It seems more and more AMERICANS don’t want to be associated with community agitator and Nobel peace trophy recipient, Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro.

But, but, but this is impossible. Just a couple of days ago Mike Huckabee was bragging that America is a country everybody wants to get into and nobody is trying to leave.

America is not a great country. It is a corrupt, dying country with a Constitution written by geniuses.

How do the American people compare—morally—with the German people of 1942?

Hitler had to conceal the existence of his death camps.

The locations where 58 million American babies have been killed are all in the Yellow Pages.

The Nazi Party lied about most of its agenda.

The Democrat party has had abortion in its platform since 1972—yet not a single American Catholic bishop has told Catholics that it is sinful to be a Democrat. “Mainline” churches have been fully on board with abortion for decades.

I agree with Mike Huckabee 100%.

I don’t support his presidential ambitions, but he is completely right about America.

We however need to bring back American jobs.

GOP stand up, and start working on behalf of working Americans.

What use is it to retain US citizenship if...

Non-citizens are permitted to vote?

We need to bring back American jobs.

This I believe many of us share, as a strong (and growing) desire.

I don’t actually care how we bring back American industry. Though to made the point I am not just complaining, I myself firmly believe we need to implement immediate and real import tariffs on everything imported into America, to raise the price of imports (and to incidentally, slow down our catastrophic trade imbalance, which has resulted in an over 18 trillion dollar deficit currently for our country, and rapidly getting even worse by the day)

This would at least partway, remove the motivation to outsource manufacturing.

If you cannot sell something made elsewhere, for less than it costs to make it right here, then more companies would leave manufacturing right here in America.

And some would bring back manufacturing.

There are many ways. I am not saying this is the only one, but it would immediately stop the terrible situation we have right now, which is leading to ever-more trade imports.

America needs to be for America.

Enough of the huge sell-off. Bring back US industry, right here to America.

There are other ways, I am not saying tariffs are the only solution, but what we are doing now is simply selling out our very own nation.

We need to support America.

What you said. We might be going in the wrong direction, but most other countries (especially European countries) have slid off the left side of the globe.

I'm currently reading Mark Steyn's "America Alone." If that doesn't discourage a person from moving to Europe, I don't know what would.

How many of these are real Americans, and how many are immigrants or their offspring, who came here to get rich and then go home.

Mass immigration has made this just a non-nationalistic international stopping place to make money in, and then return home, and dropping one of your dual citizenship.

That’s one of many, albeit not related to this issue with respect to reasons for renunciation.

You had better care how, or else industrial jobs are not coming back. They will not come back with pervasive godless liberalism, a colossal welfare state, draconian regulations, and the highest corporate tax rates on the planet remaining in place. (All of the above are the impetus for outsourcing, incidentally.)

So “real Americans” ought to pay FATCA, like (ahem) “patriotic” Americans? you know, like how Al Sharpton pays his taxes? or Warren Buffett?

America needs to bring back jobs, right here to America.

You are all for outsourcing.

Everyone is currently, all for outsourcing. Republicans are all for outsourcing. Democrats are all for outsourcing. In fact, China has now overtaken America as the world’s largest exporter, because everyone is all for outsourcing.

I’m just saying, there will be a move to bring back American businesses at some point. When it starts, it will gain momentum quickly, and overwhelm what is currently happening.

Someone will lead on this.

Don’t be on the wrong side of this, when it happens.

FATCA operates much like a soft Berlin Wall which keeps Americans penned in and exploited for the benefit of endless waves of redestributionists and illegal aliens.

Eh? I spoke against every cause of outsourcing, and I am the one “all for the outsourcing”?

Merely adding tariffs now is a tax increase, and will lead to a trade war. Leaving all the liberal policies in place means unending outsourcing and ever-increasing welfare state bloat, and an eviscerated USA that will fall before a single private-sector manufacturing job could ever return. Sounds like you are pro-outsourcing, since you oppose removing its causes.

You are stalling, and that is not going to work forever.

I am just saying.

Bring back jobs, to America.

Citing the causes of outsourcing and advocating for their removal is “stalling”?

You are not serious about bringing back jobs to the USA, then. In fact, I accuse you of lying when you claim to advocate for same.

(I notice that you, like Obama, say “America” and not “the USA”, too.)

I say America because I like the way it sounds. We need to bring back American jobs.

Bring back jobs, to America.

We have been “outsourcing” for more than one entire generation. Both parties have been outsourcing. Every job is being outsourced.

America’s economy needs to grow once again.

That means we need to stop outsourcing, and start to hire Americans once again.

Now.

Don’t feel bad however. Virtually nobody is currently working to bring back jobs to (the USA).

They will though.

It is just a matter of when, and who takes the lead at this point.

Republicans, I strongly suggest, you not leave this for democrats.
