you contact me through my site to let me know I will add you as well.

    Keep fighting the good fight my friends and God bless you and yours.

  30. Here is a copy of a Letter to the Editor that I managed to get printed in this past Sunday’s edition of Wilkes-Barre Citizen’s Voice. Feel free to use it if you can.

    Carl

    Editor:
    Congressman Paul Kanjorski’s recent claims that he has been in the fight against illegal immigration much longer than Hazleton mayor Lou Barletta prompted me to examine his voting record on this as well as some other issues. And some of what I discovered is quite interesting. The following are just a few examples of his votes on the following House Resolutions:
    Bill Number: HR 5970
    -Continues to allow tax deductions for qualified tuition and related expenses by amending the date to 2007 (Sec. 201)
    Have kids in college? Like being able to deduct tuition costs from your federal income tax?
    Paul voted NO

    Bill Number: HR 4890
    Sought to give the President the power of the line item veto.
    Paul voted NO (Can you say Pork Barrel Spending?)

    Bill Number: HR 4579 A bill to cut taxes for married couples, farmers, students, and others, and to set aside a portion of the budget surplus for Social Security.
    I’ll be honest. Anything that takes less of my paycheck in taxes is ok with me. Paul voted NO

    Bill Number: HR 2436 A bill to adopt a substitute amendment that establishes a federal criminal offense for an individual whose assault on a pregnant woman interrupts or terminates the pregnancy.
    Seems reasonable to me. Assault a pregnant woman, do some serious jail time.
    Paul voted NO

    Bill Number: HR 3722 A bill that would require hospitals to provide information on undocumented immigrants seeking emergency medical care.
    Seems simple. Illegal alien goes to the hospital for free medical care, and unless the hospital provides the Department of Homeland Security with citizenship and employment records, the hospital doesn’t receive reimbursement from the federal government. Would also have sought to make the employer of the illegal alien responsible for paying the bill.
    Paul voted NO

    Bill Number: HR 4844 A bill that requires voters to provide a government-issued photo identification cards in order to vote.
    You know, like a drivers license. It’s hard to be an illegal alien voter without one.
    Paul voted NO

    Now to be fair I must point out that Mr. Kanjorski did vote in favor of tightening border security, increasing the number of Border Control agents, and a few other items related to illegal immigration.
    However, it is one thing to raise your hand and vote “me too” on a bill that you know will make you look good to the folks back home, and quite another to take a serious stand on an issue.
    Perhaps why that is talk of Lou Barletta running against him has him trying to do damage control. Maybe he has visited the http://www.louforcongress.com website.

    But I can’t help but think that Mr. Kanjorski has been a member of Congress for 23 years, and NOW he is going to hop on board this issue?

    Congressman, to use an old cliché, I’d ask you to put your money where your mouth is, but the last time you did that, you gave 10 million of our tax dollars to your nephews.

    Carl Andrews

  31. Dear sir
    I stumbled accross your site via the search engine and I must say,based on the content so, far I agree in large part with you on may key issues. I do have some critique to give, in large because it is my social responsibility to do so. this is largely about balance and the merits of both parties both have redeeming features but both are fataly flawed. So if it is ageeable to you I would like to cover a few items and also state where I stand. First I would like to state my feelings and beliefs, I am, in many ways a deeply conservative patriot. I also am a student of history and for the last 30 years saturated my reading in early American history,as well as world history in general, I am alarmed at the tools BOTH parties are using in the battle for political control, as they fly in the face of Christian or even just basic democratic(not the party)ideology, and what I believe our founding fathers intended. As all parties are now using the following.. SPIN,.. FRAMING ISSUES,…(which I have seen mislead well intentioned people more times than I can count and is another form of dishonesty) POLARIZATION… (another way to keep logical debate on the merits of both parties from happening)(while mitigating the extremes we have seen) I cannot be a reasonable man and come to any other conclusion than that both parties have it wrong and have seperated myself from the Republican party and the Democratic party as I believe both to be fronts for a nests of thieves and corruption they seem to be pandering to greedy corporate donors to finance the election, then they in turn are beholden to the rich only and do not represent the american people in large part. They seems to either want to mismanage our economy or steal my freedoms bit by bit,or strip the soverieghnty of the United States. What is an American to do in the face of the failure of our beloved two party system,where are the checks and balances? Extremism seems to be the name of the game whether one is Liberal or one is Conservative. I look only to God for my guidance as the sight of both parties clawing at each other all day is enough to want to just put earplugs in and leave the room. but that is not the answer I know. My final word for now is for BOTH parties PLEASE no more political correctness,for my kids, and attacks on my right to bear arms, stop denigrating my Anglo-Saxon heritage in favor of any culturebut mine. Stop producing shortsided trade agreemants like NAFTA CAFTA and go back to the model our founding fathers used you would be suprised how much wisdom there is in that old writing and SO much is at stake…. God Bless America.

  32. I am a Viet Era Vet and my father was a combat wounded vet of WW2. 100% disabled in a B17 in combat over Germany..

    Bush is a betrayal of everything we ever believed in and proof positive that our nation could become fascist just like Germany did..
    When lies and half truths are mixed with fear and false appeals to patriotism to support a fake war on a country that never threatened us and imprisonment, torture and law breaking are condoned by the public in the name of security, then loss of freedom is soon to follow.

  33. Between 1789 and 1900, the U.S. Federal Government spent approximately $16 billion.

    Since 2001, the U.S. Federal Government has spent approximately $16 trillion.

    What happened to the noble ideal of a limited federal government?

    What are your thoughts on Ron Paul?

    In my humble opinion, he is the only candidate I can trust to return our nation back to its citizens.

  34. I only hope your blog doesn’t encourage more people to move to NH. Flatlander s need to know that the Conservatives in NH are more in line with Libritarians than the social conservatives elsewhere in the country. I think most New Hampshirites believe that religion is a private matter, not to be discussed in public anymore than their sex life.
    I believe that your views on homosexual marriage are homophobic. It’s a legal agreement between two consenting adults. and in. Marriage in a church is a different matter all together if they don’t want to perform services for gay couples then don’t.
    Good luck with your blog- stay above the personal attacks.

  35. Hello General Sir,

    I recently found your blog from someone else’s link, and immediately enjoyed your writing. Please keep up the good work.

    Judging by your photograph you’ve reached the pinnacle of your career, and as a young Marine corporal I am just beginning mine. Thankfully, I am home this holiday for the first time in a long time, but because of this a sad loneliness has overcome me that I think men of our calling can only understand. I would gladly leave my opportunity to be home this Christmas with my family to go back to the sands of Iraq, just so long as my younger Marines could come home to be with their families. I guess that’s the kind of thinking that comes with leadership.

    I just wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas. These are, unfortunately, interesting times that we live in. I hope that one day our nation is able to breathe a sigh of relief from the terrible threat it is only beginning to face.

    Semper Fidelis.

  37. Just found you site. 35 year old gun owning, bow hunting, flag waving jingoistic Rochester, NH Male. I enjoy your vies and site. Good job.

  38. Thanks Patriot, feel free to tell all your friends about this site, I don’t have many New Hampshire reidents coming here. We can use ll we can get. :)

  39. I was looking around on your site today (since Hillary is stumping through New Hampshire at the moment) and I thought you may be interested in a site I just finished building.

    A buddy and I run a humor blog, and one of the things we like to do is build satire websites on the side. Our latest one is a farce of Hillary Clinton’s “The Hillary I Know” website, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. You can check ours out at http://www.TheHillaryTheyKnow.com. We’ll be shooting a couple more videos today and posting them tonight. We’ll also be taking submissions from anybody who wants to shoot one – the funniest vids will be featured on the site.

    We’re going public with the site this weekend, and I thought I’d start talking to bloggers like you first. If you think our site is funny and interesting, I’d really appreciate it if you could mention it to your readers. And if you have any comments or ideas on anything you’d like to see improved, feel free to let me know.

    Thanks for your time,

    Nate

  40. Hi I like some of the comments on your blog, I would likwe to know if you could look at my youtube.com/steponme2008 page perhaps put my animations on your site. I am trying to bring to life a entertainment co. in NH and boston area, email me up, thanks

  41. I am trying to rally the conservative troops to go over and NOT FLAME but comment on a posting I commented on and need to have other voices heard,,, yes I went behind “enemy” lines as I often do… go on oover and read it and help out if you can…

    http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/the-myths-behind-iraq%e2%80%99s-civil-war-by-jennifer/

  42. Good evening! A loyal reader sent a quote over from your post on NH fiscal messes and I wanted to do a Trackback on it…possible without having to create an ID?

    Good stuff!

  43. Like most, this web site publishes false information. There was no communist flag at Mr. Obama’s hq. Already been disproven.

    To the owner of this site: If you decided to become what you are after 9-11, then sir you like this site are a phoney, and a coward. If you believe these so called conservatives, you are stupid as well.

    This is an open society, and with this freedom bad things are bound to happen.

    Maybe you would like more of our freedom taken away because you so damn scared, I bet the founding fathers are spinning.

    There has not been a true conservative since Ike. Oh, and what did he warn us against? MIC. Which, you seem to love.

  44. Things are really bad for you folks when “Stan” Coulter, and Rush ‘Oxy” Limbaugh are now trying to destroy Mr. McCain.
    The Democratic landslide is ensured because of it.

  45. First, I did not decide to become what I am, people evolve over time. It was not a conscious decision.
    Second, it is not WHAT i have become, it is WHO I have beocme, by saying “what” you make it sound like I turned into some kind of monster. And judging by your comments, perhaps you do see me as a monster.
    Third, I don’t understand the phoney label you give me. Is it because I have not always felt the way I do now? If it is, then are men not allowed to change?
    Fourth, I go online and post my feelings to anyone who is willing to read every night, and my readership is growing, it is not always easy to post how I feel , but I do. I see no cowardice in that. You however come here and insult me, and that is fine, but you leave no link back to your blog, I find that to be displaying cowardice. If you don’t have a blog and just enjoy the hit and run mentality knowing nobody can ever go to your blog and debate with you, that is cowardly.
    Fifth, I know the Democrats are going to run away with the election, and I will help them by not voting for McCain, I have already made peace with that.
    Sixth, as for being stupid, you may have a point there. I have never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the deck.

  46. Hello. I am writing to ask for your help with a survey which is part of my dissertation project. I was wondering if you would be willing to post a link to the survey on your blog? Your help would be greatly appreciated, and I think you and your readers would be ideal candidates for the survey.

    The survey is about people’s reactions to the presidential candidates in the upcoming election

    If you are willing to help, please post the following information:

    ***
    The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.

    Click here to take the survey:

  47. Hi. I enjoyed reading your post about the Boy Scouts versus the Cambridge Election Commission, and I thought you might like to know about a brand new blog published under deep cover behind enemy lines in the Peoples Republic. It’s called the Cambridge Patriots Committee, and the URL is

    http://patriots02139.wordpress.com/

    I’ve already placed your site on my blog roll, and I would be thrilled if you could add our site to yours. Thanks!

  48. From your About page, it looks like we have several things in common. I used to vote reflexively for “Democrat” and thought not a whole lot about politics in between elections. I don’t think I knew any Republicans, although it’s quite possible that some of my friends were “closet” GOP members.

    The murderous attacks of September 11th, 2001 were a major wake-up call for me. One of the first things I did was to put a flag on my car. Not knowing any better, I was shocked by the negative reactions I received from Cambridge residents. Just about everywhere else in the USA, including most other towns & cities in Massachusetts, the Stars & Stripes were a call for unity, mourning, and determination. In Cambridge, however, sight of the American flag brought out the ugliest side of the Left: An attempt to place the blame on America for what was done to us by Saudi Arabian savages, and expressions of contempt for ordinary Americans whose patriotism was re-awakened.

    I felt like Rip Van Winkle, who wakes up one day and finds that everyone around him has changed. In an effort to get my bearings, I began to read books like The Road to Serfdom, Witness, We Were Soldiers Once, The Federalist Papers, Up From Liberalism, Conscience of a Conservative. I also began to find lots of kindred spirits in the Blogosphere: Belmont Club, Front Page Magazine, Eject Eject Eject, Little Green Footballs. By the time of the next election, I was a registered Republican. I am now a member of the Cambridge Republican Committee, and I am committed to making Massachusetts a 2-party state again by the time my son is old enough to vote!

  49. I have added your link to my blogroll. Keep up the fight. By the way, you really are behind enemy lines down there. It must be tough!

  50. I am quite surprised that no one has discussed the egregious racial slur implied by Hillary Clinton’s recent campaign. Perhaps due to my background defending the civil rights of all Americans, I am sensitized to the techniques used by whites in many venues to put down candidates of color in ways that do not overtly seem to be racist.

    Looking at the question Hillary posed in the “3:00 a.m. question, I was immediately struck by the unspoken “profiling” obvious in this ad. Why 3:00 a.m.? Not enough experience to make a wise decision without time to consider the problem and contact advisors and pundits?

    No. The subtext of this strange question is that black males may not be at home and able to answer the phone with a cogent response. In what Hillary & Billary purport to be a straight-forward question, the Clintons are clearly back-stabbing Obama by playing on a negative perception of black males in toto.

    Will this machination be recognized for what it is; namely a bold-faced or at least a subliminal play to the thinly veiled racism that still runs rampant in the United States?

    If this is indeed a clue to Clinton’s ability to pull white rabbits out of hats, I hope that she is called to task for her manipulative campaign tactics. Should Obama play the race card on this issue? Probably not, due to his overall campaign marked by dignity and profundity. I do hope, however, that the press or a well-respected statesman will reveal and challenge Hillary’s dissembling tactics.

    Obama is real and knows, along with millions of other rational and change-hungry Americans, what “is” “is” and what “is” “ain’t”!

  51. You are the type of person who is tearing this country apart. You should be ashamed of yourself for attacking people who do not have the exact same ideas as you.

  52. I have sat back for the last seven years and watched what I believe in being attacked day after day. I started fighting back last year and now I am the one who is attacking people who don’t believe what I believe?

  55. I stumbled across your blog and noticed your uniform, so I decided to read your about me section. Besides drinking beer, toting a gun and driving a pickup, there is no difference between your views and mine. There is definitely no difference between your views and those of my family and friends, however most of them are black and constantly vote Democrat. I think perhaps if conservativism was portrayed as it really was as opposed to the media portrayal as an exclusive club of rich, old, fat men, many blacks would realize how conservative they really were. I don’t understand the democratic stronghold. Do you realize when the clintons visit churches like the church of god in christ, they are visiting not only one of the largest black church organizations. However, they are visiting a church that advocates abstinence, they are anti-abortion, anti secular music, etc. They are probably more conservative than the southern baptist. Yet the democrats are always pandering.

  56. Very nice website. BTW, what color is your pickup? ;-)
    Added you to my blogroll.

    Best, Jim

  57. Thanks Jim, my pickup is forest green. I will be adding you to my blogroll also.

  58. You are a fucking scumbag baby killer.

  59. JJ, thanks for stopping by. Please explain to me why I am a fucking scumbag baby killer. I am pro life, and think abortion is deplorable, so it can’t be that. Unless you are too stupid to realize that some of my posts on abortions have sarcasm in them.
    Am I a fucking scumbag baby killer because I am a supporter of the war and you are trying to relive the Vietnam war era where people like you reffered to our soldiers as baby killers?
    Please come back and explain your brilliantly crafted and remarkably ignorant comment.

  60. btw, I added you to my blogroll a while back. Your blog is one of the few conservative blogs I’ve seen that tends to be more respectful and moderated. I’m sure there must be more, I’m still looking. Anyway, I like that you include information from which you based your opinion with your posts. I don’t always agree but you make lots of good points.
    I’m against the war in Iraq because its premise was false and misleading. I am against extremists in whatever form they may appear: Christian, Muslim, or any other flavor. I don’t think they should be tolerated. I’ve been thinking for years about where I stand on interventionist vs. isolationist policy. So that influences how I feel about war. I think religion is one of the biggest problems facing us because it influences our culture and politics in the US just like in Islamic countries. Here in Canada I’ve never heard any politician even mention God. I spent most of my life in the South and in church (sunday, wednesday, friday) until I went to university and had a more rigid, conservative, non-secular upbringing than most people did (I can recite chapters of the Bible!). For that reason, I am uneasy about politics and religion mixing based on what I’ve experienced.
    I am cheered to see the comment from ms.day above. It’s spot on. Many blacks ARE conservative.

  61. Do you think the Bill of Rights were intentionally subverted by the false flag attack on America? 9-11 gave rise to sweeping legislative and regulatory reforms that curtailed our civil liberties. Paul Wolfowitz wrote in the 90’s that America must experience a “New Pearl Harbor” to accept massive defense spending increases. I am interested in your opinion.

  62. Thanks You Don’t Say, I will be adding you to my blogroll as well. We don’t agree on many issues, but we do agree on some. I would argue that it isn’t only conservative blogs that aren’t always respectful, I have seen liberal blogs that are just as disrespectful. Just read the comment two up from your’s. I haven’t figured out whether this is a conservative who has misunderstood my position on abortion, or whether he is a liberal calling me a baby killer because I support the war. Either way, he wasn’t repsectful.

  63. you’re right. It’s not just conservative blogs with out of control commentators. I don’t read comments on many blogs anymore because the remarks are just scary. I was reading a WaPo article this evening and just got fed up. It seems the anonymity of the internet causes people to forget manners and brings out the nasty side of most people.
    I admire the fact that you don’t stoop to the level of people who leave rude remarks on your site. People don’t have to agree with you but the least they could be is courteous and respectful.

  64. You are one stupid 41 year old middle Assman.

  65. That wasn’t nice Zana, please elaborate. Use little words so I can understand.
    You don’t say, you just inspired me to stay above the fracus. I was about to lay into Zana and then I saw how you mentioned that I don’t stoop to their level, so I didn’t.

  67. I noticed that you listed the US Military deaths during 4 years of the Clinton Administration. Do you have any statistics for the 8 years he held office?
    Thanks,

  68. You should write for Liberalati.com!

  69. I think it’s funny that you use a quote from a deceitful, psychopathic, treasonous caveman Jack Nicholson character on your web page. It really captures the spirit of the right wing nicely.

  70. Col. Jessup got screwed.

  71. That Jack Nicholson character comment certainly DOES describe the spirit of the right wing, perfectly! And I’m proud of it!

    Thanks MrPinkeyes, I just discovered this site and I love it. Your sentiments are mine as well.

  72. Thanks Laurie B.
    Isn’t it sad how a man can be called treasonous for defending the country? If that is the spirit of the left I am glad I am not part of it.

  73. Pink Eyes; I happened upon this site while researching blog sites. I am planning on starting one soon (blog). You are one scary buckaroo. The masthead of flags, firefighters,freedom bells etc. I am curious as to why you claim to have been a Democrat and switched after 911? Why would you switch to the party that allowed it to happen. You right wing screwballs have such a sadly convoluted way of thinking. Too much beer perhaps.

  74. I am happy to find your blog. I have been apaulled by the discussion of limiting the speed of boats that are otherwise being operated safely on NH lakes. Unsafe operators who are the ones who threaten others can already be cited for a variety of reasons without a speed limit. Whatever happened to “Live Free or Die”?

    In New York City they have outlawed: guns, transfats, driving without a seat belt, smoking in most places, and they tried to prevent people from driving into the center of the city unless they paid a large fee. They are on the march to tell everyone what it good for them.

    I thought NH was where anyone could do his or her thing as long as they don’t harm others. If you let them restrict some people’s liberty today, they may be after your liberty tomorrow. We have to stick up for everyone’s liberty in order to protect our own.

    Keep up the good work!!
