Is there really any country as dedicated to civil liberties as the USA, even under Obozo? (No sarcasm; I’m genuinely curious.)

If you have the privilege of being a US citizen 60yrs or older, you have been a part of the only Great Country to have done so...Ever.

I'm not sure who said it (probably TJ or Reagan) but any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away.
There is no government in the world with the resources Uncle Sam has. Yes, there are a few places left in the world that are free-er than the US right now. Not many, but a few. And the institutional kleptocracy here is just plain nasty. Maybe not as bad as Soviet Russia, but close.
The fiancee and I are planning to go overseas and try a few countries on for size. And honestly if things don't improve here in a major way in the next 5 years we'll probably expatriate. This country no longer values decent working people. We'd like to go somewhere we're appreciated.
