Well, they may be too stupid to see what the end result will be, but they knew what they were doing, when they voted for Odumbo. They were voting for free stuff. I spent 20 years of my life, fighting the cold war, protecting this country from the communists. Little did I know they would win without firing a shot. Unfortunately, I believe others are right, we have reached a tipping point, and being as another civil war will never happen, America is over. I cry many tears over her demise, but I believe it is over. Can we ever recover? Possibly, but it took Russia 70 years to get out from underneath totalitarianism, it may take that long for America to get out from underneath it too. Alex, I am jealous, as are others here. Can I have your permission to come sip cool drinks with you on those beautiful Philippine beaches?
You took the words out of my mouth.
America recover? God only knows, but I do not expect it in my lifetime.
Remember, Central Europe was under the Communist thumb, but they have recovered.
If I had to leave here for some unknown reason, I would go back to Slovakia.
As for the others on here, some may be jealous but it does not bother me. As I said...I feel their pain.
I have many more that private mail me to get info.
As I have stated, I love America, but I can not save her from the idiots.
You are always welcome to our beach.
Their is a very small group of us that made a small sitting garden above the beach. We gather there for some Sam Miguel at 4 PM each day.
There is my landlady’s husband from PA, and a fairly recent expat from Cape Cod. Others come by from time to time.
The three of us are married to Philippine wives.
One other word of caution...This is a third world country. Some people can not adapt, but most can.
I had a Swedish friend here. He had married a local girl, but he could not accept the culture.
They both moved first to Malaysia. That was no good, so they then moved to the Canary Islands. They seem to be happy there, and she received automatic Spanish citizenship due to Spain having ruled the Philippines for so long.
I think the Europeans outnumber us Americans here.
