Welcome to NH. Keep on coming.

[DeuceTraveler]

Good for them. And why not? The liberal radicals have Vermont.

[GraniteStateConservative]

We're hearing that Claremont is going to be one of the top destinations for the Free Staters.

[Sam Cree]

This is so ironic.

[BostonianRightist]

Maybe there could be a violent outburst on the NH/VT border. If so i'll come to help the libertarians.

[Gumption]

One frequently asked question on the project's Web site was "Can't you make a warmer state an option?"

Hydroponic technology makes the climate a non factor. ;^)

[Wallace T.]

When Delaware has the warmest climate of the states listed as libertarian destinations, you know they are looking at the cold weather country. What ever happened to the 1970s era libertarian plan to take over a tropical island and create an independent country?

"Can't you make a warmer state an option?"

Warm states have large and growing populations. By definition, you need a backwater if you want to stack it with enough cult-members to make a difference in local elections.

[DeuceTraveler]

Where is Ethan Allen when you need him?

[Durus]

Cult members huh...Don't have much of an opinion there do you?

[Joe Driscoll]

We're hearing that Claremont is going to be one of the top destinations for the Free Staters.

Does this mean that in the near fututre Claremont will politely decline state aid for education?

If NH succeeds becoming a Liberterian State, I think there will be a drop in US expatriation to Belize, Cayman Island and etc due to the big government policies of the GOP and Democrats. I think NH will become a haven for more wealthy people who do not want to leave US and want to be left alone. I hope the Liberterians succeed. I will retire to the state.

I don't believe in the Libertarian creed because I think it will make things worse rather than better (in the real world). However, I wish them luck in this endeavor. This should either prove they are right or prove they are wrong.

Mr. Somma, who grew up in Brooklyn, confessed that he and his wife moved for lifestyle reasons, too, not just political ones.

How ludicrous to hear of loons who move somewhere with the express purpose of imposing their non-judgmentalism onto their nextdoor neighbor's evil behaviors.

[headsonpikes]

How ludicrous to hear of loons...

Have you ever considered taking up the writing of children's nonsense poetry?

I think you might be a natural! ;^)

The rest of your post is incoherent as well as nonsensical, however, and there's no market for that.

[Dead Corpse]

Still trying to figure out what he has against Loons. Beautiful birds.

[headsonpikes]

Beautiful birds.

With a haunting cry.

You should be happy they will no longer be spoiling anyone's chances for a RINO to win in any of the other 49 states. The people in the one poor state that will be oppressed by libertarians can think of it as their sacrifice to the residents of the other 49 states which will then become unencumbered by such burdensome things as freedom and individual liberty.

[gcruse]

freedom and individual liberty.

There's another article on the forum somewhere that
describes conservatism as being founded on the
beliefs in freedom and individual liberty.  America
is in the throes of Bait and Switch.

[RJCogburn]

Oh good. I'm glad to learn that you will not becoming to NH.

Stay away.

Thanks.
