Libertarians Look for a State to Call Their Own. (Free State Project)

I've decided to stay and take my country back from the Nazis.

[Kevin Curry]

The country that used to be free was this one.

"*Sniff* I'm happy. Really, I am . . . *sniff*"

[Catspaw]

I don't know why they want just a state. After all, the feds will swoop in from time to time to bust a bunch of dopers tending their pot fields, to haul away folks who have their computer hard drives chocked full of kiddie porn. Nope, I think they've set their sights too low. They need a WHOLE COUNTRY. Now we know it doesn't have to be a really big country, maybe a middlin' sized island in an area of their choice--maybe the Caribbean, maybe Beaver Island. They could enact their own Constitution, their own laws (optional, of course), and squabble among themselves.

I think it's the perfect solution, don't you?

[Kevin Curry]

IOW "Life is so miserable and unbearable here I've decided to stay and flap my gums fecklessly."

[Protagoras]

You have decended into demensia. Slap yourself son, you are hallucinating about places which do not exist.

I never said anything about liberty robbing countries, only whackos who are trying to turn my country into a violent theocracy. Don't worry, you will find lots of places to dwell, you don't even have to make them up, Iraq, Iran, N Korea, the possibilites for your happiness are endless.

[Kevin Curry]

Baffin Island. It's big, it's remote.

Cannibalism might be a problem after a month or two. But as long as it was consensual . . .

[Kevin Curry]

Oh, I'm very happy here. Apparently you are too. You haven't left yet.

[Protagoras]

I keep telling you guys, I'm happy here. It's not miserable, but it will be better when you guys are safely in the "home".

[Kevin Curry]

I'm happy here

The quit b*tching.

Game over.

[Roscoe]

Somalia and the Libertarian Nation Foundation.

[Protagoras]

Oh, I'm very happy here. Apparently you are too. You haven't left yet.

Of course you are happy here, you can spew your hate without living in the squalid conditions that are spawned by it. You are squatters.

[Protagoras]

Not a chance I will give you and the other Hitler youth a pass. Game over

[Roscoe]

squalid conditions

There's more to America than your apartment

[Protagoras]

My apartment? Hey I don't go your way. You stalking me? LOL

[Catspaw]

Somalia, Baffin Island...as long as it's nice locale for Looneytunia.

[Roscoe]

Or Heinlein's Coventry.

[jjm2111]

I like your post.

[jjm2111]

They are trying. They just mounted the most successful ballot inititive in state history. To repeal the state income tax. The Republicans opposed it.


Could you provide me with a link? I never heard about this. It would figger that the Mass RINOs would oppose it.

[Hadean]

The only reason Dems in MA want to eliminate the income tax is so they can keep on jacking the sales tax.

[nopardons]

I didn't write that, I am NOT " bitter " ( you're projecting again, dear ! ), you can't handle civil refutation, and seem to have little to no control over your emotions. Do, please get help. :-)
