Anglophiles Unite -- The BBC Needs your Help... Well, not really...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Especially when government entities receive criticism, and try to portray themselves as "addressing the concerns of the people."

Case in point, the BBC, which was recently criticised for its leftist tilt in news stories.

Education Funding Ripoff -- Londerry Superintendant Nathan Greenberg Uses Weak Weapons to Defend the Undefendable

On Tuesday, March 14, Nathan Greenberg appeared on WNTK with Gardner Goldsmith, to explicate his position on the recent education funding ruling by Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Bill Groff.

Study his arguments, and come to your own conclusions.

CACR 34 will be up for a vote in the House in one week.

When State Law Puts Private Merchants in Legal Jeopardy -- SB 30 and 'Emergency Contraceptives'

The NH House voted on March 8 not to allow for licensed pharmacists to decline requests for purchase of the "morning after pill". Instead, opponents of amending SB 30 (passed in 2005) claimed that pharmacists already have the voluntary right NOT to take the state-run training program that would allow them to sell to anyone who wanted to purchase the possibly abortive pills (the pro-abortion politicians in Concord will not admit that the "morning after pill" can kill a conceived fetus, but in most cases, in fact, that is exactly what it does.)

The trouble is that there is not a legal procedure to protect any pharmacist who opts not to take the training program, and who could be later taken to court for making that decision. A woman desiring the morning after pill in order to "prevent an unwanted pregnancy" up to 72 hours after the act of sexual intercourse, could, clearly, attempt to bring suit against a pharmacist who opted not to take the training course, and who later faced her with the denail of her sale.

If a Doctor Doesn't Have a Nice Bedside Manner, REVOKE THIS LICENSE

On March 10, 2006, Dr. Terry Bennett, of Rochester, finally got to have a public hearing before the NH Board of Medicine. His license may be pulled because he was not pleasant enough when he told a women to lose weight.

This not only calls into question the priorities of our Attorney General's Office, which is involved in the "investigation" of Dr. Bennett, it calls into question the entire paradigm of licensing itself. Hear this and information the Governor's PR appearances, in this segment from "Against the Grain".

More, with JD Hayworth, Congressman of the Fifth District, Arizona

JD Hayworth and Gardner Goldsmith continue their conversation about his book "Whatever It Takes", and the subject of illegal immigration.

This part two of two.

A Conversation with Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth, About His New Book on Immigration, 'Whatever it Takes'

Arizona 5th District Congressman JD Hayworth's new book argues that the illegal immigration issue is one which could do untold damage to the US economy and national security.

He appeared with Gardner Goldsmith, on "Against the Grain" to discuss in depth the book, and the matter at hand.

Breaking NH News - The Rapid Response Team In Action - And News on Education Funding

The Conspiracy was unaware yesterday when we presented the segment on "Against the Grain" spoofing John Lynch's mighty "Rapid Response Team" that the skit would turn out to presage an event that would occur a few hours later. Of course many people may know that a paper mill in Berlin announced today that it will close in 60 days, and the Rapid Response Team was ON THE WAY!

The details of the closure are here. The questions about why government needs to take our money from us in order to insure that we have money ready for us if we become unemployed, and why the system is made even worse by redistributing cash, those remain unanswered in the article.

Coming Soon to a NH TV Near You -- The Rapid Response Team

John Lynch has made greater political hay than any other governor before him by promoting his "Rapid Response Team", which races out to help newly unemployed people get onto unemployment, and receive "services".

Since the Lynch Adminstration has played up its use of the "Rapid Response Team" in high-profile cases of business closure, where the number of people affected is large, and ripe for media coverage, one has to ask, what standard dictates the use of the team? Can a group of employees at a small business get the same assistance; can an individual who loses his job? Will the "Rapid Response Team" fly out to help if there isn't a camera there?

John Lynch Taps Into Something...

... Unfortunately, it's a maple tree.

As Governor Lynch races across the state to make public appearances to support certain industries, either because they reflect the "NH heritage", or some other aspect of NH that the politicians deem important, does anyone wonder when he will stop by their place of business for a photo opp?

How must it be to live every day in a cycle of PR spin, perpetually trying to give people the impression that one supports, and is interested and involved in every nuance of NH culture?

Where does one reach the saturation point?

When the "book season" begins in late spring for summer readers, will the governor appear at an Annie's Bookstop, shelving books for the cameras? Where does it stop?

Secret Audio Tapes - The Katrina Disaster

Thanks to the resources of "Against the Grain" we have been able to obtain the secret audio recordings of President Bush.

An Important New Organization Supporting Freedom, and Constitutionalism in the US - 'Lobby Sense' Is on the Move

The Conspiracy would like to welcome to the battle for freedom a new organization in Washington, DC. It is called "Lobby Sense", and in the two weeks since its inception, sixty national and state-based organizations defending the right to speak freely, and defending our constitutional form of government, have joined the force. We offer you their initial press release to tell you more...

Lobby Sense:

A coalition of more than fifty grassroots and public policy organizations today announced the launch of a new citizen advocacy project, LobbySense, and released a detailed Statement of Principles that opposes any Congressional legislation that according to the group, “stifles citizen speech.”

John Lynch Likes Power and Wants More, Especially During Natural Disasters

On February 17, 2006, "Against the Grain" revealed that John Lynch is fully in favor of giving the executive branch of the state of NH more power during "natural disasters" or other emergencies. Believing that the governor is the "only one" who can coordinate the resources needed during emergencies, Lynch supports a Senate bill to give the Secretary of Health and Human Services more power to commandeer medical supplies, close private buildings and block travel and meetings of large groups.

This is an analysis of his ideas, and the pilosophy behind it.

Continuing the Legacy of Paul H. Goldsmith

A brief note: Paul Goldsmith, father of Gard, was born on February 25, 1917.

We continue in his memory, and the memory of many others who worked tirelessly to advance the principles of individual liberty, integrity, honesty and kindness.

RIP Snap.

Welcome to NH - You're Gonna Love It Here

Adding the state motto to state signs, after Governor Lynch wasted money on signs already. Nice.
