ISTR New Hampshire is the destination if the “Free State” movement.

WTF? Who’s Brainiac idea was that? Frigging bunch of Fruitloops. ARGH!

[paul544]

Just once I’d like to hear about a state becoming more conservative. First California, Colorado, now NH... Sometimes it feels like we’re fighting a losing battle.

[mowowie]

Hey, Not all of us are Massholes!!!

only about 78% are..........I really gotta move...sigh.
Maybe NH? :)

[ncpatriot]

that’s the truth...and they are always in-your-face liberals who “know best” even tho the mtn natives have done quite well

I first started noticing this about 7-8 years ago, on my trips to New Hampshire. It has gotten a little worse each time I’ve gone back. I’m hoping enough Granite Staters with the old-time values remain, to repel the Mass. lib invaders and teach the values to their children.

Louisiana seems to be getting more conservative.

“And George M. Fodor, 62, a former Bay Stater, said, “It’s vitally important that the ‘traditional character’ change as quickly as possible so that New Hampshire can enter the 21st century. Phony conservative values are an anathema to everything our country . . . represents.”

Can everyone spell I-D-I-O-T??? This guy and ALL those like him, are exactly what is wrong with this country!

I don’t blame NH for not wanting MA culture and nanny state policies there, heck even MA doesn’t want it. Only those who believe in nothing, and will fall for anything, like this dope above.

Hey Idiot, Communism, socialism, liberalism, progressivism or whatever they are calling it now a days is so 20th century

“Like Yankees moving down South and telling us we should do things like they do up North.”

I hear you. You have my sympathies especially if they are the kind of Massholes I encounter on a daily basis. Hopefully, at least they aren’t as loud as the NY/NJ transplants?

"...Like Yankees moving down South and telling us we should do things like they do up North..."

I went 37 years before I heard a person, in all seriousness, refer to another human as a "damn northerner". Now I live in Texas and I hear it all the time. Heck, I even use the term!

I’m throughly convinced that the people of NH don’t care if they become another suburb of Boston, that’s why they keep electing Democrats like Karol Che Porterski. Most people here would vote for Kennedy and Kerry for Senator if they could.
I moved here hoping to find a state where the government wanted to stay out of my way but I found a govt filled with nosey democrats spending money and raising taxes.
My property taxes have gone up every year along with my sewer, water and automobile registration “fees”.
We now pay at extra $30 in city “fees” that didn’t exist two years ago.
The recent toll increase was another one. Most idiots didn’t care because it wouldn’t effect them because they don’t use that road and it was “mainly for tourists”. Same with gay marriage and the government taking healthcare decisions out of the parents hands.
Just like most didn’t care when they took away the option for business owners to allow smoking in restaurants. Now most people want some form of government run healthcare system.

The “free state project” hasn’t had the intended effect.
