'I'll Quit US If McCain Gets In'

by Jon Bennett - August 30th, 2008 - Sky News (London)

Asked what he felt it would mean for America if McCain wins the election, Stipe smiled and said: "Well I'd have to move to England" . . .

"It is unfathomable to me as an American and a world citizen that anyone would vote for that man," he said.

Here we go again. Every election there is a parade of left wing extremists, theoretically American, who parade around the world insisting that anyone but the Democrat candidate getting elected would require them to "leave America". They always say these things overseas, I assume so that their hatred for their country will not become common knowledge, yet they are never embarrassed when it gets back to the American people.

I wonder if they ever think about the fact that conservatives NEVER plan to leave America just because a liberal gets elected? Do they think that means we do not hate and despise liberal tyranny? Do liberals never consider that conservatives love our country so much that threatening to leave it just never crosses our minds? When we vent our hatred for an ideology that we see as traitorous to the idea of individual liberty, do they never consider that our denunciation of their acts and positions as treason are because of the number of their fellow travellers who say things like this lead singer for REM has said?

Liberals constantly demand that conservatives not call them traitors, even when we haven't done so. Maybe they react that way because they are surrounded by friends who are traitors to our nation and the guilt is simply too much.
