Sounds like you should go ahead and sign up then.

Sipsey Street Irregulars: "Citadel." Convicted extortionist's latest con gets huge play on Drudge.

This is a scam??

"His latest scam is something called "Citadel," wherein he persuades folks to invest in an "Armed 'Defensible' Neighborhood Fortress" in Idaho."

Tell me what in the world is "Patriotic" about any of this nonsence. These kinds HATE their country. They want to isolate themselves from the country. They are patriotic to an imaginary country that is the product of sick paranoid and anti social minds.

This isn't patriotism. There's a huge contradiction in "loving" your country and then walling yourself off from it. It sounds like something some anarcho-communist idiots would do. And following up by idolizing firearms is just pretty looney.

You must have missed this part of the description which stated residents "are bound together by":

Quote:
Patriotism

Pride in American Exceptionalism

Our proud history of Liberty as defined by our Founding Fathers

...

The Citadel is Liberty-driven: specifically Thomas Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.

Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles.
No wonder you are opposed to this planned community.

Liberals despise liberty, and only wish to control and regulate people and commerce.

You come across as a liberal and thus anti-American.

Become a libertarian conservative and a patriot.

You obviously don't own a copy of the Federalist Papers.

Please rectify this deficiency soon.

To be honest, I am actually a social liberal that is for the creation of such community. If people manage to be heterogeneous, carry guns (and know how to fire them), and manage to be peaceful, it would be pretty cool to see a city with a defining architectural feature like a citadel, since you don't see that often in North America.

It's not really surprising that the guy behind this armed compound is facing 30 years in prison and $500,000 in fines for extortion and making threats.

They aren't interested in improving things through the legitimate democratic process either, so they plan to leave and set stage for some sort of armed warfare against the government. That isn't patriotism in any sense of the word.
