...about Islamics who "hate our freedoms," I always respond the same.

"Well, then, what about Canada?

"Their standard of living is on a par with ours.

"They have the same civil liberties, in fact, their more 'liberal' attitudes on some fronts might classify them as flaunting more of the 'freedom' Islamic radicals supposedly hate in us.

"Canadian security is certainly no tighter since most of the 9-11 hijackers entered Canada first, then came over to the U.S. to do damage. They would seem to be just as fat and happy, and maybe an easier target.

"So, then why aren't they being hit right and left?"

I've yet to garner much of an answer.

4. It's really not an "argument"...

...just a simple question with no simple answer.

If one of these people spouting the party line can give me a rational answer, I'm all ears. I'll give their reply and reasoning the respect it deserves.

It's just that I'm still waiting to hear it.

2. They don't hate Canada . . .

Wait, I know this one! Because they have health care, so they aren't really free! Right?
