If the U.S. is hopelessly, incurably conservative...
Advertisements [?]
what then?

If the U.S. population swings far enough that liberals become a persecuted minority then what is left to love about our country?

If the middle class is destroyed by outsourcing,
If the Bill of Rights is pushed aside in favor of repression,
If the land is scarred by unrestrained corporate exploitation,
If the air is poisoned by industrial pollution,
If the government becomes a Christian theocracy,

wouldn't it just be better to leave this piece of land to the "Theocratic Muricans" and find another piece of land somewhere else in the world to call home?

What would make "America" worth staying and fighting for if everything that makes America great has been systematically destroyed?

I'm a seventh generation American but I have to face the fact that the time may come when I'd be better off somewhere other than in a neo-dark age theocracy.

What's your breaking point? What would it take to send you fleeing for the border to escape the repression at "home"?
