What I meant was that there are no PRESIDENTIAL primaries, and you know it. Stopping the Keystone XL pipeline is a twofer: Fail for Canada and even more so, fail for America. 9% or near 9% unemployment rate indeed an American problem. Obama defeated a candidate who was in no way imaginable inferior to him. Obama won, because of the guilt feeling of Americans who thought that centuries of repression and exploitation of blacks will be wiped out by voting for a half black person who was abandoned by his black father and was raised by his white grandparents. While I agree that spousal pride is not a prerequisite, no would be First Ladies, EVER, spoke about America as Michelle Obama did. OK, let me get a grip! Tell me how and why a guy who quit his terms less than half-way through as State Senator and United States Senator, after voting a record number of spineless, gutless and sitting-on-the-fence "PRESENT" votes at both the State and the U.S. Senate is better and more suited for the office of President than either a former Speaker of The House, or a former Governor of a State, or a former Senator or a current Congress man, who was elected multiple times. Mind you, I have no dog in this hunt. But I lived in the States for many years, got lots of American friends and know the American mindset and if I could vote for the American President, I would beg to disagree with you.

Some bastards who should be culled from the human race, with great torture and extreme prejudice are the breeders of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, who kill all puppies in a litter that show any signs that that puppy will not have the fur on the back growing backwards, as it is required by breed standards. If these sorry pieces of sub-human garbage had any decency and any trace of humanity or any amount of brains, they would develop a new breed, which they could call "Rhodesian Ridgeless". I also have problems with breeders of German Shepperds, who are hell bent on developing the perfect dog, that will die of a ruptured spine prior to age 8 years. Or breeders of pugs whose life ambition is to develop dogs that can't breath.

My "rant" may have been colorful, but it showed none of the hypocrisy that the handle of an obvious water carrier for 0bama does. You know, like: bush_cheney2004.

Surely, the most blatant oxymoron is the expression "Honour Killing". It could have been conceived only in the 'mind' of Muslims.

The REAL clown show is painfully obvious by its absence. Since there is no Democratic Primary, it is safe to come to the conclusion that all Democrats are happy with the Obama train wreck. None of the Democrat Obama worshippers has the guts to come forward and challenge the failed policy of this communist organizer. They all seem to be content with the 9% unemployment rate. They all seem to be happy with depriving their great-grand-children of a hope for a decent life, by piling debt over debt over their shoulders. None of the Democrat heavy weights are political heavy weights because of the steel in their spine, but because of the overload of blubber in their millionaire bellies. No President before Obama was ever elected by implied affirmative action, by the color of his skin, because of collective guilt complex of white wussies, or because of failing to complete a term as a state senator, failing to complete a term as a U.S. Senator, and because he managed to set a record of spineless, gutless fence-sitting "PRESENT" votes in both chambers. Obviously, the one fact to qualify this fraud for the Presidency was one speech, read off the teleprompter, written by someone far smarter than he, and the fact that his wife was never proud of her country. Any of the Republican contenders would be better than Obama. When it comes to craziness, Obama beats all Republican contenders by a country mile. Half term state senator. Half term U.S. Senator. Half black half white. Full hypocrite.

"SANTORUM" as defined by Dan Savage and hysterically supported by his like-minded fellow gays is their breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. No wonder they know so much about it.

If the United States is turning into a police state, surely the blame rest on the President's skinny shoulders.

You mean American made cars, "built" by free-loading union thugs.

So, don't fly!! With the superior highways the United States has, which, by the way is only a dream Canada could have about 50 years from now, why would anyone want to fly from anywhere in Canada to anywhere in the U.S.? And let me add: For six years I commuted from my home in Canada to the Head Office of the Company I worked for for almost 40 years. I crossed the border at the Peace Bridge, or Lewiston, or Detroit about 300 times from 1997 till 2003, when I retired. The six years I spent working in the US were the happiest of my almost 40 years of my career with the same company. Americans, unlike Canadians, were ready to give me a praise for a job well done. They were ready to accept me as an equal, regardless of of my position on the company ladder. They were ready to treat me as a person who deserves respect for long service, rather than prefer giving a shapely new young female employee preferential treatment for nothing more than being young and female, as the yahooes did in Canada. Talk all the trash about Americans, my experience will always trump your prejudice.

Calling ALL Republican Presidential contenders CRAZY and rating them on their CRAZINESS, starting an entire new thread on that premise, is apparently agreeable and correct and not in violation of the Rules of the Forum, but calling Democrats "gutless and spineless" earned me a rebuke from the moderators (at least from the most sanctimonious one). Another esteemed member here called a Republican contender a "FLIP-FLOPPER". Obviously, to the moderators here, any flip-flop in the direction that they approve of is NOT offensive. Is that any less offensive or based less in fact than my contention that some Democrats are what I dared to call them? Another poster referred to Ron Paul as an "inflexible ideologue". Explain why that is less offensive than what I called Democrats. A whole bunch of other perfectly respectable and non-offensive, loving and tolerant posters (one has to wonder about their political affiliations) repeatedly and routinely call anyone right of center as "WINGNUTS". Absolutely not offensive if you are a left winger or a moderator. Can we hope for some objectivity and fairness?

There is truth to what you are saying. Times and customs change. Owning slaves in the late part of the 18th century and until the middle of the 19th was no different - at least to the mindset of the people of those time periods - than owning a pet or a flat screen TV to the people of today.

And what the Hell was Islam based on? At least Joseph Smith did not go around killing thousands, perhaps millions of people to convert them. Joseph Smith's religion gave the world such artistic treasures as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, architectural treasures as the Mormon Cathedral in Salt Lake City, while Islam gave the world suicide bombers, stonings, limb amputations, honor killings and 9/11. You and your pathetic ilk can call Joseph Smith a "con man" but he was never a murderous con man like the founder of the "religion" you seem to adore.

And you say that with authority, because you are educated and earned degrees in theology, pertaining to all the faiths your posts imply that you consider yourself to be expert on. Let us remember that this thread's key word is CRAZY. A word that start with a "C". Small 'c'.

Or the craziest of them all, Ralph Nader. I am sure John Kerry just loves him.

Biden is The Chosen One's life insurance policy. The Communist organizer picked Joe to be His Vice President - in spite of all the denigrating and racist and demeaning remarks Joe made about Him - is that He knew fully well that even the most rabid Lee Harvey Oswald or John Wilkes Booth wannabe would not be unpatriotic enough to condemn the United States to a Biden Presidency. Talk about CRAZY!!!

The process is called the "PRIMARIES". It lets the voting population make up their minds about who they consider the most worthy for the office that is - arguably - the most powerful on Earth. Seems to me that only the Republican Party is willing to let Americans decide. The Democrats are all content sheep, or happy campers, or gutless cowards who can't produce one single patriot who would be willing to challenge the tragic disaster that occupies - and I mean that in the way the Germans occupied Poland - the White House. Fear of being called a RACIST, which would be inevitably the charge if any Democrat dared to challenge 0bama, obviously trumps love of country, sense of decency and plain old common sense. Some here are calling the Republican contenders crazy. The silent Democrat cowards are TRAITORS.

Democrats don't have to be crazy. They are simply spineless, gutless craven cowards. They see the tragedy of 0bama, yet none of them has the courage to step up and challenge this communist mulatto in a primary. Pity!

Maybe Allah does not condone murder, but Mohammed sure reveled in it and his followers find no trouble whipping innocent women to death and flying hijacked planes into skyscrapers killing thousands of innocent people.

Long before Palestine is recognized, parts of Turkey, Syria and Iraq should be annexed and given to a legitimate Kurd state, and recognized by the United Nations and the world.

Looks like the answers to my questions have been limited to Canadian content. Come on, open your minds/perspectives. Israel vs. Arab world... United States vs. Rest of the world. Republicans vs. Democrats. Feminists vs. normal people. Atheists vs. people of faith. Etc. etc....

Be as crude and vulgar as you want to be, after all, this is still a free country, affording opportunities to idiots, regardless of the degree of their idiocy. Prove Steyn wrong with cogent and valid arguments and reasonable counter-proposals.

I am looking forward to the day when I will be able to shake the shackles of the evil GASOLINE and ride my car from Winnipeg to Toronto to visit my son, at 25 km/hour in my solar panel equipped car. And hoping for a sunny day. All will be good. All will be copacetic. All will be CO2 free. Who needs CO2 anyways? Just ask the plants. They have more brains than Al Gore.

No poll, no voting, just give your honest opinion about what you consider most hypocritical.

If unions and unionists were decent and realistic enough to realize and acknowledge their own worth, they would know that their unreasonable demands are pricing jobs in America right into the Chinese market. Union thugs keep on trying to convince their misguided members - who are paying dues to pay for the exotic and extravagant vacations of Girard, Trumka and the latter day re-incarnation of 'cement-block' Hoffa - that they are worth, with a grade 8 education the same as an engineer or a doctor or just about anyone with brains.

All right, let's compare 0bama to Perry. 0bama: Quit being state senator where he voted record number of spineless "PRESENT" to run for U.S. Senate. Quit U.S. Senate where he racked up the most liberal voting record to run for President, based ONLY on one rousing speech, designed to appeal to freeloaders. Perry: Elected Governor (several times) of one of the most populous states. Created more jobs than any other governor, never mind 'President' 0bama.
