Actually, on the face of it; it's not an entirely bad idea. I've often wondered what it would be like if groups of conservatives, not extremists, just strong conservatives, some Libertarians, could go into an area and 'settle' into it! It doesn't even matter what party, necessarily, (as long as it isn't Communist, or Nazi, etc..).

If liberals can do it, why then not us? It could be a subtle thing, just enough to not scare the liberals and put them on the defensive too much. It might not be too practical to do it on a sudden large scale, like this guy is suggesting.

But maybe a bit at a time, just doing what the extreme liberals are doing in some places. It makes me sick to see what some of these extreme left-wingers are doing in the states that were the 'cradles of the American Rev., such as Virgina, New York, Massachusettes, Vermont, New Jersey, etc..! Not to mention what they are doing to some states in the "Old West", or California!

The trick is to find a way to subsidize freedom. Something like granting militia service, firearms ownership, and homeschoolers tax credits for the police and school costs that the state doesn't incur. Something like granting people with sizable savings accounts a tax credit for the welfare payments they will not demand. Perhaps along the lines of giving toll highway users credit for cents off at the gas pump for the public roads they are not using.

Governments subsidize slaves, and slave holders, and have since time immemorial. The antebellum south required non-slave holders to serve in the militia to guard against potential slave rebellions. Now they subsidize welfare moms, and provide 3 hots and a cot for people who act so inappropriately that they end up in jail.
