Why ping others? Because when a certain poster consistently and constantly over many months attempts to belittle and bash our country on this site then he deserves to be called out. Or when he never stops attempting to paint other FReepers as idiots or fools for staying in America. Or when he attempts to portray his lifestyle, (As if no other FReeper is living his own life’s dream and in his own dream location), in some third world as preferable to life in America. Do you also think America bashing here is okay? Do you think you should be looked at as stupid or foolish for living in America?
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”- Mark Twain
I have no problem with people who are leaving our country for obvious reasons. People left Nazi Germany before the SHTF. I have several friends who have left, or want to leave, and move to South America. I would have a problem with them rubbing my nose in it for staying, but I do believe people should prepare to leave if possible... When Anthony Scalia says that internment camps are likely in Americans future, and some conservative Americans still think the 9066 executive order by a progressive ( FDR) was needed, I think we're in for a very rough future. Hopefully we can change course, and avoid any economic collapse. Having said that, I don't begrudge anyone for leaving to protect their families from the coming government crackdown... and it is coming.
