Sure, as soon as you move to Iran or Saudi Arabia, which is what Conservatives prefer. Of course, China is hardly a liberal place of choice. Most liberals would pick Norway, Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, etc. Seeing as Conservatives outsource jobs to China, seems like that would be one of your paradises.

So that's why I never get invited to parties.

Why are people so quick to label who's a Conservative? Enough acting childish, i'm pretty sure everyone here finished elemeantry school already?

Do you think any of your countries of choice would take you in? Maybe you should give it a try.

Yeah, I love being a U.S. citizen, born and raised. I appreciate the U.S. for those things it intends to be whether or not it's always successful. But most of all, I love being a citizen because there's more places I can go to get away from it - at least physically - than there are places from which I wouldn't be able to leave. And yes, I have.

And the only person who might stop me is myself.

I am GRATEFUL I live here. The same way I am grateful to be an American citizen.

Glad is an adjective that doesn't apply to my feelings the same way "proud" doesn't.

I have never understood the "proud to be American" statement. I did not do anything to warrant my American citizenship. It was just a happenstance of birth. I feel LUCKY to be an American, but not proud. That would be like being proud that I am blonde, or tall, or any other thing that I am due to luck alone. I am proud of things I have accomplished not things I have no control over.

I have lived in other countries, I was glad to live there too, but I wouldn't have given up my pretty blue passport for them nonetheless.

especially since they restrict the freedoms of people, and let corporations run around doing whatever they want to
