That statement is patently ridiculous on its face. Kind like this famous quote:

...and other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy your evening?

Quote:
The beauty of America is you are so free you can leave if you dont like it and I invite many to take full advantage of this freedom we hold dear. I fully respect and encourage your choice to leave if you think others do it better than the United States.
This is even more ridiculous. The whole "America, Love it or Leave It" schtick. That implies that if we recognize certain aspects of our society that can and should be improved upon, we should ignore them or emigrate. Secondly, all other democracies that I'm aware of allow their citizens to emigrate if they desire (presuming off course that they get the appropriate entry papers from their new homeland).
