in Salem soldier killed by roadside bomb in Iraq on Nashua Telegraph
With every lost Solider a Gold Star mother is made. We are reminded of the human cost of continuing this war not only in Iraq, but the other theaters opened in Afghanistan.

Since January 20, 2009 the total American Deaths has reached over 100. Eighteen American Soldier’s suicides per day, over 320000 brain injuries, and the list continues.

Military families must bond together to bring real change home by bringing our troops home now. Today, Moms and Dads are being deployed as part of the Army’s IRR (Army's Individual Ready Reserve), but yet no one is questioning “why.”

Lisa Pagan was honorably discharged from the Army four years ago but was called back up because she is on individual ready reserve status. Pagan has fought the activation, saying that her husband travels for work and, with no relatives to help them, there will be no one to watch their two kids if she is deployed to Iraq. So far her arguments have fallen on deaf ears, so she decided to take her kids with her to Ft. Benning to prove her point and make the Army see things her way.

If the current Administration wants to continue the prior deployment strategies and open more theaters then we should initiate the Draft to share the burden on the many rather then the few.

woodysix8 As a retired servicemember with many friends still in the service, I resent your comments.

I don't know MS. Pagan but last I checked she signed on for at least 8 years. However many active and the remainder she would be on ready reserve... Guess what??? We are in need and she is on the list to be called. It sounds as if her husband may have to "suck it up" and live up to his commitment to her. If that means staying home with the kids, then so be it.

My heart goes out to SGT Lo's family and friends and also to all the men and women who defend this great nation.

"I'm ignoring your rant of wrongness on Pres. Obama, as it is so untrue it doesn't deserve a response." The moonbats are out in full force tonight... Flutter flutter flutter...

in Reagan's wisdom no less relevant today on Nashua Telegraph
Obama has turned out to be a 3rd term GWB. Pumps more money into illegal wars, pumps more money into failing greedy companies, pumps more money into earmarks and lobbyist (after all Lobbyist are people too), pumps more flip flops then any other president....

Biden was right during the primaries... Obama is unfit to lead.... Obama is showing that he is a racist, a crook, and thief... Sounds like the Chicago Mafia is in the White House.

SLR Your hatred of he who defeated Hillary is tiresome. Obama is not GWB and will never be. It's going to be a long 4, possibly 8, years for you. Your accusations in this post just shows you to be uninformed and angry. It also shows that you can pump a lot of venom in to two short paragraphs. People can certainly disagree vigorously about his decisions but unfit to lead? Racist? Crook? Thief? Chicago Mafia? Really, Alice?
commonwealth Banks just gave back 68 billion of the TARP money, plus 2 billion in interest to the taxpayers under President Obama's watch.

I'd say nice going Obama, keep it up.

Racist? really? no proof, rhyme or reason for that whopper of lie.

Obama didn't start the illegal war in Iraq, but he will end it.

in Dream Act good first step toward immigration reform on Nashua Telegraph
A well written article by a LAWYER and HACK. .

Let's see American and legal immigrants cannot afford to go to college... There is a limited number of seats in colleges that will be occupied by an illegal immigrant child.

Children of those who serve in the military cannot afford to go to college. We cannot afford to even send our poor to college, let alone open the flood gate on let millions of illegal immigrant children into college.

Enrique Mesa Jr., and George Bruno open your wallet and you are quite welcome to pay for their college education. Just take your hand off my pocket book.

in Time to reverse trend of illegal immigration on Nashua Telegraph
*Unemployment rate is at an all time high since the Jimmy Carter days. More illegal immigrant’s means less jobs for Americans and more slave labor for businesses.
*Commonwealth’s victim statement: “…the Mexican government will shoot them.” Well, who remembers the American Revolutionary War, who remembers the Civil War, who remembers the 1960’s Civil Right Movement, Woman Suffrage, Gandhi, 1989 china Tiananmen Square?
*Lets start brining to jail the American Business who has helped create this problem and those politicians that have turned a blind eye.

in Governor disappoints this first-time voter on Nashua Telegraph
Like I said pass the darn law. This discrimination against couples in the name of religion must end. Lynch will sign with some weak language on protecting religious institutions, and then next year we will be back in full force to go after those religious leaders.

The Catholic Church is guilty of discrimination and child molestation. We will prevail in coming after any religious leaders that stand in our way. We need to allow couples to be marriage. Yeah, we will take an inch this year, to gain a mile next year.

in AP poll finds support for confirmation on Nashua Telegraph

Mr. Michael:

Thank you for your service to our country. The Democratic Leadership has only shown to use our fine men and women to assist in their political gains.

How silence the Antiwar crowd has become since Warbama has escalated all war fronts and has embraced McCain’s Middle East Strategies. Our troops have become collateral damage now that Obama is in office. We have over 120 soldiers Died since 01.20.09. Yet the media and antiwar movement have gone radio silent on this. Obama was either too naive about the pull out strategy or lied… either one is bad enough and Obama should be impeached with Bush on this.

Pelosi has pulled a Ronald Regan and does not remember if she authorized the water boarding. Yet the media only made a little peep about this. She too should be impeached with Cheney.

News on economy still a mixed bag?? What a Spin....

The only one mixed is the AP. Speak to the tens of million unemployed people. Go to the NH Job Fair to speak to the thousands standing in line to apply for a few jobs. Go drive down main street america and ask the businessperson who is putting up the out of business signs.

Obma-nomic is like Bush-nomics.... spend spend spend. Deflate the Dollar. Print money, borrow trillions from China, outsource GM to China, keep the border open for illegal aliens to fund industry thirst for cheap labor, have a million legal immigrants to replace current workforce with cheap labor....

in Housing law aims to help state keep its young workers on Nashua Telegraph
WOW more state sponsor discrimination. So if I am in my mid-40's, bisexual women and wanted to buy one of those those development of housing for young workers I would be denied due to my age?

So NH is now sponsoring age discrimination? Who is the knucklehead that came up with this? Perhaps it the same folks that want to deny same sex marriages?

I get the intent on what they are doing, but the means does not justify the ends with the housing law.

in Gay marriage letter not rooted in logic on Nashua Telegraph
Let’s pass the darn law. Then next year let’s go after those priest or associates who don’t want to officiate the weddings between gay couples. Let’s make some progress here.

The big fish to fry are those Catholic Priest and their refusal to recognize gay marriages. It would be great to start making examples of them after the years of torture they caused young molested boys.

If NH took the lure for civil unions then let them take the lure for current Marriage Bill as written. Next year will be a fun challenge.
1 reply
SLR Hey, Alice. Nice post! I agree with you 100% about the priests. Why aren't they already in jail? How is it possible that the hierarchy of the Catholic church is so powerful that they are above the law and are allowed to conceal the identity of sex offenders? Why aren't they in jail for facilitating the crimes over decades by protecting the criminals and, worse still, transferring the pedophile priests to new parishes after their crimes were known?

I'm glad you used the word "torture" in referring to the molestations. In a political climate where torture is such a hot topic, what about the violation of the Human Conventions? The sexual abuse of our children is torture without end.

You are right!!! WE CANNOT WAIT….

Let us pour trillions of dollars into the economy to get the oxygen flowing in order to prevent an unprecedented, systemic failure of the global economy.

Let’s give billions to corrupted mortgage bankers, Honeywell (the new Halliburton), and bailout everyone.

in Civilian deaths hurting U.S. image in world on Nashua Telegraph
Ms Miller:

Shame on you for using the Marines as your political band standing against the war. You have taken off your ENDTHISWAR bumper stickers off your Prius so quickly after when President Obama came in to the office.

President Flip Flop Obama is in full support of the Bush war legacy. Why are you not holding PRESIDENT OBAMA accountable? Bush lied and People Died. Did you know that Obama lied and over 65 troops have died under his watch? That is almost at the same death rate Bush had.

Warbama has escalated the Afghatstain theater over 65%. Warbama going into Pakistan, Warbama copying McCains 50 year war in Iraq. Have we not learned the lessons of the past administration. Warbama is going unchallenged with his war budget, his occupations, and killing of the troops.

Shame on you. New Hampshire Peace Action more like NH Hypocrite Action. Take off your hypocrite glasses and lets start holding Obama to his promise....

OLE_MT_MAN 50 percent of the population over 18 do not pay any taxes, they get tax refunds though.
That is the SAVIORS share the wealth.
Genghis_Khan IIRC Whoopie Goldberg was starting to complain. She lives in NYC, and was carping about the tax increases foisted on "the rich".

When I ask people I know to be liberal about their own tax habits (during discussions of the same - I don't just bring it up) I ask if they file any deductions. When the inevitable "yes" is given, I ask why they do, when to not deduct expenses, charity, mortgage interest, etc., is an excellent chance for them to pay more taxes.

When the equally-inevitable outrage comes, I just ask "So it's OK to tax others, just not you?"

"No, tax the rich." is the response.

What's TRULY rich is that many of these people have six-figure incomes. By the standards of most people, they ARE "rich". But somehow it's always the ones who make just a little more that are "rich".

"The rich" don't have enough money to tax to fix the deficit. I recall - probably not correctly - that if you took the top 5% of wage earners and took 100% of what they made it wouldn't make a dent in the actual deficit.

MICHAELEDWARD Alice, You are very wrong.

I have panoramic photographs of the part taken from 5:30 - 6:00. The park was NOT "full to the capacity".

Further, after some other comments, I opened up the photos in GIMP, and began counting bodies. It is laughable. If I am generous, and assume I miss two bodies for every one I count, there are still only about 400 people in attendance.

You just pulled that 3,500 number out of thin air.

in Pentagon was right to relax media ban on Nashua Telegraph
Since President Obama has taken office there have been as many deaths per day of American soldiers as there was under Bush. Yet, the media is hush hush on this. Obushma rate is almost at 1 per day...

President Obama in his first 70 days has escalated the Afghanistan war by 65%, has now putting returning “trouble soldiers” on the DHS Terrorist watch list, and carrying the water for McCain’s 100 year Iraq war. We will not see any photos in ANY MAJOR newspaper or media of the returning dead.

Of course the media will be actively looking to show these photos. Seeing returning dead American soldiers will ruin President Obama’s approval rating.

Obama has used the war during the primiaries for his politican gains. Now that he has one, the war is ok with him. Moonbats have taken off their antiwar stickers, the media has stopped reporting number of dead iraqis and American Soldiers...
