That Galloway makes John Bolton look like a silk stocking diplomat.
I'm sure no one knew who he even was. I didn't until May 5 when he won a seat in England by a bunch of voting rag heads.
But go from here to the Yahoo Forum I was at. Believe it or not in that world, Arafat deserved a state funeral, the Palestinians have never done anything to America, and Galloway is some hero slaying the evil American Congress which should be charged with war crimes.
I am not an American. But from the moment I became politically aware I could never comprehend the lack of self respect and the depth of navel gazing that would cause non-Americas to so despise America. No doubt, America is not perfect and hasn't always made the best decisions. No nation has. Yet America is held up against a standard 10 times that of any other nation. My wife came from Colorado and lives with me here in Canada. I can tell you most Canadians have no class. Numerous people my wife came in contact with slammed America in front of her, knowing she was an American. If I lived in the US as a Canadian I would expect to be treated with some class. In front of me I would prefer Americans not to bash my heritage, unless I indicated that I agreed with their assessment. In conclusion, maybe the rest of the Western World just lacks class?
Based on your comments, I think you would be warmly received in the U.S. should you ever decide to move here. I know two Canadian women here in the U.S., both of whom are active conservatives and display a degree of patriotism unmatched by most native born Americans. I hope you feel welcome on this forum; your participation is appreciated. Should you be interested, there is a sister news forum in Canada at www.freedominion.ca. Best regards, Ben
Thanks for the welcome. I think there is a conservative speech writer from Canada down there ¡V I can¡¦t think of his name right now. I will wait and see how bad it gets here in Canada first º Other than those that join the Hollywood crowd (M J Fox) I think it is very common to find Canadians in America who are twice the patriots most American liberals are. I think those Canadians want to participate in a free republic that limits the encroachment of government in their lives.
Oh, and yes, I have been to FD. It¡¦s been down for maintenance lately.
Cheers
As usual, the Dems accuse without evidence.
