I'd like to tell him what my mother had to say about living through the Depression!


His attitude is somewhat akin to those who trivialize JFK's accomplishments, forgetting that he backed us down from nuclear war during the Cuban Missle Crisis!

...I don't particularly agree with him most of the time, but he certainly has a way of going about it that's enjoyable sometimes from an artistic perspective. I think this time he's served the purpose of demonstrating the failings of common view that diminishes the accomplishments of Mr. Obama.

It isn't the good citizens of the USA who are refusing to buy Canadian Oil, it is the blood sucking international oil companies who are shipping it off to China as fast as they can. The oil brought by the Keystone pipeline is to be refined and exported from the US.

I am surprised the Canadians did not complain about an arab stereotype that was right from the bottom of the belt. "egg sucking dog?" The point I made is, Canada is set so that people cannot just scream out "I GOT MY FIRST AMMENDMENT RIGHTS!" when they say something outright bigoted, so I think the Ottawa paper was a bit low. We would expect that sort of cartoon down in Dixie.
