Americans just don't know what their country is doing.

I know most DUrs believe any American who leaves the USA to live outside of the US is a traitor and doing so for only tax reasons.

HOW WRONG!!!!!!

How exceptional thinking. You should believe these are regular people who fall in love, get a job and fall in love with the country they are working at or fall in love with an non American or just happen to have been born in the USA when mommy and daddy were working or going to school. And they go home with Mommy and Daddy and never return to the USA.

It is time to realize there are other countries in this world where people living there believe where they are living is the best place to live.

There are actually two women in Canada who are taking a stand and will not let Harper be the IRS bag man. You know I believe they will win this court challenge.

I leave you with one of my favorite songs . It was sung 45 years ago....which was my anniversary arriving in Canada. What an era,
assassinations, riots, war, drugs, and the music!!!!

It is hard to believe they are still fighting for freedom after all these decades.

If someone looking at a group sees and says this then this is true. Saying most is where I would disagree. The active posts here are from a very small portion of the group total. I could agree that most of the posts you (emphasis you) choose to look at could make you believe that MOST feel that way.
