Where would you go beside the USA

Some of us try. The laws are still there, but we are pretty well left alone. We raise our own food, build our own homes, farm our own land, make our own tools etc. Legally we aren't anymore free than any of the other subjects, but it sure helps to be able to say we could live without the goverment or any outside help. Which brings up another point. I, and I'm sure others here, have family roots running into this land more than a century old. My family first built on the land we own in the early 1860's. My entire family has been born and raised there and most have died there. I'd rather die and be buried in the hills where I was raised than be the first generation of my family to turn tail and run.

Concur with OMA, Germany isn't what it used to be. I left in 2009 and it was a socialist utopia. The Euro has made everything expensive as it did with every country that adopted it, fuel was over $10 a gallon and a beer was $7.50! Of course on base it was reasonable but society wasn't happy. Trains are available to get you nearly anywhere you want to go but they are not inexpensive either. As of late there is a lot of resistance against the massive influx of immigrants, the msm doesn't talk about it because it's not pc.

 

If you scan the news sources of your preference, you might see that there is a massive movement of immigrants to western countries, mostly muslim of course. Perhaps it's coincidence, perhaps it's part of the plan. Either way stand up for America or get out of the way if, or when, the time comes.

To the person  who said Germany.. not sure when you went there last.. btu its not any better than here.. trust me:)

 

 

 

Even tho I am not a US citizen..i wouldnt want to go anywhere else.. I would take up arms in a heartbeat for the USA..I have been  treated nice here( 99% of the time) I worked , i payed taxes, I dont  want for anything and we are lucky to be able ot do what we want ,when we want it,..

 

I might noty agree with the current political issues or some laws but that is anywhere in any country.

 

There are a lot of folks who aren't citizens but who feel that way. I was in the 7th Army in Karlsruhe and Augsburg in the early 60's, and it was policy at that time to immediately draft all male legal immigrants of draft age In their first year here. So in my outfit we had Manfred Buerkle from Germany, Antonio Hurtado from Ecuador, Matti Luhtala from Finland + 2 other Finnboys whose names I can't recall, Snanouge from France, a kid from Cypress, Lopez from Mexico City, John Pence from Scotland, and a couple of Texans. :pleased:  And this was just a small 125 man detachment.  I would have trusted these guys in combat just like anyone else. They weren't citizens yet, but they were darned sure devoted Americans. (The rate of exchange was 3.86 Deutsche Marks per Dollar, and a 0.9 liter bottle of beer on the economy was a Mark. Gas was $1.60 per liter. I was there from 1961 to '64.........er....AD.

I was stationed at Ramstein 25 years ago.  When I arrived the exchange rate was $1=DM2.10 and when I left 2 years later it was down to DM1.38 Started to plummet after the wall came down.  Beautiful country and terrific people but very expensive to live in.  Had gas ration coupons.  Cost of cigs was ridiculous (good time to quit)  I will say this about Germany... the beer was the best I've had.  I never realized how bad American beer was until I got to Germany. :cheers:

NextExit, I was there then too.  I was with the cop unit on Ramstein from 89-93 when I retired.  What did you do there?

 

 

As far as bugging out, nah...I'll die here...if it comes to it, hopefully in a big pile of spent brass.
