"Revolt of the Porcupines"
This is the latest media coverage of the Free State Project, our movement which is working to bring 20,000 liberty lovers to New Hampshire, reduce government, etc.
It is a dang shame what those people have done to NH.
I'm sure the 200 free staters who have moved there so far have had a tremendous impact. Its the liberals escaping just across the border from Mass that have caused the decline.
Howlin,
You know I have tremendous respect for you, but you have no clue what you are talking about here. The FreeStaters started moving to NH just over 1 year ago, and officially something like 200 have done so.
As I posted in the above thread, its the liberals from Mass who are the problem.
porqu-ping!
My first husband was from New Hampshire; I started going there in 1973; it was a wonderful place to go; clean, quite.
By the time I stopped going up there, you couldn't get down the street for all the motorcycles and "tree huggers." You couldn't even sleep at night for all the noise of cars and cycles.
I never said it was the Free Staters; the dregs of the 60's got there way before they did.
On multiple posts you refered to "they" and "them" (FreeStaters) and what had been done to NH.
I believe if you look back, you'll see I was referring to "stoners," which is exactly what I said in my last reply to you.
Yes, you were. The poster who said "Stoners Unite" was talking about the FreeStaters and then you proceeded to say "It is a dang shame what those people have done to NH."
Those people in your comment were the FreeStaters.
I hear the sound of thundering [if tiny] hooves....

You anywhere around Laconia while all this was a-goin' on, by chance?
By virtue of the vanishingly small 3% unemployment rate here in New Hampshire due to its status as the most economically free state in the nation.
Well, we've all got to have something to do once we get here, right? Maine recently sold off their state-run liquor stores, perhaps New Hampshire will be next if someone wants to take up that particular battle.
and
foreigners moving into the US and instead of accomodating themselves to the US insisting the US accomodate to them
Because unlike some foreigners, we cherish and hew to the founding principles of this nation - limited government, individual rights, and personal responsibility, and we selected a state which was among the best in the nation with respect to those issues.
We're not coming here in order to insist that New Hampshire "accomodate to us," we're coming here because New Hampshire is already very accomodating.
It has a centuries-old tradition of small, responsive government and a proud history of liberty, and we want to help those who are already here - many of whom moved here decades ago for the very same reasons set forth by the FSP - to nurture and encourage that tradition of freedom.
Howdy, archy. Are you planning on leaving Texas for the Granite State? I'm in NY and am planning to move to NH as soon as possible. So looking forward to not having to see Hillarys and Patakis and other Commies and RINO scum on my ballot, I can certainly enjoy more personal and economic freedoms too!
And it doesn't hurt any that the gal of my dreams lives 16 miles SW of Nashua NH, either :-D
Alot of us will bring our jobs, particularly if we own the company. I hope to be there in time for the 2008 election. Hopefully we can turn the tide on the democrats who were horrified that we had chosen NH as the state to move to.
