Meanwhile, the Obama Administration and worldwide socialists point at returning vets and Tea Party members as domestic terrorists.

I was filling up my truck the other day, and in front of me was a Minnesota plate, guy was probably around mid 50s. He was asking people where a pay phone was, his phone was down and he needed to call his wife for something. I knew pay phones aren’t that common, so I asked him if he voted for Obama, he said hell no lol. I said, you’re more than welcome to use my phone. Then we ended up talking a while, he gave me his number and address and told me to bring the family by sometime. You have to love real Americans heh.

It’s called High Treason, defined as taking up arms on behalf of an enemy of the Crown.

A lot of them are Canadian-born, second generation. Their parents came over to get away from the BS and the kids take it up. Another not-insignificant minority are white kids who converted.

Well, if Canada would become more American and stop following the U.K. with the Lawrence of Arabia foolery.

Little amendment here. I was referring to certain influential constituents up north and their inclinations in media and government. They’ve long paid to influence anti-U.S., pro-U.K. sentiments.

Another part of the problem is that of business, government and academic leaders in the West (incl. the U.S.) willing to take money from foreign nationals of very different cultures for easier immigration despite their cultures being most frictional with ours and more generally expensive for us.

With some immigrants (e.g., a move from Canadian culture to U.S. culture), costs of assimilation are very low for Americans in general. For some other immigrants, such costs are very high for us all. But look at who pays most of those costs: those who are already practically assimilated before moving.

No, the major question is WHY are these young men vulnerable to these influences.

Too many were given the name Sue at birth.

I’ve always had decent interaction with older Canadians....the younger generation, not so much.

Hasn't the world ALWAYS been this way?

Because the average Christian is wishy-washy about his beliefs and most are wimps. A friend of mine manages a local Salvation Army. He’s a dedicated Christian, but some Muslims came in and complained about the hymns and Chrisian music he was playing. We’re here to shop not be indoctrinated, etc.

Higher ups overruled him and now he mixes pop music in with Christian music. It’s the Salvation Army. Just tell them don’t shop here if you don’t like the music. They’ll stay for the prices.

This can be said about ALL religions; but since I claim and cling to Christ's offer of salvation; what you point out is painfully true to me.

So?

The Islamists will STILL bitch about the percentage CHRISTIAN music!

Canada's young men....

Category errors are very hard to overcome.

Yes, Canada, you gave them papers. But the papers were meaningless to them. You call them "Canada's young men", but they were not and are not yours.

“Canada’s young men” my ass. Having an open borders immigration policy doesn’t make you all one people. It just means you’re their current country of convenience.
