It is time to stand up for your country.

[liberty]

here's looking at you, kid....

I don't get it?

[Scooter]

Gee., thanks lib, that's ever so magnanimous of you.

It is called the Golden Rule. I know it seems corny to some, but there are those that believe in it.

Detecting sarcasm isn't exactly your forte, is it?

[liberty]

This is a question for anyone of the plan b six who voted yes: What is your definition of imperialism that fits the US?
Do you really think the US is stealing (taking by some unfair measures) the resources of other nations?

[Lord Jim]

lib, I believe a couple of them have already posted saying that they didn't accept the definition that you posted after you started the poll....

I voted yes to piss you off!

Well thank you very much at last you were forth coming. But what you are saying is that you don’t really an opinion on the subject. Unlike some, I would have respected your opinion even if I did not understand it.

[Sean]

If you respect opinions so much lib, why are you asking those who voted 'yes' in the poll to justify theirs?

[liberty]

Well then, what is their definition?

[Lord Jim]

That's not the way I read that, lib...

It's not that he doesn't necessarily have an opinion on it, he just didn't see your poll as a serious venue for expressing an opinion...

So instead he used it as a vehicle for yanking your chain.....

[rubato]

And the SLA were not a liberal organization.

rubato

Well then, what was the membership of SLA composed of, conservatives?

Both you and LJ are such blockheads that you cannot conceive of groups which fall outside your moronic dualism?

Amazingly stupid. Really world-class.

Ding ding! We have a winner!

Liberty, please read the book I posted in this thread. I can't express my perspective better than Vidal does; I share his, pretty nearly completely.

Dare to open your mind, just a little, to an opposing point of view.

PS - I love my country, warts and all!

It would me help better understand their thinking. I can sometimes pull it off (figure of speech), but I find mind reading quite difficult.

[liberty]

On behalf of freedom loving Americans grateful for their country, I apologist to Canada for our imperialism directed against them. We have used the power of our nation to force them to give us their natural resources and other product of their nation. I for one call on our government to put an end to this colonial system as soon possible. We can immediately cease all imports and theft of such items as forest products and manufactured goods. Oil will take a little longer but we can develop our own instead of stealing theirs. Nothing from Canada should enter the US so the Canadians can have it.

[Scooter]

The Chinese will be more than happy to pick up the slack, so don't worry your empty head about it.

Canada is a Chinese colony? Bow down to your Chinese overlords you Canadian swine!

[Scooter]

No, Canada will be calling the shots as the Chinese get hungrier for Canadian oil.

Just like we are doing now to the U.S.

Sucks to be you, eh?

[Crackpot]

You sure of that? Ever see a "Canadian Bacon"

[Andrew D]

No, Canada will be calling the shots ....

Until the U.S decides to consume it.
