America is a way of living, not a place. There are plenty of people who live in American who are not “American” in their outlook (POTUS, anyone?), while there are lots of people overseas who are just as American as anyone here. Strategically, as Sun Tsu said (The Art of War), you don’t fight battles you are sure to lose. It may make sense to regroup in various places and in various ways.

AMEN PREACH IT! I say ex pats ARE some of the new patriots. I've often said America is an idea, NOT a piece of real estate. All of this is true. And if I do move, I'll keep fighting the fight. I'll have kids here. Maybe grandkids one day. I'll do my writing and interviews and so on...all I need is good internet...and that's almost everywhere. Not every patriot is called to this, but many are.

And really, don't tell me a union thug third generation in Michigan or Ohio is a good American. BULLSH-T! They're socialists. Dittos the entire Democrat Party. If that's "America' - I'm not interested.

Nothing to disagree with in your post. The unfortunate thing is that a lot of folks here in the states haven’t had the chance to live overseas. I have to admit that I prefer it overseas. More freedom in most things compared to the US, better food, cheaper, a more relaxed lifestyle, and a lot of really nice folks.
