in response to reader comment: Islam plays the long game

Thanks a lot for your wonderful opinion.

You seem to be a true American patriot. However you are assuming a lot of wrong things about both Islam as well as your elected leaders.

What you need to understand is very simple. The current American state needs Petrodollar for survival. If the Saudis stop selling their oil to the Chinese in Dollars and start selling it in Yuan, American exceptionalism and the world she made will be gone for good for eternity. Please know this very well and make your plans accordingly that the present American system cannot and will not be able to go against Petrodollar and therefore cannot antagonize the Saudis for its own survival.Period.

What that leaves for patriots like you ? I believe you should opt for a separate nation independent of the machinations of Washington DC. This nation should involve all the Trump-voting states like Iowa, Texas and California etc.

Secession is the only solution for people like you who love the America where they grew up with.

I would love your views on my thoughts.
