twila and pea: Good posting. Good common sense.

actually , gotta confess that it is sort of funny to see how defensive "Americans' get. But , in all seriousness, It is understandable as they are in the spotlight now and being scrutinized as never before. In a way this is a consequence of their own doings. Reality is , that this has been building up for some time. .....and maybe we are seeing it more clearly now. Suspect that sociologists might be able to explain this phenomena .

Anti-Americanism exists long before Iraq, Ocean. We have always been scrutnized, this isn't anything new.

I'll give an example of Rev's tacit nod bullshit on the Serbian war.

No UN approval. Hence illegal. Why didn't anyone complain about it as much as the verocity about Iraq? I'll tell you why, because all the NATO members were knee deep in it.

Yes yes Peapod, you "admire" the vietnam protestors, and you like american literature and you believe we have an interesting history. I know all this about you, but speak for yourself, not for this "board"

You admired him for what he is today or as President? Because in my opinion he has done alot more after his Presidency than in it.

What you've done is give an example of your own hypocrisy. The UN did give a tacit nod and, if you've read my posts on the subject, you know that I don't agree with that. If you knew what you were talking about, you would also know that there were people speaking out against what happened there as well.

You and your buddy Jim Moyers seem to think that we should still be speaking out against that war as loudly as we are speaking out against Iran and other current examples of US imperialism though...even though the Serbian deal is over and done with.

And yet you always bring up US history when it suits your agenda, isn't that right Rev?

RE: Canadians Moving to t

I bring it up when it is relevant to the discussion, as it often is when you are claiming that your country has never done anything wrong and has never hurt anybody. Since the things you say are highly inaccurate, it needs to be pointed out that there is a pattern. That pattern is especially clear when there is a Republican in the White House, but it is certainly not limited to Republicans.

You're a liar. Plain and simple. I have repeatedly accused my country and Bush, but that isn't enough for you, I have to follow the "socialist" model to meet your definition of fairness.

I think, gentle peapod, that you may want to start reading yourself. Anyone who says anything postive about the US gets tagged with the "GWB lover, anti-Canadian, move to US, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, its so good down there why don't you go, don't let the border guards hit your ass on the way out" Fuddle Duddle comments so fast it makes the thread smoke. I know, I have been the target of all of them. So while those of us who respond as Twilas first post said may be wrong, you who respond as I have said are equally as wrong.

Actually, ITN has repeatedly said he does not support GWB, so for rev to say that he does not criticize his government and is an apologist is, well, gee, :oops: a lie.

You either purposely spin Pea or you can't read. When he tells me I'm part of an ilk, that I accuse people of being anti-American when criticising Bush. He's twisting and Lying. Plain and simple.

You gotta be kidding me, you think I read all the crap around here. You called the rev a liar...now you prove it. What has he lied about or are you just going to call him a liar without any evidence. Lets see where he has lied. Stop messing around and show your proof.

RE: Canadians Moving to t

How many times have you accused me of being anti-American for criticising US policy, think not? How many times have you tried to justify US policies that are clearly killing people? How many times have you tried to change the subject when somebody had the audacity to point out the absolute immorality of what your country is doing in this world?

Show what proof???? READ UP!!!!!! He spins and lies about what I say and I'm sick of it. Everyone that isn't on the left for him has an "agenda" and is part of an ilk or gets paid to troll. WTF?
