  • New Hampshire Legislature Passes Resolution to Stand with Arizona and SB1070

    Stand With Arizona ^ | 05-10-2012 | John Hill
    by John HillStand With Arizona Thank you, Granite State! The New Hampshire Senate yesterday joined the House in passing a resolution (full text below) proclaiming that "the state of New Hampshire fully supports the State of Arizona’s right to protect its borders and citizens" by passing its immigration law S.B. 1070. The resolution's path to passage was very contentious, with opponents testifying hysterically against it in both chambers, and Democrats trying all manner of procedural gimmicks to try and derail it - all in vain. House Concurrent Resolution 2 (HCR2) passed the Senate 15-9 last evening after slapping down an...
  • Al Gore at Hampshire College: Global warming is real and needs to be addressed now

    04/29/2012 9:04:03 AM PDT · by matt04 · 55 replies
    Former Vice president Al Gore on Friday refuted claims that global warning is a myth, saying that 97 to 98 percent of the worlds’ scientists attest to its veracity. Gore was the keynote speaker at the inauguration of Hampshire College President Jonathan Lash Friday. The theme of Lash’s inauguration was “Educating for Change: critical thinking in a critical time.” “Now there are some talk radio show hosts, they say that (global warming is) not (real)," Gore said. "It’s up to you; my point is we must respond. What the scientists tell us is going to take place if we do...

    SEE: Gingrich Gets Endorsement of Influential Conservative Newspaper In New Hampshire ``The influential New Hampshire conservative newspaper, the Union Leader, endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for president a month before the nation`s ``first-in-the-nation`` primary on Jan. 10, one week after the nation`s first nominating contest in Iowa on Jan. 3. Yup. Newt Gingrich is the conservative`s leader, especially since he wants to allow 8-12 million aliens who have invaded our borders to remain here if they haven`t violated particular laws. But entering our country illegally is not included on the list! Have we forgotten Gingrich ignored patriotic conservatives in...

    Attorney Ovide Lamontagne, who came within 1,667 votes of defeating former state Attorney General Kelly Ayotte in the GOP primary for Senate, is headlining a fundraiser for the new nominee next week. Ayotte will face Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes in November. Ayotte, who was recruited by national Republicans to get into the race, won with 38 percent of the vote over a crowded field on Sept. 14. The next day, Lamontagne conceded the race and endorsed Ayotte – providing a swift end to the battle, unlike the Senate primaries in Delaware and Alaska, where the establishment Republican candidates declined to...

    LISTEN, Libertarian! By Tim Condon October 9, 2005 Libertarians are such losers. I know, this is not a way to endear myself to them, even when my best friends are all libertarian or near-libertarian. But success is staring them in the face, and a significant proportion of them deploy massive brainpower and argument to make sure that nothing ever gets better. It's incredible. LISTEN, libertarian! It's over 30 years later, and we're still hearing endless platitudes that keep us from gaining political power in the service of individual freedom. "All we need to do is a better job at selling...

    NASHUA – Samantha Dube has dropped off 30 job applications at various city businesses, but she can’t seem to find a summer job. “I went to pretty much every fast-food place – all the convenience stores,” said Dube, a sophomore at Nashua High School North. “I wait about three days, and I call back.” But the managers don’t show interest, she said. Instead, they say things like, “We’re not looking for anyone right now,” she said. Because she’s 16 and has no previous work experience, Dube thinks those factors may be working against her. Her biggest fear is that she’ll...
