I guess if your going to write a full on propaganda piece like this article is, a vet would be the one to use as your example for the most emotional response possible. How can it be confirmed that there was even a guy named Christopher Key in nam, let alone confirm he was disgruntled enough to move based on the fact that bushy was re-elected? This story smells like shit, bullshit to be exact. It's a promotion to get more people to leave, and to get people to visit a canadian government web site.

You know, this may be part of what Dana's been talking about. Perception management on a large scale. They want us to think people are leaving the US in droves because of tyranny, when really it is the sore loser effect that is motivating the few, if there really is any at all, that are fleeing bushy. Hell, by the time they get through the paper work to move, there will be another liberal in the white house anyway. What then? Will they flock back home to be back in the country they fought for if we do get another liberal prez, or are they gone for good to the frozen tundra and soggy coasts of Canada? I wonder how many will fail and have to come crawling back to the US to survive?

Howdy and good mornin LT,

Your response is excellent and hits the nail on the head. Like you said,by the time they wade through all the paper-work,there will probably be another liberal in the White House..God have mercy on us all-if it winds up being Hitlery the Hildabeast.

Some folks replied to this article at FreeRepublic,that it might be a good idea,that those who leave,must never be allowed to return or draw any goverment benefits..what say you ?

I don't hate Canada and I like almost all Canadians I meet here and over at MariHemp..I would like to visit Canada..but I dang sure ain't gonna move there because I don't like who's in the Oval Office..even if it winds up with Hitlery in there,I'd rather stay and fight.

I believe that you're probably right,about perception management on a large scale..it's done by both sides and the best way to fight it-is to keep informed.

Have a good one....Torog
