I posted this a couple of months ago. But I thought it would be good to do it again. The more liberal lurkers and other see it the better. Somebody post it on the DU board!

U.S. Liberals Debate Flight Versus Fight

Canada attracts those troubled by Republican policies, but numbers show this is no Vietnam.

Tue., Apr. 13, 2004

By Joy Lanzendorfer

AlterNet

Joanna Harmon is considering whether to leave the United States for Canada. Nik and Nancy Phelps practically have visas in hand to set up business in Belgium. Joan Magit and her husband are eyeing Vancouver. Amy Gertz moved to the United States from Canada two and a half years ago - she's now moving back.

These are scary times for progressive Americans. Many feel isolated and embarrassed by the actions of the U.S. government. Some are downright terrified at what will happen if Bush is re-elected in November. When politics get too bleak, it's comforting to remind ourselves that we can always move to another country. But how many of us are serious about it?

There's a thread farther down about how disgruntled libs trying to move to up North will have to wait out immigration regs like everyone else.

If you go to DU, tell them that Osama Bin Laden promised he wouldn't attack any state that voted against Bush. They don't have to move to Canada. California or Michigan will do. Heck. Move to Hawaii.

Great! Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Go and suck off the Canadian or European tit instead of ours. The American "hosts" in the red areas have far too many parasites to support in the blue areas as it is. Please - leave. Those of us who actually pull the wagon won't have as many blue area freeloaders to pull around.

We won't remind them of that. Or better yet maybe we can talk them into going to Cuba, since they like Castro so much. I'm sure he won't have a lot of red tape to get in.

I would leave. The modern liberal party is dead. The extreme fringe has taken the party to the far left edge with enviro-whackos, socialists, sodomites, and moral-less elite.

It is a happy day indeed. We own 53 seats in the Senate, a majority in the House, a majority of the governerships. Daschale is gone, and Bush will get at least 2 Supreme Court nominees. Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

This is the rise of the modern conservative movement.

Karl Rove is a frigging genius.

They better select flight, if they know what's good for them.

From what I heard on Fox, they were saying his GOTV/72 hour plans are what helped the most.
