Actually, I am very tired of some hockety fans equating hockey with patriotism. Some may say it in jest, but some are serious.

I went to school all through the 60's, and never said any pledge to the flag. We had a morning Bible reading, and the Lord's Prayer, but never sang God Save the Queen, Oh Canada or anything ewlse.

Betsy, what happened to God? In the OT he was "If you don't worship me, I'll kill you and all your family! I demand to be worshipped! I need to be worshipped, so worship me OR ELSE!!!". In the NT, He is all rainbows, butterflies and bunnies. What happened?

I dislike hockey, and I am probably a better Canadian than many. I wore this country's uniform, I vote in every election (even if I have to hold my nose whilst doing so), I have been politically active, I volunteer in the community (my "name" should show that), I fly this country's flag on my home every day, but I don't like hockey. So, I am a bad Canadian?

They don't care who wins, as long as they can claim they supported that team all along. Buncha phoneys.

I think he is anxious to make his mark in history before he goes off to Hell. Ripping off your listeners will get that for you.

The Bible is a book. A book of suggestions and parables, but no more true than Harry Potter.

Drat! Well, it worked when I posted it. Anyway, look it up on Yahoo news.

Nutter Harold Camping is at it again. He now says the world will end in October. When will this whack-job give up? http://ca.news.yahoo.com/us-radio-host-predicted-may-21-judgement-day-180238560.html

Not to the Liberals. They created the NEP because Alberta wouldn't share oil revenues with Ontario.

Because hockey fans are fickle. They will cheer for a team all year until it is out of the running. They quickly jump to supporting another team until it is out. Then another and another until the Stanley Cup is finally won by whatever team, and all the fickle fans jump up and yell, "YES!! That is the team I wanted to win all along!!!"

I don't cheer for any overpaid hockey playing goobers.

What's the problem, Betsy? Obama isn't a Bible pounding Christian? Not good enough for your liking?

I see Betsy making a comment about Obama possibly being a Muslim in the "Harper/Obama" thread.

Will it usher in the rapture?

Elect the former CEO of a company that makes some of the most terrible pizzas in the US? What next?

I never said all Americans call Obama a Muslim. I said he is constantly being accused of being so. I have seen it in the newspapers, on tv, and on other chat sites. My point was that if he WERE a Muslim, he would never have been elected due to fear and prejudice. And yes, there are those who hate him because he is not caucasian. He has, from what I readd on Yahoo a few months ago, received 3 times more death threats than any other president, with many of the threats calling him a Muslim, or telling him a black man should not be president. A minority, but a loud one, are the ones doing this.

The majority of Americans don't think Obama is a Muslim. It is a small, vocal minority (in particular those who don't want a non-caucasian president) who keep making that claim.

I wasn't aware that the Canadian Prime Minister was required to agree with the American president at all times.

A radio program.

Do you honestly think Obama would have been elected had he been a Muslim? In your dreams.

I know he preaches hate and intolerance.

Betsy, stop your preaching. Nobody gives a shit about what your religious philosophy is.

BTW, what time does this all happen? Given Australia is a day ahead of us in time, has the end started there already?
