(9,933 posts)or, get this.....Puerto Rico. (Not really an escape, huh?) He has been threatening to immigrate since our president was sworn in. Which is ironic given his predilection for griping about immigrants.
Yes, he's a FOX fed fool.

(14,378 posts)No pesky government to tell them they can't pollute their private property! No Regulations against assault weapons! No pesky infrastructure to bleed tax dollars from them.
Ron Paul would fit right in

(11,175 posts)I looked into it after the 2004 election. I don't think I really would have gone but, even if the inquiry was just acting out, it made me feel better.

(14,047 posts)All GOP voters are urged to board the "B Ark" and get out BEFORE the election.
Or go form a free-market cargo cult on a remote island. You can even call it Galtland. Make sure that you don't have any kind of government regulations - like silly prohibitions on cannibalism.

Perhaps a modified plan that launches them into the sun or burns them up in the atmosphere would work.

Lived there summer of 1972, really loved it. Often wished I had not moved back.
Canada has a real economy - ours is now based on bailing out bankers and perpetual war, war, war.

(28,151 posts)Have family in Canada. I was amused to see so often a selling point for many homes (I was looking at real estate) was "Close to ice rink!"
It would be hilarious if wingers threatened to go there.
