News Update

1. The Union Leader has an awesome article about the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance‘s annual dinner.  In my opinion Mark Warden, the NHLA Chairman who is featured in the piece, is an amazingly outstanding liberty activist.  He’s also running for NH state representative in Goffstown, NH.  If you value your freedom and are a resident of Goffstown, this is the man who deserves your support.

(NH Congressional candidate John) Stephen said he doesn’t agree with the NHLA’s support of legalizing the use of medical marijuana, but shares the belief in limited government and fewer taxes.

I’d like to point out that medical marijuana isn’t even a “liberty” issue.  It is a doctor/patient issue.  If this tyrant wont even allow a doctor and patient to come to an agreement on a course of treatment for an illness…  my question to you is why the hell you would want him having “power” to direct the violence of the government against you or anyone.  If you were sick, dying, and in pain, and your doctor recommended that you use marijuana to ease your suffering and improve your quality of life, this political thug would have violence used against you and your doctor to have you thrown in a jail cell.

Petty street criminals are not the real threat to your safety…  “politicians” such as this guy are.

2. Nashua, NH police continue to rid their community of drugs (not) at tremendous taxpayers expense:

Nashua Police arrested a man on drug charges following a traffic stop Thursday.  Police stopped 31-year-old Matthew Tamposi’s car on Fox Street and smelled marijuana, according to Nashua Police Lt. Scott Hammond.  A patrol officer brought a department K-9, Rony, and the drug-detection dog completed a sweep of the outside of the car and indicated there were illegal drugs inside, Hammond said.

It sickens me that this stuff continues to be news.

3. The School Sucks Project is continuing to make big news around the Seacoast thanks to some hard work by some unknown activists!

“This is the first time we had this kind of inundation of a deliberate attempt to put propaganda in books,” Beaudoin said.

Books that are funded by theft…  that if you don’t pay for you loose your house…  that if you don’t leave when ordered to by men with guns you get arrested…  and if you refuse to be arrested and have your home stolen, they’ll kill you.  Considering Mrs. Beaudoin’s job is funded by some serious threats of actual violence, I’d rather not hear her whine about “propaganda.”

4. Homophobes gay marriage opponents, no, wait…  homophobes are planning to rally in Manchester on thursday to oppose New Hampshire’s gay marriage law.  The government really should have absolutely nothing to do with marriage, but since it insists on it, it should be fair and equal.  New Hampshire having legal gay marriage is something that I am particularly proud of.

I wish these homophobes realized that they are just repeating history.  People just like them many years back protested when black people were allowed to marry white people.  Those same people lashed out at people like me who argued that they were racist.  It is unfortunate that many of the homophobes who think our gay brothers, sisters, family members, and friends are second class citizens do not realize that with their mentality they would have been the ones pushing to deny black people to marry white people.

Sickening.  Leave people alone, man.

Kevin Smith, executive director of Cornerstone-Action, said his organization and the National Organization for Marriage are sponsoring the City Hall Plaza event from noon to 1 p.m.Smith said the rally will send a message to lawmakers who supported New Hampshire’s gay marriage law that they will be held accountable at the polls.

And you, Mr. Kevin Smith, will be held accountable through history.  The same history that makes the bigots and racists of the past look to be the disgusting individuals that they are.  Years from now you will be the new neanderthal.  To me you already are.

    Hooray for NH Liberty Alliance!

    Now if we could only find some weird chimera gubernatorial candidate that actually believes in low taxes AND personal liberty. How someone can say they want “small government” and then advocate that the government arrest people for putting non-politician approved substances in their own body, is beyond me.

    FlexSF,

    Thank you for reading and commenting. We have much work to do here to enhance everyone’s freedom and equality. I am glad that our state has marriage equality to offer potential FSP movers :)

    There is no such thing as separate but equal.

    Peter,

    Thank you for reading and commenting.

    Something I read from that site you linked: “**The NOM event is organized by a man who claims “gays want prostitution, pedophilia, and polygamy” still thinking about staying home???”

    Well, I’m not gay, but I support gay marriage, gay people, prostitution, AND polygamy….. as they are all consensual acts with no victim. I wish we in the liberty movement could convince the HUGE gay-rights movement to stand with us in supporting these things… as supporting them is supporting freedom :)

    There is no reason why two men, three women, or two men and six women should be prohibited from “marriage.”

    Government is the problem…

    Last night there were two people-a guy and a girl-asking for donations to help with the gay marriage thing in Calif.( I am in Calif for a bit)Strange thing was-they were looking for increments of $100!! I told them I was originally from Vermont,where the civil unions were,and gave them ten bucks.i asked them how they were making out,and they commented that it was the folks that drove the beaters and worked that were donating,and the rich folks just walked on by.Yet the ten I gave them was a greater percentage of what I had in my pocket than 100 would be for the other guy!But I signed their paper anyway,i told them I had always been a supporter of gay marriage,I think they should have to suffer like the rest of us!! —bil
