The libertarians wanted to take over New Hampshire with their Free State Project. I think trying to do that is probably not going to happen. But we could try taking over some very rural counties and doing the ideas locally.

A few hundred families would be able to exert an enormous influence on a county with a thousand or fewer residents. Imagine the County Board (called Commissioners Courts here) were all liberty-minded conservatives as would be the local judge and sheriff. It could work.

Privatizing roads, schools, libraries and all that would be a good start. It would be a great experiment in liberty to say the least.

By the way rural King County gave more than 93% of its votes to McCain and less than 5% to Obama. (village idiots)

The counties I was thinking about are... Baylor, Borden, Cottle, Foard (Faord?), King, Knox, Shackelford, and Throckmorton. I think those are the ones.

Thoughts?

The whole state of Texas are nothing at all.

That’s why the people in your “story” get mowed down. We must all speak as one.

I live in NH.

The “Free Staters” stand with us against the gun-grabbers and against the tax raisers, and against the state-funded church of humanism, AKA public-schools.

But the Problem with the “Free Staters” is that they don’t see “Genderless Bathrooms” and “Genderless Marriage” as a threat to their rights.

They will be in for a very unpleasant surprise when they get brought before the NH Human Rights Commission, which already exists (!), tried without a jury, fined into poverty, and imprisoned, if they ever say anything to offend one of the 72 genders mentioned in arguments before the NH Legislature.
