RETREAT: Disowned Michigan leader sees new hope on the Kenai.

Traverse City, Mich. -- The founder of a militia group in Michigan says he plans to move to the Kenai Peninsula after being cast aside by the militia's main body as being too radical and self-serving.

Ya gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, and know when to fight.

There will be time enough for losin when the dealin's done.

As a frequent visitor to Kenai I am vehemtly protesting this guys plans to move to Alaska and aid in Independence. That is an issue for Alaskans; not failed military guys who play paintball in the woods and refuse to pay taxes......like the rest of us. Alaska doesnt need these types aiding in Independence. Im all for conservatism backed by the second ammendment, but not these nuts. And as long as I have flight benefits that have in AK every 60 days or so, I will protest to anyone who will listen. Awaiting the flames.

Sorry, that have ME in AK every 60 days or so.

I lived in Alaska for 3 years. The folks up there are independent, and strong, not a-holes. Bet this guy doesn't last more than 2 years til he comes crawling back to Michigan.

I hope so, Dog. Kenai is too sacred a place to me for any kind of anti Government activity. The confluence of the Russian and Kenai rivers at Coopers Landing is where we go to escape St. Louis, Id hate to see it marreed by these nuts.

I remember reading that Alaska supposedly claims that if the U.S. ever cowtails and joins the United Nations in full globalization that Alaska would break away.

I know nothing of this guy moving there but it sounds like he is too far ahead in seeing our downfall and he looks wacked. I am all for the right to form militia, it is our very roots and cause but there is a fine line between standing down rightiously prepared; and downright wacked.

This guy is a moron...I have met him personally. A wanna-be plain and simple.

LOL...he went from "Terrorist Training" to "Saving the Whales" in Alaska. What a Joke!!

I feel very strongly about AK and the second ammendent.You are right, there is a very fine line. From what I have heard this guy is no good for AK. I live in Missouri, if the US ever joined completely with the UN, I would lead the charge for secession!!

[SuziQ]

Sounds like he fell out of favor with the Michigan Militia because he is just too danged full of himself! I'm sure the folks in Alaska will come to feel the same way.

I heard on a local radio talk show yesterday morning, that this guy is buying land out on the north road in Nikiski. I think those folks out there are independent minded and not the sheeple that have previously followed old Norm around.

If he tries to get involved in local politics, I wouldn't give him much hope.
