About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Will this air on any of the big networks? Don't count on it.
Wow. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that crew.

What, that bunch of worn out, overweight, beerdrinking lawnchair commandos?
Well, you're right. They could probably brain you with a beer can from twenty yards without getting out of their chairs.
Great post Lance... Barry and his media eunuchs better run for cover, this is a story that won't go away no matter how much the media chooses to ignore it. The stoner in the WH is a sociopathic liar and a coward.
Troll, everyone gets old,but in the day,these guys did a lot more for their Country than the current C-In-C.
Show a little respect for these veterans.
foobert - that was my first thought. In the credits, these are the officers. The ones who've been there, and lately would have been the ones giving the orders rather than filling them (as they would have had to do, in order to be in the order-giving positions now).
Methinks CarTooner wasn't looking at the eyes.
Those in active service cannot speak. It's a SwiftBoatVeteransForTruth moment, though Obama never claimed to serve. He's also shown that, popular vote or not, he's not deemed worthy of command by those who've been on the sharp end of the stick.
Some deja vu....John Kerry.....swift boats.....
Truth is that Obama has been deceitful in many regards and he shouldn't complain when various groups have simply had enough and decide to speak up.
I'd lay even money that all of those guys inserted into Libya, backing Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, even at their advanced age, could have got the job done. Isn't 65 the new 40?
They could start up a new Special Ops regiment:
"Gerry At Tricks"
Sometimes you need to keep a couple of seasoned war horses around to let them know you still have what it takes.
Leaks, Lies, Libya...Lack of Leadership and last but not least: USELESS.
The "Obama-Nation(tm)" should retire into the wood work. If you haven't even the fortitude to save your OWN people, what good are you?
How many own goals are "Obama-Nation(tm)" going suffer before they give this "Choomer in Chief" his walking papers, so he can be bonged out; but not at other peoples expense?
Cheers

Going to hard to keep a lid on this for the next nine days.
Sad to think that the America which they served and fought for is a thing of the past and only in their imaginations. But, that may well be said for most nations on the earth right now.
The rot has started to permeate the highest levels of government and civil service to the point that it has become a monster with an insatiable appetite and no long is able to give back to its citizens and other nations but only consumes.
I feel sorry that these warriors have had to see their efforts and the lives of their fallen friends, fighting for freedom and liberty and justice, now burning up before their eyes and turning to ashes.
I would love to see them as the panel of questioners at a town hall meeting with Obama and Romney. That would be a debate well worth watching. O would be looking at floor the whole time.
Tooner - I know nothing about you and believe me I don't yearn to know anything more.
But I will tell you this - anyone of those guys could kick your sorry ass six ways to Sunday while sitting in their lawn chair and on their worst day.
You are a left sucking piss ant - and without knowing you or ever having met you - know this for sure.
When was the last time a US Pres. election was contested without either candidate having had any military service? My rough wiki-surfing says it hasn't happened since 1940.
In contrast, who was the last Canadian leader to have served at all? The list is embarrassing.
RW in Big C; and it shows. SH is the first PM who has a resume that doesn't include an unused Law Degree. Canadian politics has become so dirty a true vet would be unable to co-opt his ethics enough to win.
It will be interesting to see if this add has any effect on the undecided voter provided they get to see it. People willingly duped by an Obamma are so weak willed that they are usually slow to turn.

That's what I was saying. Sorry you didn't get it. I know guys like that. I could have said it to them and they'd have laughed and chucked a beer can at my head.
There's an old saying:
It's not the size of the dog in the fight.
It's the size of the FIGHT in the dog.
Seems apt.
Situation is reaching critical mass.
Should Obama be re-elected (read, steal this election,) there will be no way to work with congress to run this government, except by executive order and by appointing even more czars to do his dirty work. There are too many skeletons in the WH closets, too many democrats starting to ask embarrassing questions, too many business owners saying they can't operate under Obama's crushing regulations & taxes. Barry's version of socialism has been tried and found wanting, and people are starting to see Romney as the only way out of this mess.
Let's not forget that the military will not take the way they have been mistreated by the C-in-C lightly. Advance ballots have been denied to our forces, officers have been apparently ordered to stand down from rescuing American personnel for political reasons, and they have been lied to with such obvious disregard that some may soon cry "Enough!"
Can we change topic please?
As a comparison, Bush is responsible for over 6500 americans dead as a result the WMD lie. (http://icasualties.org/). And I am not even talking about the innocent civilians who died.
Don't usually respond to prompts by non- Canadians, NDP separiste @ 3:10 a.m.
Have you even wondered where the WMD now in Syria came from?
Waiting for the border at the East of Ontario; Cheers
Queerbeck NDPiss
and to further Mikesr's post, why did syria start building a nuke reactor in 2003 (the 1 isreal blew up in 07), could it be that the fully fuctional nuke lab found in Iraq was due to cooperation between the 2 nations????
try keeping up
Quebecois NDP separatiste >
"As a comparison, Bush is responsible...."
Yea, yea and P.E Trudeau is alive and well, we know.
Wait until the public figures out that the weapons used to kill the Ambassador, Seals, and arm the militia's in Mali were provided by Obamba to be used against Gaddafi.
Well Gaddafi and anyone else considered an infidel.
God bless these men. I can only imagine some of the operations in which they've participated. They must seem all for naught with the Obamanator "in power" (sic) at the White House.
The "Great Uniter" has managed to divide the U.S. like no one else. In the long run, the Obamanation may actually have done Americans a favour. He's certainly made this election a real choice: between freedom and democracy and lies and criminality.
I wish I could vote.
@TOONER
You owe noone an appology !! i read you roigional post fully !!!!
unlike the other morons who read the first sentence ..i got exactly what you were saying !!
And your right i rememebr watching a video on sun news network about an old retired seal ...who was confronted by his daughters wieghtlifting tuff boyfriend ...and he mopped the floor with him one punch ...and a few kicks and that was it !!!
Sorry i think it is was a british S.A.S.
Now there's a group of men.
Charles Woods, on Geraldo...speaking to Obama:
"It's better to die the death a hero, than it is to live the life of a coward".

Tooner @12:44 am
They could probably brain you with a beer can from twenty yards without getting out of their chairs.
SO TRUE!!!
Well, that's two of us who read tooner's post accurately.
Read first, react later is my motto.
Tooner, I had an uncle who could have done just that.
I'm guessing that Pearson was the last war vet. I think Trudeau was in the militia for a very short time. So was T.C. Douglas.
I think Joe Clark was the last non-graduate of a law school. He flunked out. Pearson did not have a law degree.
We are seeing history in the making. I am calling a decisive win for Mitt next month, and while Obama won't be surprised...the media will be shocked at how irrelevant they have become.
The Glob and Snail wants me to start paying for their on-line content. When those pasty faced socialists are ignoring stuff like this, one has to ask: exactly what "content" do you want me to pay for?

Tooner's comment is accurate. I've met plenty of these guys over the years at shooting matches, ranges on Saturday etc. Had one for a Latin teacher in high school for that matter. You don't screw around with them.
Recall also that Barry has not only thrown the CIA under the bus, he left 30 of their own to die. So the spooks are unhappy too.
It isn't that these men are particularly violent. They never are. Its that they know where all the levers and buttons are. They know people who owe them favors. They know where bodies are buried or know how to find out. They know how to make things happen.
Barry and the Chicago Machine just p1ssed ALL of them off. A lot.
So over the next week or so I wouldn't be surprised to see unpleasant secrets from Barry's past suddenly come to light. Formerly staunch supporters may mysteriously become much less supportive. Law enforcement officers may become extremely interested in people like Valerie Jarret and other big wheels in the Obama campaign.
Should Barry win, all manner of things may magically come to light about all manner of friends of his. Media people, Hollywood, big donors, all kinds of Barry supporters may be caught red handed doing all kinds of bad things.
That's what happens when you torque off both the samurai -and- the ninjas. The Mandate of Heaven gets passed along to someone more deserving.

Lester B.(Mike) Pearson. A ...gasp....Liberal!
Thanks NDP froggy for displaying your ignorance once again, as only a proghole can.
Look. They found mustard gas, sarin gas, and also mobil labs that could be used to create crap. You could also watch the convoys to Syria run for 6 months while Bush worked to get a coalition. Just because the media hid that info doesn't mean it wasn't there. Just like they are attempting to protect Obama on his Bengazi bungle by not reporting the truth we all have seen! I'd say wake the hell up but your indoctrination runs deep, and that leads to being stuck on stupid, which leads to supporting the progressive commie NDP.
Saddam murdered tens of thousands of Kurds with Mustard gas and fed political opponents into woodchippers head first but you are proggy enough to believe the liars who hate Bush but love Obamao.
You really are too ignorant to vote. We need a referendum on keeping Quebec in Canada. However, Quebecers will not be allowed to vote in it. Then we can dump you progressive parasites once and for all, laughing as you lurch towards bankruptcy ( which your idiotic, gretard ban on fracking will help bring in).
I know it is bad form to respond to trolls but WTF, I can't take the lunacy anymore.
Markon, you recall the chemical reaction vessels and missile engines from Iraq that ended up in scrapyards in Holland?

Lefties have very convenient memories.
Obama takes offense that people are implying that "in any way we haven't tried to make sure that the American people knew as information was coming in what we believed happened".
Weasel words from the head weasel.

doublethink: "To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed."(George Orwell, 1984)
