I don’t see how this could be possible. Obama would never allow a State freedom and Obama is not going away.
this is a good article.
It seems that the FSP has somewhat morphed. Certainly looking in from the outside, NH just gets more and more socialist....I never agreed with NH (not that anyone asked, of course). I thought it was already too far gone...in any event, a good piece.
I would like to read how they decided on New Hampshire over Wyoming. Sounds like a bad decision; I would like to read how they reached it.
Free Staters in NH have been mostly a blessing.
They were a tremendous help in destroying the RAT effort to implement one of the most restrictive homeschool laws in the country. The RATs that fostered that effort did not run for office again, being thoroughly discredited.
The Free Staters often carry in the open, which has acclimated a lot of the public and police on open carry. Some police in the more rural towns consider them as backup if needed, so there is mutual respect there.
The problem is that they don’t see the threat of giving in to the rainbow agenda. Free Staters are predominantly libertarian and very live-and-let-live. What they don’t seem to recognize is that the homos will not leave anybody alone and will use the government to force people to bow at the rainbow altar.
Another problem is the open smoking of pot, especially in Keene. Most of us find these antics humorous, but the problem is that they tend to alienate the more solid, old-time NH conservatives.
They are having an effect, though. In a conversation I had with a policeman the other day, he told me that he thought marijuana should be legalized, but not coke or heroin. So, they seem to be gaining some traction there.

Does John Galt live there?
I first heard of the FSP around 2008, probably heard about here on FR. I looked into it and thought to move to NH, however circumstances arose that negated the thought, I just forgot about it, it’s interesting to read it is still going on, of course the idea of freedom is hard if not impossible to stifle, I hope it strengthens but as it does; the obstacles to it will strengthen as well.
As far as Bitcoin, I own some as an investment and I’m not afraid to talk about it, I can only afford at this time to buy in small quantities, usually a tenth of a coin at a time, it does at fifty to a hundred dollars a month accumulate at a good pace, I believe it is here to stay, and those who ridicule it as an investment, will be doing some head banging in a few years...IMO!
Puerto Rico is the only place for a libertarian state. There are no federal taxes, no obamacare mandates, and the government is actively promoting capitalism. It can be the Hong Kong of the Carribean.
