LOL!

I think most folks know that you are taking that statement out of context.

Absolutely!! People talking about wanting to leave America get under my skin fast. If you're a true patriot and a true American you'll stay and fight for the America you believe in(even if that's polar opposite of the current leadership) no matter what it takes.

Valient men and women died on battlefields from Concord to Iraq, and the political process doesn't go their way so they get their undies in a wad and think it's time to leave.

Head out tomorrow would be my advice!

True, however doesn't it seem that we are headed in that direction?

One of the interesting points is that they state in another forum on this issue that no one keeps track of US citizens that desire to leave. The numbers could be greater than thought.

One place mentioned one family ever 54 seconds.
I'd be happy to start there, but the article you provided is a.) written when GWB was President and b.) clearly states that the reason most of the people left at the writing of this article wasn't for political reasons.

"And while a high percentage of expats are unhappy with the rightward tilt of George Bush's America, most don't see their decision to move overseas as a political statement."

Again, I highly doubt your claim that there are large numbers of people leaving the country because BO is President. I don't believe you can support that with facts.

Oh yeah, just like a true liberal, Blame everything on a Conservative President!

Slam Bush, go ahead!

He is not in office anymore! Nothing can be blamed on him now!

It is ALLLLLLLL Obama's fault!

Everything can and will be held against him in the court of the conservative!

:/ As it should be. But I guess you learned a little something from ole GW's playbook. If you can't find evidence, cite a few documents that sound like what you are wanting and hope no one ever looks at them. I mean seriously? You cited a document that wasn't even about Obama but was about Bush, you cited a document that reaches the opposite conclusion that you do. Seriously?

Bash Obama all you want... it's fun to bash the president I know, I used to bash Bush all the time. But at least do it without citing documents that actually support the other sides position.

Bash him every chance I get!

But to his credit, from henceforth and hereafter, in tribute to the late EB, I will follow all my Bashing with, In Jesus Name!

Then I can also call it a prayer!

Obama is a Facist Communist Nazi, who is totally destroying the nation, stealing everything from everybody, but....

We pray for him,

In Jesus Name!

That's not GWs playbook. The sad thing is how polarized Americans have become. That's EVERY presidents playbook. That's every politicians play book with few exceptions.

It won't be hard to find documentation citing Obama's anti-war platform and now he is sending MORE troops despite protests from some of his anti-war left leaning supporters.

It won't be hard to find documentation where under Obama our debt increased in one year exponentially more than it did under Bush.

Further under Bush our economy really was not solely his doing. See to the Left leaning supporters of Obama that ran Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac into the ground while making a huge profit themselves supported by the likes of Barney Franks and Maxine Waters.

Democrat and Republicans are both to blame. I get turned off big time when I see one side or the other trying to deflect their own sad efforts by pointing fingers at some other group. In this case the other group is "the former administration put this in my lap".

So,

What exactly are you trying to say?


Who are you for?

Pick a side, you straddle the fence then BOTH sides get to shoot you!
