You think the mission in Afghanistan is a big, tragic mistake? Shame on you. You must hate Canada.
You believe we should get out -- now? Shame. You obviously hate freedom.

At least she is honest about how she hates those things.

Good post, fanfan. "How sad" that there is even one person who thinks like that article. Revolting.

There. I fixed it.

"It is both disturbing and scary."

Yes, it is disturbing that Islam wants to take over the world and make us all live in their intolerant, 11th Century world. And scary that there are people like her who unknowingly or even willing help them.

Looks like Mr. Harper is getting some stereotypical Canadians riled up.

Love it.

red shirt and blue pants every friday...

Does anyone remember when Limbaugh wore those clear plastic ribbons - signified - I do not care about anything.
I think he also wore a plaid one that signified I care about everything.
Yea, ribbons solve so much.

“No, your yellow ribbon or Friday red is actually saying: Yes, we should be in Afghanistan. And yes, I do approve of our military presence there.”

If there is any doubt for fools like Janice Kennedy, then yea wear stuff that reads:

“Yes, we should be in Afghanistan. And yes, I do approve of our military presence there.”

Duh.

"But your ribbon or Friday red is actually saying: Yes, we should be in Afghanistan."

Uh oh, what are we going to do about this attack on President Obama's policies. He says the "real war" is in Afghanistan and ought to be expanded into Pakistan after we get out of Iraq. How is a Lefty to keep up with those further left and there's always someone further left?

I thank them for supporting for four years. I hope that they will support individually than. I wonder how long the World War II wives would have supported the war if it lasted as long as this one. World War II wives get a lot of credit for the support but they were finished by this time of the war. They only had to have a war that was less than four years. These wives are going towards five. It is tough being in the military especially the wives. I know my wife has it tough sometimes. Of course she supports the military, America and the war, but I don’t think you have to wear a red shirt or yellow ribbon to show support to be honest. That is just a trend. To support the war and all that comes with it comes from the brain and a little heart.

You believe we should get out -- now? Shame. You obviously hate freedom.

Yup.

[Washi]

Interesting. Afghanistan is commonly used to provide cover for these anti-war, pacifist types. In order to not sound TOO moon-batish when they piss and moan about Iraq, they will preface their pacifist rants with "I supported going into Afghanistan, but..."

The truth is, of course, that a self-loathing Westerner is always a self-loathing Westerner and if the war in Iraq was not happening, they would all be pissing and moaning about Afghanistan.

At least this author is being honest about his anti-West beliefs.

[M203M4]

And it's everywhere. It's in the sprouting right across the land of those American-style yellow ribbon decals, second-hand imagery with a sad little Canadian flag to make it appear not second-hand.

Meanwhile, the author cheerfully partakes in her second-hand American-style anti-war campaign. The same language, same themes, etc used in the US regarding Iraq, except pathetically "Canadianized" so as to have at least a few superficial differences from those damn Americans. The Canadian left must be so jealous of the anti-Iraq-war campaign in America! "Me too, me too!"

That said, the desperation to manufacture some barrier of differentiation is pathetic and moronic. People are more divided by class and politics than by nationality and ethnicity. That will never change.

Hopefully our pals north of the border won’t make the same mistake we did by not demonizing and ostracizing people who support the enemy.

Hey Janice, our soldiers ARE heros, not victims - they volunteered for this job. I would think a writer would know the difference.

"It's become nasty out there, and stifling."

Finally he/she/it said something I agree with. This exercise in hand-wring and teeth-gnashing is totally unnecessary, but they insist on making it.

The "how dare you question my patriotism" when you clearly display that you have none has become wearisome. If they don't wish to be called traitors, stop acting treasonous!

Yes, it has become nasty out there, you insisted on it, and now you're whining because we are increasingly calling you on it. If you can't take the heat, STFU!

[navyguy]

Hey Janice... The savages in Afghanistan that you defend send their Thanks. Your bestest buddies have a message for you:

[navyguy]

Correction!

[goldstategop]

Liberals of course are patriotic as long as it doesn't involve real sacrifices. The first casualty, then they turn tail and cut and run. Janice Kennedy wants glitz patriotism, patriotism on the cheap that refuses to stomach the fact freedom is a legacy that comes with a cost. Liberals love to spend money on endless government programs that provide little real value but they protest spending a single dollar on their country's defense, that offers big rewards at minimum expense. If they were really interested in supporting the troops, they would never turn them into a political football.
