When I first saw this article and the lead quote above it....
"Like Ghandi, like Martin Luther King, we need to educate and enlighten the public."
I was excited, thinking the Globe was doing a fair piece; however, I was quickly disabused of that notion as they lapsed into their typical one-sided hack job of any who do not swear fealty or who are not fooled by the agenda-pushing a**holes!!!!
"The appeal of 'Live free or die'; Antigovernment activists putting down roots in N.H." by Sarah Schweitzer, Globe Staff | May 29, 2009
Of course; look who wrote it.
KEENE, N.H. - .... His resistance has made him a folk hero among antigovernment types who have been making their way to New Hampshire from points across the country since their leaders put out a clarion call six years ago.

The Free Staters, as they are known, hope to lure thousands of like-minded souls to the state, with the goal of paring government to a bare minimum by eliminating things like taxes, speed limits, and zoning laws.
Yeah, and..... ?
Thus far, just 427 Free Staters have relocated. Yet, here in Keene and in pockets across New Hampshire, Free Staters are making their case in increasingly provocative ways.
Yup, WE are PROVOCATIVE -- but not the agenda-pushing gay-rights s***ters who have been bused into the region to push their agenda and are covered to nauseous degrees by the Globe.
"Like Ghandi, like Martin Luther King, we need to educate and enlighten the public," said Miller, who joined the Free State movement after breaking up with his fiancée.
Yeah, I heard that.
I guess Gandhi and King were TERRORISTS, too, 'eh, Globe? I know you certainly felt that way with King and his antiwar stance. One begins to wonder if the power structure didn't just use him for the divisive racial agenda; when he veered off into areas we all agree on, blam, dead!

And WHY mention his MARITAL STATUS?
WTF does that have to do with anything, you double-standard s***?
Oh, yeah, and here are the PROVOCATIONS!!!
The actions have ranged from the odd, such as when Free Staters filed another person's fingernails without a manicurist's license on a public sidewalk
Oh, HOW THREATENING! WTF you need a LICENSE for NAIL-CUTTING, anyway? Here's an idea: CUT YOUR OWN!!
or held an unlicensed puppet show
You are kidding on that one, right? In the LAND of the FREE you need a LICENSE for a PUPPET SHOW? HOW MUCH does THAT COST?
to the irksome, as when they tried to dig a garden in a downtown Keene park
Well, it IS PUBLIC LAND! You see, when the STATE does it, it is OKAY!
to the instigative, such as the day they stood on a street corner with a marijuana bud held aloft.
Gee, the Globe really has a problem with weed, doesn't it?
Except in certain places where they censor and hide things: Getting High at Harvard
Gee, that story went away almost as quick as this one: Reopening the Investigation of the Murder of Elizabeth Mun
Sometimes, they simply veer toward obstinate, wearing hats in a courtroom after being asked to take them off or refusing to remove a couch from a lawn.
Those are the provocative acts, huh?
When arrests have followed, Free Staters have sought to film the criminal proceedings from beginning to end, including scenes from courthouse lobbies, where filming is not allowed in some cases, such as in Keene District Court. The lobby filming has yielded more arrests (often, with Free Staters going limp as officers approach) and more footage that Free Staters post on websites such as FreeKeene.com, which has proved an effective recruiting tool.
Oh, yeah, I can SEE WHY the GLOBE IS UPSET!!
FREE CITIZENS INTRUDING on THEIR TURF!
The so-called liberty actions have been met with some bemusement by residents of this gently tolerant city, population 22,800, home to Keene State College, near the border of Vermont. But some say the tactics have taken on a menacing hue, such as when Free Staters have gathered on the streets of downtown Keene with holstered guns on their waists, visible on their waists.
I was WAITING for the STRING and there it is.
You know, there is something called the SECOND AMENDMENT!
And the SHOOTINGS in this country wouldn't be so bad if CITIZENS CARRIED GUNS because they could STOP some of these Manchurian psychos you throw at us, a**holes!
You know about Operation Bluebird, right, readers? And MK Ultra?
Please see: AmeriKan Shooting Gallery
Of course, the Globe is FINE with the COPS carrying assault weapons on the BEAT, sig heil!
"When they first came to town, there was a welcoming spirit. A lot of people were like, 'OK,' " said Richard Van Wickler, a Keene resident and superintendent of the Cheshire County Department of Corrections. "But unfortunately what happens is that when [Free Staters] take the radical approach, that invites people to get angry."
Yup, always our fault. I'm so tired of the one-sided Boston Globe and its s*** spew. I'm done.
More fundamentally unnerving, some say, is the Free Staters' efforts to secure government positions, with the goal of whittling down or eliminating them.
Oooooooohhhhhh, that's the REAL RUB to the PRO-STATE AGENDA-PUSHERS!!
No wonder RON PAUL NEVER GOT a FAIR SHAKE in the Globe (and how come he didn't do better -- rig job -- up there?)
The Free State Project's president, Varrin Swearingen, in a telephone interview, said the officials already are wielding influence.
Thus the globe hit piece!
For example, a Free Stater elected to a planning board in a town near Keene, which he would not identify, swayed the board to vote against a zoning ordinance restricting new big box stores, a measure the Free State member said unfairly restricted property rights.
Gee, why is the Globe pillorying them then?
The Free State Project is the brainchild of Jason Sorens, a State University of New York-Buffalo political science professor who published an article in 2001 in the online magazine Libertarian Enterprise outlining the idea. "Government should be there to protect people's rights but otherwise allow for the maximum amount of freedom," Sorens said in a telephone interview. "It goes back to John Locke and Thomas Jefferson."
Shows you that the government and MSM's lip service to the ideals is just that -- lip service!
The article made a splash in libertarian circles, and in 2003, some 2,500 followers of Sorens voted to make New Hampshire their laboratory, believing that the state's flinty individualism would jibe with its view of small government, limited to "protecting life, liberty, and property." Then former governor Craig Benson endorsed the group's plan, and would-be revolutionaries began trickling into the state.
Gees, a POLITICIAN ENDORSED THEM? How RADICAL can they really be?
Unlike militia groups in the West, Free Staters are not loners who seek to live solitary existences undisturbed by government intrusion. "You tend to find people [in the Free State Project] who are happy to live in cities and towns and who want to persuade people that freedom is better than tyranny," Swearingen said in an interview....
Hence the hit job; the lying, agenda-pushing jewspapers are committed to anything but.
The Keene Free Staters tend toward the far end of the Free State Project spectrum, believing that government should not just be limited, but eradicated.
I'm getting there myself if this s*** keeps up.
And did you ever notice the Globe has to SOURCE the MOST EXTREME POINT of VIEW available? I have. It's what is known as DISTORTION in service of AGENDA!
On a recent day, six Free Staters gathered at a Panera's in Keene to talk about the Project. The members hailed from across the country - Oklahoma, Florida, California, Nevada. Many are single men; the majority are computer programmers.
There is your threat! No wonder 'bamer wants a cyber-censor, 'er, czar.
They tend to speak in precise diction and with overarching politeness.
Provocative a**holes!
But at the mention of government, they betray a brimming anger and declare zealous dedication to the Free State Project.
Are LYING, LAND-STEALING, MASS-MURDERING ZIONISTS ever ZEALOUS, you piece of jewish shit?
Yup, I AM SICK of the SHIT GLOBE and its CRAP!! Yopu WONDER why we are ANGRY, crap-fucks?!!!!!!!!
I'm sorryfor the languagem readers, but the fact is I'm so angry I'm all over the keyboard with thypos@!!!!!
I am SICK of this REEKING, RANCID, FETID, SHIT-SLOP of ZIONIST FECES passing itself of as NEWS in a NEWSPAPER!!!!!!!!
I hope you CRASH and BURN, Globe! I'm SO GLAD you are LOSING $1, 600, 000 dollars a WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Short of death - no limits," said Canario, the lone woman at the gathering, who spent over a month in jail when she refused to provide identification or speak to a police officer who pulled her over for speeding.
BRAVO, lady!!!!
The Free Staters said they have no plans to temper their acts of civil disobedience, and if anything, will ramp up their attacks on the court system for not permitting them to film in the lobby. (Court officials say the ban is necessary to prevent the filming of children or domestic violence victims who may be present in the lobby.)
Yup, WE ATTACK now!
By doing what?
Planting some plants?
Holding up a marijuana bud (us voters practically legalized that here in Fascachusetts)?
PUPPET SHOWS?
But Free Staters, keenly aware of their image, have undertaken a public relations campaign.
Yeah, THANKS a LOT, s*** paper!
Hoping to end the use of parking meters, Free Staters have fanned out across Keene on recent afternoons to place nickels in expired meters, leaving notes on windshields signed "Robin of Keene."
He was persecuted by the looting authorities of his day, too -- and received bad press!!!! It wasn't until Jewwood turned him into a hero that he became a good guy.
For inspiration, they say they need look no further than to his jailing and hunger strike, which he ended Sunday. The 30-something son of a Dallas police officer, during an interview in the airless visitors room of Cheshire County Jail, said, jail has only reinforced his abiding conviction that government, as constituted, is an enslaver.
That is something I didn't believe for soooo long. I was a hardcore lefty in the Chomskyite vein that believed government was good.
Those days are long gone.
Absolutely!

Oh, btw, this is why the pro-tax, prostate, pro-tyranny Globe thinks New Hampshire is terrorist:
"Merchants on border look to N.H. with unease; Fear loss of business to tax-free neighbor" by Katheleen Conti, Globe Staff | May 25, 2009
Apart from one Trader Joe's store, Tyngsborough has no supermarkets, pharmacies, or even a walkable town center. Most residents already cross the border to Nashua or Hudson or drive to Dracut or Lowell for goods, said Town Clerk Joanne Shifres. In Dracut, which also lacks its own big shopping center, many residents shop in Pelham or Salem, N.H.....
Yeah, it's ALL ABOUT the TAX DOUGH!!!!!

I hate this fucking state I live in; don't let anyone kid you: Massachusetts sucks!
Bay State residents might partake in the Live Free or Die lifestyle, even if only while shopping, but they are still required to pay sales tax on certain goods that will be used, stored, or consumed in Massachusetts.
Pffft! I'm sick of the insults -- first the MSM, then the state!
The state Department of Revenue's "use tax" requires residents to report out-of-state purchases in their income tax returns and pay the sales tax on those items, but very few do it, said spokesman Robert R. Bliss.
Hey, state, monitor THIS! Backroads the entire ten minutes!!!!
"There's no practical way to police it," Bliss said. "It's really up to the individual to self-report."
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
The few who did report out-of-state purchases in 2007 (2008 numbers are still being compiled), provided the Commonwealth $3 million to $4 million in additional sales tax revenue, Bliss said.
Need money?
I know just where to look:

How many times I gotta put 'em up?
Regardless, in this economy, New Hampshire might see more Massachusetts shoppers who live more than just 15 minutes away, said Dorothy R. Siden, chairwoman of the Department of Economics at Salem State College.
I'm LESS and I'M WARMING UP the CAR!!!!!
"If New Hampshire is a one-hour to two-hour drive, I'm sure they'll get a boost out of it," Siden said. "I think people will travel for certain items. [The sales tax] will make people look twice, like we were all looking twice when gas went up to $4 - going on one trip instead of many."
Nawth, to New Hampsha, nawth, the rush is on!!!!
In Amesbury, where residents often opt to shop at the big box stores in bordering Seabrook, N.H., downtown business owners are banding together through the chamber of commerce to start a Local First campaign, which encourages residents to do at least 10 percent of their shopping locally, said Mayor Thatcher W. Kezer III.
Pfffft! How much you making, s****er!? The III?
Unlike some border communities, like Tyngsborough and Dracut, Amesbury's center is designed for walking, giving business owners like Nancy White a chance to compete with New Hampshire.
You want to give her a chance to compete?
ABOLISH the LOOTING TAX SYSTEM!!!!
In fact, despite the sales tax, White recently moved her clothing and accessories store, Real Bodies, from Milford, N.H., to downtown Amesbury to be "part of a community that services the needs of the local people."
This is so offensive to me when you consider what the state is doing -- with the Globe's agenda-pushing help -- with the tax revenues.
White said her sales have not suffered from the move, but added that although she believes the sales tax increase will push people across the border, residents must still try to do their part to sustain local businesses.
Quit lecturing me.
"If 10 percent of your community buys local, then there's no economic crisis," she said. "People that are really wanting to draw folks into their community in a sustainable manner and not going far to get what they need, whether it be food or services."
And if I say it one more time, I might believe it....

Here are the REAL TERRORISTS of New Hampsha....
"Crimes jolt N.H. tourist town; Slaying, drug bust shake Wolfeboro" by Jenna Russell and Sarah Schweitzer, Globe Staff | May 25, 2009
WOLFEBORO, N.H. - Wolfeboro, 85 miles north of Boston, bills itself as "America's Oldest Summer Resort" and draws a seasonal parade of moneyed, high-profile guests. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney owns a home there; French President Nicolas Sarkozy visited in 2007. Talk around town typically turns to taxes or big-money real estate transactions.
But townspeople were feeling unsettled even before the shock of the stabbing. In April, news broke that a former Wolfeboro police commissioner who is now an overseer of the town's voter list had been arrested and charged with drug trafficking after State Police in Illinois stopped him in March for speeding and allegedly found 900 pounds of marijuana in his truck. A longtime resident active in local affairs, James Lowry told police he was returning from a ski trip.
Pffft!
Need I even comment?!
Lowry's arrest seemed sure to be the big news of the year. But then, weeks later, came the savage killing, committed in the victim's home while two of her five children and several of their friends were present. Police, who responded to a 911 call from the house that morning, have been tight-lipped about the details....
Amazing, isn't it?
Sometimes they flap away and the newspapers run with it; other times, zip!
Yeah, NO AGENDA-PUSHING going on, though!
Behind the scenes was a deeply troubled marriage, described in court papers filed by Burns in her recent divorce. Married for 17 years to Edward J. Burns Jr., 47, a merchant marine and the father of her five children, Stacey Burns sought to end the marriage because of her husband's drinking, abuse, anger, and threats, according to documents in Ossipee family court.
Oh, here we go. They CAN'T SOLVE the CRIME so the first thing they are doing is FRAMING thye HUSBAND!!!
That can't be right; I heard marine captains were heroes (think Somalia, readers).
While home from long trips at sea, Edward Burns berated her constantly, Stacey Burns alleged, for the way she cooked and the way she dressed, for failing to supervise the children's homework and for serving them "sugared cereal." He forced himself on his wife sexually, she said, and woke her at 4 one morning in July 2007 to threaten her with "death before divorce."
"This is a man that is angry," Stacey Burns wrote in a statement to police, "and will hurt me if he is not forced to stay away."
Oh, he had to have done this then.
Edward Burns responded with an accusation of his own: that his wife had carried on an adulterous affair, destroying their marriage and placing their children at risk, according to court papers.
Stacey Burns sought and received a restraining order, but her husband objected and a judge dismissed it in November because the couple had had routine contact around their children without incident.
Oh, excuse me!?? I just smelt ONE HELL of a STINK!!!
So WHY FRAME the HUSBAND, Globe?
Their divorce was granted in December, but Edward Burns was appealing the financial terms of the settlement. On the morning their mother was found dead, the three youngest children were with their father, investigators said.
Then it COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIMN, could it?
WTF, Globe?
Edward Burns, who lives in Winchester, in western New Hampshire, has custody of all five children since his former wife's death. He did not respond to a request for comment. Relatives of Stacey Burns who live in Natick also did not return a call from a reporter.
That's just over the state line, readers.
And I wouldn't talk to the Globe, either, not after the shit they wrote above!
Investigators are not saying whether they have a suspect.
So why did the Globe spend three paragraphs trashing the husband? The NEUTERING, MAN-HATING, AGENDA-PUSHING NEVER STOPS, does it?
But New Hampshire Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery A. Strelzin offered the town reassurance, saying that the information gleaned so far does not suggest the public should feel threatened.
Well, if they don't know who did it and have no one in custody, etc, etc??
Authorities just can't help but lie, can they?
Still, with police saying little, rumors have run rampant, and the wait for an arrest is taking a toll. "I tell you, I don't sleep well at night," said Paulette Muller, who lives in the neighborhood. "If I saw an arrest, I'd feel more comfortable in my own home."
Yeah, JUST ARREST ANYONE says this FEAR-FILLED American -- even though the cops just told you no problem (what's up with that?)!!!
How about they ARREST YOU, lady?! Will THAT put your mind at ease?!!
And just like that, the story goes away.
Must not have been a Muslim suicider.
