Opinion: The Queen of Burning Bridges

Terese Bastarache

Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the Free State Project (FSP) and its leadership, and it’s opened my eyes to some troubling shifts. After this past legislative eye-opening session, I’ve grown increasingly concerned about the direction certain libertarian factions are taking. In a candid X post, I shared, “I’m increasingly concerned with FSP leadership (emphasis on leadership) … Read more

Irony Alert … Ross Berry

Ed Mosca

Here is a good one: Ross Berry criticizes union leadership on X for not representing union workers. The irony apparently escapes Berry. Berry and his fellow Republican “leaders,” Jason Osborne, Joe Sweeney, etc., do NOT represent Republicans.

How a Church Directory Lead To Outrage

Op-Ed

A lot of people move to New Hampshire to find liberty. Whether they are liberty conservatives, libertarians, free-staters, or simply ex-Californians, the number of people who identify with the Live Free or Die ethos that makes New Hampshire a unique destination appears to be growing.

Free Staters Cannot Be Lumped Together in One Category

Op-Ed

Regarding the recent letter by Rep. Mike Bordes: Oh, come on, Mike! Libertarians represent more like what the Republican Party used to be back in the day than the current real RINOS who don’t stand for freedom and fiscal responsibility and our state and country constitutions.

Is She Saying That We, the People, Are Extremists?

Op-Ed

Regarding the letter by Linda Terwilliger about voting for candidates that support public schools, nothing to see here but gas lighting. I certainly don’t know who Ms. Terwilliger is. I wonder, does she work for a non-governmental organization? The public school system? Who is the “we” she speaks of?

A Few Thoughts on Sun-King Sununu’s Rant Against “Libertarians”

Ed Mosca

Steve has a must-read post up about a rant by New Hampshire’s selfie-obsessed Sun King Chris I-Am-The-Constitution Sununu in which, using Steve’s words, Sununu declares that: … if you disagree [with the Sun-King], leave the [Republican] Party [because that disagreement shows you are a Libertarian, not a Republican] and join the Libertarians. … A few … Read more

Notable Quote – Tom Palmer

Skip

“As you go through life, chances are almost 100 percent that you act like a libertarian. You might ask what it means to “act like a libertarian.” It’s not that complicated. You don’t hit other people when their behavior displeases you. You don’t take their stuff. You don’t lie to them to trick them into letting you take their stuff, or defraud them, or knowingly give them directions that cause them to drive off of a bridge. You’re just not that kind of a person.

As Glenn Reynolds says, ‘Heh’

Via Instapundit: “This is probably why John McCain and Lindsay Graham have their panties in a wad: Rand Paul filibuster energizes Tea Party against GOP establishment.” Meanwhile, seen on Facebook:

Silver Circle, the Movie

I believe the very first showing of this extraordinary movie was in the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire. The people who worked on creating it have attended the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival every year. Great artists. Even greater political truth-tellers. Hercules movie star and LA truth-teller Kevin Sorbo has worked … Read more

Stupidity, Civility, And The Continued Assault on Free Staters

Steve MacDonald

This was originally part of my previous post on pull quotes I found amusing but turned into something else that would have distracted from the previous post being purposefully short and the other quotes getting a shot a some discussion.

…

In the Union Leader article,  “Free State Movement Not Embraced by All Granite Stater’s” once you get past the “No Sh**” moment presented by the title of the article,  or the fact that this is written like some kind of hit-piece on Republican Mark Warden, and the Second amendment, and Liberty, we can focus on a quote from Democrat Aaron Gill, who having lost to “Free Stater” Mark Warden in an election where state Democrats were winning seats as if Obama could just give them away…

“I’m gay, and I didn’t want the government telling me I couldn’t get married,” Gill said. “But after a while I learned that the world doesn’t function that way. I guess I was really a Democrat all along but just didn’t realize it.”

There are Free Stater’s who are Democrats, or didn’t you know that?

We let Democrats define the terms of our defeat

Carolyn
When Democrats set the terms of the 2012 campaign for state and federal offices, Republican leaders blew their horns about jobs and the economy and counted on their position of strength and the glaring weaknesses in their enemy’s lines to secure victory. Republicans lost because they forgot to tell the troops about the Democratic weaknesses. Democrats took advantage of the oversight and rolled over the field.

Democratic victories last Tuesday quite simply reflected a tactical failure of top-ticket Republicans to defend the party’s message. This wasn’t a failure of Republican principles, but a failure to define and defend Republican principles. Democrats successfully distracted voters with complete fabrications of reality, and Republicans let them do it without response.

Predictably, Republican Party leaders assumed that the people had enough of the social issues and wanted to focus on the economy instead—and by in large, Republicans successfully governed on economic recovery issues during the past two years. Democrats understood the visceral nature of social issues and successfully tarnished liberty as the enemy of their carefully crafted relationship between business and government. Republicans didn’t respond, despite the prescient need. They thought that by ignoring the problem it would go away.
