The battle is lost and there is no place to jump. I of course don’t know your resources, but it seems prudent to at least find a place, or several of them, transfer wealth there, convert it to preserve it while you can and then use it for vacationing. If the tide unexpectedly turns, you can always continue to enjoy it as a home away from home. My places afford me pretty much everything I enjoy. And you can pass it to your children when you die. There are still places that grant freedom, plenty of them. They are not nearly as sophisticated as western countries, but I prefer it that way. In my opinion some of these places are much better than the west in that they possess a lot more opportunity for adventure, a lot more opportunity to make your own place as you see fit. There are even ex-pat communities in some of them. I support a lot of missionaries in other countries. They are in many of these lands and are the best people in the world with which to form community. So in my case, when the time comes, I will have a community essentially of my own culture waiting for me (though I will certainly be taking on other cultures too). In the meantime, I am sending even more from here to them in order to build up these areas. I am pretty much winding down here in America. To find your own place and determine when you will inhabit it, you need to be willing to look at yourself, at your country and at the rest of the world dispassionately. Be prepared to set clear boundaries concerning what you will accept. This is the major failure I see in Americans on this point. They don’t really know in their own minds and hearts when enough is enough. They have no personal plans. So, they just accept what comes their way, depending upon how it "feels." This has allowed them to slowly become so deceived that they now believe in their heart of hearts that people like me are radical, but that the federalization of a guy’s sticking his penis up another guy’s rectum and giving rights because of it is the height of American tradition. If America forces Americans to accept what objectively they are not, then the philosophy of freedom, as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence will have come to an essential end. Nevertheless the vast majority of Americans will not understand this. They will accept any loss of freedom, any oppression, as long as they can eat at McDonald’s and watch TV. They will be fooled by false “patriotism,” junk food, trash TV and general laziness into thinking America is still the best place on earth, even as the tree begins to fall and the vise of ever crushing debt and moral profligacy tightens around their necks. Crime will continue to increase, along with taxes, debt, divorce, teen-depression, sickness; and no one will really know why the American quality of life vanishes. Even as they claim to themselves that they live in the best country on earth, they will blame politicians for the depressed lives that they themselves have created. In bitterness they will change politician after politician, looking for some messiah to give them jobs and cure their ills. They will ultimately receive a despot who will promise them the world and give them utter pain and sorrow. We have become our own worst enemies by remaining silent and complacent while the deviants have taken over our country… You should try something. To get an idea just how ugly the thing really is, take your TV set and throw it in the trash. You have already dismissed the mere suggestion of it. Something as trivial as TV is now widely seen as an absolute necessity when in reality it is amongst the most effective ways of moving Americans along its now damnable trajectory. We have given people rights and freedoms and now the deviants and the scum are passing laws which silence opposition and dissent to their perversions. We gave them the right to speak and now they return the favor with censorship laws. The lesson here is that it is bad practice to falsely grant rights on a basis that does not really exist. We ought not have in any way recognized homosexuality or any other sort of deviant behavior.
