As libertarians can you tell me what do you think about the Free State Project in New Hampshire ??? I discovered about it 2 months ago and it seems interesting :)
Because we're going to make America great again and make Mexico pay for it.
Don't know anything about it. Got link?
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how that's going to happen.
Because I have no opinion and Picking him made me laugh quietly to myself.
A question to WA members. What do you think of the promote clean energy bill? How will you be voting and why?

Leaving aside the endless Rubio boosting by Fox News - including in their debates (clever camera work by FNC there - but that is an inside baseball thing).
The choice between the three leading candidates is as follows.
Someone who basically says that a "better manager" is needed - and now presents himself as a "conservative" having been a life long Progressive.
Someone who claims that the problem with big government only really emerged over the "last seven years" and that government was about the right size and scope under President Bush.
And someone who says that government has been getting too big for a very long time indeed and that (at least) 5 Federal Government Departments and 25 Federal Government Agencies need to be abolished.
For the future survival of the Western World (not just the United States) I hope "good manager" and "pretty boy" continue to be defeated - as they were yesterday in Iowa.
I am not interested in people who think that government was not really too big under President Bush. American government (and government in the rest of the West) has been unsustainably huge for a long time. "Compassionate Conservatism" needs to be burned.
It is not the function of government to pick and choose between different sorts of energy.
For example, government should not push ethanol - as Senator Cruz said in Iowa (which people said would sink his campaign - instead he won).
What government can do, of they are really concerned about C02 emissions, is to radically deregulate nuclear power.
The regulations do not improve safety - quite the contrary. And they vastly inflate the costs of nuclear power.
Even James Lovelock (the "Gaia Man") admitted that only a massive expansion of nuclear power would reduce C02 emissions - not windmills and solar panels.
And deregulating nuclear power is the only way to achieve that.
Get rid of the subsidies and regulations (on all forms of energy) - government, get out of the way.
My WA puppet votes against any edicts from the WA regardless of the nature. However, as the global warming thing is a farce anyway, I would vote against it regardless.

Trump is kind of risky candidate. Either one of two things are going to happen: it will be a massive fvck you to the regressive left and the mainstream media, or he will be so garbage of a President that it will only strengthen them.
On the other hand, Hillary Clinton being elected may cause an even worse effect.
Talking completely out of my ass here, of course.
Mr Trump appears to have moved into the "pretty boy" camp (the rather offensive term that Governor Christie's people use for Senator Rubio) - and that is a logical thing for him to do.
Donald Trump lives off Corporate Welfare - and Senator Rubio (like former President Bush) would continue it.
Look at the last debate - careful presentation of policy by Senator Cruz (like the Constitutional lawyer he is - I found myself screaming "you are not talking to the Supreme Court - most of the viewers do not understand what you are saying") and little policy-free sound bites from Senator Fox News (I mean Senator Rubio - but they are really the same thing) "Americas do not want to be like other countries" (good - but it does not actually mean anything specific).
I have seen Ted Cruz explain why (for example) farmers would be better off if the government subsidies for ethanol and so on were abolished - but the EPA regulations (and so on) were removed at the same time. He actually knows the specific regulations (he can name them - correct numbers and letters and so on). Normal people do not relate to that - they do not like people who are obviously more intelligent and better educated than they are (and do not hide it). The looks in the eyes of the voters Senator Cruz talks to say it all "you are right - but I hate you for being right, I want this nice young man over here who feels-my-pain and will give me more government subsidies".
Which is more effective? Obviously the RUBIO approach. Most voters are not well informed - they need short sound bites (as if one was selling soap). So (after Ted Cruz is destroyed by Fox News and so on) the world will be back to President Bush in a new form - Marco Rubio. And Senator Rubio is far more articulate than former President Bush - he is young and pleasantly spoken. The sort of person one would be delighted if one's daughter brought him home (Ted Cruz is more like the person who beats you for the promotion - because he works harder and is better at the job, hard not to HATE a man like that). About the only time people would turn to someone like Ted Cruz is if there as a total disaster - and one was about to die. "Do this, and do it NOW" - then (as one knows he actually understands the bleeping thing that has gone wrong) one would turn to him, not till then.
More "compassionate conservatism" more government "help the poor" and more "wars for democracy" overseas. It is totally sincere (I do not deny that) - but it is also the road to bankruptcy (economic and cultural).
It is difficult not to despair for the future of the Western World.
As for international affairs.
I am not an isolationist or a neocon - I am a Realist.
There are enemies who need to be destroyed or contained (before they destroy the West). But the idea that liberal democracy is a political system that can work (and should be exported to) countries such as Iraq or Syria (the neocon position - of President Bush and the Senator from Fox News) is just wrong.
Things would be nicer if it was correct - but it is not.
It is like "compassionate conservatism" (the government "helping the ordinary people" - that Senator Santorum was pushing yesterday in his endorsement) it is just based on false assumption and false reasoning.
I don't think so. I think you pretty much nailed it.
New poll is up. Sorry, been too busy to make a poll this week. Super Bowl 50 been loads of not fun so far.
The poll was 2-0 in favor of the Panthers.
D'oh!

It is going to be between DONALD TRUMP and TED CRUZ in South Carolina.
Yes both Governor of Ohio (although he has basically been living in New Hampshire for the last several months) and the former Governor of Florida will still be campaigning in South Carolina - but it will be between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
Do people want bigger government and 1930s style trade wars - the politics of Herbert "The Forgotten Progressive" Hoover and Donald Trump.
Or do people want smaller government, 5 less Federal Government Departments and 25 less Federal Government Agencies - the politics of Ted Cruz.
It is a very stark choice - especially as the international economy (Japan and soon China) collapses.
The media act as of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump were offering similar polices.
Actually on trade and the size of government their policies are diametrically opposed.
On Ted Cruz - he needs to spend some money now.
Ted Cruz has spent very little (compared to the establishment candidates) on the campaign so far - and has a lot or money in the War Chest.
Time to spend in South Carolina.
Otherwise Juan Peron (I mean Donald Trump) is going to win there.
Ted it is.
