A different kind of refugee arrives in New Hampshire

A Tea Party times ten!  That’s what you  might call this event for ‘refugees’ of big government and over regulation!    Check this out!  In a story entitled, ‘Free Staters Go Camping in New Hampshire — With Rifles, Swords and Defiance,’ we learn that  hundreds of people, feeling the time has arrived, are headed to New Hampshire and some are even moving there in an effort to carve out one place where they can be free (well sort of free) of big government.   Hat tip:  Blulitespecial.

LANCASTER, N.H. — There’s no escaping the long arm of big government — even here at the far edge of a state whose license plate decrees that without freedom from oppressive authority you might as well choose death.

But for a group of about 500 in a tent colony here, the Porcupine Freedom Festival is about as close to Libertarian Nirvana as they’re likely to get.

Held in June, the four days are about beer, burgers and bonfires. But more importantly, participants aim to carve out an enclave of less government and more liberty to do as they wish.

They aim to show a lost nation the way back to its political roots.

Please go read the whole article.  Here is one of the many things in the story that interested me, besides the fact that the movement was started by a Yalie.

Flapping overhead, on lines between spruce trees where others might dry bathing suits, Free Staters fly the Gadsden flag, with its serpent and warning to government: “Don’t Tread on Me.”

Hundreds of the Gadsden flags were handed out at our local 4th of July Tea Party.
