A Canadian community has blocked plans for a controversial memorial to Americans who fled to Canada to avoid the Vietnam War and U.S. military draft, officials said on Wednesday. Wow. Canadians I can respect. Keen.

too bad I wanted to see just how long it would last after the dedication given the numbers of spec ops still able to stealthfully infiltrate and demolate ugly symbols...

All of the Canadians I've spoken with are embarrassed at this.

I guess the Canadians heard the rumble of 50,000 Canadian WW2 war heroes spinning in their graves.

Of course Jimmy would give draft dodgers amnesty. These are his voters after all (note the movement to give back the vote to ex-felons).
To: kingattax
No Canadian memorial to Vietnam War draft-dodgers could ever be more disgraceful than the two "memorials" we built for them right here in the United States -- the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections.

although about half returned home after President Jimmy Carter granted amnesty in 1997 Wow, Jimmy Carter was president for a long time. You learn something new every day.

Like a dying fish stranded on a dock, even a nation governed by Leftist idiots and scoundrels sometimes has an isolated spasm of sense. Canada though still seems unlikely to survive its next hard test as a nation unless we bother to prop them up out of misplaced charity.
To: kingattax
I suspect that this was done for economic reasons rather than moral ones.
To: All
GOOD NEWS!
btw that's a typo, I think it was 1977 when "Peanutbrain" gave the draft dodgers amnesty...
Semper Fi,

I totally agree. It was a disgrace that he was elected.
And I think that Clinton being elected in 92 and 96 is partly to blame for the rage that the Left has for Bush. Actually, I don't believe that the rage they have is for Bush at all but that he is the scapegoat. I believe their rage is toward the American people. I think they felt secure that they were winning the war of ideas and ideologies, that after 30 years of controlling the media, entertainment, and education, and after the election twice of the poster boy for 1960's Leftism, that they had won and would continue to control the country. When the people had the nerve to elect Bush, the Left lost control. Now they are coming totally unhinged as it looks like Bush is way ahead.

I agree with you. Their favorite accusation against GWB is "liar," the charge for which their Icon was impeached.
Libs live for the day when the whole world will agree with them that Clinton was not the only liar, "but everyone does it." Until that day, they will remain in battle mode against President Bush.
These, however, are the same people who are today excusing Kerry's latest lie - that he misspoke the famous $87 billion line because it was late at night - when he said it at an official campaign event to rayy-goers who were present.
They have a candidate who is not comfortable with reality, and that is OK with them!

Exactly, because their creed is "Win at any cost." Their definition of victory is Soviet-style control of America.
It is this creed that explains their ability to support views in blatant contradiction (e.g., against the death penalty, for abortion), their hypocrisy, their willingness to lie and support liars, and their use of either peace or violence (mob intimidation and assault, ecoterrorism) depending on whichever is right for a specific situation to bring them closer to controlling others. It all makes perfect sense. It is a full-fledged culture war and our opponents are fully engaged at all levels. Thank G-- for FreeRepublic and other avenues that enable us to organize and coordinate our counterattack.
To: Ghost of Philip Marlowe
Yes, one of their basic tenets is "tolerance" which is libspeak for solely their own perspective! Any deviation from their viewpoint is conveniently labelled "hatespeech."
Yes, we are very fortunate to have FreeRepublic.

"I suspect that this was done for economic reasons rather than moral ones."
The actions here are what have relevance. They did the right thing. I don't care why.
