Creating a Free Town or County

I'm up for it, but am looking at Idaho.

Unless you want to live some place in the state where it's pretty much impossible to make a living, ID is:
Overpriced (real estate)
Overtaxed (real estate)
Subject to emissions testing of vehicles
Difficult to find a good DX QTH

I had considered ID too, but rejected it for the above reasons. Of course, it does look much better if you only compare it to CA.

So, what about some small town in New Hampshire as Keith suggests? Who would be up for moving and making a little libertarian haven?

I'm still interested..not sure where..but had a setback so have had to back burner it for a couple of years.

I agree that, if we could only somehow, some way, get a small little island of real liberty (whether physical or metaphorical), we'd have the rest of the country clamoring for similar freedoms in no time. What we need is an American Hong Kong.

I think the only way we might ever achieve this politically is with a broad coalition compromise, where we basically say to the the uber-progressives, "help us create a small island for liberty, and we'll help you create a small island of progressive government, and then we'll both have the incubators and proving grounds we want." Maybe that would be a big enough coalition to wield the political force to make something happen.

That's what Carla, the president of the FSP, always says. She wants to help create a Yankee Hong Kong. I don't see most of her speeches, yet I've still seen 3 or 4 of her speeches where she mentions it. That seems to be her goal and maybe it will happen in New Hampshire?

A "progressive" knows he has the right answer and is not going to allow someone with a contrary opinion have the opportunity to demonstrate proof of concept.

Once you build it, you will have to be able to defend it.

I don't want to live around any uber progressives. For one thing they don't give a crap about liberty.

I cannot find this definition anywhere. Is it your personal view? Or do you have a source for it?

It is essentially the standard definition applied to a more generalized context. Generally Cult is defined in a religious nature, but Define:Cult on Google.
Is not that different.

So, yeah, I'm defining it slightly outside its common usage.

a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
"the cult of St. Olaf"
a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
"a network of Satan-worshiping cults"
synonyms: sect, denomination, group, movement, church, persuasion, body, faction
"a religious cult"
a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
"a cult of personality surrounding the leaders"
synonyms: obsession with, fixation on, mania for, passion for, idolization of, devotion to, worship of, veneration of
"the cult of eternal youth in Hollywood"
a person or thing that is popular or fashionable, especially among a particular section of society.
"a cult film"
