Some of the best Americans, aren't

*sigh* God life is so unfair!!!

When the going gets tough, Liberals bail

The Lone (Conservative) Atheist  brought this to our attention in a comment.  The ABC news story notes: "Those who are coming have the highest level of education — these aren't people who can't get a job in the states," he says. "They're coming because many of them don't like the politics, the Iraq War and the security situation in the U.S. By comparison, Canada is a tension-free place. People feel safer."  The underlying tone of which is, "smart people hate fascist Bush, dumb ones stay."  One erstwhile labor organizer from Seattle explains: "Canada is a really nice country. My mother is thinking about it. My stepfather has diabetes and has health issues. So, he'd be taken care of for free if he moved up here." Of course most of us are glad to be rid of twits like this.  I would gladly exchange a hard working legal Mexican immigrant on a one-to-one basis with all of them.  I mean that, they'll be better Americans.  But that's not what this is about.  There are several hundred comments on this story.  Here's one from  puppyfeet217 that touched my soul. “ In Response To: O, Canada! More Americans Heading North Now I'm heading to my nice Canadian socialist bed, where I'll dream of my nice socialist healthcare system that has -- surprisingly -- kept myself and my family in amazingly good health considering we have to wait in line 8 years just to get a sliver pulled out of our thumb and I'll get up tomorrow and go pay $4. per litre for gas on the way to my job where I have to work 70 hours per week just to pay the 65% tax rate that we Canadians are burdened with. All the while, bemoaning the fact that I am SO jealous of Americans and the fact that the States is the ONLY country in the entire world where you can make something of yourself, which is why all other countries around the globe have nothing but abject poverty and squalor. *sigh* God life is so unfair!!!Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light......
