What Price U.S. Citizenship?

British royalty and politicians had no business trying to provide government to people who lived on the other side of an ocean. It took weeks to even find out what was happening on the other side. They were bound to fail. And, they did.

Our leaders in Washington know what's happening in your city as quickly as you do.

n00b,

Some kids cry at Disneyland. Others believe they are at Disneyland, when in fact, they are in Cleveland.

Both are wrong. You can’t fix miserable or unobservant.

Well, in terms of human history, I'd say life in twenty-first century deserves the Disneyland award.

And, if I have to choose between being unobservant and being miserable, I don't want to trade places with you - I'll happily stick with unobservant, thank you.

Unobservant is fixable.

LOL. That's good! I detect a smile in there somewhere.

Except for all the old people, we've got a great country here. We just need to elect better leaders!

Agree with you 100%.

Many overlook the fact that some may well leave America because they are more American than America herself, at least the current one.

Indeed America was borne out of a rejection of the things this weird new country is now fast becoming —these enlightened people a type of new Mayflower Diaspora.

TOUGH LOVE —A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME.

Our leaders in DC could not even protect a US Ambassador who warned them that an attack was imminent. All they could do was watch it live. You need to ask yourself, why ? They will not protect any of their troops. Nor will they care what happens to them. They are corrupt with no morals. Anyone fighting for them, knows that now.

We have rotten leaders. My point was that King George and his Parliament really had no way to govern America effectively. It was inevitable that sooner or later, we'd be governing ourselves. We were growing too fast for such inefficient government.

Our leaders have no such excuses. They are failing because they are crappy leaders. However, we are responsible for the folks we send back there.

I think that there are just too many Americans who like government goodies and who also like to avoid paying for them. Thus, high spending, low taxes, huge deficit/debt. Each day brings us more and more old people who want more and more goodies. And, they don't want to pay for the goodies. And, they always show up to vote.

Once this huge cohort of old folks dies off, we will have another crack at small government. That will be a wonderful time.

Are you drunk? Since your spelling and sentence structure are looking fairly intact, I conclude you’re just a liberal idiot who is too slow too realize who you are.

Tell that to the Australians. They would have all been British/Americans if it was not for our revolution.

At any rate, if you have not yet figured out that the current US government also has a fatal disease, then you really are not paying attention.

No, sir, I am not drunk. I won’t be renouncing my American citizenship and I’m betting you haven’t, either.
