If the federal police state continues to grow at the expense of personal liberty then there is no reason for the United States of America to continue to exist.

I strongly disagree.

It's true that the WOD has eroded personal liberty a lot more than I would like but I don't share your level of despair. America is still the freedom capitol of the world. What I do find discouraging is your readiness to abandon America on this pretext. The biography you volunteered makes your position even sadder but if you wish to align yourself with the arrogant, 'self-loving' teenagers quoted in this article, that's your choice to make.

Thanks for letting us know who we can count on in the days to come and who thinks America isn't worth having.

Don't forget that the Revolution was fought by Englishmen against Englishmen for the rights of Englishmen. The Civil War was fought by Americans who believed in personal liberty against Americans who believed in the liberty of the states. Are you calling me a traitor? I swore an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. My oath and my family honor require that I use my own best judgement in this situation. I will go to prison before I support any more totalitarian enactments and I will leave before I go to prison.
