Naturally. Canadians are mainly the lapdogs of US liberals.
The American democratic experiment has been successful in many ways. Millions of people around the world look to the United States as a model in their search for freedom, dignity, and prosperity. But the continuing success of American democracy depends on the degree to which each new generation, native-born and immigrant, makes its own the moral truths on which the Founding Fathers staked the future of your Republic. Their commitment to build a free society with liberty and justice for all must be constantly renewed if the United States is to fulfill the destiny to which the Founders pledged their "lives . . . fortunes . . . and sacred honor."
John Paul II
Pure Marxist BS. The Russians got to Berlin eating American grown food, marching in American made boots, supplied by American made trucks, with weapons repaired and maintained by American made tools carried to the Russians on American made trains. Since Easter Europe were not a freed by the Sovs, and only American lead Cold War made them free from either Nazi or Sov domination, Thompson's statement is correct and this author a silly ass.
Just kidding.
LMAO, this is some pretty humorous stuff. Fred’s wife cajoled him into running...
I thought the student editor, or at lest the teacher would give thumbs up or down on eighth grade diatribes like this.
I’ll bet the kid got free hamburgers for a week and enough acne jel to last for three months for writing this sophmoric fender bender.
He made Fred’s case very nicely. We are slow to enter wars and we do so for the benefit of freedom.
Ping.
Here’s one for the FRead, jb.
"the Soviets only got into the war after being attacked"
Nazi-Soviet Pact...Russo-Finnish War.
So this guy basically makes tha accusation that there are a group of see-no-evil Americans who will react in a certain way to the statements he makes and then, naturally the FR horde proves him right.
The real point to be made here is not necessarily what gets a country into a war. It is what that country does after it wins a war. Those nations that were “liberated” by the Soviets are now just emerging from their half-century of “liberation”. Whereas within 15 years of being occupied by America, most countries are paragons of freedom, wealth and responsibility.
The problem with Iraq was by no means the motive or intention - it was the unbelievably incompetent and negligent mismanagement that is inherent in this administration. WWII gives some very good lessons as to the number of boots on the ground it takes to win the peace.
“In eight foreign wars since the late 19th century, the Post found, 623,288 Americans lost their lives. But Soviet losses in the Second World War alone were an order of magnitude greater than that and it was the Soviet Union’s victories in the east that broke Nazi Germany’s back and led to the liberation of Europe.”
This guys about as nutty as a fruitcake. The Soviets weren’t sacrificing their lives for the freedom of others. They weren’t even sacrificing their lives for their own freedom. They were defending Joe Stalin.
“Thus, Hillary has little experience in management and less in elective office. She has no original ideas that anyone has been able to discern. She has embraced no particular cause. She just seems terribly interested in being president; it is widely believed her smart and ambitious wife cajoled her into running.”
And yet he only mentions a few... what about the rest of the eight? How did we fail to fight for freedom in Korea and the others? And interesting that he fails to note the most important, and bloodiest, American war... the American Civil War, where each side was fighting for freedom, as they saw it.
“relaxed work ethic”
Liberal buzz-words for “limited government”.
They see a laissze faire (sp?) government as *lazy*.
This guy says it was the USSR who broke the Nazi’s back and that the USSR only invades when attacked. What about Poland?
What about all the countries under Communism which were made part of the USSR after WWII? Can Mr. Gardner likewise show which countries we ‘claimed’ for the USA? USSR took half of Germany. If we hadn’t been there, all of Europe would have been behind the ‘iron curtain’.
This Gardner guy is NO student of history OR facts. Someone needs to confront him and teach him the difference between truth and lies.
Soviets won WWII for us -
straight out of the USSR History books.
Oh, you have to love leftists.
Let me re-phrase the above into what we hear from the left:
"Nothing to be proud of. Never did anything noble in 231 years of history. Nothing."
You know, this is great, actually. A leftist getting upset because a candidate isn't trashing his country. All we have to do, folks, is draw them out and expose them, and the battle is won.
Imagine the liberal press beginning an article this way...
'You know" screeched Hillary Clinton at a recent rally...
Okay so there isn't an "s" in 'You know', but you get my point.
Small little man with a small little mind, in a small little cubicle, somewhere in Ottawa,
Fiercely typing away, on a spittle specked keyboard, about his rabid jealousy of, and hatred for, America and Americans.
Sad little fellow.
Pity him if you can.
The writer is a liar. Fred said neither of these things and most conservatives believe neither of these things. Fred said, and most conservatives believe, that America has done more for others' liberty and that America is usually relatively goodhearted.
