Free Republic

Thank you for posting this! I had never seen the Trevor Loudon video referenced in the Canada Free Press article, and if any of you Freepers - American or Canadian - haven’t seen it, I urge you to take the time. It’s about 30 minutes long. (Sorry, I’ve forgotten how to correctly post the link.)

How can you definitely tell the guy on the left is Canadian, Jack?

I’m Canadian, and he looks just like any of the occupy crowd all over the US to me.

Be careful with your broad brush.

Not a bad idea — you’d be very welcome — and J D Fortune came from there too (lots of good-looking Nova Scotians.) That’s where my family settled originally, (”New Scotland”) before moving west to explore the mountains and the prairies. I have traveled extensively in the U.S. and Canada, and everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve been made to feel welcome and “at home”. There are only three states I haven’t yet been to - Hawaii, Alaska and Washington State. But Alaska is high up on my list.

I am also just educating American Freepers.

I must respond to your post. It is true that the left-wing CBC is “left-wing”, and hopefully they will be forced to stand on their own or fall (hoping for a fall), because I hate any of my tax dollars going to them, but .... on the other hand, how about NPR and PBS in the U.S? They aren’t biased? They aren’t left-wing? So a plague is on both our houses, right? But our “Fox News of the North”, our fledgling Sun News Network, is making headway here — maybe you should change channels..... besides, there are other networks in Canada other than the CBC. In my experience, Canadian television is a mirror-image of U.S. television, same shows, etc., except for local advertising. So don’t paint everyone with the same brush, we are very diverse in our makeup and opinions - and have you noticed we now have a majority CONSERVATIVE government? (We got OUR hope and change, lol!)

I have family, friends, business acquaintances in the U.S.A. I was born in Canada, and love the ties we have with America and the wonderful American people. Please do not assume that Canadians who spout anti-American rhetoric speak for all Canadians - they do not, just as I’m assuming that you do not speak for all Americans with your anti-Canadian rhetoric.

Well - ACTUALLY - This Canadian DOES care what happens to America and Americans. This Canadian is sick at heart that this Abomanation was elected as President with all his left-wing czars. This Canadian knows that Canadian schools DO NOT teach that Americans are evil. This Canadian is proud to know and like Americans, and knows they are the salt of the earth. This Canadian also knows that you are NOT a good Canadian, an average Canadian, or a thinking Canadian. Stop spouting your anti-American nonsense and go and get a life.

Heck, I’m from Canada and I’m 33% Dixie -— add a little bit of my heart and that would make it closer to 60%....

Yes, it was felt in Toronto Canada. Apparently originated north of Ottawa on a fault line near the St. Lawrence River area.

It was quite a shaking for me, because we just don’t get them here very often. The house did sway, and my computer monitor did too. My rabbit was very scared, thumping away like crazy. Lasted approximately 30 seconds, with some after-shaking.

I live in Toronto - and I certainly felt it - the room shook, my computer monitor actually swayed back and forth - and my rabbit (upstairs) began thumping loudly and madly to show his fear. It lasted approximately 15-20 seconds. When I stood up, I swayed in concert with the waving room. I did hear a sound precede the shaking, sort of a muted growl. I thought there had been an explosion outside, then realized it was an earthquake - so very rare here.

If you listen to the ‘Man on the Street’ interviews Sean Hannity conducts on Thursday afternoons, and the lack of knowledge the interviewees have on any subject, in this survey it could easily be just that they don’t even know what capitalism is. They could be thinking of the big banks or the big corporations - especially since that’s how the media portrays capitalism - and not free enterprise in general. A lot depends on how the pollsters posed the questions. Maybe they should have asked them first if they know what capitalism is —

Thanks. I needed that.

Back to iceboxes, root cellars, kerosene lanterns, candles, and smoke signals.

I heard a suggestion on either Rush or Hannity or Mark Levin (one of them) recommending when they come to the door to delay them by talking and talking, asking questions, challenging their answers, etc. so they will run out of time getting to your neighbors, (and tell your neighbors to do the same.)

Welcome, new freeper!

I believe that cutting to the chase is a good policy. Concentrate on what is urgent and important, ignore the things you can’t immediately address, and focus, focus, focus on what must be done. Obviously, the message needs to be concise and to the point to get attention and gain a following. And a unified front would be nice......

I think they will gain HUGE satisfaction with a McCain-Palin victory. After all, Sarah as Vice-President, will be making history. They will be able, with pride, to say they were a part of it, in a spirit of co-operation, and to do what is right for the country.

“Every time I see Combes all I can think is “I hate that little weasel” and my mind gets stuck.”

I know what you mean, exactly. He makes my skin crawl. I usually tune out when he’s on and keep checking back to catch some Hannity. I love it when the weasel gets his ears boxed by some of the guests. Or when they refuse to let him outshout them.

If you can tune in to Mark Levin - do it!!!!

Under the Mark Levin Show, you can access audio and get free replays of the shows, including the current daily show, if you give them about an hour to set it up.

I start listening to Rush at noon, then Sean Hannity, then Mark Levin. 8 hours a day, while I’m working on my computer. (From home, of course - I am my own boss, and my boss allows me to listen.)
