If liberals don't hate America, then why are so many trying to leave it? These are scary times for progressive Americans. Many feel isolated and embarrassed by the actions of our 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
News sources from CNN to Salon.com to The Daily Show have run pieces about Americans supposedly leaving the United States for other parts of the world.
One of the reasons people are thinking of leaving the U.S. is because of a fear of fascism.
If Bush is re-elected, many plan to start the relocation process. Joan Magit, who lives in Northridge, California, says she and her husband will most likely move to Vancouver if Bush gets in.
"The damage that has been done by this administration, especially in the court system, is a lot worse than people comprehend," she says. "I don't think I will want to live in a country that is so right-wing."

Do you understand that it's the Bush administration that is making the people in the article leave. They've lived in America their entire lives, but they're just now leaving because of the Bush administration. Thay hate Bush, not America. They're anti-Bush, not anti-American. Turn off Liddy and try and let this sink in.

I knew one of you would misunderstand what I said. They're leaving on their own accord, but it's because of their dislike of the Bush administration, not America or American culture. Those people are anti-Bush, not anti-American.

apparently, some do not know how to separate the president from the nation as a whole, especially (and perhaps only) when said political leader stands on the same side of the political fence as they do.

Worst case scenario (for them) is four more years of Bush.
That's one hell of brief time period in the scheme of things, about what it takes to graduate college.
And, yet, despite the fact that Bush will be out of office in a relatively brief period of time no matter what, they want to leave America.
That would seem to point to a general dislike of the country, not the office holder.

Maybe to some people. To others, four years can be a heck of a long time. And besides, a lot can happen in that time. Heck, look at everything that's happened over the last four years.
9/11 proved the entire world can change suddenly in a single day - certainly our own country did. Who knows how it can change over four years, for better or for worse?
And another thing - there's a lot of talk that Governor Jeb Bush is being prepped for a Presidential run in 2008. For now it's just talk, as far as I know. But that may be raising some concerns.
(And speaking as a very recent college graduate - four years of college can be an eternity.  )

How does a few people leaving the country prove that all liberals without exception hate America and everything it stands for?
It'd be nice if one of the Republicans could make an effort to answer that instead of waving their potties around their heads and screaming.

Thats a bit silly, if thats there reasoning. Granted they both are Republicans but Jeb is a totally different politician. It's clear George W. governs different than his father. Of course you have to assume people that threaten to leave their country because of different politics have to be morons anyways.....

Right. All those kikes who fled Germany in the 'Thirties would have been a lot better off sticking around to get gassed.

When did I mention Bush?
Your comment was that anyone leaving a country for politic reasons is a moron: that always struck me as a pretty good example of somebody leaving a country for political reasons that weren't all that stupid.

obviously i made the mistake of thinking you had comprehension skills. to break it down for you i was replying to a post that metioned people leaving the country due to Bush's politics, and i said that was stupid. you related that to the jews and hitler, which you didnt state but being someone with comprehension skill i was able to make that distinction. i would argue that the jews left those countries because they were being murdered and not for political ideolgy, but perhaps that is beyond your grasp....

You didn't say that, then? That isn't a specific reference to Bush, just generalised and extremely vague abuse which you've used the other as an excuse for.

It seems to me, Mr. D, that Jews weren't leaving Germany because they disliked Hitlers politics so much as because they didn't want to end up on a train to Auschwitz.
That might be subtle distinction, but it's an important one. There was more than simple distate there, there was survival.
Furthermore, the liberals whining about wanting to leave the U.S. have no reasonable basis to compare Bush to Hitler. Bush has never advocated extermination of any ethnic group, including Muslims.
All he did, and continues to do, was advocate policies that approximately half of the country agree with at any given time. This is hardly the dramatic shift to the right that the anti-Bush partisans would have you think.

i said that in response to people leaving for his politics. you have to read the entire conversation not just the sound bites you want to attack. this isnt a political add where you get to use comments out of context. you busted you either a moron or use murder for political slant. im willing to bet form your posts its the moron tho.....

There was no connection made between the two points.
Attacking isolated soundbites taken out of context seems par the course for most of the political debate around here. If you find that distasteful, stop doing it yourself.
G-Man, self preservation isn't politics, true but it's been suggested that there were political reasons behind the holocaust. I'm not equating Bush with Hitler. Bush doesn't have either the wit or the charisma to get away with that sort of thing.

Tell you what: before you go calling anybody a moron tidy up your spelling and your grammar. When you use English like a Dutch backpacker who was dropped on his head as a baby, it doesn't lend your attempts to argue that other people are more stupid than you a lot of credibility.

Or maybe Europe just keeps moving further and further into socialism that National Socialism doesn't seem that extreme any more.

Isn't that the truth.
I think too many people here are confusing "government" with "country". There is a huge gulf between the two concepts.
I am currently infuriated and incensed by the actions of my country's current government. But I'm a very proud Australian.
If that meant splashing my country's flag with blood to express my anger with my government, then so be it. The government is besmirching my country's flag far worse than I ever could.

One (and I am fucking sick of having to point this out) America did not save Europe from Hitler. The Russians saved Europe from Hitler. If they had persevered with attacking us rather than invading Russia, they would have consolidated western Europe and gained a solid base from which to kick the living hell out of your sorry arses. All this "we're the reason you don't speak German" crap doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. You were too busy getting the living hell beaten out of you by the Japanese all over the Pacific to have any involvement in European theatre before the D day landings which wouldn't have happened if Germany hadn't been finished by then. A few aircrews and a loan we're still paying were far from the biggest contribution to that: five out of every seven German soldiers killed during the second world war were killed by Russians.
Two, I merely meant that Hitler could deliver a speech without looking like the biggest dickhead on Earth. Bush lacks this skill, as the number of Americans complaining about him demonstrates. Hitler killed one of my grandparents (back when Roosevelt was still kissing up to the cunt), at least by proxy, and I don't feel any nostalgia for the swine. There's elements of the American right who do, so as long as the Aryan Nation exists, shut up about the Euro Weenies.
For what it's worth, we're not Euro Weenies: our PM is sucking Bush's cock until his ears bleed and ignoring EEC directives. We didn't vote for the cunt but he's dictating our foreign policy. You could try apologising for that.
Doubtless if the Kurds had bombed the shit out of Manchester, twats like you and the arsehole with the nosepicking Simpson avatar would argue that we deserved it, which of course we would. You have no business whining about the liberal bias of European countries while they're providing you with cannon fodder to spare the chimp the PR fiasco of Americans getting killed.

Another point: National Socialism didn't have anything to do with Socialism as its practised by the more left leaning European countries (the UK isn't one). Bush's attitudes have a lot more to do with Nazism than anyone in Europe: not even Blair is that rightwing.
