In that same piece Tico, here is this:
THEY ALWAYS COME BACK
Leftist liberals always announce that if a Republican is elected president of the United States, they're leaving the country. Then when said Republican is elected or re-elected, they always manage to stay. The reason? The United States is the best damn country in the world, and they know it. Where else will people pay them millions of dollars to entertain us, in spite of their extreme political views?
So anyway, news of a different sort out of the entertainment world yesterday. This time coming from rock singer Alanis Morissette. First though, a little background. In April of 2004, speaking at the Canadian Juno awards. Morissette had this to say about the United States: "We live in a land (Canada) where we still think the human body is beautiful and we're not afraid of the female breast." (Take a gander at her outfit. Warning for those at work: it's a nude suit) She was, of course, criticizing all of the uproar over Janet Jackson's Super Bowl flash. She also complained about a US radio station that made her change some of the naughty lyrics in one of her songs, saying: "They're in an era when they're scared, when there's lots of fear." Sounds like Ms. Morissette doesn't like the United States very much.
Now flash-forward back to today. Last week, she took the oath of citizenship in Los Angeles and is now an American citizen. Speaking of the honor, she said "There was a turning point during the ceremony where I felt connected to this country in a way that I didn't quite expect. America has been really great to me and I have felt welcomed since the day I came here."
They always come back.
