"We will never go back to that earlier version of our nation. It just isn't going to happen. So the best we can do is try to hold the line against creeping national and global Socialism."

If we can't go back and accepting socialism is perceived as the only viable alternative, then getting out of the way, preserving your own capital base even if it means leaving the country, and letting this behemoth collapse under its one weight is the better solution. And the sooner the United States disintegrates the better. There is real hope that some of the regional republics that will arise from the ashes will offer constitutional republics modeled after the original US Constitution.

I said before that I would never again vote for a Democrat. On reconsideration, at the moment in time when I think we can't turn the clock back, then attempting to fast forward the collapse could well become desirable. Voting for democrats could be expected to hasten the demise of the United States and would become something for those who desire freedom to consider.

Where would you go, B.A.? I can't think of another country anywhere on the planet that I'd rather live in than the U.S. Perhaps some of the small, relatively isolated island nations might do, but every government is going to have its flaws. Also, although it might take another century or so, it seems to me the impulse toward a global government is well under way. It's certainly percolating away rather merrily in Europe these days. Taking the long view, I don't know if the U.S. will survive as a nation another hundred years or more. One could make an argument either way. But I won't be here then. So all I can do in my own time is never give up the fight to at least hold the line, if not reverse the worst of current trends. To me, a vote for ANYONE on the Left side of the political spectrum — no matter what political party he/she may affiliate with — is a betrayal of all that I hold dear. And I hold this country very dear, indeed.
