In high school, many decades ago, I had an American
Government teacher who was very liberal. I think she was a socialist. After
Richard Nixon was elected my teacher decided that the America was finally going
down the tubes and arranged to emigrate to New Zealand.
I went to the Port of Los Angeles one summer day to see her
and her family off. She was going via steamer. It was the one and only time in
my life that I paid attention to the call “All ashore that’s going ashore” and
then threw streamers across to my teacher’s family as a last farewell.
History repeats itself, it seems, because we are now hearing
that tea baggers are making noise that they need to leave the country now that
Barack Obama has won another term in office.
Four more years of Barack Obama is too much for them to take
so they are now talking of leaving.
So I just wanted to provide a public service to those who
are itching to leave this Obamanation for greener pastures and a taxless
society.
Preferably where they speak English, because, you know… they
have that thing about the English language.
Be prepared to stand in line though. Australia and New
Zealand don’t take just anyone. They want people with skills that don’t include
whining.
Want to emigrate
to New Zealand? Sheep will outnumber you, and I don’t mean the two-legged
kind that you are most familiar with.
But beware. New Zealand and Australia might just have some
of the things that you are running away from in the Obamanation.

Any folks on my side of the aisle who say they are leaving America because Obama won are welcome to leave -- and I hope they renounce their citizenship before the next election. I neither want nor need them in my country nor my party.
For what it is worth, only fully and semi automatic assault rifles are banned in Australia. Many farmers have guns and there are many gun clubs. In Australia we don't yet feel the need to won a gun let alone carry one in public which I'm thankful for.
