Now! Hampshire: The thousands of taxpayers who gathered in several locations around the Granite State on Tax Day “didn’t even know what they were protesting,” according to the state’s top Democratic Party official. “They looked like they lost their minds,” said Ray Buckley, Chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party of the protesters.
Left O Go. MSM Left Go. Faster, Faster, Left Go. Like a car with the accelerator stuck, Go. So America can repent of throwing out the Ten Commandments and embracing Socialism.
Fox News told me to go, so I went. If Hannity told me to drench myself in drawn butter and run around a Red Lobster I would start heating the butter immediately. I don’t need to know how it is part of Murdoch’s master plan, I am just happy to be part of it. < do I really need a sarcasm tag?>
“It’s the Tyranny, Stupid!”
America’s defining characteristic is freedom. Freedom exists when there are limitations on government, imposed by the principle of individual rights. America was established as a republic, under which the state is restricted to protecting our rights. This is not a system of “democracy.” Thus, you are free to criticize your neighbors, your society, your government—no matter how many people wish to pass a law censoring you. You are free to own your property—no matter how large a mob wants to take it from you. The rights of the individual are inalienable. But if “popular will” were the standard, the individual would have no rights—only temporary privileges, granted or withdrawn according to the mass mood of the moment. The tyranny of the majority, as the Founding fathers understood, is just as evil as the tyranny of an absolute monarch.
“In the Bolshevik Revolution, the slogan was ‘Peace, land, and bread,’” McCotter said. “Today, you are being to choose between bread and freedom. I suggest the people on Main Street have said they prefer their freedom, and I am with them.”
The progressives are on the run. The only thing they have left is fear. And who fears a bunch of old politicians.
I was protesting against people like Ray Buckley.
People infavor of increasing NH gas tax 15 cents /gallon.
Increasing NH state spending 17 % in 2 years and then another 12 % after that. How about the bathroom bill ?
It allows people to chose whatever public bathroom they want to use. How about same sex marriage.
The next thing Ray will want is an income tax or a sales tax to pay for all the increase in state spending.
THAT’S WHY I WENT TO MANCHESTER LAST WEDNESDAY.
WHAT AN A$$HOLE
As opposed to the millions of Obama supporters on election day who didn't (and mostly still don't) even know what they were voting for.
As you are no doubt aware the Boston tea party of 1773 was followed by the coercive acts, we can expect retaliation now too.

Protesting what?
How about: “George W. Bush was a bigger spender than big-spending Lyndon Johnson. Obama makes them both look like like Scrooge.”
—Will Wilkinson, research fellow at the Cato Institute
