The American Redoubt -- Move to the Mountain States

I thought it appropriate to introduce this topic with a Jeff Cooper observation.

Boston


--- Quote ---To present a full account of all of our adventures in the wonderful month just past would require a very thick log book. Let us just say that we had a nifty time touring the great mountain states in the lovely [Audi] S4 and seeing them at the peak of their spectacular fall colors. Not only is the "mountain redoubt" (Wyoming, Montana and Idaho) beautiful to see, but in addition it constitutes what may be the last refuge of dignity, decency and common sense in the United States (e.g. a bumper sticker we saw in Cody, Wyoming, announced, "Stop honking, I'm reloading.").
   The place names up in that country are a delight in themselves: Spotted Horse, Wounded Wolf, Recluse, Medicine Bow, and Dead Swede - among others.  This is indeed a grand region, but it is lonely. "People who need people" should look elsewhere.
   -- Jeff Cooper, 1998

Ol' Remus posted an insightful analysis of J.W. Rawles 'American Redoubt' proposal.  A good read for sure.

REDOUBT

Considering everything that has been happening in our country in the past few years - and now seemingly accelerating at lightning speed (around the world) - a few sentences within this article really grabbed my attention:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"The classic path for the aware citizenry is to anticipate the catastrophe, retreat from easy reach of the regime and recoalesce into cooperative communities. Francis Porretto of Eternity Road put it this way in Part 5 of his Shape of Things to Come, (Note: Linked here: http://www.eternityroad.info/index.php/weblog/single/the_shape_of_things_to_come_part_5_the_worse_the_better/)

Obama knows exactly what he's doing. More important, he's sensed that he can use the reluctance of conservatives and libertarians to give true coloration to his program and the motivations behind it. We're simply too cowardly, most of us, to admit that America put a destroyer, an enemy of freedom, into the highest office in the land. That would reflect badly on far too many of us, wouldn't it?

Obama and his lieutenants are increasing that tension with every move they make. As it tightens on us, ever more Americans are retreating from civic involvement and resolving merely to protect themselves as best they can. The atomization thus evoked, wherein individuals are too suspicious of everything around them to repose trust even in their neighbors, is a perfect playground for a coherent, well focused program of totalitarian control.
We're past the point of fixing this with civic involvement. Now it's down to self preservation and nurturing the animus of Constitutional government."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just look at who is (now) in control of our government. This article sums up the reasons very nicely:

Joe McCarthy Would Have A Field Day

Reading Ole Remus's article (and James W. Rawles) gives me all the more reason to get off the east coast ASAP and out to the WY (or one of the other Mountain States) as soon as possible to be prepared and ready to defend our Constitution, Liberties and our Freedom.

Here's Chuck Baldwin's take on the issue:

You might seriously reconsider your support of the Constitution after reading THIS book:

 Hologram of Liberty
The Constitution's Shocking Alliance with Big Government
by
Kenneth W. Royce (a.k.a. Boston T. Party) 

NiteRider:
Yep!

Read it.  Yet, BTP mentions in the book that it is still salvageable.

Dennis Wilson:
The Liberty Amendment? (10/8) Or perhaps you had some other part in mind.

The book was written in 1997, before the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act and two undeclared wars and the Insurance Dictate and etc, all of which make it even more clear that the Constitution has either authorized what we have or been powerless to prevent it.

And since 1997, NOTHING has advanced the Liberty Amendment. If anything, it should be readily apparent from the events of the past 13 years, that, even if the Liberty Amendment somehow got passed, any and all limitations and restrictions upon the Federal government will be "judged" by the Federal judiciary--and found to have no merit.

Perhaps we could persuade Boston to add his thoughts "13 years after"..... :)
