The connotation of the term 'political prisoner' suggests that he is a victim of persecution for dissenting political opinions and given your reference to 'Zionism' one can easily surmise who you are are suggesting is his persecutor. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for Zundel's crackpot beliefs and I don't think he should have been prosecuted in this country for expressing them, but even then I would not suggest he was ever a 'political prisoner.'

I find it disturbing that your post refers to 'Zionists' and describes Neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel as a 'political prisoner'. The people who quarrel with the numbers start with the numbers but end with Zionist conspiracy theories.

If it was only 4 millon would that make it any less worse than it is? One of the most advanced societies on earth used modern bureacracy and science to murder millions of human beings in a systematic and thorough way such as the world had never seen before. It was regimented, automated murder on a massive scale, assisted by government, medicine, and engineering, all used to make a perfect machine for death. Frightening no? The 6 million Jews reference is because it was the largest group. It is worth remembering.

A Clinton is a Clinton is a Clinton. They pioneered the 'politics of personal destruction.' This one will backfire. So much for going out with grace, Hillary. http://www.drudgereport.com/flashoa.htm http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1811

What happened to free speech? These allegiances tend to dissipate over time as immigrants are successfully integrated into Canadian society (and all of our policies should encourage this). As long as they aren't engaged in violence or financing foreign or domestic terrorism we should not have a problem with a group of people demonstrating one way or the other.

The people in any democracy are fickle. Read, Aristophanes play The Knights for his characterization of democracy who he literally personifies as "Demos" a cranky nearsighted old man who has servants (politicians) who steal from him and tell him lies. Funny play. Obama is maybe a character like 'the sausage seller' who outwits all the other unscrupulous politicians.

The Liberals must be overjoyed.

Foreign troops are not being stationed on Canadian soil. They would only be invited onto Canadian soil by the democratically elected Canadian government in a time of serious and probably national emergency. If you feel so strongly about this issue call you local MP and ask him to get his party to bring the issue up for debate in the House, to call for a vote and make it a matter of confidence in the government if they feel as strongly as you do. That is accountablility.

Not everything governments do is debated in parliament prior to it happening. This type of agreement is within the executive purview and whose cabinet ministers are answerable to the democratically elected parliament. You did know that didn't you?

Are you elected Liberal/NDP/Bloc representatives going to raise it in parliament?

It's called Parliament. The government makes thousands of decisions everyday for which cabinet members are accountable in our democratically elected pariament. If you want to move to a system where citizens have frequent referendums you would have to change our system of government considerably and this would not be an issue worthy of a referendum.

A country with a solid foundation in tolerance is facing huge issues related in religious intolerance and ethnic division. One of it's former MP's Ayan Hirsi Ali has been dubbed the first 'European refugee' in decades since she fled to the United States because a fatwa for her death put her life in jeopardy in Holland. http://www.nisnews.nl/public/220208_1.htm "The woman is being tried for causing the death of Ali El Bejatti. On 17 January 2005, this Moroccan youth opened her car door and snatched her handbag. The woman reversed against the boy, who was on a scooter. He was crushed against a tree, broke his neck and died. The woman has been in hiding for three years, according to her lawyer Cees Korvinus. She is so afraid of reprisals that she moved from hiding-place to hiding-place, De Telegraaf quoted the lawyer as saying yesterday. The police advised her to go into hiding after the incident, according to the newspaper."

It was hardly secret since we know about it and our elected representatives in parliament are free to raise this issue any time and even make it matter of confidence if they so choose. There's no unaccountability there and the policy is part of a widely announced policy of mutual cooperation between Canada and the US on security issues.

No one is permitted to have a view different from yours unless they have some sort of sinister ulterior motive? Curiously you didn't give any examples of what Harper is doing behind the electorate's back that are things for which he is unaccountable for.

Your fear has no basis in fact. Please provide us with examples of things they are doing behind the electorate's back without accountability. I can't think of a government more accountable than one in a minority government situation can you?

The NYT is a liberal rag that built McCain up as foil for Bush and then as a foil for Romney. They went so far as to endorse him as the best Republican. Real conservatives despise McCain as a pseudo-conservative who flirted with Democrats and the courted the approval of the liberal MSM. As soon as he essentially clinched the nomination, the NYT brought out the knives because they do not support any Republican. They published a flimsey story from 'unnamed sources' who had an axe to grind against McCain. Not that it matters. McCain cannot win in 2008.

"Financed the Nazis?" Hardly. He served as a director on companies that made money on German investments. Some of those companies were involved with the Nazis. A tenuous connection. The interests were financial and many German businessmen hoped the Nazis could be controlled and would return financial stability to Germany. American investors were removed and had a financial interest in the bottom line of German companies which is exactly what we would expect would motivate foreign investors.

I get tired of this "Hitler was a Christian" nonsense. Like almost everyone in Austria born in the late 19th Century Hitler was baptized a Catholic. There is nothing Christian about Hitler's life or Naziism. No humility. No 'turn the other cheek'. No 'render unto Caesar'. No 'do unto others.' There isn't a single tenet of Christianity I can think of that applies to Hitler or the Nazi party that he created. The roots of Hitlers beliefs lie in German philosophy particularly that of Nietzsche who was an atheist.

Because the democratically elected government has instituted a policy that opposes the enemies of freedom.

Do you have stats to back that up that claim?

Great. Then let's ban abortions and encourage reproduction. I'm curious how with immigration more is better and more prosperity but with reproduction we are told we have too many citizens already and that we are richer with less people than more.

Instead of telling us of your distain for them why not tell us what you actually disagree with and why?

Except that Russia isn't "Europe" and Stalin felt no guilt about Versailles.

Didn't take long for the usual insane liberals to defend Castro as 'human' and having 'done some good things' for Cuba. Yeah and Hitler did some good things too. Yikes! Here's just a smidgeon of the real Cuba, naive leftwing friends.... http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-6895.html "Sexual diversity was seen by Fidel Castro as a corrupt consequence of capitalism. Cuban poet Jose Mario, an important artistic figure in the country, suffered in Cuban labour camps as Castro's regime 're-educated' homosexuals. Gays were incarcerated in Military Units to Aid Production (UMAPs) between 1965 and 1968. Castro believed that hard work would rid the men of their "counter-revolutionary tendencies."" And to the poster who was disapointed that Castro didn't 'announce democracy' today that's like Hillary Clinton announcing she's really a woman: ain't gonna happen cause it ain't on the table. Dictatorship worked out for Castro and his cronies really well.

Looks like Hillary has one last fan out there.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjrXhbQA2Jk
