Jim Bishop Endorses Ron Paul!

HistoryAt the age of 15, Jim Bishop assumed ownership (under the little-known law of laches) of a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) plot of land outside of Pueblo, Colorado. He has been battling local and state government over ownership ever since. The land was heavily forested, and Jim and friends often used it for camping.Construction on the castle did not begin until 1971, when Bishop began construction on a large cistern, which he decided to surround with rocks. Several neighbors noted that the impressive structure looked something like a castle. Bishop took this to heart and soon began building his fortress.Construction on the castle continues today with the addition of a ballroom, a dragon shaped furnace, a chapel, and several complete fireplaces.

LocationThe Castle is located in south central Colorado on State Highway 165 approximately 13 miles (21 km) southeast of the junction of SH 96 and SH 165.

@megaswenson Yea it's not nearly as safe and cool as your castle right.

Those railings look about thirty inches high. Or less. Nothing about this place meets code. This would be a great location for a horror movie....except that there's no way you could get Project Insurance for something exposing the crew to such risks.

I thought he supported no body and that everyone needs to "WAKE UUUUUUUP!"

[stassiface]

he is so right..people who think he is crazy are just sheeple!

[PCROHB]

People say Jim Bishop is crazy. I think hes just mad. Almost everything he says is true, with the exception of a few angry spurts.

[zamonkey]

Wow! That's a loaded question.
