Radical and not immediately attractive, but...
Pass. Few places in Mexico are all that attractive. Desert, heat, bad water, poor sanitation, poor economy. No thanks.

I'd say the sad state of Mexico is actually our problem, but only because they're making it ours. Even if it's a pain in our side, it's not our responsibility to fix anymore then it is our responsibility to police any other nation. Every group of people must work for themselves, if it's wrong to overthrow the Iraqi government then why should we be expected to forcefully reorganize Mexico's government?

I think it would be a great idea and perfectly reasonable, at this point, to start to take-over Mexico.
Good for the Goose, exactly.

Sounds like the Free State project here in the US that Radar originally championed.

Hmm... Radar seems to be taking a bit of a vacation from posting here since his leaving the LP. Perhaps a link?

He said so. I believe it was at the tail end of his campaign thread.

Radar championing the FSP

I looked in his concession thread, but didn't see him mention leaving the LP. Of course, I didn't look that hard.

I bet he's busy being a Dad. He wasn't initially keen on New Hampshire as the chosen state. I like it but I've already built my compou.. ah homestead.

Oh but it can't be!!

If this hardest of hard-ass freedom fighters actually stayed in one of the least free states, and decided nothing short of raising his family there, that would mean his excitement at participation in the FSF, and his subsequent hard sell to everyone else, were just empty fantasy!

Like everything else he's done or thought politically.
