Default How far back do you have to go

How far back do you have to go to be a (good) NH native.
I think Governer John Wentworth an captian John Wolfe came here with a lot of radical ideas and tried to change the area building roads establishing new rules and yes even taxes

Question Taxing New Hampshire History—Using Fake Facts?

Major General James Wolfe came to the area to bring war to the French in Québec. Since he disembarked a British ship in Québec, he is highly unlikely to be credited with building roads (even in Québec).

He never saw New Hampshire—or even Wolfeboro —a town that was named in honor of his major accomplishment (in war).

LMFAO, Typical responses from the left. Change the topic because it doesn't fit your agenda. Hence lies the problem with out of stater's, (liberals). No solid talking points so, let's change the subject.

How sad to be so blinded by labels. But that's what American discourse has become, I suppose.

Also Winni has been an out-of-state destination for over 100 years. It has been a haven of wealthy people, who do provide growth and prosperity in the region, but usually only care about their own interests (speed limit change for example). I would say most of your issues are caused by the uber wealthy people in the area (huge lawns, huge boats, high prices, etc...) most of whom happen to be Conservative, so I think you're 'thanking' the wrong ilk of people...but enjoy whatever place that is not the beautiful, clean, well educated, amazing state that is New Hampshire. You do know it was just voted the 2nd best state to live in right? Always at the top of these lists when it comes to 'best places to live in the US'...but you go right on leaving, it will make it just that much nicer...

And what is a 'political believes'

I think what most of us mean is that if you came here because you liked it the way it was, why did you want to change it? The people that came here and want to keep it the way it was are fine with us. But I think now it's a little late, we have changed too much already.

I agree but then there are those that come and want to enjoy the natural beauty of the state but then want to force their personal agendas down your throat. The borders that divide states are purposely being torn down to make every state in the union the same, which is not what this country was founded on.

States were supposed to represent the ideals of the majority of its residents and if you do not like them either deal with it or move to a state that most represents those ideals.

There is no reason why the country cannot exist with each state being different on many levels but as I said these borders are disappearing and the same can be said for countries borders also. There are those that desire the world be as "one" and I certainly do not agree with that nor should every state be identical.

Which is why New Hampshire was chosen by the 'free state' movement years ago as their home base. NH had the best mix of limited government (Live Free or Die) and other economic and socio-political factors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_State_Project

Again showing why New Hampshire is in fact one of the best places to live in the country contrary to what the OP thinks has happened around here to make is so unlivable.

I would love to know what the OP's choice of state/location is to move away from here that is so grand...

I also would like to know his state of choice. By next September New Hampshire will be my state of residency.

I'm right behind you. Almost done with work. Couldn't think of a better place to be.

People move places for many reasons and have the absolute right to hold and express their own views.

Why do you hate the constitution?

But you gotta admit it is far more stimulating conversation when we don't get along so long as conversation remains relatively intellectual.

That said - name calling and having a literal temper tantrum on a forum like this is not exactly stimulating. Thank GOD that some of these responses are entertaining enough to make up for a lackluster start.

Far as the original poster goes, ya know there is no place you can move to were you can hide from this. Happening everywhere and for the most part considering it's surrounding neighbors and how screwed up they are NH still remains somewhat of an oasis at least for now.

Funny, but even if all the signs were missing, I know within 20 seconds that I've crossed the border! (In either direction).

You'd think a generation of Americans have become indoctrinated.

Please find a place where you can get some help, and then recall everything that the lakes region is and what you have elected to give up.
