Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Canerican.
What’s the story behind your name? I was born Canada, and I moved to the US about three years ago, Canerican seemed like a logical combination of the two.
Where do you live? Amherst, NY (which is proudly one of the only places in NY to vote for President Bush in 2000 and 2004)
How old are you? 19
Tell us briefly about yourself. Well, I was born near Montreal, which is possibly the most Liberal city in North America next to Havana. After 17 years of hearing about how bad America was I decided I needed to move there! I graduated high school in NY, and am now attending the University at Buffalo. I have literally
infiltrated two of the biggest Liberal bases! I am hoping that when I graduate that I can move down South (maybe Virginia or the Carolinas), New York may be Conservative compared to Canada, but I want to live in a place where Hillary Clinton wouldn’t stand a hope of getting elected.
How long have you been reading IMAO? I’d say about a year, I actually starting reading when you guest blogged for RWN.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? There are so many great ones, maybe “Hillary Clinton is the only Presidential candidate mention in the book of Revelations.” (my Dad is a minister and I wanted him to quote that before his sermon, but he wouldn’t) – probably the one about Ron Paul channeling the ant overlords (I showed that to anyone who would listen, until an angry mod of Paulians smashed my computer)
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Hilarious. Manly. Sledgehammer.
What’s your favorite political issue? I really think that killing the terrorists is important to America, or at least making sure that they don’t kill us. I think that the economy is also a biggie in my books, as is illegal immigration.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Nope, I leave that up to the experts! But I do moderate a forum called vdrums.com
What’s your opinion on the hippie problem? I think it is self regulating problem (see the links below), if Fred Thompson wins in ’08 we won’t even need to wait for California to float away.

If you commented in the last post asking for entrants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
I live in the Carolinas, and this is one Canadian I’d be proud to have as a neighbor. Come on down.
Lol this is like the canadian version of my life.
It’s a small world after all-UB student here! Do you go to the college republicans?
In a post-Romney world, any discussion of illegal immigration in the negative has to be followed up with “But I support legal immigration!!!!111”
@ waltdisney
No I don’t but I was talking to someone about going this semester. So you’ll probably see me there.
And I only support the legal type of immigration. It really gets me when people say that someone who snuck over the border has more rights than I, who spent lots of time and money to get into this amazing country.

There have been rumors for decades that my paternal Grandmother was an illegal from Canada. Luckily she found Grandfather.
Pick me next, please!!
Come to Indiana, I don’t think anyone can remember the last time we did not vote for the Republican candidate for president.
I just escaped Upstate NY for the safe confines of KY. However if you look at a map that shows the counties that voted for Bush in red, you realize that most of upstate and western NY went for Bush. we are just outnumbered by nutjobs in the NYC and Albany area. most of the blue counties are where there are colleges, Cornell for example. Albany because it is full of college types and state workers.
I honestly think that if NYC became its own district, like DC, NY would become a battleground state.
agreed! I worked just outside of Schenectady and all the guys in the plant had NRA bumper stickers on their trucks.

Illinois would be the same way if we kicked Chicago out, or probably become a perennial Red State.
