Poor Keene first the Pumpkin Fest riots and now these dweebs. As a NH Resident I am feeling a bit sorry the town at the moment. With that said, I am off to Keene to pick-up some wood trim for a table I am building.

This is fantastic research. In a nation of 300 million the Colbert people found the three biggest douches, or biggest douche per 100 million people. And the three also happen to be perfect, unimprovable-upon examples of the douchieness that’s infected the right in this country. Barry Goldwater would grab these guys and knock their heads together, and I’d be glad to help.

Maybe a little civic involvement wouldn’t hurt these dweebs. We’re not a dictatorship (Libtard rhetoric to the contrary) so one can get involved in city government. Most of what small cities are involved with is providing simple services and finding the funding sources for these service projects— mostly filling in pot holes, storm drains and sewer services. It costs $$$$ to put in new sewage pipes all so Libertarians don’t have to just squat and leave it. Is this what Libertarian 'small government, is all about— everybody providing their own sewage services.

What I don’t understand is why all the libertarians haven’t emigrated to Somalia. There are no parking meters in Somalia.

Not to mention their vigorous interpretation of the 2nd Amendment…

Laugh now, but these guys are a pretty solid representation of just about every Libertarian in existence under the age of 30 or so.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: NH is the north’s SC.

DSM-IV should really have a diagnosis for people who read Ayn Rand and don’t understand it for what it is. Maybe something like “Randian Delusion Syndrome”?

Good idea—it’s widespread and has definite characteristics. But until then “infantilism” will have to be a catchall substitute.

They really are their own separate breed. Anecdotally, every Libertarian I’ve ever personally known has tended to be significantly better off, and capable of leading far more comfortable lives than most people in existence. Usually coddled gated community types and trust fund kids. But they are absolutely certain that somewhere, somehow and in some convoluted way they’re being oppressed andy living under tyrannical rule. So much so that it borders on delusion, and in the case of this brief documentary they’ll go to enormous lengths to be as obnoxious about it as possible.

My favorite libertarians are the retired career military, with full retirement benefits, pension and medical.

fro dude for president!

Actually, the Keene libertarians have been here for several years. They are the vanguard of the project to have 20,000 like-minded people move here, to take over the government.

Pray for us.

Cool Hand Luke they ain’t.

These guys are freedom fighters looking for a cause, Rebels without a cause even.

I guess everyone has their thing, their pet peeve, I’m sort of a Libertarian against goofy Libertarians.
