So you know how dejected liberals threatened after 2000 and 2004 to "move to Canada" to be in more ideologically friendly territory? I wasn't with that crowd, of course. I wasn't about to give up on this great nation of ours.
But that has long had me thinking: where would conservatives go if they wanted to escape this horrible SOCIALIST America, what with the 39 percent top rate and HEALTH CARE for all (assuming we ever get it)?
Iran? They'd love the theocracy, with a bona fide morality police to beat the crap out of non-believers! But the country worships the wrong god. So close...
Russia? It's got the oligarchy thing that conservatives love, plus a war-mongering leadership that dreams of empire. Too bad they don't speak American, or even use American letters in their alphabet!
Singapore? Unfettered capitalism, English as an official language, and a caning if you chew gum on the streets. Oh, and jail if you get caught being gay. It's conservative nirvana! Well, except that people are Asian. If only they'd be whiter.
Dubai? A playground for the rich, but with the oppressive hand of religion to stamp out all fun. Still the wrong god, though.
Any other suggestions?
