It looks as though they're starting the brainwashing at a younger and younger age. I'm glad this asshole got caught spreading his hate in the guise of "learning" and "discussion". Like grade 6's are on par to legitimately discuss that type of issue with him.

I don't accept your premise. I don't balk at public funds being spent on improving healthcare, the environment, infrastructure, etc, etc. I do however balk at some of the ways money gets spent. I absolutely do rail against high taxes and government interference and beauracracy, because that's the kind of obstacles which supress economic growth. Where do you think all the money you libs love to spend comes from? Again, I don't accept your premise. I never once stated that the Olympics is a profitable venture, although it is entirely possible to turn a profit. Some of the private sector is footing the bill. However, even if the Olympics isn't profitable, and even if the private sector didn't provide a dime, I still think it's a valuable national experience that's worth the cost. An experience that comes along once in a generation if lucky. Most of them are liberals, it's what they do best.

I'm not sure why the topic of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games has developed into a thread of Marxist rich vs poor nonsense. I'm so sick and tired of people like you, who like to decree that every percieved societal ill be eliminated before participating in such events. If you're not happy with your elected offical's decisions, use your vote and correct the problem. But this is a great opportunity for Canada to showcase itself on the world stage, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Your entitlement attitude is very unbecoming. Your life, good or bad, has nothing to do with Vancouver hosting the Winter Games. Give us a break.

It's sad to see so many on the "compassionate" left rooting for a "civil war" in Iraq. Unfortunately, when one's hatred for a single individual (President Bush) exceeds all logic and reason, these types of things tend to happen. I wish you all well in your recovery. Friedman: Iraqi Violence Reflects Al-Qaeda Realization "In Some Ways They're Losing" Friedman's response to Gibson's query as to who would want to bomb the mosque was fascinating, as it suggested that not only has Iraq become the climactic battleground of the war against terrorism and Al-Qaeda, but that the current wave of violence may reflect Al-Qaeda's perception that it is losing the battle. Friedman: "People have often asked why has there been no terrorism in the United States since 9/11 and my answer to them is my answer to you. I believe Al Qaeda . . . their main focus right now is to defeat us in the very heart of their world. Their focus right now is on defeating us in Iraq. After all, they want to control the Middle East. They're not interested in controlling Las Vegas. "They know if they defeat America in the heart of their world, the resonance that will have is enormous. In contrast, if we defeat them in the heart of their world in collaboration with other arabs and Muslims by putting together some kind of decent democracy there, it will be a terrible defeat. So what you're seeing is in many way acts of unspeakable violence. I mean, going into one of the most prominent Shiite shrines, the reason they're doing it is -- that in some ways they're losing. The closer we get to producing a decent outcome there, the crazier our opponents are going to get because they know if they lose it's strategic." Link I agree 100%. This recent attack is proof, beyond a shadow of a doubt that the forces of evil in Iraq are losing, and feel it's necessary to take drastic measures to derail the process, before they lose for good. And the only support they seem to be getting now, is from the kook-left, in which this thread is a perfect example.

He's also the master of the strawman, and now, the red herring! George Galloway would be proud!

How about you hold your breath until the American dollar drops below ours, and the American military collapses?

Thank you. Yes, there is no transfer of ownership. And the security of ports has and still remains with the Coast Guard, Border Patrol and Customs. This is much ado about nothing.

I have read the actual behavior in question as well as viewed the video, and yes, I will call is boorish behavior, because that's what it was. You have every right to your opinion. However, in my opinion, chants of "we will win, we will win" cross the bounds of decency at a funeral. This from the master of the strawman, I love it!

You may want to give her the benefit of the doubt, unless its become a pattern of behavior. But as someone else suggested, sitting down and talking sounds like a good idea. It may turn out to be more of a misunderstanding.

This is the same type of trash that African-American conervatives face on a regular basis. Why don't you just come out and say it, we're the Canadian equivalent of an Uncle Tom. By golly, we just ain't know who's is gonna treat us betta huh?

Yes, I guess technically, the Canadian military wasn't destroyed. What I should have said is severely crippled. That's a fact. I never stated Iraq was "under control". Most of the country is relatively stable, aside from the "Sunni triangle". I also never stated that the United States army wasn't going to be in Iraq for the foreseeable future. Of course they are. However, their presence will slowly decline. The withdrawal plan is victory. When Iraq can assume control of it's security, then coalition troops can begin to come home in large numbers. Of course that will take some time. I'm not saying mistakes haven't been made, but your assertions are totally inaccurate. Well, that's not what's happening. I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm sorry you're so misinformed. That premise is ridiculous. I'm sure there's alot of people that wish the deficits in the 1980's were just "so-called". Unfortunately, reality says otherwise.

The liberals virtually destroyed our military, and the only reasons it's being fixed is because of public pressure and national embarrassment. Our Air Force isn't a little sketchy, it's alot sketchy. Not the pilots mind you, but the equipment they're forced to have to use. And what about our Navy? It's alot sketchy too. We have to rely on used submarines from the British that end up almost killing the crew. Wake up and smell the coffee. Absolute nonsense. How come 2000 soldiers have died? Because it's a war. The problem is that the media in conjunction with the US military only reports the number of coalition casualties. I may be wrong, but as of now, the terrorists have yet to release any casualty figures of their own, which would amount to 100 times greater then any US or British total. And yes, some new Iraqi forces are attacked, but nothing close to everytime as you state, and nothing close to everyone. How old are you? Seriously. You lack any type of historical perspective. I'm guessing around 13, am I right? Again, absolute nonsense, and absolutely no perspective. Just because you say that the American army is on the verge of collapse, doesn't make it true. America ran large deficits during the 80's, and the American military didn't see any decline in it's capabilities. In fact, the deficits of the present are a lesser percentage of GDP then the deficits during the 1980's.

No, unfortunately it's not just a small typo. We all can have a problem or two with spelling, especially if you're typing fast and/or rushing a post. My suggestion is to take a couple of minutes to proof-read before you submit. Because your previous post's spelling is atrocious. No, the men and women of the Canadian military are definitely not a joke. However, the Canadian military's capabilities are. The liberals in charge have absolutely destroyed a once great and capable Armed Forces. Absolute nonsense. No, the American military isn't badly losing in Iraq. Again, more nonsense. The American military isn't on the verge of collapse. No, unfortunately we can't fly our own soldiers to Afghanistan. We have to accept transportation from the American military because we don't have those capabilities. If we wanted to fly our own troops to a theater of operations, we'd probably have to have them take commercial flights, which would take forever to mass a large number of soldiers.

What I think everyone needs to understand, is that the Islamic intolerance that threatens the world, is an immense problem that goes well beyond a small minority of Muslims. It may infact be a majority. I think we need to stop kidding ourselves. I know it's not the policially correct thing to say, but sometimes the truth isn't politically correct.

Hey Monty, you want hate, here it is, plenty of it! All from Black Dog's ilk. Paper Shutters Blog After Ombudsman Post The Washington Post shut down one of its blogs Thursday after the newspaper's ombudsman raised the ire of readers by writing that lobbyist Jack Abramoff gave money to the Democrats as well as to Republicans. There were so many personal attacks that the newspaper's staff could not "keep the board clean, there was some pretty filthy stuff," and so the Post shut down comments on the blog, or Web log, said Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com. "We're not giving up on the concept of having a healthy public dialogue with our readers, but this experience shows that we need to think more carefully about how we do it," Brady wrote on the newspaper's Web site. "There are things that we said we would not allow, including personal attacks, the use of profanity and hate speech." Link The Firestorm Over My Column Nothing in my 50-year career prepared me for the thousands of flaming e-mails I got last week over my last column, e-mails so abusive and many so obscene that part of The Post's Web site was shut down. These facts have been reported many times in The Post and elsewhere. So why would it cause me to be called a "right-wing whore" and much worse? Witness three printable examples: "Yes, the WAPO needs an enema, and Howell should be the first thing that gets medicinally removed." "You Deborah Howell, stop lying about Democrats getting money from Abramoff. Democrats do not control anything in Washington, so why would he waste money bribing them. Think and do your research, and stop being an idiot." "This rag must be something that I pulled off a barscreen at a sewage treatment plant. Howell is simply a paid liar. How this creature endures itself is something I don't understand. What a piece of flotsam." Link Ahh, the compassion of the left!

Another great observation Monty! It's amazing how petty the MSM can be when they feel they've been wronged. You're right, Brit Hume is a very well respected journalist who has worked in the MSM for years, previously with ABC News. It's also possible that Cheney chose Fox News because he wanted the interview to be seen, unlike the 5 viewers on CNN and the 3 viewers on MSNBC. Although I do like watching MSNBC at times, Hardball can be a decent show, and I like tuning into Imus from time to time. And you're soooooo right about the double standard. It's ok for Dems to go on programs like Larry King and get lobbed softball after softball, to the point of resembling verbal fellatio. Or Hillary Clinton.

You idiots need to learn how to connect the dots. Russia Warned U.S. About Iraq, Putin Says Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that his intelligence service had warned the Bush administration before the U.S. invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein's government was planning attacks against U.S. targets both inside and outside the country Washington Post What a great summary Monty! I just wish it weren't so true. However, it does make you wonder what the world would look like now, what could have been, if there had been a real leader in the White House during those crucial years. Hey Monty, can you hear the screeching brakes as the "Bush lied" rally comes to a pathetic halt. Once again the President is vindicated, and once again many on the kook-left owe him a great big apology. I love it! Oh, and here's a few more interesting statements made on the tapes: Sir, the biological is very easy to make. It's so simple that any biologist can make a bottle of germs and drop it into a water tower and kill 100,000. This is not done by a state. No need to accuse a state. An individual can do it -Tariq Aziz We did not reveal all that we have," Kamel says in the meeting. "Not the type of weapons, not the volume of the materials we imported, not the volume of the production we told them about, not the volume of use. None of this was correct -Hussein Kamel (Shortly after this meeting, in August 1995, Hussein Kamel defected to Jordan, and Iraq was forced to admit that it had concealed its biological weapons program. (Kamel returned to Iraq in February 1996 and was killed in a firefight with Iraqi security forces.) Connect the f***ing dots people!

No he isn't, which is exactly why I stated "the prospect of someone dying". Read before you post. Ok. I'd like to take this opportunity to educate some of you. Here's a newsflash. Dick Cheney isn't in the mountains of Afghanistan searching for Osama Bin Laden. President Bush isn't in the mountains of Afghanistan searching for Osama Bin Laden. Who is you may ask yourself? Brave men and women of the American military, and Special Ops. So when you refer to "they" haven't been able to catch Bin Laden but "they" can hunt down a 78 year old man, it makes absolutely no sense. If you can't believe that the Special Operations soldiers in Afghanistan haven't been able to capture of kill Osama Bin Laden yet, and that it's an easy enough job that should have been completed by now, maybe you should pick up a gun and try it yourself. If not, shut the fuck up, and stop disparaging the brave people (who don't include policitians) that are trying to accomplish that goal.

Wow, another strawman. Do you ever provide anything of substance? Anyways, Black Dog provides us with a great illustration of stupidity. Black Dog's defense of Islamic extremism is to attack and mock Christianity. Does that make any sense to anyone? These are the same type of people who have no problem turning funerals into political conventions. It really is too bad that Coretta Scott King passed away. You people missed a chance to explain to her that the God she worships and the God her husband worshipped is one of the so-called "undead". Yeah, you've got so much in common with them.

I'm glad you find the prospect of someone dying so humorous. Not sure exactly what Bin Laden has to do with this incident.

It's funny cause it's soooo true. At least Cheney will get you medical help. Kennedy just leaves you for dead, and then tries to cover it up.

She has more then a few. Try a few hundred. Anyways, think before you speak, or at least take the time to do a little research. Link

Fearmonger alert! Fearmonger alert! That's the same kind of bullplop that was spread during the 2004 Presidential campaign. It's not going to happen, so give it up.

You mean this NAACP?NAACP chairman compares GOP to Nazis Bond delivers blistering partisan speech in North Carolina Link No. Absolutely not. The NAACP are an extremely partisan organization. Do not compare them to a funeral service. By no means is a President required to attend functions of people who compare you to Nazi's. Maybe during Hoover's time in office, they existed as a non-partisan group, but that train has long since passed. Nice try though. Not only did President Bush take a pass, but so do Democrats. NAACP warns Democratic no-shows not to expect black vote MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Three of the Democrats' nine presidential contenders drew the wrath of the president of the NAACP for skipping the group's candidate forum Monday Link

Again, with people of your ilk, he loses either way. If he doesn't go to her funeral he'll be criticized, when he goes to her funeral, he gets criticized. It's a lose/lose situation for him. Like I stated previously, as the current American President, his attendance at such an important national event, for such an important national citizen was absolutely manditory. And Zues is right. What politician doesn't have an agenda? All politicians do. Especially the Dem politicians who attended the funeral. You know how we know? Because they voiced their agenda during the service. Yes, her and President Bush disagreed on certain issues. However, they also agreed on certain issues as well. They HAVE shared a stage in the past, both respectful of eachother, which is more then I can say for certain individuals that attended her service. A total lack of class. Because like it or not, it's a two-party system. Besides, I've found that most "independents" are people who don't have a core set of beliefs and stances on issues.
