The election of Clinton in America does not excuse the behaviour of Bill Clinton. We, Americans, are repsonsible for electing him.

And, for sure, the election of Bill Clinton in America DOES NOT excuse the behavior of Canada. Canada is responible for their elected officials.

This argument that because we elected Bill Clinton, Canada should be allowed to "get away" with all manner of offenses and anti-Americanism is, imo, nothing but a bunch of BS.

Will all due respect, I think you missed the point of the article.

Canadian conservatives are taking our own government to task...not excusing them. We are fighting to get rid of the Liberals just like you fought to get rid of the Clintons.

We don't want you to "excuse Canada". Our government sucks, and the people who elected them need to feel your anger.

But many thousands of Canadians have never voted Liberal...and hundreds of us are dedicated conservative activists.

We need our American conservative cousins to help us defeat the Liberals, not to take potshots at us.

We are on the same side.

There are many people on this site who see that conservative Canadians are fighting for the same things they are, and they express their support for us...like we did for those of you who didn't vote for Bill Clinton.

But, for those people who choose to ignore the good things we are trying to do, and beat us up because of where we happened to be born...well, that attitude is no better than the attitude of our anti-American Liberal government, imo.

Clinton never did gain a plurality of the votes cast. He never did represent the majority. He was elected by the electoral college (which, btw, I'm all for). But if Perot hadn't split the vote in '92 or the pubbies had such a lame candidate in '96, Clinton would have lost both times. I've always felt that Dole was so lame, that Buchanan could have done a better job...

Sunsong, if you don't mind me saying, I'm beginning to think you are quite pathological in your fixation with Canada. Anti-Americanism is everywhere, all over the globe, even in your own country. What do you suggest? Do you suggest the U.S. start a war against every country that harbours anti-Americanism? Because you could then start in your own backyard. Sad thing is, it's people like you with your frankly twisted view on the world that help foment anti-Americanism. You're a real piece of work man.
