Here’s an interesting passage I found on another board, and the person uttering this phrase has become, shall we say, disillusioned with the United States:

I have been very close to breaking up with the United States. I have been having an affaire du coeur with Canada for years now. shhh, don’t tell America. I’m hoping America will get back into shape (I mean God, not to be shallow, but he’s grown quite the beer belly on a Republican diet), and maybe even start listening to me again. America and I haven’t been communicating well, you see. Canada is beautiful, and he understands me. But I’m willing to give America another chance, because I’m loyal like that.

And what a great choice of words there (which I’ve taken the liberty to emphasize), because America under a Democrat Diet will become emaciated. Hope you like being a Grit, eh.

If these people think socialism is such a good thing they should come to Britain and see it in action first hand. The watered down version in Canada is like comparing beer to whisky.

Well hey ... I think it’s terribly big of him (her?) whoever, to give America another chance.

I suppose by “communicating” they mean all on one side.  Nuther words, hear only what they wanna hear and ignore the rest.  My gosh, is my MIL posting here?

peiper

I can grok this guy; between the idiot Congress and the idiot in the White House, there are many more people than this guy who are disillusioned. I’d rather stay here than get away from my family. (Actually, I thought New Zealand, but that’s waaaay too far!)

[Snicker] No Peiper, this isn’t your mother-in-law!
Grok, you say Norm....heh! Good choice of word there! [Snicker]
