Blue Hampshire Blogger Calls FSP Participants “Cult Members”, Fears We’ll “Eliminate our State Government”

"Susan the Bruce"While calling Free State Project participants “cult members” and claiming we support censorship, a Blue Hampshire blogger, “Susan the Bruce” has been busily cleaning her personal blog comments (where her BH post is copied) of unwanted posts. The blog dust-up has hit mainstream news with the Union Leader reporting on it.

Susan, as it turns out, you’re the one in the cult – the cult of the omnipotent state. You Democrats (and Republicans) have charismatic leaders and perform rituals. There’s plenty of jargon associated with “the state” as well as a culture of fear. Please see my piece here that will lay it out for you.

There are no rituals. We use plain english to describe the aggression of the state. You statists don’t like it when we call a spade a spade, though. Some people can’t stand it when the violence of the state is shown for all to see, which we do on a regular basis here at Free Keene. (more…)

I immediately found out that this State Rep is actually from Rhode Island and has only been in NH for just over 6 years. She’s not the only elected Democrat who isn’t from NH, so it appears there is some hypocrisy over whom, at least in her mind, is “allowed” to come to NH. (more…)

It’s always a great day when I get to go out and robin hood. It’s even better when I get to help people not have their money taken and get thanked for it.

Here are some recent positive interactions I’ve had with the good people of Keene while trying to save them from the parking tariff.
