"We can hope that the fruits who are obsessed with getting "married" will stream across the border to Canaduh ..."

Based upon history, this is a very perceptive hope - although perhaps more than a little self-serving.

Those quick to condemn Canada's steady march to the left on a host of both social and political issues should bear in mind that, a very significant contributing factor to same was the influx of U.S. draft evaders and military deserters received in the late 60's and early 70's. Many of whom, like their fellow travelers who remained stateside, intentionally wormed their way into culturally sensitive areas like the media and academia wherein they could quite easily and very effectively promote their radical agenda.

While it's easy to say in hindsight that more resistance should have been offered in the face of this "foreign" socialist onslaught, obviously it wasn't and it's much like observing that in a perfect America the Clintons never would have made it past their first term.

Just as the war on terror demands international (and especially continental) solutions, it's best that decent, freedom-loving people on both sides of the border don't engaged in counter-productive sniping at each other and instead view the current sorry situation in Canada as a sad and hopefully temporary cautionary example.

You're right, but overall, my take on it is that if we cannot eradicate the poison of the Left, the only solution is to contain it somewhere.

I'm not intent on picking on Canada, either - while I find Canadian politics repulsive, as with most Socialist governments, I would be just as happy to see leftists streaming over the border of Oregon into Commufornia - and I get the same reaction from the two or three conservatives left in Commufornia, as I do from you.

The idea of Balkanizing the North American continent is repulsive also... but not nearly as repulsive as a leftist living in my own neighborhood. It's a case of "pick your poison".

In fact, if the Left manages to tighten its stranglehold on Oregon much more, *I* may be forced to leave here, abandoning all of my plans for the future, and move to Wyoming or Alaska or Idaho. This upcoming election could very well be what decides my future in that regard.

If things don't go right, rather than seen the Left flee for Socialist bugholes, we may end up being the ones forced to flee, or live under the tyranny of the Kerry/Clinton/Fiendswine socialists - and end up like Canada. Unfortunately for the three Conservatives left in Canada (of whom I take it you are one), that means we will rejoice to see our loony Left leave the U.S. for anywhere but here.
