When you start boiling it down, if our country collapses because of our inane fiscal policies our foreign policy isn't going to matter one iota.


Concur. But it is not surrender time. This is the time to fight.

As negative as I've been this week, I am not ready to jump ship. I've been around the world more than once or twice and my wife was well traveled internationally and in the USA before we met. We have been discussing options for days. We don't know anywhere we would rather live than where we are now.

Today I reminded myself of 2 quotes from American history:

The first was when Jones was asked to surrender by a British officer.

"We have not yet begun to Fight!
~ John Paul Jones

The second was the American Paratrooper's response to the German surrender ultimatum at Bastogne.

"Nuts!"
~ Brigadier General McAuliffe, 101st Airborne Division

These are great memories and they both were great and brave Americans. Now we need to get it on and use every legal means to right the ship we all know as the good old USA.

All of us need to become proactive.
