Anyone else see Arabs buying these and renting them out to Turks and other Muslims?
I’m OK with leasing Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon to the Disney company, as long as we get adequate royalties. Since we’re the next Greece, we might as well get our plan ready.
I volunteer San Francisco be put up on the auctioneer block to pay off some of California’s debt. I’m sure we can come up with a few more cities e could part with.
Hence the recent “unprecedented” federal land grab.
Yikes...forgot about the Arabs.
Hey Hawaii!! Pay attention! Your ‘favorite son’ is likely planning something similar.
You’re right BUT I haven’t supported this crap & am not the one walking fown the same path. Instead, I believe the masses of idiot uninformed voters have thrown us all under the bus.
Believe me, I’m just a nurse. Not an economic guru or brilliant business mind. But if I can figure this stuff out, then it’s not rocket science. It’s pretty obviously logical, common sense. I just wish more people would shut off MTV & the like and pay attention!!!

Ditto. Amen. True that.
One would have to be a certifiable fool to buy one of these...it would be like purchasing the Brooklyn Bridge. What’s keeping Greece from simply nationalizing the islands after they collect the loot?

They could just default if they wanted to go down that road though.
Me, if I can’t swing it... I’m going to retire onto a sailboat. Then anchor next to an uninhabited island in the Caribbean and claim it via squatters rights.

Man, that’s a good idea.
Is that real though about the Chinese eminent domain? You linked to a blog there, not an edited news source. Seems like big news.

The Top 100 Things I’d Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord
1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
6. I will not gloat over my enemies’ predicament before killing them.
7. When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”
8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks’ time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled “Danger: Do Not Push”. The big red button marked “Do Not Push” will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum — a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

Oh yeah. I’d like to add that not only did stupid voters ruin this country, but the RINO Republican leadership that has put forth candidates who have either failed to stop the progressive agenda or just outright enabled it. These are the people that have got to go.
One of the most stunningly beautiful places on Earth.
If you EVER get the chance to go to the Greek Isles, do whatever you have to do to go there.
I say we all chip in, buy a few islands, and call it “Free Republic”. Teach the world how a nation ought to work.
;-)
After we sell it, we’ll just seize it and take it back.
Thank you for shopping Socialist Mart....
It’s not going to solve anything if they don’t quit spending more than they take in.
