I still wonder what I will lose if I stay resident in and loyal to my country? I have not seen any diminution of either my freedom or my money due to the Democrats so why should I leave?
I suppose I could do a Limbaugh and go to Thailand for some pre teen sex but I'm not wired that way. I prefer adult women.
WOW I assume you can back that statement. Limbaugh has sex with pre teen children in Thailand.
Nah I didnt think so.
Maybe you think the same of me in light of the fact I go to Thailand every year. (with my wife who is 49).
It is now disloyal to relocate to another country? Hardliners abound as do their radical view points.
How about this.
Thailand is much less expensive when it comes to cost of living.
Thailand enjoys many of the same freedoms that we do.
Thailand is a modern society gasp they even have running water.
Thais are a wonderful people and a wonderful culture. perhaps you should visit a place before trashing it based on here say.
I will avoid state taxes that will skyrocket in the bankrupt states like Ill'annoy...Im set up to live below the poverty level of income, maybe I'll sign up with the moochers and get me some "free" stuff...
I was referring to the poster who says he/she is fleeing the US because of Obama.

To relocate based on who is president is about as feeble as it gets. He is the talking head for his party. Nothing more.
I have a few friends looking at panama. A have a few looking at the Philippines, and Thailand. I have chosen Thailand for several reasons.
1. I love the country
2. I love the people, my wife is Thai.
3. Cost of living is much lower than in the USA.
4. Hard to beat good Thai food.
Never been to Thailand, so I can't comment. I know the scenery and scuba diving is pretty darn good over there. My wife is Panamanian, so I have been there a lot, and I know about the perks they offer to foreigners who move there. Also, it is not too far from here.
To which freedoms do you refer? For example I love to target shoot. In Thailand that will change. I can live without my target shooting. What I can also live without is excessive taxation on my retirement investments. I can also live without much of the drama and lies that are spewed by both parties.
I love my country, i have bled for my country, but I detest DC and the career politicians that have done their level best to destroy a once great nation.
Do I think Obama is evil? NO, but I think the DNC as well as the GOP are.
Yes I know Thailand has issues as well. I can live there a lot cheaper than I can here and believe it or not it is a wonderful country filled with wonderful people.
That sounds like a really good plan, and I largely agree with your sentiment about both parties, although one party has done far more damage to this country with its service to the unchecked greed of corporations, banking deregulation, attacks on organized labor and the middle class and enabling outsourcing than the other party, which has oft times acted feckless and impotent, as though it were a willing partner of the other.
No matter, Thailand is a wonderful country and it is full of very warm people. I fully expect more and more Americans will be choosing parts of Asia and the S. Pacific in the future as places to call home.
LOL! I always have to laugh at these people who say they're going to flee the USA because of Obama. Many of them say that he's a "communist" and that they hate all of his "socialist" policies, etc. etc. So my question is, where the heck are you going to go? Newsflash, every single other rich, developed nation on earth is more "socialist" than us and pay far higher taxes. Most of them (minus Japan and South Korea perhaps) are also more socially liberal than us as well (in regards to gun control, same-sex marriage, abortion, etc. etc.) So where are you all going? Either you're going to a more "socialist" country than the USA, or you're going to a non-developed country. And if that's the case, then have fun and good luck because I certainly don't envy you.
For those of you who do leave, have a nice trip! We won't miss you here!

Limbaugh went to the Dominican Republic for his sexual tourism. He may also go to Thailand, but he is known to visit the D.R.

They are right now, they might look much more attractive in the future if we take the The Great Leap FORWARD!!! 0bama's talking about...
Don't think for a minute there arent "evil" rich people making plans to get out of here, 0bama will bankrupt the USA if reelected....
There's actually a good argument that were already there and living on borrowed time right now...
If Obama wins again, one can profit by knowing that his "economic policies" will result in continued high unemployment, lower wages, and higher debt.
By virtue of increased money supply and high debt, commodoties will remain high and one can profit by the continuing surge in ag products and oil as a result. Farmland prices in brazil have skyrocketed due to Obama's policies. His high corporate taxes have helped to drive US manufacturing the cheaper locations, thus increasing profits.
Obama is terrible for the average American, but he can reward those who are able to benefit from the economic misery he meters out.
your very smart. I agree and you dont panic~~!
