SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Monday, 9/16/2013 3:25 pm
An Arizona family that fled the US by boat only to be lost at sea is planning to leave again, once again by boat. Back in August, the Gastonguay family cited abortion, homosexuality [and] the state-controlled church as reasons for leaving the US to the island nation of Kiribati. However, the voyage did not go as planned as damage to their boat left them adrift for weeks. They were eventually picked up by a Venezuelan fishing vessel, transferred to a Japanese cargo ship and taken to Chile, the Associated Press reported.
Sean Gastonguay appeared on TruNews with Rick Wiles yesterday to discuss his plans to leave with his wife and children once again to escape what he perceives as anti-Christian persecution.

I feel badly for the kids.

Good sailors take their munchkins on long sailing cruises all the time, but they're good sailors. These screwballs are demonstrably not good sailors.
I also think it's hilarious they don't know their destination has an airport. Perhaps they find the Bernoulli principle sinful and avoid aircraft.

A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:
appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,
in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
sign an oath of renunciation
Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Americans cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States.

(32,025 posts)and STOP ANNOYING EVERYONE ELSE with their obsessions with God, gays, and abortion. STOP trashing the public schools with their calls to ban inappropriate "ANTI CHRISTIAN" books and undermine science thru "INTELLIGENT DESIGN". These f__kers have been on the wrong side of history too damn long now. FUCK OFF, FUNDIES!
