A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.
Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and
Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and
Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and
Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and
Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the tenth amendment, the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

You're right. It'll be manned by MEN so dumb they couldn't pour piss out of a boot, even with instructions written on the heel of the boot.
That is funny! LOL. But, please don’t disrespect Lynrd Skynrd.
As in “Is this a modern building?”

My socialist Abe Obama loving FRiend, I do think we have ONE thing in common, WE BOTH WANT THIS DIVORCE.
And we're used to your inferiority complex. Quite frankly, I've never understood the whole "Masshole" thing. People from MA and NH are exactly the same; they're only separated by an artificial border. But the NH people have a chip on their shoulder about it.
Come buy some more beer and cigarettes up here will you?
Sure. And you feel free to come down here to buy your gasoline---it's cheaper down here.
Bingo. It may take 50 years, too. So be it.
FWIW In 2005, NH got back US$0.83 for every dollar they sent to washington.
Damn right. The old boundaries like the Mason-Dixon line don’t apply any more. Yes, most of the revolutionary fervor (and man and gun power) will come from the south, but we will have outposts right in the middle of yankeeland itself.
And if things get bad enough, we won’t even have states. We’ll have county rule.
Would it be offensive to suggest that those FEMA camps could be used for housing insane leftits?
It's basically a shot across the bow of Obama, Pelosi, and the Fed gov, saying, "We've had all we can take. One more step to take away our rights and liberties and make us slaves of a socialist state, and it's over."
We believe in inalienable rights. The government is an entirely different story.
Their are no non-socialist politicians above the Mason-Dixon. If there truly are any freedom-loving Constitutionalist Americans left in Yankee land, let them come here now. I believe it is hopeless to wait for a political solution. Waiting and watching. Sorry it's physically impossible to stand shoulder to shoulder with somebody 1000 miles behind the front lines so to speak.
Enjoying this thread.
Some of us just aren’t able to at the moment.
If I had plenty of money in the bank and a car, I’d try getting the heck out of here as fast as I can.
Dead wrong. Visit rural Nebraska sometime.
And there's no shortage of Marxist sycophants in the South, either.
I know what I'm talking about; I've lived in both places. Have you?
This isn't a regional thing. It's an American thing. Are we going to be the nation Jefferson and Madison intended, or the nation Antonio Gramsci and Saul Alinsky intended? Pick one, or the other.
I haven’t seen you this feisty in years.
Your words don’t make a lick of sense. Explain your reasoning and I’ll gladly argue with you. Where do I think the Massholes will go??? Well, it’s not all Massholes, Durus. There are A LOT of New Yorkers in the Keene area and other Northwest counties of NH. More than you would ever think.
I believe that seceding from the union is a good idea. You don’t. But it’s no excuse to get nasty. Are you one of those who believe in “free speech” unless it’s speech that differs with your opinions? Seem like it.
You need to understand the difference between "warfare" in 2013 and warfare in 1863.
I'm using "warfare" in the broadest sense of "stuff done to achieve political objectives". It doesn't necessarily involve firing a single shot in anger. Gandhi freed India without an army. Lech Walesa and the Pope and Reagan and Thatcher brought down the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Khomeini took over Iran while sitting in Paris (!) by circulating sermons on cassette tape. (!!)
Think outside the box. Way outside.
Vomiting on this thread with ad hominems and doing everything your simple mind can conjure up to distract from the gravity of NH's shot across the bow of the feral government doesn't speak well of your conservative credentials. Your feeble attempts to insult and ridicule efforts by those that hunger for ANY movement by ANYONE to reclaim their God given rights (allegedly)guaranteed by our Constitution is the ultimate foolishness. What exactly would you propose as another venue to tweak the noses of those that would be our masters?
I'm only ashamed that the great state of Texas wasn't the first to fire the shot.
