Liberals Attempting to Escape to Canada Will Be Shot on Sight!

Landover Deacons Join Hunt for Liberals Crossing Canadian Border


Freehold, Iowa - After being duly deputized by longtime silver-level
tither,
John Brown -- regional INS director sitting in Des Moines -- 75 Landover
Baptist Church deacons took up posts along the U.S.-Canadian border less
than three weeks ago. "We weren't about to let none of them weak-kneed,
Blue-State liberals leave this country, especially with tax time right
around the corner," reported Pastor Hawkin

Penny-wise and Pound-foolish. Let the libs leave America whenever possible.
Libs (and RINO's) would be so much happier in their natural habitat,
socialist Canada or Europe, and there'll be lower taxes for the rest of us
after the libs are safely off to Canuckistan or Eurabia.

Libs “save money” by cutting and gutting military jobs and military
research, but they don’t really save money, because they spend twice as
much on government welfare programs--bottomless rat holes, designed to make
tax money disappear into the big Democrat-run cities. Don't stand in their
way when they want to leave the US. Good riddance.

N.Y.: UN-FREE

January 8, 2005 -- MIRED in recession in 2003, New York State raised taxes
by $5.4 billion-and that came on top of a $1.8 billion New York City tax
hike, described by Mayor Bloomberg as part of the cost of doing business in
a "premium" place like Gotham. Meanwhile, Kansas got through its recession-
induced budget woes without raising taxes; instead, it cut spending and
passed productivity reforms that saved $1 billion.

The stark contrast between those two budgetary approaches helps explain why
a new Pacific Research Institute and Forbes magazine survey praises Kansas
as the state with the nation's best business climate and rates "premium"
New York as the worst.

The study measured the "economic freedom" of states, defined as "the right
of an individual to keep what he earns, produce what he wants, and compete
in . . . markets of his choosing." The economies of freer states prosper
from the choices that individuals and businesses make with their own money;
economically unfree states turn more money over to the government, which
invariably uses it less efficiently and productively than the market does.

New York scored at or near the bottom in almost every one of the study's
indicators of economic freedom. It has the biggest government and spends
the most on welfare programs of any state, for instance - largesse it
supports by levying sky-high taxes. It also has one of the most highly
regulated business environments in the U.S.

The overall result is an "oppression tax," the researchers say, that
reduces New Yorkers' earning power by about $2,400 per capita annually - a
$45 billion annual penalty to the state economy.

Less economic freedom means fewer jobs. Since the late 1950s, when it
embarked on its big-government path, New York has consistently lagged
behind the national economy and the economies of fast-growing states like
Kansas in producing new employment (Kansas's rate of job growth has nearly
tripled New York's).

If its economy had grown at merely the national average over that period,
New York would have roughly 4.5 million more jobs than it does today.

The only consolation New Yorkers can take from the study is that nearby
states are just as toxic to business. Joining the Empire State near the
bottom of the freedom index are Connecticut (48), Pennsylvania (45), New
Jersey (42), and Massachusetts (41).

Revealingly, a map of the U.S. color-coded by how states rank in economic
freedom would look much like today's political map. The blue states that
went heavily Democratic - in the Northeast, industrial Midwest and
California - all score low on economic freedom. The red states of the South
and the Central Plains rank highest.

People and businesses have been fleeing the blue states for economically
freer climes, leading to lost congressional seats.

The two bottom states on the economic-freedom index, New York and
California, also showed the greatest net loss of domestic residents in the
last census. As long as people can pursue their economic interests by going
where the opportunity is, that drain will continue.




, as he raised the scope on his
high-powered AR-15 assault rifle from his post behind a clearing in a
North
Dakota forest. "Last week, I unloaded a half pound of lead into the hineys
of two long-haired varmints running through the woods. It was sheer bad
luck
they turned out to be ugly Canadian farm women. Oh well, no real loss to
either country." The pastors were reacting to reports of a mass exodus of
anti-Bush (anti-American, anti-Christian) citizens across the Canadian
border. With Canada's immigration service overwhelmed by applications of
Americans seeking asylum since November 2nd, many traitors have attempted
to
covertly slip into the country. "So long as I have one index finger that
can
squeeze a trigger, no Communist is gittin' by me," railed Pastor Coleman
from his post on a hill in northern Minnesota.

Unofficial reports cite at least 75 prevented border crossings in the
brief
period the church has assisted the immigration agency. Reverend Shortland
set up an informal roadblock on Interstate-75 in Michigan. "A few
questions
usually reveal whether these folks are legitimate tourists or Bush-
dodgers.
I intercepted one family last week in a BMW with their radio tuned to NPR.
The parents were drinking from Starbuck's cups and both teenagers in the
back were reading books, neither of which had "Holy" or "Bible" imprinted
anywhere on the cover, as far as I could tell." The reverend called ahead
to
the border patrol checkpoint where agents conducted full vehicle and body
cavity searches. After discovering a copy of GMAT test results, two museum
ticket stubs and an 401k portfolio receipt, agents turned the vehicle
around
and the family was escorted to a holding cell near Detroit. Pastor
Skipwell
successfully uncovered what can only be described as a contemporary
underground railroad just outside Detroit. "A bunch of coloreds were
sending
hordes of unemployed auto workers in tunnels to the demonic north. I
emptied
my semi-automatic weapon at them, and the activity stopped, but I have no
idea whether I actually killed anyone or just shot the night."

Not all church members support the deacons' actions. "I think it is a
colossal waste of time," observed Brother Harry Hardwick, Chair of the
Board
of Deacons. "Tracking down liberals is like trapping rats in Harlem. For
every one you catch, there are a thousand that squeak away. And why do we
care if they leave? So what if many pay the taxes that pay for the
programs
benefiting the rest of us, like those Godly farm supports Iowa corn
farmers
get? We don't need the money. President Bush has shown his commitment to
maintaining all the pork programs while massively expanding military
spending without raising a single dime in taxes. Since he's already run a
higher deficit than any President in history, what difference will a few
trillion additional dollars make?

Despite the initial success of the program, the deacons may be returning
home soon because the White House has condemned their actions as
unauthorized. An administration official, speaking on condition of
anonymity, claimed the President's latest position is not his typical
boilerplate appeal to whatever is the prevailing popular sentiment, but is
instead the product of a genuine desire to allow as many Democratic voters
as possible to leave the country before the mid-term Congressional
elections.
