See ya, wouldn't want to be ya

The Urban Grind covers a bizarre story, originally found here , that talks about Jewish Americans leaving U.S soil to move to, wait for it........Germany.
Article 116 of the 1949 German Constitution established a “right of return” for Jews who fled between 1933 and 1945, and their descendants. In 2002, the consulate in Manhattan processed only twenty Article 116 applications for citizenship. This year, “we had that many in one month,” says Friedo Sielemann, the consulate’s director of legal affairs. <


Hmmmm, o.k, fleeing might be the wrong word, roughly that's about 240 a year that have an "interest" in leaving.

Of the whopping 3 people interviewed in this article, 2 of them want to go to Europe for personal reasons, nothing to do with G.W.B. The other clown interviewed had this to say,

“There are ways in which one can describe the U.S. as a fascist country,” says Michael Ochs, a retired editor whose family left Germany in 1939, when he was 2. He’s gathered up the necessary documents—including his old German passport, stamped with a large, red J—though he has no intention of moving back right away. He views it more as a precaution: “It’s very Jewish to want to know where the exit is.”


It's very Jewish to want to know where the exit is? I'd say that's more of a French trait. And as for the statement that there are ways in which one can describe the U.S as a fascist country, wait until you get to Germany, Michael.
