The re-election of President Bush<br \/>\nis prompting the exodus among Left-leaning citizens who fear they&#8217;ll<br \/>\nsoon be required to hunt, pray&nbsp; and agree with Bill O&#8217;Reilly. <\/p>\n<p>Canadian<br \/>\nborder farmers say its not uncommon to see dozens of sociology<br \/>\nprofessors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their<br \/>\nfields at night.<br \/>\n&#8220;I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood<br \/>\nproducer huddled in the barn,&#8221; said Manitoba farmer Red<br \/>\nGreenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. &#8220;The producer was cold,<br \/>\nexhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some<br \/>\nfree-range chicken. When I said I didn&#8217;t have any, he left. Didn&#8217;t even<br \/>\nget a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In an effort to stop the<br \/>\nillegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences but the liberals<br \/>\nscaled<br \/>\nthem. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across<br \/>\nthe fields. &#8220;Not real effective,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The liberals still<br \/>\ngot through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn&#8217;t give<br \/>\nmilk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near<br \/>\nthe Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them<br \/>\nacross the border and leave them to fend for themselves. &#8220;A lot of these<br \/>\npeople are not prepared for rugged conditions,&#8221; an Ontario border<br \/>\npatrolman said. &#8220;I found one carload without a drop of drinking water.<br \/>\nThey<br \/>\ndid have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>When liberals<br \/>\nare caught, they&#8217;re sent back across the border, often wailing loudly<br \/>\nthat they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been<br \/>\ncirculating about the Bush administration establishing re-education<br \/>\ncamps in<br \/>\nwhich liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR. <\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\nthe days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes<br \/>\ningenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as<br \/>\nsenior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs.<br \/>\nAfter catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs,<br \/>\nCanadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the<br \/>\nsupposed senior-citizen passengers. &#8220;If they can&#8217;t identify the<br \/>\naccordion<br \/>\nplayer on The Lawrence Welk&nbsp; Show, we get suspicious about their age,&#8221;<br \/>\nan official said. <\/p>\n<p>Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are<br \/>\ncreating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan<br \/>\nSarandon movies. &#8220;I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian<br \/>\neconomy just can&#8217;t support them,&#8221; an Ottawa resident said.&nbsp;<br \/>\n&#8220;How many art-history majors does one country need?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In an effort to<br \/>\nease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice-President Dick<br \/>\nCheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the<br \/>\nadministration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close<br \/>\nto Cheney said. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to have some Peter, Paul &amp; Mary<br \/>\nconcerts.<br \/>\nAnd we might put some endangered species on postage stamps.
