Some Say U.S. No Longer Feels Like Home
With Bush’s Re-Election, Foreign Countries Look Better to Them
By DEAN SCHABNER 
Leora Dowling and her husband thought returning from deep in "red"
America to her native New England would make them feel more
comfortable, more like the people around them shared their values.
Since the election, she’s been contemplating another move. To Italy."After the election, my husband and I asked ourselves, ‘How could our
country be heading backward? How could so many people miss or choose to
ignore the obvious failures of the Bush administration?’" the former
Florida resident said.
I was going to just toss out a blanket statement that these people
are all idiots. But, then they throw in this last line to mess me up:
He said America’s schools fail children by not teaching subjects like
philosophy and civics, subjects that he said would give Americans not
only a deeper understanding of the world, but an appreciation for why
they should be more actively involved in the political process, not
only voting but staying informed.He also criticized the media, and television in particular, for the way news is covered.
Wow, kindred spirit? Well, he said he was leaving anyway. He
doesn’t like our schools, and doesn’t trust the media, so he’s moving
to a country with state controlled media. He’s an idiot too.
Conservatives and moderates suffered eight years of Clinton’s
"regime" without bailing out and fleeing. What happened is they got
their troops together and elected someone they were comfortable with.
The liberals lose a couple of elections and they just want to cut and
run. If that’s as deep as their loyalties lie for the US, then go.
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt.
