To The Daily Sun,
Nine GOP members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, including Michael Sylvia and Raymond Howard representing Belknap County, have just betrayed the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America.
They don’t want New Hampshire to be a part of these United States. Their co-sponsored bill written by Belmont GOP Rep. Sylvia provides that “the state peaceably declares independence from the United States and proceeds as a sovereign nation.” Sylvia publicly announced on the Exit NH podcast which he co-hosts: “We will be the first nation outside of the United States.”
Some 80 Free Staters, mostly registered Republicans, in our state legislature hold similar beliefs. They want anarchy over government.
Now, when each of us says: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands,” we must think of these traitors in our midst. They would succeed where our foreign enemies have failed. They would break up these United States of America. They would trample on the graves of service men and women who died to preserve our one nation under God.
From now on we must say the names of GOP Reps. Dennis Green, Scott Wallace, Dustin Dodge, Peter Torosian, William Foster, Matthew Santonastaso, Glenn Bailey and Belknap’s Michael Sylvia and Raymond Howard with the contempt they deserve. All Hampshirites, including Republicans, Democrats and undeclared voters, must name, denounce and vote out of office all Free Staters and their sympathizers and thereby diminish their anti-American beliefs, talk and actions.

Bull Puckey.
1. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a National Socialist preacher whose cousin sold flags.
2. The politicians in DC (and most of them in NH) routinely violate their oaths of office--and the Constitution.
3. The level of mindless factionalism and national unrest on the one hand; and the US Government's long history of both stupid foreign interventionism and massive financial irresponsibility on the other, seem to be ample evidence for the dissolution of the union of independent states being an idea that has been left too long.
When NH folks aren't letting themselves get caught up in the doings of those megalomaniacal morons in DC, they generally prove themselves to be quite capable of handling their own affairs just fine--and with much higher levels of fiscal responsibility and common sense.
Both are morons. Both are Republicans. Case closed.
