First, let's start with the most extreme scenario of 'change.' It's less likely to happen but let's get it out of the way.

Scenario: Is it possible that our country is going to turn into another Venezuela? With a lot of youths just out from Liberal public schools and colleges and highly motivated by misguided 'hope and change', anything can happen. Moreover, many are looking for opportunities to create chaos, such as, communists, anarchists and terrorists.

Possible Reactions:

1. Sell everything and move out of the country. Is there anywhere else on earth as good as our country for us to escape to?
2. Carve out a few states and secede. Which states?
3. Create an underground organization to fight back. Better start now because they are going to shut down or bug any communication. Networking with right-minded people who you can trust. It would be tough with snitchers around especially your own kids.
4. Shrug. Flip hamburgers for a living instead, assuming that we will still have McDonald's and the like.
5. Build a hidden Shangri-la with high-tech protection and, of course, with John Galt at the helm.

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command

There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Montana already has prepared papers to secede.

I vote for option #3 and the sooner the better.

Even if one to were do the expat “escape” job, the US federal government would still track you down and send the bill despite which country you were in, and demand access to your wallet to fund increasingly large, social largesse under socialism for the underprivileged masses. You may even find yourself liable for both host country and US taxes simultaneously! You will have nothing left!

But don’t choose Wal-Mart. They will be non-Union toast under Obamanation.

When the county sheriffs round up the guns for “security” reasons it will be time to move on.

Count me in! I agree.

I can think of tons of places and they all have sun and sand the year round. The women are attractive, building a house is more affordable than here, food stuffs are cheaper, all the amenities you have here are available there. Most importantly tho, you won't have any desire to get involved in their politics..........

You'll just relax and enjoy your retirement.......

of course, with John Galt at the helm.

Who is John Galt?
