We can only hope that liberals will leave the nation. The question is - who would take them?

So people who disagree with your politics "hate" you, huh?

And when they point out fallacies in your politics they are "spewing hatred"?

Grow a backbone if you are going to log onto a forum about political controversy.

I have found that anyplace I would want to live is too expensive or, in the case of Scandinavia or Canada, too cold.

In other words, you don't hate America as much as your Progressive Ideals would make you believe you do.

I do not HATE Americal AT ALL. I despise the businessmen and their political pogues running it into the ground. They are the source of my frustration with this country. I want a place with unlimited opportunity with the base security of Scandanivia.
