Attack me if you will.
Yes, yes - check my profile - I am indeed presently living abroad for work but I have always been a flag-waving American.
At the moment some members of this august forum - which I have adored for many years, long before I was "golux" - believe Sarah can beat Hillary... Believe America will come to its senses on homosexual everything... Believe there will be some "push back," believe that for the first time in history (well, sine Appomatox) the Federal government will stop expending exponentially... Believe that Career Congresscritters will once again deign to "represent" their constituents... Believe that our Moslem president and his minions at the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming can somehow use their out-of-control, unaccountable spy agencies to audit conservatives into regaining, for America, some miniscule thread of respect in this world... Believe that if we try - if we really try - hard enough to teach our kids how to F each other up the A in grade school and on Sesame Street, then Americans might have jobs and hope again.
But I'm just not seeing it. I really do believe that our country is sick. Mortally sick.
Yep, I've read Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. You should too. It'll take you many months, but it's worth doing. The similarities are uncanny. Shockingly so.
I guess I still love America and that for which she "stood." I have sacrificed much for my patriotism as so many of us have - and I have been blessed by our wonderful society. I love America. I LOVE America.
But the Founders' message is real. Ayn Rand's message is real. The LORD and His Commandments are real. I am not a Christian, but if America were a Church (in my case a synagogue,) I'd leave it.
If the RNC were a Church I would leave it.
I have a family. I am afraid for my children's brains, their sexuality, their knowledge of good and evil, their morality. I have lived in many places and can assure you ours is no longer the land of the free.
I am tired of arguing with European (Jews, mainly) about how America isn't crime-ridden, filled with bums and fags and pedophiles and drug addicts and perverted teachers and communists and obese, immoral, undereducated welfare zombies.
America is. We are. After 9/11 we elected a freakin' guy named (probably) Barack Hussein Obama, about whom we know less than nothing. We did this. Is Satan in charge of America?
Tonight I told the Aesop fable about the dog and the wolf to my kids. I love to draw these stories out with details, sounds, et cetera.
For the first time I realized I was being a hypocrite comparing Americans to the wild, free wolf rather than the enslaved, fat, stupid dog, and it choked me up.
My hope is dead. Even a revolution seems impossible. We have traded all of our liberties for safety, and delight in the process, sucking on Soma and flocking to Wal Mart for more American flag decals stamped by Chinese preteens.
But what to do? Where to go?
I love Free Republic. Would there were one.
“Go To Texas.
NO! It’s HORRIBLE here. There are NO jobs, No women, No water, No air, the people are rude and we ran out of food years ago.”
But Texas, or New North Mexico, is going to be home to 11 million new immigrants. Then there really will be no jobs, no water, no air, and no food.
Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!
It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!
For example:
While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to “get a bill passed this year,” nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.
llegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.
1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.
2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).
3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.
4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.
5.) Spend NO money on “securing the border.” It is a bottomless money pit.
6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.
7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and US Coast Guard.
8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.
9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.
Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!
Five years ago I might have attacked you, not today.
It seems like a natural place to be if you really hate America and don’t want to BE American!
LOL
Yep. And worst of all, we also ran out of beer.
I’m not going anywhere. I may be middle aged and crippled but I’m man enough to stand and fight for what I believe in.
I’m not trying to pimp my podcast, but I interviewed Fernando Aguirre (FerFAL) yesterday and he has some really good insights into relocation. Uruguay is the only South American country he would recommend. Others have moved to Costa Rica, and there is quite a large American contingent there. Ultimately, he believes America is the best choice and suggests moving to the state(s) that are most freedom minded.
Also, buy the book Strategic Relocation by Joel Skousen for some very good information and suggestions.
I do understand how the Pilgrims felt when they first moved to Holland and realized the culture there was corrupting their kids. I feel exactly the same way and would love to find my own Mayflower.

What difference does it make? All of them will have their own set of problems, none will be “good enough.” Just roll the dice ... close your eyes and stick a pin in a map.
I vote for all liberals and whiney bitches to move to California.
I’ll stick it out here. When I retire it will be way up in northern New England. Already have a place built in a small, beautiful village.....but, I get what you are saying. I have a grandparent that was born in Ireland. So yup, I went & got my Irish passport, not so much for me unless things go crazy, but for my kids if they need to get out of here since they will also become Irish citizens through me.
How utterly dispiriting. [and true]
I speak and read it without any trouble.
Not everyone has the capacity for learning languages though... it is my sixth, so after the first four, they all come a lot easier.
Texas will be blue in 10 years and part of Mexico in 20
Yep, come on down to Austin where conservatives thrive. The more, the merrier....and pay no attention to those few libs around here. They'll be moving on to New Mexico shortly.
I live in Panama, and have visited Belize several times within the past year. English is the **official** language, but the real language is Kriol, an unusual admixture of French, assorted native tongues, and English. Easy to learn pidgin Kriol -- BRUTAL to speak it fluently (i.e. talk easily with most Belizeans).
Perhaps 20% (and that's a guess) of Belizeans speak English comprehendibly.
Secondly, Belize -- while trying like mad to attract expatriates to its shores -- shot itself in the foot very badly with the highly fraudulent "economic citizenship" programme that blew up in 2008. The story goes that there were more fraudulent "Belizean" passports in circulation than official ones. I've no dog in this fight, and thus no opinion...but I do have two friends who were burned by the abuse of this scheme to the tune of several thousands of dollars. Es lo que es, eh?
Belize appears to be going down the road of that old Star Trek episode, "The Cloud Dwellers". There is VERY distinctly an economic dichotomy in society. The poor (and that would be somewhere above 70% of the population) live not quite hand-to-mouth, but not far away. The wealthy are in two groups: the traditional oligarchy (every Latin nation has one) and the newly-minted expatriados class, living in sealed communities like Ambergris Cay and Orchid Bay. A **VERY** unhealthy long-term development.
Belize, despite the official pronouncements, spends almost exactly NOTHING on its own infrastructure, roads, sewers, pest control OTHER THAN what it can get (for which word, read: extort) from foreign developers. Belize City, particuarly, is -- unfortunately -- a dump with a fairly serious crime problem to boot.
I'm not posting this to piss on Belize; the nation is beautiful and the people are very friendly. Rather, I'm posting this to combat some of the rainbows-and-unicorns propaganda about Belize that one sees these days, both from the goobermint and from private sites such as International Living.
Simply inform yourself as fully as possible about Belize before even CONSIDERING a move there, or even an extended stay. That's all I ask, ok?
FReegards!
Yeah, I’m going down with the ship. There’s plenty of space in this country where I can lose myself if I have to . . . .
As you start narrowing down your choice, I think you’ll be unpleasantly surprised to learn that most countries don’t WANT us! Australia is one country that has an age limit. Sure, you can go to these countries for fairly short periods of time but then you have to leave, and I wouldn’t bet on their policies toward illegals as being as insane as ours.
