NH-FSP President demands apology from Concord PD for implying FSP is terrorist org.

[familydog]

Read Rothbard again - his point is that The Free State An-Caps property rights were not violated. If An-Caps accept the concept of libel, they are accepting the rules of "the State", which they claim to be illegitimate.

You are correct that no property rights were violated. That's not my point. Suing an imaginary entity for a violation of an imaginary rule also does not violate property rights. Not when that imaginary entity can only exist by violating those rights. It's like criticizing a child playing make-believe for following the rules of a made up game.

The FSP is neither ancap nor anarchist. It doesn't take positions on such things. You do make some interesting points, though. I doubt the FSP will sue, even though the FSP President is a former lawyer.

I think if nothing else the FSP should at least join in a class action suit against the IRS regarding the nonprofit scandal. I saw Sorens make a post on the FSP forum about applying for that status a few years back and being rejected due to some nonsense about it being affiliated with the Liberatarian Party. With that issue actual damage can be shown, as well as ideological favoritism.

They need to be held accountable because by allowing them to saddle the FSP with that moniker, is giving them future ammunition to start rounding you guys up under provisions in the Patriot Act for "homegrown terrorists".

Could FSP be going about this the wrong way? Why don't they fill out one of those grant forms to get their own damn tank?

That might violate every principle, but a fair argument can be made that the government ought not be arming only one side. Plus it might be funny.

Agreed. The Patriot Act in all actuality was set up for us, not foreign terrorists. Also: John Warner Defense Authorization Act and NDAA The targets are the American Al Qaeda.

Exactly. That and one of the first questions I get asked, when working with liberty groups outside of New Hampshire, is if I a a Free Stater. Will I lose business now they are labeled a terrorist group? I know one farm had their products rejected by a restaurant because they found out the farm works with Free Staters. State police have already been asking people if they were Free Staters if they had liberty stickers on their cars.... It is coming and we must legally fight back.

The AP picked up an updated version of the story. Fantastic, AP! Get the FSP in front of the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, if not more. Maybe this will encourage liberty folks to look into the FSP and discourage statists? Every little bit helps.
