OK Gerry. If you are offended it's because you didn't really think about what I was saying and why, and because you don't know my outlook of things political. I had no intention of offending, but to be 100% honest, if you are offended it's not because I said anything inaccurate, so any offense is because of your thin skin, not because I said anything wrong or anything that was meant to offend.

I am FAR harder on lazy cowardly American (and we have plenty of them here, as was evident when Obama got into the White House) then I have ever been on any citizen of any other nation. Why? Because things in the USA are my business.

Things in other nations are not, as long as those nations are not trying to gain influence in my nation by surreptitious means.

I am a historian and I fully understand the concept that "All government derive their power from the consent of the governed".

That means there are no politically neutral citizens. There are those that get involved, and those that go along to get along.

Those that go along are simply giving their power to their inferiors.

I have said that to my fellow American many many many times. And I have been very active in conservative political causes for over 40 years. So I am HARD of cowardly Americans. I am of the belief that the category of "treasonous socialist" is a smaller enemy to my freedoms then the category of "coward".

And I say so, and I say so publicly!

So if the citizens of Canada allowed Trudeau to gain power it's because:
(A) the majority is ignorant of history, and/or
(B) the majority is stupid (which I doubt) and/or
(C) the majority is dedicated to destroying their own freedoms (which I also doubt) and/or
(D) the majority didn't take the treat seriously enough to stop it (which is the one possibility I think is the most likely)

So my post is offensive to you because you didn't get active enough to stop the spread of socialism? is that so? Or am I guessing wrong? If you had been active politically I am fairly sure you's have said so when I first posted.


Next I want to point out the fact that my post (which you found SO offensive) was a REPLY to a CANADIAN on a PUBLIC forum, so you have no right, or even a privilege to say I can't post my thoughts, especially when you consider that a Canadian posted it to get replies.

Now I say this all as educational material. I don't know you and I never will. So this is not just a reply to you but to everyone reading it, and I say out front here, and in front of every one reading that I had no intention of offending, but if I did, it's not because I said anything wrong!

It's because you choose to read into what I wrote something that isn't there.

If you want to be offended that's OK, You have that right.

Just as I have the right to say what is on my mind to a CANADIAN on a PUBLIC forum when I am in effect ASKED for a reply, which is why the OP was posted in the 1st place.
