Don't confuse personal disagreement with principles, Cultural Jihad.

Don't confuse telling someone to "drop dead" when they point out potential problems with an ingenious plan with rational debate.

In all seriousness, this idea has huge problems, and telling people to drop dead doesn't make the problem go away. To successfully take over a state, you're going to need a minimum of 493,783 people--and that's if you want Wyoming. You want Idaho? You'll need 1,293,954 people. Almost all of the low population states have serious problems with supporting a large influx of people. They're thinly populated for what are usually very sound reasons.

Maybe you need to start a Free County Project. You can pretty much move in and take over a single low-population county (good candidates include Niobrara County, population 2,407), assuming y'all want to live there.

Nice try, Poohbah, but it has become patently obvious that your more Puritanical Libertarians are one-note Johnnies and not detail-oriented at all. Their solution to getting rid of "socialism" (notice the depth and breadth of their problem-solving skills here) is to get rid of "socialism". That is the same sort of mentality that tells us we can achieve world peace simply by stopping all wars. The hows and whys and wherefores of how to actually achieve those ends and what ideologically pure systems would replace the ideologically suspect ones do not occur to them. The devil is in the details, and as I said, these people don't deal with details, only concepts.

Your comments about water were interesting. How would an ideologically "pure" state legislature ensure an adequate and safe water supply to the state without violating their Puritanical ideology, for instance? Who would pay for it? Where would the revenue come from? Interesting questions, but sadly, every last Lib on this thread has avoided these questions like the plague.
