[Mycroft Holmes]

No amount of money or any circumstance short of a total collapse of the Constitutional government would make me leave the USA. Even in that worst case scenario I would fight it out, secession being the best case for relief. Leaving just isn’t an option for this patriot. Blood is thicker than gold.

Those are mighty fine sentiments, but I wonder how appropriate they are in a country that did elect Obama once and appears ready to elect him again (or a white and delight-some version of the same thing). The fires of freedom may well burn brighter on some other shore.

I love the land, but my countrymen fall far short of the mark of being a freedom loving band of brothers deserving of my loyalty unto the death. They seem to be largely a bunch of lemmings hellbent on self destruction. YMMV

When are you leaving? AMF.

I look around at the freaks in Hollywood and in Washington and ask more and more, is this country really worth defending? Do I really want my son to fight and die for the people that chose a Kenyan usurper to be President, and for a government that thinks homosexuality is on even terms with heterosexuality.

Good post.
Americans had a republic, but they couldn’t keep it.
