All over the Right side of the blogosphere, I keep hearing whispers “are we heading towards a civil war”? It is quite obvious that this nation is split and I would agree that the crevice is becoming a chasm. The Right is going back to our American roots and the Left is insistent on adhering on latching on to foreign political ideas. Our moralities are different (Judeo-Christian vs anything BUT Judeo-Christian). Our sense of independence /dependence is incompatible. Our outlook on The Proper Role of Government is in different galaxies. And now – our Law. Keep Reading…

In the 2016 general election, according to the Secretary of State’s office, Election Day registrants of all kinds made up about 11 percent of all ballots cast. Within that, first-time New Hampshire voters made up 6 percent of all votes in November — and, within that, first-time voters who registered without a New Hampshire driver’s license made up less than one percent.

Note: The LFDA article misquotes the linked AAA Article. Americans paid $3 billion annually to address rust caused by all forms of road de-icing, not just brine.
