Hatred is the stock in trade for pretend conservatives.

They are not in love with anything except their own control of every single thing in everyone else's life.

Order is the top priority. All other things take a secondary importance.

Could you imagine the most immoral among us crying about the immorality of others? It's nothing short of amazing.

I moved to NH in 03 to get away from MA. It is AMAZING with what you can do here as oppsed to the the Soviet State of Mass. That being said i was DISMAYED when NH voted for a Democrat Munchkin for Governor and for KERRY - the biggest socialist in the Senate

I know you guys on the west coast have some pretty whacked ideas about conservatism, but do tyou realize you are at odds with the Republican governor of NH and allied with the state Democratic Party in opposing the FSP?

There are many sorts of authoritarians. Some should have been Mullahs, Mahdis, Muftis, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, Inquisitors, Grand-Inquisitors, etc.

JIHAD -- Mostly used in Muslim writing to denote ‘holy war.’ However, in mystical literature, this term was interpreted in its root sense of ‘exertion’ and came to mean an inner struggle for purification.

As long as they keep the Jihad an "inner struggle".
When it comes to them trying to "purify" the rest of us...

Then I retreat to the very northernmost portion of New Hampshire or some mountain redoubt which is defensible -- someplace where our liberties can be recovered and defended -- and where we can be left alone!

They will never, ever, leave you alone. You can run, but you can't hide.

The authoritarians will hunt you down no matter how well you hide to make sure, at gunpoint if necessary, that you don't take a forbidden substance or look at a picture of a nude person or break some other "law" they have written.

Thanks for the kind words D & H. For you and any of the others who are already in New Hampshire and want to hook up good communications with the local freedom lovers, come by NHfree.com

They have a really cool libery calendar there where you can find out what kind of liberty activity is going on (house testimony, small demonstrations, moving parties, socials, etc. ).

You can post your own events there or chat on the forum they set up in December, already operating at 80 posts per day. Let's roll!

But we can run and hide where they will leave us a lot more alone than what we have now. If our sorts, whether native, local, or newcomer, occupied most of the elected and appointed seats in local, town, city, county and regional governments then we sure could make it harder for the authoritarians to interfere with us. We just want to mind our own business and be left to live in peace.

Liberals and conservatives will never let that happen. They will use whatever force is necessary to make sure that they can continue to rule every aspect of your life.

So do we give up without a fight? Do we fight where we are -- outnumbered thousands to one? Or do we vote with our feet and move to someplace freer and someplace where several thousand of us or even several hundred of us can keep free and make freer? Someplace where we have the full rights guaranteed to us by our Bill of Rights? Even one county or section of Alaska would be an improvement. If we can muster only the classical "six hundred" then one part of one county in the lower 48 or one small borough in Alaska would be an improvement -- a refuge.

Coos County, Northern New Hampshire

Southeast Alaska (the Panhandle)

Crook County, Wyoming

Granite County, Montana

Anyone who thinks they know why New Hampshire elected John Lynch should have a look at the Secretary of State's town-by-town voting statistics.

All of the towns except along the Massachusetts border except for the far eastern ones near the crunchy college town of Portsmouth voted strongly for Benson - so much for the theory of Massachusetts transplants.

In fact, the Mass. transplants are moving to New Hampshire for exactly the same reasons the Free Staters are.

Benson lost by about 13,000 votes statewide, but he lost by about 14,000 votes in Concord alone - he upset too many featherbeds and shut down too many gold brick factories, so he pissed off the entrenched bureacracy and motivated all the laid-off leeches to vote against him.
