Glad I’m not the only one who understands this, here.

Thanks.

[fieldmarshaldj]

RIP.

Thank you, that’s very interesting.

btw, I have always wondered about your tag line. I respect your devotion to your friend.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”

bump that Para-Ord...

and like SirHale, i dont much see all the 'shades of gray' that others wanna tiptoe around with...a commie is a commie is a commie, and eff em all...

im to a point where i can no longer tolerate those who would kill me and my children by legislative stealth as quickly, if not moreso than if they were handed a rifle and given the choice between offin us and a loaf of bread...

fatdeadted of olsmobile fame would be fair game, but a murdering [legislatively, at least] scumbag from up north gets the *respectful* sendoff as some sort of dignitary...???

once upon a time, Americans would shoot commies/socialists/tyrannical oppressive a-holes, not cry for em...

“Now he works for the CRTC. That’s not exactly something to be proud of.”

Well, I disagree with many of the CRTC’s positions, but I am proud of my husband and what he has accomplished. I haven’t done the same (been able to rise to top positions and be able to speak and write French). I understand French and interview people all the time, but I can’t write it.

[buccaneer81]

I understand. I didn't mean it personally. I work in Big Pharma and catch flak all the time.

As an American who lived in Canada for seven years (Mount Allison, Class of 1985) I always despised the 40% domestic content rule. That proved to me that the ruling liberal class of Canadians were incredibly controlling and insecure.

a lot of us are former military men, but that doesn’t prevent us from showing a shred of humanity.

[craum]

Thanks, Laz. Well said.

[Lazamataz]

Just wait until we have your obituary thread. ;)

Let's have it now, while I'm alive, so I can at least enjoy it!

[Dead Corpse]

It's almost embarrassing that your posted needed to be said. HERE of all places...

You'd think "our" side would know better than to have sympathy for the Devil.

[hiredhand]

Liberals are evil. They make a grand attempt at normalizing evil, and bringing us all to the same low standard. As long as they’re unrepentant and practicing evil, the more that die off the better. Ditto for those that sympathize, enable, and support them willingly in any way.

[NFHale]

This whole episode has been ridiculous.

[hiredhand]

Yep! But not so much for what you said... rather that we have participants here who have to be reminded that it's bad business to dance with the devil.... so to speak. :-)

[NFHale]

Roger that, bro.

decency?

Caught in bed with an underage hooker and wanted more abortions?

decency?

[GeronL]

basically outlawing opposition (see Steyn, Levant) speech to the point of throwing the book at a comedian over a gay joke aimed at a heckler is not hardball?

[AngryMan0]

Things are so bad in Canada that the “conservatives” are to the left of the democrats. We than a choice between liberals and socialists and your democrats (AKA the conservatives).

It's sad that Jack Layton NDP, didn't outlive his ideological fathers, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.

[pyx]

That should be, QUOTE BOTH his ideological fathers UNQUOTE
