Americans didn't flock to Canada after Bush win (Libs failed to keep their word!!!)
Reuters ^ | 4 Aug 2005 | David Ljunggren

Posted on 08/05/2005 11:55:20 PM PDT by JRios1968

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all.

In the days after President Bush won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north.

But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election.

That looked like Ebonics! By the way, did you hear they had to cancel a planned Miss Teen Ebonics USA pageant? They couldn't find a girl to be Miss Idaho.

With all the Cannuck bashing (and I've been part of it) I gotta say one thing.

Montreal is a pretty cool city if you're just up there for a visit.

If you're there in the winter it's got this whole underground thing where you almost never have to face the weather. Went there with an old girlfriend and it was great.

Yeah, don't mention you're not a liberal, but otherwise it's pretty cool. Reminded me of Europe a lot.

I'm a native French speaker, but don't even bother. Unless you speak "Montrealease", just speak english.

I still want to go back.

RE; Europe: Backward, gullible and innefectual?

Maybe.

However, it is the land of our forefathers, the men from whom our constitution sprung, and I spent the years 5 through 19 growing up there as an Army brat.

I'm no big fan of Europe's general socialist policies, but there is a great deal of history there.

Victor Davis Hanson prefers early Mediterranean History, and the Durants take a longer view.

History is history. There are always lessons to be learned. It always comes out the same.

I can't claim to have read it all. I do know one thing.

There are always aggressors. Bad guys need to be killed.

We are the most violent species on the planet.

Last time I checked we humans are nothing compared to the might of nature itself. How old is the world and how long have humans been around? Even if we irradiated the earth we would be gone but the earth would still be here.

Ever watch a pod of orcas gang up on a newborn whale? How about the birds that lay their eggs inside a different species' nests, and when their own eggs hatch, their hatchlings kill off the other species' own hatchlings? Ever watch an ant colony invade a weaker colony? We have nothing on Mother Nature and the violence within it. Well, we do have something on it...we actually hold ourselves back, unlike any other species.

I offered to buy a few acquaintances their one-way tickets when they told me they'd move if President Bush was re-elected. I have yet to get any takers on the offer.

Typical lib characteristic...to threaten and not follow through.

There are some solid conservatives up there too. Just not enough yet to control the govt.

They hate America and what it stands for, 'else they wouldn't hate W so viscerally.

Damn. I was really looking forward to a fire sale of homes owned by lefties fleeing north.

I wonder how many of them did some homework and realized that Canada isn't Sahngri La after all. Excessive taxation, a vastly inferior health care system, crappy weather, Canadian football and hockey fans are just some of the negatives.

****Ever watch an ant colony invade a weaker colony? We have nothing on Mother Nature and the violence within it.****

Ahhh, the sweet memories of youth.
We'd catch a Red Ant and put it on a Black Ant hill (or vice-versa) and watch the Fight To The Death with magnifying glasses 1. Pure savagery just because they were 'different' from one another. If humans acted that way there'd be nobody left.

We'd also catch a bug or ant and put it in a spiders web. That was pretty neat to watch too.

1 - That is when we weren't FRYING the ants with the magnifying glass :-)

Exactly. Because we're human, we have the capacity to ignore the instinct that drives each species to attack with a ferocity that we could never match.

Right.
I think 'jones' just misspoke on his 'most evil species' human thing. Or I hope so.

Heck, I've done it, we all do. We get on a topic, get worked up and omit a word or 'get carried away a tad'. We'll mean and be thinking one thing, but type something else or add something for emphasis in haste.

That's when he/she/it drops the gauntlet and goes from simply a "misstatement" (sp) to actual ad hominem attacks.
