The failing of your attempt is that it is located in the US. Thus it is still under the laws of the US.

As has been noted several times recently, the model for US liberals is more like this or this.

It's terribly curious how the conservatives here keep avoiding those two examples. And that is, of course, because they'd have a hard time trying to tell everyone those two were miserable failures of socialism/liberalism.
Yeah, I figured it'd be move to Venezuela. The only reason why I clicked.

Plenty of people think their own countries are better than US.

Yet, do you see millions of people try to immigrate to their countries each year? Please name another country that has such attraction.

The world has spoken and this has long been settle that US is the best country bar none.

You do understand that to them, western civilization is the source of all evil.

Whom do you think Churchill fought? Nazis, right? Nazis, national socialist, are their socialist comrades. Of course they hate Churchill.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkin..._RMS_Lusitania

The second one is important since most don't know the background, but much like his celebration of the pearl harbor attacks, Churchill made sure the civilian cruiser was shot down:
4A week before the sinking of Lusitania, Winston Churchill wrote to Walter Runciman, the President of the Board of Trade, stating that it is "most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the United States with Germany."[99][98]
