| It’s the first tangent sign that not all Americans are waiting sheep-like to be shepherded down the disastrous path of the Barack Obama-engineered Fundamental Transformation of America: CNSNews.com is reporting that “a group of like-minded patriots, bound together by pride in American exceptionalism, plan on building an armed community to protect their liberty”.“The group, named Citadel, intends to purchase 2,000 to 3,000 acres for the project in western Idaho. The community will comprise of 3,500 to 7,000 families of patriotic Americans who “voluntarily choose to live together in accordance with Thomas Jefferson’s

Sounds like it will be way too crowded at 3500 families on 2000 acres? We have 3300 acres and sometimes that´s not enough for the hubby and me, at this time of year.

I made a prediction a few years back that millions of Waco´s were on the Horizon. Perhaps now that prediction becomes more of a reality to those who once thought it not possible. Never under estimate the American Spirit. We are a curious lot with an unending thirst for FREEDOM and LIBERTY.Translation (DON´T TREAD ON US).

This will not end well- either financially for those who invest or in the security of those who may become citizens. Whatever your opinion of Tim McVeigh or Randy Weaver, this group had 365 days to choose from for their "Patriot Day" and they chose April 19th. I think this kind of public relations right out of the blocks is but a harbinger of things to come.

As proved in Waco and elsewhere, these communities cannot attain the "critical mass" to stand up to tyrants in D.C. Only a mass secession of states might have that possibility - and that would be problematic even with outside help. Remember that the American revolution barely succeeded, even with the help of France. Our only real hope would be a sympathetic US military. That is where organizations like Oath Keepers (www.oathkeepers.org) play a useful role.

Interesting how the federal atrocity at Waco pops up immediately. They cane first for the Branch Davidians and I didn´t speak up....
Any successful revolt against tyrants needs effective leaders. Having memorable martyrs also helps.
Who among us would not welcome martyrdom in the service of ending our slavery?
Quentin Tarantino produces "Django Unchained." Jamie Foxx produces a SNL opening monologue about killing white folks. [How black is that?] Louis Farrakhan marks Django as the start of a race war. Obama, Biden, and a lot of politicians (coincidentally(?) all of them Democrats) seek to disarm us. And we can be critical of folks who are trying to do something about all this??!
Nay! Let us instead be inspired by and supportive of them in their dedication to preserve their liberties and their arms. Let us be bound together in a sincere belief in the phrase...

About 5% of the population has a mental illness. 1 - 2 % have a serious mental illness. If this has 3,500 families of at least 2 people each, that is 7.000 people...of which at least 70 - 140 will have serious mental illness. Think carefully how much access to rifles or any other types of guns you want for those 70 or so people.

I´m behind it as a concept but I wonder about it´s practicality.The left in this country doesn´t approve of any separatist movements,especially if they involve mostly white people..Secondly,they have drones now so even if they fend off a ground assault they can be drone hit.
The real story is this is just another outbreak of protest against Obamastyle government and policies. Conservatives know they aren´t this country´s problems,nor do they want to fund left wing craziness.
It really ticks me off that a few splotches of blue on the country´s electoral map can give someone like Obama the power the creep craves.

We are retired now and all of our lives we have freely traveled throughout the USA, first on family vacations, (...´´See the USA in your Chevrolet,´ as Dinah sang!), and additionally later because of jobs which were located in widely different areas of the country, and we have always considered the entire country as our, ´´community,´´ united in our Constitutional principles of Life, Liberty and Justice for ALL. Friendly & likeminded people are always there throughout this great country.
Which is why the blatantly counterfeit representation in today´s deceitful statist leadership has become so glaringly apparent. America is needlessly suffering because our Constitutional ship of state has veered off course, and is being lured by the statist´s siren song onto the rocks. Only the voters can CHANGE this direction by seeking ethical, moral and patriotic representation. ...Remember, we also do vote with our discressionary dollars!
We must remain faithful to Liberty´s principles and remember to, ´´BLOOM WHERE YOUR´RE PLANTED!´´ Dem pols demonstrably stir strife in America order to, ´´Divide & Conquer.´´ Enough with the lefties divisivness! Wake up VOTERS!!!

Good intentions...BAD idea. I don´t believe God wants us setting up our own our own little towers of Babel whenever we feel threatened. Jesus didn´t ask us to leave the battle and form our own army. We don´t fight against flesh and blood. Obama´s radical ideas need fearless confrontation. Spiritual darkness is fought with the power of truth.
Dictators come in all stripes...some use the Bible and the founding fathers. Look up Doug Wilson.

If you can have communities for the elderly and beaches for nudists, then why not communities for freedom-loving patriots? I read the website and the FAQ section specicially says the mission of the development is not to fight against the government. It is just a place for people who want to live in accordance with the principles espoused by Thomas Jefferson. There is a mention of self-suffiency and being proficient with firearms. Another goal is listed as having schools as places of learning, not indoctrination.
It might not be my thing, but I don´t care if others want to engage in freedom of association. I don´t think people are crazy to be afraid of the way things are going in this country, and live in a way that involves defense, rather than taking the offensive against perceived wrongs.
One truth of our society is that most cowards, either alone or roaming in packs, are not going to attack an armed community. They will look for the weak and unarmed to prey upon.

By reading some of these post one would think it´s perfectly OK for Black Panthers to have their hangouts. For Gays to run Bath houses.Inner City Gangs to have their hold outs. But God forbid a Group of Liberty minded Folks to form a place to hide and protect their Families from all this madness. Perhaps we are reaping what we have sown. Perhaps that is why the Republicans lost in November. You can´t find a handful of People in this Nation that can agree on anything. Much less fight off a Tyrannical Government. Lord Help us.

Western Idaho! Oh joy because the only place their will be the dry barren desert that can only grow scrawny sagebrush. Idaho land is 66% owned by the Federal Government so who is selling them the land? They can´t rely on irrigation wells because the entire water source is tied up in regulation. 2 to 3 thousand acres for all those people when my Sister watches their once flushed with water 900 acres slowly die from water starvation and their land is in a much more hospital Southern Idaho area . Perhaps they think they can do what one survivor wanna be tried when he cut their fences to hook up to their well across the road. The rest of the story was he bought that land owned by her from someone else for cash without a deed. He really thought she should give back the money he paid the unknown seller. City boy makes a move to the country thinking the locals are inferior and stupid

Same Poo-Poo-Posters here that I responded to on an earlier article on the same subject.
Broken record for all of them and negative contravening attitudes that simply deters from the LDotter experience.
It’s the thought that counts. They will be giving the finger to Obama, Washington, NE Liberals, Commie Bastards from Chicago and the Left Coast Holly-Weirdos.

Children have always been political pawns where overbearing leftwing regimes are concerned. Political Science professor and small-time MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry is tripping down the primrose path as carved out by the trademark lean-on-the-kids Barack and Mrs. Obama. For almost five years Barack Obama has talked almost exclusively to university and school children. Imperious, duck-the-adults Obama has his very own Youth Corps. With zero experience and zero charisma, Michelle Obama has remained stubbornly on school children’s’ lunch plate.

In midst of the modern, mindless battle to drive religion completely from American life, a small and inconvenient fact has been ignored: Virtually every important, original American idea is a product of Christianity. Further, had these doctrines never been developed, the US would arguably not been nearly as productive, free or happy. These ideas involve property, liberty, and the rule of law.Today the government bears down upon the Constitution, menacing the Bill of Rights and our entire way of life, offering to trade our freedoms for the supposed security of state control.

If President Barack Obama is serious about pioneering a Congress-paid, $100-million mapping expedition into the human brain, he should seek the help of celebrated brilliant brain surgeon Dr. Ben Carson. But it’s far more likely that megalomanic Obama is only jumping onto the human brain study bandwagon because that’s where the increasingly popular Dr. Carson is. “Obama, who jokingly labeled himself “Scientist-in-Chief”, said the so-called BRAIN Initiative could create jobs and eventually lead to answers to ailments including Parkinson’s and autism and help reverse the effect of a stroke.

The new battle-cry to save a disappearing Republic should begin with the words: “Set our children free”. While the President Barack Obama-led Socialist regime in Washington calls the tune by keeping the bouncing ball over the concept of Government-Fighting-Patriots, the real battle is the one where it gets to take over your children. With all eyes trained expectantly on the latest Obama executive order; with the definition of one man, one woman marriage being rewritten by the Supreme Court, progressives in office have been working out the details to come up with a way to capture your children.

Former famed CIA director David Petraeus apologized last week for his blackmail-able extramarital affair with sycophant author Paula Broadwell that “caused such pain for [his] family, friends and supporters,” during an event honoring the military at the University of Southern California. While it must have been devastating for his wife Holly of 37 years to have to go to the family doctor to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases thanks to her husband’s infidelity and lies—something all spouses and partners need to do under such circumstances, that is between them. The truth is Petraeus is getting off easy.

It’s Good Friday and a government holiday in Ottawa. No point trying to reach Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty today. So rather than wait until Monday, Canada Free Press (CFP) is posing this cliff-hanger question: “Is that a Cyprus-style “Bail In” proposed in the newly-minted 2013 budget?” That’s what economic gunslingers on both sides of the border and dozens of letters to the editor are charging. What began as a rumble is growing into an ear-splitting cacophony—and the Canadian government should post a truthful, detailed and in-plain-English explanation on its website.

Tens of thousands of unwitting little people have had their bank accounts ripped off over the long weekend by their own government, in a fashion where their ripped off funds were already a fait accompli before word began to leak out over social media. Media downplaying notwithstanding, the unvarnished truth about what is happening in Cyprus is both precedent setting and staggering in dimension.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
