"Instead of spending $20 more than last year on your Independence Day hot dogs, lay off the calories and grab a few more rounds for your AK-47." Would it surprise you to learn that this stunningly obtuse tweet, issued amidst a uniquely American mass shooting epidemic, was authored by N.H. House Majority Leader Jason Osborne? That's correct. House majority leader.
After widespread outrage among....well, people with brains, Osborne dug in. In a NH Journal podcast he said, "I have no trouble doubling and tripling down on the Second Amendment all day long. That is going to do nothing but good for Republicans." We'll see come November.
Wonderful post! I’ve been saying that about those supposedly “free Staters” who really only want freedom for themselves! I see them as the biggest danger to the state of New Hampshire currently! Anyone who thinks secession is a good idea should probably think what happened last time it was tried!
Have these people stopped to think about the consequences? If we succeed who is going to replace the millions of dollars that the US Hovernment currently sends to NH in SOCIAL SECURITY alone? Who’s going to provide the MEDICARE and MEDICAID? What about all the money the State gets from Transpiration to repair roads and bridges? I believe the State currently receives $1.08 for every $1 we send the Feds. Doesn’t souls like a lot …until you think of it in terms of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS! who will make up that difference? Certainly not the elderly who will no longer receive a monthly check from the Feds!
BTW, I have often thought that if things get too bad here in the US (especially like the years between 2017-2020), New England should succeed and join with Maritime Canada! We have a lot historically in common with them! We could even take ATLANTIS as our name! Something to keep in mind….just in case!
