I haven't made Trump the victim, I've stated that the Girl Guide media rep is taking a political stance - which she clearly is. Look at her history and her experience, she's a professional and knows exactly what angle she's taking. Do you disagree that making a press statement against Trump is a political statement. Seriously dude, your posts are looking more like Bubbers and Impact's every day - pull yourself together, you're a mod, not a troll.

Agreed...the ban is temporary for better vetting. They ignore that part for obvious reasons.

You still don't get it. No point

The media has already painted the picture of poor innocent Girl Guides being frisked and rejected at the border. No need for an actual event...

The cookie IS the weed....

That would be a tad like the Nuns in a bus scene at the US/Mexican border in Cheech y Chong's Up In Smoke.

Not gonna dig it up now but every time I've looked into this in the past, as far as I could tell, the real amount of stuff really manufactured in the US by reasonable definitions has been going up, not down. Keep in mind, although the value of manufactured goods in that graph has gone up by a factor of 5 over 70 years, the economy has grown by a factor of 10 over that same time. So as a share of the economy, manufacturing has been cut in half. That contributes to the sense that manufacturing is on the decline (as does the drop in the number of manufacturing jobs). But overall, more stuff is really being made.

Be sure to let him know you're a Canadian.

Email Trump...tell him you're not pleased with his military spending. Until then...

I suppose when my opponents have nothing remaining with which to defend Islam, personal attacks are all that they have left.

Comparing what the US spends to what others spend is a mugs game since spending doesn't translate to actual military power. Russia and China and North Korea and just about every other non-European country spend way, way less on salaries and benefits for the soldiers they draft. That gives them a lot more bang for the buck. Most of the money the US (and Canada) spends on its military is for salaries and benefits.

Famous last words.

At the start of WW2, the USA's main daylight single seat Navy fighter was the Brewster Buffalo. They were shot down in DROVES by the far superior Japanese Zeros and Oscars. Those Army Air Corp types lucky enough to have the P-40 still had a machine totally outclassed by the Japanese...but at least in a dive, they could run away. I doubt that situation should be repeated...in a modern form.

The problem with home grown IMO is immigrants that will not let their canadian born kids become canadian. Always holding the old ways over thier heads. When a young man can't go out and get drunk and stoned and have casual sex, you are going to become a very angry young man.

Everybody who doesn't want to submit to the cult of Islam is an Islamophobe.

"Mohammed knew that most people are terribly cowardly and stupid. That is why he promised two [sic] beautiful women to every courageous warrior who dies in battle. This is the kind of language a soldier understands. When he believes that he will be welcomed in this manner in the afterlife, he will be willing to give his life, he will be enthusiastic about going to battle and not fear death. You may call this primitive and you may laugh about it, but it is based on deeper wisdom. A religion must speak a man's language." ---Heinrich Himmler (Dec 1st, 1942) Christianity has the Blood Libel...or did...it's preached in far fewer churches post-Holocaust. Christ Killers. Islam: Jews were cursed by Allah for rejecting Mohammad as the next Moses. The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews. ---Mohammad

Since when do the Girl Guides need a communications and marketing manager to go the the press and announce that they wouldn't be vacationing in the USA? Did they also announce that they wouldn't be travelling to the Netherlands? Somehow, I doubt it.

A great victory for Islam over the West. Congratulations.

No...11 steps. Including being accepted into a Synagogue by a group of Rabbis and learning (some) Hebrew. Pretty restrictive...and never knocking on your door with the 'Good News'. The Shahada is Allah's FINAL message to humanity and once you've heard it....know about it, even...you're either a Muslim or not. No human interjection is needed. Designed to be easy...not hard. Christianity is in the middle...you can drop-in...plop yer butt down in the pews and listen to the sermon. Only after you've been baptized in some fashion are you truly Christian. No insta-join like Islam...heh.

No, taxme just watches as closely as possible as to what goes on in Europe, and from the gloom and doom stories I have read and heard about from Europeans being a part of the EU. Apparently many citizen;s from many European countries want to be able to govern their own affairs but being a part of the EU they are not allowed too. Many Europeans are getting sick and tired of all those refugees entering their countries, and want it stopped. The EU will not listen, and from what I have read the EU wants to flood Europe with another 6 million more refugees. We are seeing an attempt by the globalist elite to try and destroy Europe and it's culture and way of life. What is good for Europeans is to try and save themselves from being replaced by others who will force their ways and cultures and values on them. I certainly would not like to see the day when maybe Europe becomes a Muslim country, do you? Would you want to see Muslims take over Canada? Well?

100%...it's the way these days.

If they choose to go elsewhere, great. They could check on travel visas, but they didn't. They could travel within Canada and show these girls what Canada has to offer, maybe that's the statement they should release - but, they didn't. They claimed victim status when they released that press statement. They could have said anything they wanted, they chose the political route.

This whole sequence is off topic.

I gave you a link supporting my claim; you provide nothing but opinion and when presented with proof you claim you said something else and attacked everyone on the "far left". Who is lacking "truth" here? I rarely post stuff that I can't back up with credible sources. You, on the other hand, rarely post any source - credible or otherwise - for any of your opinions. Claiming I lie fails to make your argument more credible, much as you might wish it did.

Care to include the stats on how many civilians killed since 9-11 by western-led forces?

What information do Trump or his supporters think was obtained by wiretapping Trump Tower? Everything we've learned so far has a more plausible explanation. Jeff Sessions' meetings with Sergey Kislyak didn't happen in Trump Tower. Michael Flynn's phone conversations with Sergey Kislyak may or may not have happened in Trump Tower, but it's far more likely that Michael Flynn and Sergey Kislyak were both being monitored. It's also very likely that Paul Manafort and Carter Page were being monitored. It's very likely that these individuals with high-level Russian contacts were being monitored. What have we learned so far that indicates that Trump Tower must have been under surveillance? None of the info that has come out so far seems to suggest surveillance of Trump Tower. Rather it seems to indicate that the intelligence services were spying on exactly the kind of people you'd expect them to spy on. I also find it odd that Trump supporters are upset by this. Certainly when the DNC was hacked Trump and his supporters were delighted that foreign criminals had Exposed The Truth. But since the election Trump supporters' enthusiasm for Exposing The Truth has diminished tremendously. They're not interested in the The Truth anymore, they're anxious to figure out why their guy is being exposed. Why is that? And why DID Trump surround himself with Russian-connected people like Manafort, Page, and Flynn? Why did Sessions and Flynn lie about simple questions regarding their contact with Kislyak? Why has Trump continuously lied about his financial ties to Russia? Why does Trump Tower have a server in communication with a Russian bank? Why did Republican change their platform regarding military assistance to Ukraine during the RNC? When it came to Hillary, Trump and his supporters said "where there's smoke, there's fire!" But when it comes to the smoke currently billowing out of the White House, Trump supporters are stuffing wet towels under the doors and window-sills and shouting "LALALLAAA THERE'S NO FIRE" as loud as they can. -k

Yes, but do you agree with "Marginalizing someone is being maliciously divisive!"? It seems that betsy doesn't ever want to support someone that mentions others on their website. Obviously she never supported a Conservative candidate because they were maliciously divisive forever with their website that is dedicate to the Liberal opposition (Just Visiting, Nice Hair, etc.).

That's because we have a bunch of morons who'd like to make our system more like yours.

Saudi financially backs ISIS and Al Qaeda. If this was about American civilian security and terrorism, Saudi Arabia should be first on the list.

I've been saying for years the US is damaged goods and that we should find more stable partners in the world. Another broken clock thing I guess - if I had a minute for each time I've busted a clock this way I'd have a new clock.

Americans watch it too and think they get to tell the world what to do...with little to no say in it.

It's just too bad we can't outlaw in-camera lobbying of a politician. Besides nipping corruption in the bud it would probably put 1/2 the media and political pundits out of business. Pile them up on the ocean floor beside all the lawyers.

I know yours didn't capture it all that's why I mentioned cops, drunks and irresponsible friends. All the US had to do was be a good cop and do unto everyone as it would have them do unto it. Instead they got drunk and as it turns out they're a really mean drunk. At this point it's a real toss up as to who's boot-heel would be worse for the ME to be stuck under.

How would you feel about turning our schools into institutions that more resemble Spartan or Klingon military prep schools and beat the progressiveness out of the little snots before it even takes hold?

I'm reminded off what normally happens in the face of similarly quantified data when it pertains to deaths by gun types in the US.

Therein lies the reason I have to assume they will get built. The pursuit of filthy lucre is like rust, it never sleeps Not me, I probably distrust him even more than you. If I was a Millennial I'd be more furious at the liquidation of their planet's natural capital by Boomers - and as big an inter-generational theft this is it'll pale beside the debt of environmental and ecological hangovers we're leaving for future generations.

That would sure make it easier to keep pipelines out. I suppose you'll be expecting BC to pay for Thev Great Wall of Alberta?

We should set up one of those high speed cameras used to capture brief flashes of people's facial expressions that are said to reveal their true inner feelings. Make people watch a debate between Maude Barlow or Kevin O'Leary or something and judge the reactions of immigrants accordingly.

And here's another post that underscores the sheer nastiness of the mindset that uses terms like pander when shitting on the needs of unfortunate kids. Do you people even realize what the word means either contextually or even legally? It means to gratify or indulge in a immoral indecent act, pandering is a legal term used when when laying charges against a pimp. Now pandering is a battle cry in the War On Snowflakes. You people make society sick.

No I'm not and sure I can. Is that what I really said? You make this same mistake over and over and over in this forum - ad nauseam to use your words. You read something and then your mind squirms like a toad before barfing up a reply that avoids and successfully misses just about every single point that's presented to you. It's the one thing you seem to excel at. Over and over and over again you do this and it's why you never really have a clue about what anyone is saying. Stop listening to the toad and simply reply to the words that are written. Then by all means stop responding to me but if you do be prepared to have your nose rubbed long and hard in any nonsense you spew. I understand the utter intransigence of people who will not have anything to do with any suggestion whatsoever that the west is the least tiny bit culpable for anything that's gone sideways in the Muslim Middle East region. That understanding however will never translate into pity or polity or alliance because I view this intransigence as the defining feature of 21st century conservatism and it fills me with a disgust that will never ever stop me from calling out anyone and everyone who subscribes to it. I'd probably applaud their deaths till the cows come home.

It's worked swimmingly for decades as far as concentrating the wealth of our fisheries into as few hands as possible goes.

My Bradley Digital Smoker is filled with chinook as we speak. The black-cod (sablefish) is next, in the queue so to speak.

It's french fries, cheese curds and gravy...disgusting, in a word.

I think culture is largely shaped by ideology and economics now - human culture is eroding and being subsumed under the culture that's developed around our institutions, mostly corporate and government.

I was responding to taxme's white-supremacist statements with my own over-the-top statements. I don't think Caucasian people are inherently better than other races, nor do I think other races are inherently better than Caucasians. I used to think that if women were in power, they would be less warlike than men, but that's been disproven. As to being on "top", we seem to take turns. Right now our Western civilization is indeed on top. But we haven't always been, for a long while it was the Arab-types who ruled the world - or at least as much of the world as they knew. Same with the Chinese. Not sure about Africans or Indians, but perhaps their time is coming. Although, if Caucasian is used in it's original taxonomic sense, instead of referring to skin color, we white-colored people are the same as many brown-colored people: Then again, there isn't much difference among people once things like location and culture are removed:

True enough, but in the context of a race dying out over time because they failed to produce more of their kind just seems like natural selection. Being deliberately eliminated through active aggression is a little different, IMO. Active aggression does not include living in the same country and going about your daily business.

Where would the Whites be without gunpowder, the compass, paper and the printing press, all invented by the Chinese? Arab Muslims created algebra, the magnifying glass, coffee; they also created and developed the idea of the modern hospital, found around the world today. Indian contributions to world knowledge and progress include math, medicine and agriculture - all of which the White's have used and built upon. Civilization itself began in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Egypt. It may be true (and I'm not convinced) that the inventions and discoveries of the last 100 years have come largely from European countries, but prior to that we were essentially nothing in the world - it was the non-Whites who were moving the world toward our modern civilization through inventions and discoveries. We built upon their work, and the people who come after us - whatever their color of skin - will build upon what we've done.
