Do you have to sneak over like an illegal alien or is it more like escaping like Cuba?

Found another one that I can identify with..

The New Me

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist and responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan and support myself.

I went to HS and have held a job and am here not because I earned it but because I was advantaged

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobic.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast NRA gun lobby.

I am older than 55 and retired, which makes me a useless old man who doesn’t understand Facebook.

I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing, cop killing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I believe that our system guarantees of freedom of effort – not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a a borderline sociopath

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly so I stand and salute during our National Anthem which takes me back to where I started – I must be a racist

Please help me come to terms with the new me… because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

"News Update from Canada The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear they'll soon be required to pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution. Canadian border residents say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and "green" energy proponents crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. "He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay." In an effort to stop the illegals, Greenfield erected a high fence, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just stuck their fingers in their ears and kept coming. Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals just south of the border, take their money, pack them into cars, and drive them across the border, where they are simply left to fend for themselves. "A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Alberta border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier water, or any gemelli with shrimp and arugula. All they had was a nice little Napa Valley cabernet and some kale chips. When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing that they fear persecution from Trump's lunatics. Rumors are circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer, study the Constitution, and find jobs that actually contribute to the economy. In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the 50s.. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age," an official said. Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, are buying up all the Barbara Streisand CD's, and are overloading the internet while downloading jazzercise apps to their cell phones. "I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "After all, how many art-history majors does one country need."

Very well stated!! I do think you may have forgotten one though....as you and I go into our retirement we are supposed to graciously give up some of our money we have saved and put aside for our retirement years for those who failed to put anything away. Oh that's right, I almost forgot it isn't our money it is the governments money called "social security" and it is our entitlement money we are getting. Shame on us for expecting to get back what we put into the system!

Yep I put in 49 yrs myself and the wife another 25 yrs. Ole Slick ***** Clinton convinced congress to roll the soc sec into the general fund to make the fed budget appear to be balanced. With all that extra money in there congress and the libs have been having a hayday with it and spent an extra 20 trillion to boot!! It is hilarious to see Obama saying that he could have won if he had a third term....the libs lost more than 1000 seats in gov't during Obama's 8 yrs and they still don't get it !!

Maybe the Canadians will get lucky and the American liberals that flee there will be eaten by bears. Not much nutrition though because they're so full of $h!t.
