Building a Seaworthy ‘ARC’ Is Not So Easy ━ The European Conservative Talks about the conference on ‘the Alliance For Responsible Citizenship" makes many comments, including those about people fleeing Western Nations that have been overrun.... Is it too late? Read this and we can have a discussion.
We don't have a issue, and with duel citizenship somewhere else, someplace where being American is still seen as a benefit or value, were all set! Sea Worthy, Yea, very much so!
Agree. The author works for the Danube Institute Mission statement - Danube Institute which was established by the Batthyány Lajos Foundation (BLA) I think that the article in the OP is just a propaganda piece which favours the Viktor Orbán regime.
Prefer John Wayne"s boat myself. Always wanted to see it up close. Being Mr Wayne, he of course didn't pick the fancy yacht, but a good working boat that suited his needs.

For what it's worth, I do think the pendulum is starting to swing back towards sanity; however, whether it is too late or fast enough is still the question...
Sorry, read the post and said navy patrol boat, and that was the one before the mine sweeper. his last boat. Sorry to see it go, but glad his last one is still afloat.
I qualify for Canadian citizenship. I simply cannot imagine saying this: “I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.” (edit..I suppose that's King whats-his-name now) Because I've already said this: I, Zimmy, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. I guess I'm old fashioned but I don't just make oaths like that frivolous. Nor can I demean them for financial gain. Thats what I say today, anyway.
I feel ya, Zimmy. If I could spreche Deutsch a bit better, I qualify for German citizenship. But since the whole of Germany now seems to be a dumpster fire, I see no gain in bothering to up my language skills that way....
I took that oath once myself over 40 years ago ,, and still believe it to be so today. I don't think swearing an oath to people these days means what it used to . It used to be an unbreakable bond . Nowadays,, I just don't think it means much to some folks . I have nowhere else to go ,, so I'll be sticking around here till the end . Maybe some of us will meet on the starting line ,,
