This from the "best Secretary of State ever" and the man who stopped the rise of the ocean. Who believes this cr*p? Redact that question as the majority of voters apparently do believe it and as the Dems are fond of saying - They are liars but its okay because they are our liars.

He has been elected to the presidency twice now and my question is - what does this say about the country and those who put him there? Enough citizens voted for him to put him in office and this is the real problem because those attitudes and opinions are still out there waiting for the next pied piper to come along. We now have Hillery in the wings - another snake in the grass being sold to the drones and she will win unless driven down with Benghazi. Has the tipping point already been passed? The "tell" will be the 2014 elections.

Rearranging your personal situation is not difficult, it just takes time and a plan. Certainly laws like FATCA make it more difficult but there are many alternates to sticking your money in foreign banks or stock markets. If you adopt the view that the government is a predator and you the prey then what follows are a logical set of steps coupled with mental realignment which allows for a much lowered visibility, especially to those state department types who make lists of expats. The resulting rise in quality of life and the increased freedom of self determination is worth the time and effort.

Why not? After all, if they are paying for your healthcare then you have given them the right to control your way of life.

In the limit it all becomes the same and the advantages become transitory. Those driving the government into those areas they have no business being and those seeking additional power and influence are the real root cause, I recall moving from Massachusetts to Arizona - gas in MA was .35 per gallon and .15 per gallon in AZ - now it is the same in either location. For reference, gas in Mexico where I now reside with much increased freedom, is $2.50 with no alcohol additive.

Time to bail Charles?

I wish there was more intelligence displayed in your position. Please point out to me that portion of your position which directly addresses the real issue of dealing with mental health and weapons.

In Hiatt's mind he is entirely consistent since it all belongs to the government and any received by the individual is the result of government largess.

Chickens coming home to roost? Seems an apt description - wonder who said that. For me, the writing was on the wall when the picture on the one dollar bill was cited accompanied by the statement that they don't look like me. An adroit way of playing the race card. Are we all screwed? probably. Is our country going to survive this? perhaps - in the European fashion but its of, for, and by the government going forward. As pistol says - this will not end well and I am doing my part to "starve the beast".

Mexico is the 3rd largest export for U.S. goods - this is leverage and this is how Obama reacts to it. Haven't seen anything on Mexico's response to Obama's plan to "talk" with youth and students while in Mexico but I do know that he will not make any friends through meddling in the political arena.
