Strange, I hear a lot of the same crap coming our of Ottawa. I do believe it has something to do with the socialist government of Canada as well.

We forget so easily- in days gone by, there were other Weapons of Mass Destruction besides the ones we talk about today.
They were called machine guns, and in the first World War, they scythed down row after row of soldiers whose commanders were mired in the tactics of yesterday. Men died by the multiple thousands nad rotted where they fell.
Fast-forward a few years, to the days when totalitarians walked the world, right before World War Two.
Their men and minions carried submachineguns, and their citizens cowered before them- no peasant with a shotgun for hunting stood a chance of resisting them.
Now go forward a little more, to when the armies of Liberation, spearheaded by Americans shoved back the Axis powers.
Our men carried those little handheld WMDs too, but you know what?
They were welcomed and embraced, because the men holding them were good.
America has her faults, but we have been a force for good more often than not.
When disasters strike around the Globe, who is the first there?
America...

So vandals and criminals don't like President Bush? That's no different than in the US.
I was chatting with a friend in the Philippines a couple of weeks ago and she told me that she has seen Fahrenheit 9/11 (pirated DVD, I think) and that there is a connection between Bush and the Saudis and the war in Iraq therefore war in Iraq is immoral. She has also sent a copy of that to her husband who is currently in Papua New Guinea and to another relative in Singapore. (Hey, it's big news!!!) When I told her I haven't and and don't intend to esp since several lies have already been identified in the movie, she said: I must be very gullible. But really, can we blame the rest of the world for believing what is being fed to them by the media?
Democrats are so hypocritical in proclaiming so loudly that Americans are hated by the rest of the world when their own anti-Bush propaganda is causing it.
Thank you James Madison. Now EU, stew in it and watch.
Let's make a few things clear: (1) The Euros will never like us, they will only hate us a little less if they get someone like Clinton who sucks up to them (2) It appears the leftist influence has had a real deleterious effect on the rational thinking ability of many Euros and (3) ask me if I give a good g--d--- about what a bunch of ungrateful quasi-Marxist dopes, who by the way owe their freedom to us, think about a president who is determined to protect us. If these idiots hate Bush, then they hate one half of all Americans also.
