Frank Szabo Living on 'Freedom Orchard'

When last we heard from Frank Szabo, he had posted that he was emigigrating to South America following his September 2012 defeat in the New Hampshire state primary election.

He has apparently followed through with his promise as he recently posted a video (click the link to watch) promoting a life of liberty at the Freedom Orchard, which is located in Chile.

Szabo, of course, grabbed national headlines last August when he made controversial comments regarding his staunch pro-life platform.

An admitted Free Stater, Szabo, in an interview with Bedford Patch compared abortion to slavery and said he'd condone the use of deadly force in extreme circumstances pertaining to abortion.

"I don't think anybody would have trouble with preventing a full-grown human being from being murdered," Szabo told Patch, "so why would anyone object to the use of deadly force to prevent the murder of an unborn human?"

Szabo, who apologized and retracted his comments a day later, lost his bid for the Republican nomination for county sheriff during the Sept. 11 Primary election.

In November, Szabo announced he emigrated to South America via an update on his campaign Facebook page with the following post (see screen shot of full message above):

As some of you may know, my family and I have left the country. This was a decision which was a possibility many months ago. If it were not for the campaign, we would have left much earlier. After having lost The Primary, it became a certainty. In my opinion, there was nothing else I could do which could make a real difference.
