Time to Declare a State of Emergency

Libertarian group chooses New Hampshire as 'free state'

Libertarians have been looking for a state to re-settle in en masse in order to force it to undergo a political transformation and become some kind of limited government utopia. Now the Libertarians have made their decision and targeted New Hampshire as their chosen free-state-to-be. If I were a liberal, or a person of moderate sense living in New Hampshire, I'd be quite unnerved by all of this. One of New Hampshire's main attractions for the Libertarians was the states constiution, which guarentees the right to revolution and succession. Given that these people really don't like the the enormous and intrusive modern federal government and would like to get rid of a lot of its laws, I think those provisions in the state constitution could be a source of some trouble.

Anyway, here are my predicitons:
1) The most likely course of events is the Liberarians never get their shit together because they never left the rebellious stage of their teenage years and are completely unable to organize anything or that a few do actually move to New Hampshire, but not enough to really change things in any meaningful way.
2)The Libertarians eliminate almost every single tax and regulation in the Great State of New Hampshire, elect Milton Friedman as governor and Tommy Chong as Attorney General and businesses flock to the state and because of shining model of the productive powers of the free makret unleashed.
3)The Libertarians take over New Hampshire and revolutionize its politics, declaring dozens of federal laws and statutes null and void. The national guard is put under the control of Governor Galt and the federal government remains unable to reign in New Hampshire because our combat strength is tied down in Iraq. Taking a page from Machiavelli, President Bush decides to destroy what he cannot control and US Air Force turns vast streches of the state into hideous dunes of ash and splinters of bone.
