Good for you. Beautiful country. But talk to the folks. You will be surprised how different America is from what you have been exposed to.
Cheers
Need to tread carefully and keep your powder dry. The progressive left/socialists/communist Obamakin’s wildest, wettest dream is the occurrence of some sort of large altercation between a bunch of militia types and let's say law abiding Teachers Union types. Whatever the incident, their most fervent hope is for some sort of incident to justify a civilian gun-grab. Perhaps enact Marshall law as the means to the end. Has to be something big though. As an example, maybe an incident they can lay on the Tea Party movement. The BIG unknown for the Obamakin’s though, is which way will our military go. The military is very conservative and perhaps will not be willing to draw down on their parents, cousins, uncles,etc, etc. Perhaps that's the reason that Obama made the statement that “we can no longer count on our military, we need a civilian force just as strong, just as well equipped, etc, etc, I am typing this from memory so it's not exact but I got the essence of his statement. What out and don't be stupid.

Unhappy it is though to reflect, that a Brother’s Sword has been sheathed in a Brother’s breast, and that, the once happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with Blood, or Inhabited by Slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous Man hesitate in his choice? I am, With sincere Regard and Affectionate compliments to Mrs Fairfax, Dear Sir, Your Most obt servant, George Washington

The question is: What are we going to do about it?
Write a nice, polite letter to your Congressperson?
Hey, if you think that will help, I’ve got a bridge you might be interested in buying. And it isn’t your “bridge to the future,” either.
Vote “better people, into office? Oh yeah, that’s what we thought we were doing before.
Work to fight one bad bill or another. Okay. What will you do about the 10 or 20 or 100 equally horrible bills that will be passed behind your backwhile you were fighting that little battle?
And what about the horrors you don’t even learn about until two or three years after they become law? Should you try fighting these laws in the courts?
Where do you find the resources?
Where do you find a judge who doesn’t have a vested interrest in a more powerful government?
And again, for every one case decided in favor of freedom, what do you do about the 10, 20 or 100 in which the courts decide against the Bill of Rights?
Perhaps you’d consider trying to stop the onrush of these horrors with a constitutional amendment - maybe one that bans “omnibus” bills, requires that every law meet a constitutional test or requires all congress people to sign statements that they they’ve read and understood every every aspect of every bill on which they vote.
Good Luck! Good luck, first on getting such an amendment passed and our Constitution-scorning “leaders” to obey it.
It is true, that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and part of that vigilance has been, traditionally keeping a watchful eye on laws and on lawbreaking lawmakers.
But given the current pace of law spewing and unconstitutional regulation-writing, you could watch, plead and struggle “within the system” 24-hours a day for your entire life and end up infinitely less free than when you begin.
Why throw your life away on a futile effort?
Face it.
If “working within the system” could halt tyranny, the tryants would outlaw it.
Why do you think they encourage you to vote, to write letters, to talk to them in public forums?
It’s to divert your energies. To keep you tame.
‘the system’ is a maze. You run around thinking you’re getting somewhere. Your masters occasionally reward you, and this encourages you to believe you’re accomplishing something.
And in the meantime, you are as much their property and their pawn as if you were a slave.
In the effort of fighting them on their terms and with their authorized and approved tools, you have given your life’s energy to them as if you were toiling in their cotton fields, under the lash of their overseer.
The only way we’re going to get out is personally, as individuals, refuse to cooperate with evil.
How we do that is up to each of us. I can’t decide for you, nor you for me. (Unlike congress people, who think they can decide for everybody.)
But this totalitarian runaway truck is never going to stop unless we stop it any way we can. Stopping it might include any number of things: tax resistance; public civil disobedience wide-scale, silent non-cooperation, highly noisy non-cooperation , boycotts; secession efforts; monkey wrenching; computer hacking; dirty tricks against government agencies; alternative, self-sufficient communities that provide their own food and utilities.
There are thousands of avenues to take, and this is something most of us still need to give more thought to before we can build an effective resistance. We will each choose the courses that are right for our own circumstances, personalities and beliefs.
Whatever we do, though, we must remember that we are all, already, outlaws.
No one of us can be certain going through a single day without violating some law or regulation we’ve never heard of. We are all guilty in the eyes of today’s law.
If someone in power chooses to arrest us, we can all, already, be prosecuted for something. And I’m sure you know that your claim of innocence is not treated under similar claims of our politicians.
Politicians are above the law.
YOU are under it.
Crushed under it.
When you look at it that way, we have little to lose by breaking laws creatively and purposefully.
Yes, some of us will suffer horrible consequences and it is very risky to actively resist unbridled power. It is especially risky to go public with resistance. It becomes riskier the closer we get to tyranny.
For that reason, among many others,I would advise you to really think twice before taking “advice” from anybody about from anybody about things effecting your life and well-being. But if we don’t resist in the best ways we know how and if we don’t resist we will be “working the system” governed by those who regard us as nothing but cattle. The revolution against We the People will not be stopped by politeness.
It will not be stopped by pleading for justice from those who will resort to any degree of trickery or violence to rule us.
It will not be stopped unless we are willing to risk our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors to stop it.
I think of the words of Winston Churchill: “If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed —if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and -—you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you for your survival....There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory...because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

You've got that right.
LOL! Good one!
“vowing to seize control of the tiny town of Sweetwater and round up the traitors blocking the indictment of President Barack Obama”
well if Sweetwater does go independent, I’m there!
God’s country.
Near Chota, where according to Cherokee legend, the red race sprang forth from the earth
What do you propose we do? Through up our hands and give up?
Isn't he that ‘citizen grand jury’ nutjob?”
Yeah. Fitzpatrick is a sad case. He was an XO who got court-martialed for improper handling of ship's finances and never got over it. I read up on him out of curiosity.
I have a little sympathy for the court martial; based on what you read, it sounds like he might have gotten nailed for something a little hyper-technical. But he hasn't handled it well. Went to Washington state and made a fool of himself on some local government issues, eventually being removed from meetings by the police. Now appears to be pushing the Citizen Grand Jury stuff as a means of attention and maybe still trying to get back at the world. The long story made short is that he focused his ire on the Monroe County jury foreman for not accepting his indictment of Obama, tried to do a citizen's arrest, and wound up arrested himself. Pretty sad stuff.
the very first news of this guy 2 months ago was NOT like this article at all
Fitzgerald was also innocent, did you read that part?
Fitzgerald proved that NCIS agents forgeed their names on documents that were used to convict him.
he had an appeal, WON the appeal and was exonerated. However, the NCIS agent who forged a signature on his paperwork walks free today.
Maybe you need to read more about Walt Fitzpatrick.

From what i’ve read of Fitzpatrick's stuff, he proves a lot of things in his own mind these days. That said, as I noted, I have some sympathy for the court martial. The article I read seemed to indicate he was over-charged in sheer quantity, hoping something would stick, and they got a conviction on only one of the charges, which seemed a bit hyper-technical. If that's true, I can honestly sympathize on a human level with someone who feels their career got an unfair shove out the door. But his behavior in Monroe County is still pathetic.
Hey y'all, watch this!
I wont deny Walt is ON A MISSION, but he was placed there not on his own accord.
he has earned the right to be wary of the Govt being there to help him for numerous times he caught it screwing him
he was also instrumental in pointing out the undue command influence charges in some of the cases of our guys in Iraq and what they were charged with, and that defense is what got some of them off.
Walter was the first to bring it up.
Walter, in my opinion, writes too emotionally when he makes his case. When you speak to him, he is the exact opposite and is fact filled, honest and informed. If Walt wrote like he spoke, he would get further.
But, mark my words, Walt is NO liar! Nor is he a fool!
That well may be. But it wasn't my point. Which was:
If you are going to do something, keep your yap shut.That was my point, I was using an analogy. Not whether this 'reporter' has the facts right. And Blago shooting his mouth off to his Father-In-Law is what got the Feds after him. And in Blago's case it was all over a STOO-PID™ Garbagee Dump permit.
Don't tell your wife, brother, whomever. Just shut up and do it when your timing is tight. And whatever you do, don't say anything in public or to a public official.
