  1. I responded: “Obama, we forgive you because you usually talk nice. Now please start your attack on our ally Pakistan.”

  2. Obama made it to the Senate on a fluke in his district, he got lucky, he’s a slick media annointed politcal neophyte whose idiotic foreign policy statements(invade Pakistan!)would be trashed with the resounding fury it deserves if the press was more responsible.
    I doubt he can define very much about Canada. Obviously his handlers left him stranded on that one.
    Most likely he’ll be on Hillary’s ticket to capture the black vote. They so richly deserve each other.

  4. The cloistered Kankistani Left believe the Dems are the peace party but ignore the fact that it has been the dems and their presidents who waged the greatest wars we have known.

  5. True….. the Dems historically have been in the position of holding power in the US at the time of major escalations in international conflicts.
    My observation has been that they have also been the cause of inaction and bad policy that led to these escalations.
    Right now the Dems are dominated by the most clueless bunch of pink hearted liberals that have ever found their way to public office in the US.
    This is bad for everybody! Unless the American public wakes up to their BS there are tough times ahead.

  6. George W. Bush is the most pro-Canadian US President in my lifetime. This is perhaps not saying a great deal, but their job descriptions don’t include looking after Canadian interests.
    It is notorious that most US wars have been started by Democrats.

  7. At least MOST Canadians, unlike the Harperite smalldeadbraincell crowd does NOT have our nose up Bush’s ass – believing his lies about WMD and other war mongering right wing Republican crap!
    Oh and David Mclean … don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
    Right wing losers … destoying Canada one day at a time!

  10. I always laugh when Liberals talk about how great Democrats are and what a boon for Canada a Democratic President would be.
    1. US Democrats are more right wing than Canadian Conservatives.
    2. US Democrats are extremely protectionist. Ontario Liberals should be weary of a US Democratic President & Congress. It will hurt their industrial sector.
    3. Canada has never had better relations with the US than it did with Brian & Ronbo. Brian had the ear of Ron, and Ron listened. Say what you will about smilin’ Brian, but because he had the ear of the POTUS Canada had international clout.

  11. Obama is nothing more than a junior senator. He lacks the political clout and experience that is gained through years and years of serving in congress. He is a charismatic coloured person with the gift of golden speech. The Magic Negro.
    Hillary is similar,a junior senator as well.
    Neither one of tham have nearly enough experience to lead a country, let alone the USA, and that is precisely why the GOP are going to take the next election, hands down.

  12. Quick, name a US senator that has ever been elected to the White House. How many have tried and failed.

  13. MaryT – a point well taken. Most US Presidents don’t come from Congress. Americans prefer Governors, Mayors, anything but Congress, and it makes sense, we can evaluate their executive skills in another setting. Besides, stay too long in Congress and you become a hack with a voting record that you can’t hide.

  14. Shame on Barrack for suggesting that America target those responsible for the Sept. 11 attack.
    As to the president misstatement, I can understand his confusion, with our shoddy federal leadership and mistaken policies; I’m starting to believe Bush is involved.

  15. I think that Hillary will win the Democratic nomination, and she’ll have Obama as her running mate – for the black vote. Then, she’ll have Bill Clinton as her shadow running mate. That triad is going to appeal to a lot of Democrats. The fact that it’s a regressive ‘triadic set’ isn’t the point. I’m speculating but I think that the Democrats are ‘stuck in the 70s’ and their focus on ‘feel good’ collectivist socialism aka Woodstock, doesn’t provide any policies for a modern USA.
    The Republicans are going to have to come up with a dynamic duo; I think the real problem in 2008 and on will not be the Iraq situation, for I’m going to speculate that this will have moved into a more stable, slow, movement of progress by then. That is, I’m speculating but I think that the tide is slowly turning against Islamic fascism. The important thing in this situation is to force the fascist fight back into the ME states, so that they must, themselves, reject tribalism and enable their population to move into a middle class. It’s happening.
    I think the real US problem is the changing demographics of the USA – with that massive offloading by Mexico of its lower class onto the USA. And, internationally, I think it’s the growing globalization network and the inclusion of China and India into the capitalist economy. Will it be Guiliani and Romney? No idea, but I don’t think that 1970s sophisms will work.

  17. ET,
    Keep in mind that Bill only won because of Ross Perot and Steve Forbes acting as spoilers (each taking approx. 20% of the vote hiving off more from the GOP than the Dems. In a 51/49 country, that matters. You could safely say that Bush owes his presidency to that twit Ralph Nader.)
    Clinton got around 40% of the vote yet leftards believe Bush isn’t legitimate with 49%.
    Without a spoiler, Hillary will lose to a moderate republican (but win against a fire-and-brimstone member of the religious right like Mitch Romney.) Hillary is like the scummy part of Bill without the charisma. I’d prefer Hillary to most Dems but that isn’t saying much.
    Obama’s only qualification for the job is that he’s sorta black and speaks well. He’s empty beyond that.

  19. bryanr,
    JFK? Look how that one turned out. I’d have to say that aside from the space program (which worked,) he screwed up everything else he did till he got shot.
    And he started the vietnam war which the leftards always blame on the Republicans.

  21. warwick: My reply to mary is only an answer to a question not a political debate as too whether kennedy was a good pres or not, However that would be a good debate someday.

  22. bryanr,
    I didn’t take it as an endorsement of JFK, just as a reply to Mary. No slur intended.
    I just can’t let mention of JFK go without a shot at JFK. Same with Peanut Jimmy the worst president in history (I’d put JFK in the top 3 or 4.)

    Leftdog, by all means lets talk about who has done most to destroy Canada and that would be PET and his protege Cretin. What did Cretin’s years of inaction produce other than Billions flushed down the sewer on idiotic programs such as gun registry which instantly turned tens of thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens into crimals. With the two billion wasted on that garbage legislation Canada could now have a much stronger and vigorous all year presence in the far north. Instead Harper has to rush to play catch up to checkmate the Ruskies. Now tell me again who destroys the country.

  24. warwick-back at ya(no slur intended)
    i have very limited memories of kennedy other then the day in november as i was only 7 at the time & it was announced over the school loudspeakers & we were sent home, my mother sitting at the tv crying watching our only channel, reporting very sketchy details, she thought we would be at war by weeks end. Top 3 iam not sure, those were trying times what with the racial marches, cuban missile crisis, communist march on the vietnam penninsula & the space race. Now I think that our PM is faced with not quite the same but still some trying times ahead, Aphgan, Terrorism, arctic encroachments(now the Danes are on the move,again)Internal strife(canada provincial concurns)Enviroment issues, So only history will be the judge its just too bad that the media is the jury.

  25. On the Democrat side, none of the people running for President have the background and experience to be qualified. Joe Biden looks like the adult in the room, and that is scary.
    The Republican side isn’t a lot better. Ron Paul? Tom Tancredo?

  26. Well, it’s an interesting proposition, but I think that the reverse is a bigger factor.
    It seems to me that the biggest impediment to Canadian and US relations has been the Canadian left.
    The agenda of the Canadian left has seemed to Americans an intentional desire to make Canada as virulently anti-American as possible.
    It has only been a few years since conservative bloggers like Kate and since the Harper election that the relationship between our two countries has started to normalize.
    So from the point of view of Americans, really, good relationships, to the extent they are political, lie with the diminishment of the Canadian left.

  27. It’s always amusing to come across Clinton supporters and Liberal Party of Canada supporters who complain about GWB “lying.”
    Lying is what you dig, dudes and dudettes.

  28. “Quick, name a US senator that has ever been elected to the White House.” Mary T
    How about former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson 2008?

  31. The average American probably couldn’t locate 3 Canadian cities on a map but the Democrats have blindly accepted Canadian-Style Health care as policy. I actually think that the Democrats have surpassed the LPC and are somewhere approaching the NDP on the continuum of socialism.
    Canadians aren’t really on the US radar except as a kind of distant socialist utopia in the minds of many Democrats. US Politicians of both parties are mostly concerned with pork. That’s how they have managed to achieve record levels of Federal Debt.
    The Dems have recently managed to pass legislation allowing the import of Pharmaceuticals from Canada which could ultimately shut down their availability in Canada. Drug developers may not be able to recoup costs from price-controlled regimes like Canada with increased volumes freely flowing South.
    Not only are the Dems bad for Canada, they are a disaster for the US and the entire free world.

  33. The US Dems cover a spectrum that starts somewhere in the left third of the Cdn Tories and ends up somethere to the left of the NDP – yikes! Seriously, you have Koe Lieberman (a guy who would probably fit comfortably in the middle of the Tories) all the way through Sheila Jackson Lee, with complete wingnuts like the Birchers thrown in for good measure.
    Ultimately, it really doesn’t matter whether a US President “likes” or knows a lot about Canada. It is a nice bonus, but all that really matters is trade policy. Despite bing a Dem, Clinton understood that Free Trade is good, and got NAFTA passed. There are a lot of vested interests working in the us Congress against freer trade – and not many for. Whatever else he may have done, Canada should be thankful to Clinton for his stance on trade. Obama would clearly be a disaster – Hillary is, at heart, a power-made pragmatist, so it could go either way with her.

  34. Actually Kennedy and Harding were the only 2 senators to go straight from Senate to President.
    On the other hand, there have been 15 senators who later became Presidents.
    R Nixon, L Johnson, JF Kennedy, H Truman, W Harding, B Harrison, A Johnson, J Buchanan, F Pierce, John Tyler (his quote on self destructing democracies is interesting), W Harrison, M Van Buren, THE Andrew Jackson, JQ Adams, J Monroe.
    The senate is a good training ground for future presidents and lets people decide whether the person is a leader or not.
    I argued this exact case in the 1980s for an elected Canadian senate but, alas, the Luddites were in control of the nation.
    The future is friendly, therefore there is no charge for this service.

  35. very good rockyt, now name US generals that became president.
    and for Canada , name concientious objectors who became prime minister, and name prime ministers and their parties who called in the troops into the streets of canada(Im not making this up)

  36. I would bet that the Democrats would think taking over Canada would be positive for their party. They would immediately allow all Canadians the vote. The majority of Canadians would vote Democrat rather than Republican, and the 51/49 split would be a thing of the past. The Dems would win the next five elections.

  37. I am appointing you Cal2 to my election team immediately, if not sooner.
    Your file on the classification of miscellaenous of useless information exceeds mine by far.
    (BTW, I have chevy 350 blowing white smoke, what should I check first?)
    Welcome to the Useless Team, which I am using until I can find a better name. Heh.

  38. “What did Cretin’s years of inaction produce other than Billions flushed down the sewer on idiotic programs such as gun registry which instantly turned tens of thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens into crimes.”
    I believe it was CONDUCT contrary to the law that turned all those otherwise law abiding (sure), penis deficient, citizens into criminals. I would also attribute a significant portion of the excessive costs to their intransigence.
    “I’m speculating but I think that the Democrats are ‘stuck in the 70s’ and their focus on ‘feel good’ collectivist socialism”
    I’m not speculating when I say the Republicans are ‘stuck in the 50s’ (I just can’t decide whether it is 1950 or 1850), perhaps an amalgam. Victorian era morality and scientific obeisance (embryonic stem cell research, climate change, creation science?) with the admixture of 1950’s paranoid xenophobia.
    “It has only been a few years since conservative bloggers like Kate and since the Harper election that the relationship between our two countries has started to normalize.”
    The fact that Harper turned out to be an obsequious little truckler hasn’t hurt our relationship, either. I think I know what you mean by “normalize” too, eh boss.

  39. Washington, Jackson, W. Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, A. Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B. Harrison, and Eisenhower
    Trudeau
    Trudeau and Cretian— october crisis and january 1999 to sweep the streets of toronto.but the libs constantly reference troops on our streets for Harper.
    Ill gladly join.

  42. Kate: one blog I used to visit had an “ignore this person” button. Would that be difficult to implement for SDA?

  43. Whatever party rules the US they will not be kind to Canada. They need our natural resources that is all.
