Personally I hope McCain steals more of Ron's Ideas. All of them would be nice. I might consider writing him a letter "Since you liked that idea from Ron Paul, Here are a couple more you might like"

also note that the constitution is not a contract like a warranty. For example, the bill of rights does not say "The people have the right to bear arms" it says "the people's right to bear arms shall not be infringed." (slightly paraphrased). The difference is that it isn't an agreement between...

I have heard of Jane Aitken, but to be honest, I rarely notice the names of people posting on forums, since I rarely know them personally. I have listened to NH Taxpayer Radio, actually, it was good, though I don't get to it often enough. Please do not take my post to be a personal hostility...

Are you talking about NH? If so, are you joking? NH has the lowest tax burden of any state except Saudi Alaska. New Hampshire has No Sales Tax. No Income Tax. New Hampshire was recently rated the least effective state government in the United States by the Pew research center, noting that...

just mark the "I'd rather be a slave than cold" option. The reasons may be different, but it amounts to the same thing.

As I remember, the professor who originally came up with the number for 20,000 people re looked at his research in light of the progress the FSP has made and came up with these conclusions: His 20,000 number was based on the assumption that the people would move there and do nothing but vote...

Now that I think of it, Secession was a consideration in the selecting of NH: NH has a seaport, and a border with Canada. The New England States are also pretty close-knit, even if not politically. (People in Mass and NH make fun of each other, but they like each other much more than anyone...

A couple things: First, the free state project is not anti-secession, there are a lot of people in the Free State project who are in favor of it, it simply isn't the first goal of the Free State Project. The FSP wants to promote a free state, where government is limited. If we can do that...

they could have, and they considered it. The ultimate decision was that freedom was more important than the inconvenience of having to brush snow off your car 4 months out of the year.

there already is a petition or two: http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/02/15/two-petitions-for-ron-paul-to-run-as-a-libertarian/

they waited until now because they wanted to be sure Mccain had won the nomination, so as to be sure he was the nominee and not someone harder to take down, also so they knew whom to attack. With the Wisconsin "win" people are considering him crowned, and now the media turns around and stops...

Allow me to make the case for NH: Low Population One of the strongest economies for a low population state (makes finding jobs easy) Lowest Tax burden, after Saudi Alaska One of only five states to OUTLAW RealID, not just pass a resolution saying "please don't" Tradition of Local Control...

The other way of looking at it is that laws protecting labor rights are often unnecessary, if the conditions aren't good, people can work somewhere else. This is only possible however, with less government regulation, as more government regulation means barriers to market entry which means less...
