Not at all, hopefully it will spur thought provoking discussion and debate. We also would like to ask that you be an active poster in other topics of your interest as well.Do you have any objections if I post occasional update here regarding
the fury of action this unusual scheme has generated inside the "Free State?"
That's a shame. They did the same thing to Maine, now Maine has higher taxes than Mass. Our property taxes are so high, all the Maine people had to sell their prime oceanfront and lake side properties to the rich liberals. That is why I always laugh when folks say Republicans are the party of the rich. Look at where the liberals in the country are. They had a good laugh at us poor folk, and bought the State right out from under us. I am waiting for the monster forest fire that will destroy everything they stole for pennies on the dollar. What goes around, comes around.However, more people from Massachusetts have been moving to NH in recent years because of what their liberal politics have done to that state. Unfortunately, many of them are bringing those very same politics to New Hampshire.

They chose the right state. There is strong local support for many of the goals expressed. New Hampshire has a very libertarian strain in their traditional conservative politics. However, more people from Massachusetts have been moving to NH in recent years because of what their liberal politics have done to that state. Unfortunately, many of them are bringing those very same politics to New Hampshire. There is, consequently, a growing disparity in the political philosophy of Rockingham County and the lower Merrimack Valley and most of the rest of the state.
I with them well and I hope they can enact some positive change.
If that is true, then why did New Hampshire vote for Kerry in 2004 whereas it voted for Bush in 2000? Methinks the Union Leader is understating the slide to the Left in order to keep the Right and the Liberty-minded folk ignorant of the real threat until it is too late.DadaOrwell said:The Union Leader did an investigation last year regarding whether Mass. immigrants were liberals. In fact they determined that the majority of Mass escapees voted for George Bush this time and did so in significantly higher numbers than those who already lived here.
Certainly it would be fun to be surrounded by semi-organized and active freedom lovers. Nevertheless, once you look outside your cloistered circles, you are vastly outnumbered across that state. You need to have your active freedom lovers in all the seats around government board tables as well as around restaurant tables. The slide to the left may be too much for a few hundred average libertarian activists to stop. What are you doing to make sure that all 20,000 will be activist enough to stop that slide? That was the deal, right? That all 20,000 would be activists who would do their utmost? How is the recruiting going? Surely there are hundreds of thousands who would join if they were assured that they would eventually be a majority that wins elections.I do want to stress although there is a long way to go for full freedom even here, certain things are already in place that don't exist elsewhere, primarily the social situation where you are almost surrounded by semi-organized and active freedom lovers. It's *fun*
