The Rats Are Trying to Flee the Ship That They Tried to Sink. [View all]

So Bachmann just recently admitted that she has claimed her Swiss citizenship. Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue but I find it interesting that a former RNC candidate and a member of the House Intelligence Committee as well as an active member of Congress just ostensibly swore an oath of loyalty to a foreign power.

So then I "stumbled" (ok, I actually searched for it) across this thread in Freeperland. Before I clicked the title to lead me to the conversation, I was mostly expecting wide condemnation as well as epitaphs and tirades questioning her loyalty, particularly since she is a T-Party favorite.

Well, far from the vicious attacks known as the S.O.P. of the right-wing, a different theme emerged: it seems that many of them voiced their support for the idea of leaving the US.

Holding citizenship in a peaceful country far from the U.S. may come in handy some day.

So true. As long as you get there before the airports close.

Michele is a smart lady. Does her SHTF plan involve Swiss Franks and an Alpine “vaction home”?

Only problem is when the US goes down many other countries will have gone down before it, and those that rise will see to it that there are no peaceful countries, Only Muslim countries , Russia, and China, and a lot of dead infidels.

Or one could apply for citizenship to a country that is further down the craphole than is the US. I am eligible for British Citizenship since I was born there not on a military installation before the law was amended in 1956. I have looked into it but it seems once I declare, I am also eligible for taxation by that country.

Now I have four passports.

1. US
2. Switzerland
3. British National(Overseas)
4. Taiwan
