Libertarians Look for a State to Call Their Own. (Free State Project)

Plans are under way for an invasion of New Hampshire. Or Wyoming. Or maybe Delaware, Montana or Alaska. Sparsely populated and independent in spirit, they're all attractive targets for a certain bloodless coup in the making.

Within the next several years, according to the plan, 20,000 Libertarians would move to a single state and begin infiltrating. They'd get jobs, join civic groups, get elected and take a hatchet to taxes and laws. In this utopia called the Free State Project, schools would be severed from the state, gun-control laws abolished, drugs legalized, health and social services privatized, and most federal aid rejected. Government's only job would be to protect against "force and fraud."

The individual states AND Congress. First, you'd have to get a majority of the respective state legislatures (Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota--if the proposed state of "Superior" were to have its old boundaries) to approve these areas leave the states, then submit the proposal to Congress.

[Protagoras]

The Libertarians national socialists I see here on FR usually claim that society has no the only rights.

[Catspaw]

And we use mind control beams on the Moderators.

Are the Moderators like Schmoos? More importantly, do they taste like Schmoos?

[Roscoe]

More importantly, do they taste like Schmoos?

I suppose it depends on how you prepare them. Perhaps one of them could tell us.

[Protagoras]

And we use mind control beams on the Moderators.

No, you use your mouses. Click on the abuse button and cry like sniveling little children. You have already done it once on this thread. And you still don't deny your email alert system. Because you know it's true and you would be shown to be a liar to your confederates if you denied it.

[Dead Corpse]

The 'Bots approve of people being liars as long as they spout the SAME drivel they do. Only towing the line is allowed.

'Beam me up, roscoe'

Its pretty obvious that old fashioned cronyism rules the day at FR.
No beams needed.

[Catspaw]

Wow, Roscoe, I didn't know you were important enough to invoke such swift and deep paranoia. Me, I just control the world by virtue of my one share of stock in the Green Bay Packers.

[Protagoras]

Paranoia? Please explain?

[Protagoras]

Wow, Roscoe, I didn't know you were important

He's not.

[Catspaw]

No need. I figured you're psychic.

[tpaine]

Roscoe important?
Not at all 'cat'. He just seems so, - compared to an obvious lightweight like you.

[Protagoras]

No need. I figured you're psychic.

Translation,, you make a charge but then crawl away.

[Catspaw]

No, you use your mouses. Click on the abuse button and cry like sniveling little children. You have already done it once on this thread. And you still don't deny your email alert system. Because you know it's true and you would be shown to be a liar to your confederates if you denied it.

Prove it. Prove every accusation.

[Protagoras]

And you still don't deny your email alert system. Because you know it's true and you would be shown to be a liar to your confederates if you denied it.

Have you ever sent or received any communication, other than by publicly pinging, that informed you of certain threads?

(please remember the commandment concerning false witness)

[Catspaw]

You made the accusation. The burden of proof is on you.

[Protagoras]

Your boy seems to have desserted you.

Now your turn to answer the question.

[Catspaw]

Sorry, you made the accusations. Prove them, each and every one. Of course, that is, unless you've abandoned the US code of justice and have moved to France.

[Protagoras]

This is not a court of law. You also refuse to answer the question. There is a reason for that.

The little cowards have all fled and left you to swing in the wind by yourself. Why not use the secret alert sysytem to call them back? LOL
