The US is looking more and more like a banana republic when people are jailed and prosecuted for criticizing the government.

That is because we are now a banana republic.

It IS a banana republic, and has been for a while. If you don't believe me, just wait to see what's next coming down the road

. America -- a great idea, didn't last.

You're right ... except that the US has to import bananas.

This Napolitano woman ~ is anyone aware ~ is she keeping on top of things when it comes to her personal hygiene?

Failure to keep yourself clean is frequently symptomatic of severe disorientation ~ possibly even brain damage.

This woman is already into the "blue glove" thing!

I'm broaching a touchy subject here, but if this goes on Canada may serve as a haven.

I know about Canada harbouring draft dodgers 'way back when, and I'm aware that I'm alluding to something that sets most everyone's teeth on edge, but Canada has had no Third-Worldesque crackdown of that sort. Security is reasonable; there's no security theatre. There's never been a successful terrorist attack on Canada's soil. There was a terrorist plot in my home town of Toronto in '06, but it was foiled.

The most Freeper-friendly province in Canada is Alberta. They don't go much for hippies there.
