As it did last fall, rain drenches New Hampshire to the point of flooding, and, as they did last fall, NH politicians and federal "officials" promise to save the day with government assistance (ie money that has already been taken from us without our direct approval, or money that will be borrowed with the promise of repayment with our tax Dollars).

We rarely question this paradigm. When Representative Dan Eaton proposed spending $4 million of other peoples' money to buy outright the homes of flood victims in Alstead, his idea was met with resounding approval.

It shows we care, they said. It shows the best of NH government in action.

Ian, of FTL, and Gard, of ATG, combine forces once more, entering the breech of political disputation against the statists!

This time, they are aided by the resourceful Sam Cohen, of ProGun New Hampshire, find them at www.PGNH.org.

Number Six recently issued a Mass Mailer to all Conspirators, letting them know the latest on two important matters of concern.

The following is the text of the letter, providing up to date information from the NH capital:

Number 85 reports today that, following the Senate vote to "study" HB 1582 (which would rebuff the federal government over the anti-constitutional requirements of REAL ID), supporters of the bill in the House attached the original provisions of HB 1582 to their version of SB399. SB 399, mentioned earlier here at the Conspiracy, would give the executive branch, and the Commisssioner of Health and Human Services, power to commandeer medicines, prevent gatherings of private citizens, and biologically cleanse private buildings during times of "emergency".

Identity Crisis: How Identification is Overused and Misunderstood

More on the issue, from "Against the Grain"

As reported elsewhere, the US Border Patrol has tipped off Mexican authorities about the locations of US Minuteman patrols. This not only helps the "illegal" (we use quotes because it is questionable whether the federal laws on immigraion are constitutional) immigrants avoid capture, it puts the minutemen at risk as targets.

Hear more on this subject, in part one of two.

On Tuesday, May 9, George Pataki, a possible candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, appeared with Gardner on WTNK.

He stressed his record in NY, energy policy and defense, as he explores his future as a potential presidential candidate.

Today, on "Against the Grain", Seth Cohn of the NH Liberty Alliance joined Gard to discuss the vote on Thursday evening in the NH Senate.

14 Republicans voted to amend HB 1582, which would have rebuffed the federal government over the anti-constitutional REAL ID Act, insuring that NH retain authority to issue its own driver's licenses as its government sees fit.

The bill is not dead. As amended, it will have to go back to a conference committee with the House. Unfortunately, Senate President Gatsas, who opposes HB 1582, gets to select the members of the Senate delegation for the committee.

A little stroll down memory lane with Senator "Straight Talk" McCain, and an update on political pressure on local schools. Lovely!

For those who are fascinated by strictly enterpreting the US Constitution. This sound file features Gardner Goldsmith, the insightful caller 'Craig', and Karen Testerman, of Cornerstone Policy Research.

As reported by the Drudge Report, George Bush's expressed opinion that the "Star Spangled Banner" be sung in English does not seem to jibe with his own background on the campaign trail.

Kevin Phillips, author of "American Dynasty", first noted it in his book, and Drudge has broadened the exposure.

The President may be slow to recognize his own hypocrasy, but at least he doesn't have bird flu.

Here, also, is the latest on the US government's plan to shield us from the flu.

It's a good thing ABC News is watching this pote

We give you the Fenway Park remake of the song...

In Pig Latin!

Here is a sample from today's game.

In solidarity with the Latino Community that wants to promote a Spanish language version of the National Anthem, the folks at Fenway Park have translated the song into another popular language...

Here is a sample of the opening:

"Ohway aysay ancay ouyay eesay... ybay ethay awn'sday earlyway ightlay... atwhay osay oudlypray eway ailedhay atway ethay ilight'stway astlay eamingglay..."

Fenway Spokesman Seth Lopez says: "We just thought it was the right thing to do. And it shows solidarity with a large portion of our fans. Ogay oxsay!!"

Fed Chariman Bernanke has suggested that if gas prices continue to rise, he has a great idea:

Raise interest rates.

As John Cleese would say with tongue planted firmly in cheek, "BRILLIANT!"

It needs stressing: inflation and gas prices are not connected. Listen to this sound file and you will get more information.

As Charlton Heston said in "Planet of the Apes", "it's a MAD HOUSE, a MAAAAD HOUUUSE!"

Listen as people like Chuck Grassley of Iowa (see the photo of him here at the Conspiracy site a few pages in) and Chuck Schumer come up with brilliant ideas to further manipulate the oil market.

Government has never improved ANY facet of the market. Government stands in diametric opposition to economic development and freedom.

More, with Myron ebell of CEi (www.CEI.org) on gas prices and political rhetoric.

Plus, an interview with Bill Unfairro, owner of a nearby gas station. He's a man who can really tell us the truth about gas prices.

On April 26, Gardner Goldsmith welcomed Myron Ebell, evironmental policy and energy expert of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Together, they investigated the claims of leftists in both major parties that the government should get further involved in regulating gas prices and taxing oil companies.

This is part one of two.

Neeeeeew Jerrrrrseyyy.. Where the trees grow tall, the grass grows green, and laws prevent people from pumping their own gas.

NJ has spawned a real winner. Congressman Robet Menendez.

Here he is on the morality of supply and demand -- Congress style.

Listen to this short bite, it's something on which to chew...

And read about Mr. Menendez's home state right here! It's FUN!
