New Hampshire Democrat wants to restrict freedoms so libertarians won’t move into the state
This is a story that kind of goes hand in hand with yesterday’s post about the ruling class Republicans in Washington trying to limit who can challenge them in the primaries in 2014 so they can protect those whom have already ascended to power, but in this case we are talking about the state of New Hampshire rather than the federal government.
The ruling class Republicans in the federal government believe the biggest threat to their power is to be challenged by more conservative or constitutionally minded people and now we have heard from a Democrat in the New Hampshire state legislature that the biggest threat to New Hampshire’s future is people who believe in liberty moving into the state. She has a plan to deal with this threat:
She went on to write that while there is “legally, nothing we can do to prevent them from moving here to take over the state, which is their openly stated goal,” she proposed making “the environment here so unwelcoming that some will choose not to come, and some may actually leave.”
What does Cynthia Chase mean when she says we could make the environment in the state unwelcoming? The answer is chilling:
One way is to pass measures that will restrict the ‘freedoms’ that they think they will find here. Another is to shine the bright light of publicity on who they are and why they are coming
Cynthia Chase is actually proposing the live free or die state would be better off if we limited the freedoms of the people who already live here in order to make the state unattractive to people who believe in a smaller, less intrusive government and stop them from moving here. Oh, and if that doesn’t work then let’s intimidate the hell out of them!
Of course when she talks about the “biggest threat the state is facing today” she is not talking about what she feels is best for the future of the state, what she really is referring to is what she sees as the biggest threat to Democrats staying in power in the state.
And this solution would be twofold for the Representative from Keene because there is only one type of person who would rather live in a state that restricts freedoms and liberties and replaces them with government programs designed to keep the people dependent on it for their very survival in day to day life and that would be liberals. So in addition to keeping people from wanting to move into the state she must also realize this would drive constitutionally minded people out of the state, thereby setting up a permanent authoritarian dominant-party system such as we have seen for years in Massachusetts.
America's Watchtower 
This approach may backfire on Cynthia Chase. She may just spur an exodus from the state, people turning away from liberalism and also moving to a better friendlier place to live than New Hampshire.

Now we will be able to see their true colors, so guess I am glad the truth is coming out…it has been hidden far too long. Maybe now some of the Sheeple will see what is really happening and have to deal with it….when it was all warm and fuzzy, they were happy to let it happen…now if it is in their faces, we will see how they feel.

Hey Steve maybe she’s on to something here. What if we did the same in conservative/libertarian states.

Maybe that would be enough of a turn off or as Cynthia Chase stated, create a liberty loving environment that would be so unwelcoming to leftists that many would choose not to come, and who knows…some may actually leave.

There is as much fraud in the welfare state as there is in politics and voting. They also know how to work the system to stay in a rental for 3-4 months without paying rent before they are forcibly removed, with no money forthcoming…like I said, most know how to work the system and the system is not in place for landlords or tax payers, is it? What you posted does not suprise me in the least. I believe that not only should anyone getting welfare have to submit to random urine/blood tests, but they should be cut off at a certain amount of children. I think they should find the dead beat dads….they show up at tax time to get that “earned child credit” money coming in. We usually owe money and we work,,,tell me how someone that does NOT work get a tax refund? What the hell is wrong with the state and the Feds for allowing that to continue? I am getting pretty bitter about this…I do NOT for a moment begrudge someone getting help that needs it, but when it is generation after generation and that is what they expect, something has to change. There are perfectly healthy young adults here in Illinois that receive Section 8 vouchers, just because their mothers do…that is where the state will pay for a good portion of their rent, depending on if they have any income, most get the maximum amount. Section 8 makes sure we keep the places perfect, if they are damaged (by the renter) and we get stained carpets (red koolaid does not come out), torn out screens, written on walls, etc., we pay to fix it, not the renter..alot of landlords are not accepting Section 8 for that reason.When you add up all the benefits that are received here in Illinois alone, there is NO incentive to go out and get a job.

Minor issue – lots of “deadbeat dads” are actually “dead broke” dads. Many are forced out of the child’s life – mommy gets more money if daddy isn’t in the home. (Part of the problem, Daddy or Husband Government can take over and meet all her needs, eternally.)
But the stupid don’t know to do more than watch TV and breed, and maybe work a menial job (per IQ and laziness.)
Also, please note, that the MEN don’t have a choice: they are on the hook for child support, even if the notification goes to a fictitious address, or the child isn’t theirs.
