Alex,
A bit more trying was arguing with a man about Obama. Even otherwise masculine men were hot for Obama.

I can only admit to sheepishness, forty years this October, and I’ve never won one with my wife yet. BUT- I’m an optimist. Like oft quoted cuz. Jack Gleeson was noted for. “One of these day’s Alice!” I can’t quit trying. European travel sounds good, a good local rebirth of Liberty, Truth and Justice for all, though will have to simmer in the ooze of bureaucracy long past 2012 before it experiences a rebirth. But, I grew up in New Mexico and found that living in a Hispanic culture is not that difficult. Get away from the border towns, drug routes and you find decent modest citizens to live with on either side of the border. Not only that, but if the break toward Liberty does come quickly, the person in Mexico, will have the opportunity to rejoin much faster than if they were in Siberia. I know, doomed to argue, Don Quixote.

[Fred Reed says as much. I just can’t tolerate the heat. 65F degrees is my limit; actually the brain functions best at that temperature. I love cool climates.]

Although anyone can argue, “my way or the highway,” a sovereign is needed to make that prescription a reality. Who’s to say that Obama won’t, ultimately, do that with his health care “reforms?” His predecessor did so with his unconstitutional, immoral invasion of a sovereign country, helped along by his phrase, “You’re either with us, or with the terrorists.” Few Americans want to be “with” the enemy; Obama just needs to find the “correct” phraseology. Kind of like Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany (who really did have autocratic rule) when he averred, “Whoever in the case of a European war was not with me was against me,” (Barbara Tuchman, “The Guns of August,” p. 24). And look at how well that effort turned out.

Alex – well yes, “interesting things” are happening in Europe. A detailed analysis of this can be found in Christopher Caldwell’s book, “Reflections on the Revolution In Europe”, which I would highly reccomend.

WOW, Mr. Glisson – you actually tried arguing with a *woman*? Holy cow. No offense, but that is one of the dumbest things anyone of any gender can do.

I remember arguing with a girl over Obama. She said he was ‘amazing’. I started laughing. After she asked why, I said something to the effect that, despite my age, I knew more about how the world worked than he did. She scoffed; there was no way! I explained calmly that he did not know nearly anything about economic theory.

Know what she said (after throwing her arms up in the air)? ‘Haven’t you seen his speeches?!’

I stared at her and then called her an idiot.

For Ilana,

I’ll try to choose my words more carefully in the future.

[It sure makes it easier for the moderator. Otherwise you’ll be giving ammo to those who’d love to discredit your solid thinking.]

I agree that America is lost. I’ve believe this for some time. But there is nowhere to run. Europe is an unarmed population faced with an encroaching caliphate. And Mexico is, well, Mexico.

The new republic will be born right here, in the ashes of the old.

I’ve been corresponding with my sister-in-law over the TEA party and Health Care. I send her history of the first revolution, facts and numbers about the deficit and the need for countering Congress’s lies with facts and figures contrary to theirs. Receive ditzy reply. Send her e-mails with more facts about the deficit and explaining that this can only become a revolution if cool heads educate the public to why the TEA party exists and how we need to win the support of the people. I never receive any confirmation that any of my information has registered in a positive manner.
I agree with Alex that the fight is lost. I liked Georgia until the US used it to tick off the Russians. I still think Mexico is worth checking out and customs is a breeze. Now if I can just get my wife to brush up on her Spanish.

[Bless you for trying, but, as I once said, I would gladly give up my vote if all women were denied the vote.]

Not to be a overly negative again, but it’s time to give up on this country guys. I decided that America was not a place that supported liberty years ago.

We are, unfortunately, merely documenting the decline of a once great culture and civilization with our complaints and posts.

It’s time to find the New America, and leave this rotten husk to the fools, idiots, and evil people to rot in.

I hear that there are interesting things going on in Europe…
