Direct Action for Open Borders

[FTL_Ian]

plan on reading some books that discuss the anarchist philosophy, and how it could work in practice.

May I suggest "The Market for Liberty"?

And...Machinery Of Freedom

Quite inferior, in my opinion.

Oh, and be sure to show how that law applies to someone on the other side of your imaginary line.

This is where you are wrong. We have an agreement with the countries to our north and south as to where our countries begin and theirs end...

Jane, are you a collectivist?  Who is "we"?

and we don't try to go there illegally, so why do they try to come here?

Are you seriously asking this question?

I find that the ones who are strongest to say everything belongs to everyone and it's all free, are the worst when it comes to protecting their own territory because someone didn't follow their rules.

Jane, no one in this forum has said everything belongs to everyone.  Stop putting words in our mouths.  We believe in private property.

Yup that sure makes a lot of sense. Hmm. Well if you only could put this much effort into stopping the income tax I'd be impressed since they're planning one right now. OH and a sales tax too. You gonna pay it?

Well, as long as the business owners collected I would have to pay it in order to do business.    I would like to encourage them not to collect it, however.

And no, I would not pay income tax.

Given that Sununu is probably the most Libertarian Senator in Washington,

he voted for torture
funding of the war ... over and over again
realID

when do you stop supporting him?

[Russell Kanning]

What about including Shea and Hodes?

I sure they deserve it too.

[Russell Kanning]

I'm begging you guys to study up a bit on the North American Union before jumping on the open borders bandwagon. 

I don't have to do anything to be for open borders ... I have to just not use force on others. It should just be the default position.

[Russell Kanning]

How 'bout we fix things here and then open the borders! 

I used to think that ... but I can't fix the socialist system ... I can only not cooperate with them.

funding of the war ... over and over again

when do you stop supporting him?

How about when there is a viable source to replace him with?

When the only other choices are reps like Carol Shea Porter who take away even MORE freedoms and who claim to be against the war yet turn around and vote for it, do you see that as an improvement?  Reps who on top of everything else want more government and more restrictions on our lives.

Democrats feign shock over republicans using torture but had no problem with Clinton paying other countries with our tax dollars to torture for us.

Is that what you'd rather see because that's the alternative to Sununu.  When you shoot him down as you've shot down other Republicans you get what you're getting in NH now which in my opinion is FAR worse!

  Yes!  Order of operations matter a lot when freeing a country.

Status Report:

Result of Sit-In #1 at Sununu's Office. He got on the phone with us while in the office and offered to meet with us in person. We are chatting with his staff to fit his schedule.

Result of Sit-In #2 at Gregg's Office. Staff ignored us until one of our folks was recognized as the friend of an aide in the office. We are arranging to have a meeting with Gregg. Both sit-ins ended at 4:30 PM to give the office staff at each location time to close up shop.

Tomorrow's rally is going to be big from the rumors I am hearing. Lots of community leaders incluing three Manchester Aldermen and a Nashua Alderman as well as clergypeople from several faiths and denominations have made a commitment to come.

See you there!

FINALLY, something we can all agree to.

Why would anyone want a country?

Ask an immigrant to the US from some third-world socialist hellhole like Norway or Somalia.  There's a couple of naturalized Americans that drop by here or the FSP forum from time to time, and I've known one or two others who nearly break out in song when asked about why they came to our country and made it their own.

There are people flocking to this country who do think that everything belongs to everyone, who don't believe in private property, but rather consider their property to be whatever they're strong enough to take by force from others, be it money, virginity, or life.

WASHINGTON — Immigration-related felony cases are swamping federal courts along the Southwest border, forcing judges to handle hundreds more cases than their peers elsewhere.

Judges in the five, mostly rural judicial districts on the border carry the heaviest felony caseloads in the nation. Each judge in New Mexico, which ranked first, handled an average of 397 felony cases last year, compared with the national average of 84.

Federal judges in those five districts — Southern and Western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California — handled one-third of all the felonies prosecuted in the nation's 94 federal judicial districts in 2005, according to federal court statistics.

While Congress has increased the number of border patrol officers, the pace of the law enforcement has eclipsed the resources for the court system.

Judges say they are stretched to the limit with cases involving drug trafficking or illegal immigrants who have also committed serious crimes. Judges say they need help.

...

And there are yet more who consider to be their property whatever they can persuade others to take by force on their behalf, such as health care, education, and in-state tuition.

Somalia's a hellhole precisely because people are trying to establish government there.

As for the overworked judges in the southwest, why in the world are those people even making it to courtrooms?
