On Jan. 2, in the first session of the 400-member New Hampshire House of Representatives, the newly elected Democratic majority voted to disarm the Republican minority, essentially deeming that that minority was a danger to the peace and safety of the institution. The vote illustrated the stark nature of the current political divide in both New Hampshire, and the nation.
The vote also demonstrated Democrats’ willingness to suppress constitutional principles, in this case the right of self-defense, when constitutional principles get in the way of Democrats exercising power. And it illustrated to anyone concerned for the defense of our inalienable rights that evil has arrived in the State House with a vengeance. |

By supporting a vote against the supreme law of the land, they now have violated their Oath of Office, and should lose their right to work in government for the people. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
