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.

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.
