Shame on N.H. Republicans
Shame on N.H. Republicans for trying to enact a law to disarm welfare recipients. Looks like some folks in the state really don't buy into "Live Free or Die."
Not all Democrats are elitists. And too many Republicans are more accurately described as Statists with a love of ever-increasing centralized governmental powers.
Art: Thanks. Agreed. Sometimes the terms liberal, conservative, Democrat and Republican mask a lot of complexity. Many on both sides want a strong centralized government that will be the tool for their ideological plans. Both would, however, create dystopias rather than utopias. Can you imagine what it would be like to have a government that gives corporate America a blank check? Some Republicans seem to lean in this direction. We need more consumer protection and corporate transparency, not less as many Republicans seem to think. GM and Wall Street frequently get slaps on the wrist rather than real sanctions. This continues to be a serious problem even in the Obama administration. A cures on both their houses!
