Foe

   

Friend

   

American Republicans stink.
American Democrats are ok.

   

Care to elaborate, or should we just take your word for it.

   

You cannot place the entire population's support under the Bush Administration. More than half of the populous did not support the Republicans in the 2004 election.

There has always been a fine line between those who govern and those who are governed. Those that are governed do not have any say in policy once a government has been elected. I realize democracy in Greek means 'governed by the people', but in reality this is not the case. Society is structured as a hierarchy where the power is concentrated at the top. Basically what I'm trying to say is that you can't blame the events of 9/11 on all of America. Just those who were responsible for electing another Republican President.

Furthermore, you can't generalize all of America and its population with a single issue like 9/11. Calling America our enemy is not just incorrect, it's illogical.

Banff, care to elaborate?

   

Republicans are either bigoted religious fanatics or greedy corporatists or both they seek world domination ... like imposing their views on others and stealing their resources. Democrats are normal.

   

Ah, thank you for clearing that up, you are a bigot. It's hard to believe you argue for fair treatment of indians.

   

I am seriously opposed to the Bush government. I doubt they've done much good for Native Americans.

   

sure I agree with you infact there are many americans who oppose their current government and there are many libs too . Its impossible to follow GFPBs poison standard because no people do not represent their current Gov patrioticly . It would be like saying we are all Cons . The political agenda and ruthless corporate america outweighs the Good of the people . The People ? yes the people infact I wouldn't have this house if it wasn't for an american freind . I've seen far to much damage brought to Canada by this elephant we sleep with . The Liberals knew it and so did Mulroney and Harper better not give to much head to the US otherwise we will become US slaves or worse , peasants . Sounds confusing and maybe even contradictory but its not . I have alot of american freinds but I don't let that stand in the way of reality . Regarding 9/11 53% of Canadians are cautious not stupid and realize they could have easily been one of the 3000 people . Not a nice thought and I'm sure they feel this way about those who did die infact there were Canadians who died in 9/11 .

   

If we are their enemies, aren't they even worse enemies to themselves?


And yet, here you are quoting an editorial by someone who works at the Hoover Institution.

Do you know who Hoover was? He was the US president whose failure to regulate financial institutions caused the Great Depression. Depression-era shantytowns which the homeless built in the 1930s were named "Hoovervillles" after him, and he was considered such a catastrophic failure that the Republican party was driven out of power for decades afterwards. They lost the presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Sorry, but this thread caused my irony meters to peg.

   

friend. I can't believe the poll is 8-8. Half of the voters said our BEST friend is our foe? I don't even want to know what you guys think of our enemies than.

And I don't understand how people say 'i hate the government but not the people'....the government represents the people, its not a dictatorship. would you say the canadian government doesn't represent you?

   

I forgot to vote

   

Definately friend.
More and better friends than much of the flakey left members here.

   

Well i was thinking about this the other day.

most people who know me are aware that i believe that the US has been the staunchest ally of Canada for Decades, and we have tried to be the same for them - though not always suceeding.

Ive noticed a severe taint of anti-americanism amongst liberal/NDP types for years now, whether it has to do with trade negotiations, the so-called "culture creep" , The current war for Freedom agsint Terror - what ever fits the bill for the current crop of liberals.Probably the highest point for the America-Haters in this country is when the media-whore Carolyn Parrish attained the summit of her otherwise drab politicla career by stomping on a doll of George Bush to the snickers of the usual sort of CBC robots out there

What is amusing is that Liberals/NDP types generally say they dont hate americans, they just hate the government and specifically President bush, but they tend to overlook conviently that they have also turned thier nose up at Democrat Presidents as well. The rality is that Liberal/NDP types hate america and constantly say we dont want to be americans. It dinally comes down to the basic political line that the Liberals/NDP types are incapable of defining themselves as anyhting other than 'We're not them".


But of course the liberal party is corrupt, and some NDP types called canadian soldiers terrorists. Thats what defines them

   

Way to generalize moron. Okay, I'll play. All natives are drunk, lazy glue sniffers!
Back to the thread. Definitely friend, couldn't think of a better neighbour other than Australia!
