Bill Gates bullies bloggers
Canada Free Press ^ | Friday, January 20, 2006 | Judi McLeod

Microsoft giant Bill Gates should pick up stakes and move to the Peoples Republic of China.

Gates should relocate to the world’s next superpower because that’s where his loyalties seem to be.

In a gaggle of business moves that underline allegiance to Communist China, Microsoft has now erased the popular Anti-Blog.

When Bubba was suing his pants off, I loved Bill Gates. When Bill Gates buddied up to the PRC, my love evaporated.

So Canada's liberal media doesn't like the fact that if company's want to do business in other countries, they have to play by the host country rules.

The only other option is to not do business in China. Some say that is a correct answer but those are also the same people who don't believe in capitalism and an open and free market...

I don't like having to play by other's rules but if I want in that market, and China is a huge growing market, then I have to play by their rules... sucks, but that's life...

Ya know, it also seems that many conservatives that complain (I say conservatives because liberals simply complain to complain and about everything) about China's policies and U.S. companies following those policies also claim to support the concept of national sovereignty for the U.S. and foreign companies following U.S. policies...

Billy Boy is a long-time, big demoncRAT supporter. Given that clintoon sold us to the Chinese and Billy Boy supported clintoon & hitlery for two terms, this is not surprising.

canadafreepress.com is not "Canada's liberal media". In fact, it is one of the few counters to the liberal media in Canada. The website's founder Judi McLeod has written for Newsmax.com, the Drudge Report, Foxnews.com, and World Net Daily.

PB, instead of dreaming about Gates ~ you should dream about fun things, like riding a motorcycle over a country two lane road at speed.

It's very invigorating. ;);)

If Gates was such a big Dem why did Clinton's Justice Dept try to bring him down?

I live on country two lane roads. You drive fast on those unmaintained roads and you die real quick. ;-)
