Maybe There Won't Always Be a France

A 2008 Reader's Digest poll from during the U.S. Presidential campaign found that:
52% of respondents in France would be interested in moving to America if economic and political barriers were non-existent.
Especially interesting, given that Hollywood celebs always threaten to go there.

Emigration from western Europe isn't spoken about much. Brussels Journal carries news of it. New Zealand, Australia, and Canada are favored a bit ahead of us. But those are Anglospheric countries as well.

I thought when all the people from Massachusetts moved up here it wouldn't change things politically because they would be the ones who "got it." I was dead wrong.

Yeah, I hear the same thing is/has been happening in Nevada -- all the geniuses leaving Cali to get away from all the regulatory BS and the taxes just vote for more regulation and taxes as residents of Nevada.

As with the whole Pedophilia thing (a piece to come, BTW), there is just something really, really WRONG with the libtard mental structure.

Doh.

My own take is that we should ship all the Hollywood types to France, esp. if they ever threatened to go there, then cancel their passports so they can't come back -- and require a common sense small government low regulation test against any frogs that want to come here. Pass it, you're welcome to come. If not, stay where you can do the most good -- screwing up the French nation.
