Right here, everyday on this blog, any Liberal who dares to oppose Bush & his policies is called a traitor.
You are not becoming a whiny wimp now, are you, Matt?
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 29, 2007 06:42 PM
CO - not true. Immigration, spending, other subjects are fair game. Undermining the war effort and giving aid and comfort to the enemy are yes - Treasonous.
Doesn't apply to you though. You're just a Canadian asswipe.
Your bacon isn't bacon.
Your beer tastes like cabbage.
Your economy is dependent on ours.
Your defense IS ours.
Your outlook is socialist.
Your language dichotomy is hilarious.
And your entire country suffers from a massive inferiority complex.

Why CO I would never call you a traitor.
A mindless liberal drone devoid of any real substantive thought wrapped in a righteous cloak of invincible stupidity and dim witted shallow thinking... yea I would call you that.

Your beer tastes like cabbage.
Posted by Kahn at June 29, 2007 06:58 PM
Really? I'm surprised, Kahn, that you would even admit to drinking a Canadian beer. Being a upstanding right-wing Conservative, you might be labelled a 'traitor' by your peers.
When it comes to commercially-produced beers, American beers are far inferior to those from Canada. It is just one more annoying fact that you have to accept from your northern neighbor.
Our Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue & MooseHead are all good examples of what a mass-produced beer should be.
U.S. micro breweries may produce some good beers, but even then, I don't think you could get the quality we get from our micro breweries here in Canada.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 29, 2007 08:09 PM
Our beer is better than yours, neener, neener, neener...
F*ck me CO, that is the best you can do? You are a pathetic little troll and your "response" illustrates Kahn's point precisely. HUGE Canadian inferiority complex. I mean I prefer Canadian Ice Wine to German Ice Wine. Doesn't change the fact that Canada's seriously screwed up.
Kahn just reeled you in son, hook, line and sinker.

I have to admit, GOP, when it comes to being screwed up, the U.S. does outdo Canada in that area.
But before we get into a pissing contest here, I think we should get back on topic.
Roseanne is free to express her opinion as much as any of us. I will not condemn her for that. If Ann Coulter can vomit the garbage she does and is applauded by the Right; I see nothing wrong with supporting Roseanne in her right to free speech.

I am in your corner CO!! Despair not!!!
Oh Kahnada: You are so full of Mercan crap from that ignorant arrogant list.
“Your bacon isn't bacon.”
Ans: We are well known for our lean pigs while you are well known for fat pigs. BWAH WAH WAH
”Your beer tastes like cabbage”.
Ans: CO accurately answered that. We drink masculine beer, not that watery stuff stuff you call beer. Mercans come up here and are babbling like fools after 4 of our beers (I here acknowledge that I may have opened the door to a wise crack here if you are bright enough to pick up on that and from past encounters, I know you are)
“Your economy is dependent on ours.”
Ans: We are dependent on each other though admittedly when you guys catch a cold, we get the sniffles.
“Your defense IS ours.”
Ans: You got 10 times our population, of course you have a much larger military. That plus you need one proportionally larger than ours because you insist on sticking your nose where it should not be.
”Your outlook is socialist”.
Ans: You are probably jealous of our Medicare program or you would be if you knew how much better it is(in spite of some flaws) to your health program known as ‘The Survival of the Richest’. The leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the USA are the unmanageable medical expenses on the average joe. That’s something you should hang you head in shame over. And on top of that, we are basically a capitalist economy with a balance budget.
”Your language dichotomy is hilarious”
Ans: You start taking Spanish lessons yet?
”And your entire country suffers from a massive inferiority complex”
Ans: We just lack your preening arrogance which you take as a inferiority complex.
Posted by: Canuckguy at June 29, 2007 09:07 PM
Is Roseanne even a Democrat? She sounds a little like Ron Paul to me -- although decidedly more colorful.
Okay, just kidding. But I agree with neocon... does anyone really care about what Roseanne thinks? I mean, she's made a good living trying to convince people (sometimes humorously, sometimes painfully) that she doesn't know what she's doing or saying. That's been her whole schtic, hasn't it? I don't know if the irony in it was intended or not, but in light of her own public personna, I got a real laugh out of her comment: "ANYONE WHO MENTIONS PARIS HILTON ONE MORE TIME MUST DIE!" I think it put the rest of her comment in context. Lol!
Posted by: Ricorun at June 29, 2007 09:14 PM
Oh, I forgot to add... I defend Roseanne's right to say whatever mindless drivel she chooses to spew. On the other hand, wouldn't it be nice of we could hold those who are inclined to report it to a higher standard? Mindless drivel is one thing. Popularizing it, for whatever cause, is another.

Of course all of the rest of us are free to disagree with Roseannes opinion and even to speculate as to the quality of her brand of patriotism. Isnt that how they doit in canada?
There are plenty of website that you could visit to marvel at roseannes chutzpa for "talking truth to power", why is it that you come here and whine about our opinion CO?
Actually I want to take this opportunity to complain to you CO. Frankly, the quality of your posts has never been that high, but lately I get the feeling that your just phoning it in.

Kahn: Hey, here's a challange[sic]. Tell us about great Canadian inventions and inventors.
You seem to have a real problem with Canadians. What's up with that? Why are you throwing up walls? What do you want? What do you need? Who needs therapy?
In short, you seem to be projecting into CO everything you don't like about Canada, and not dealing with CO as a person. Debate with him directly -- on the basis of his facts and logic, and his alone. According to you, that shouldn't be too hard. So go for it. Don't rely on ad-hominem attacks.
In the mean time, tell us what inventions and/or discoveries you yourself were responsible for. Apparently that's important to you. Tell us your contributions. If you can't, then maybe we should ship you to Canada. According to you, that's where worthless creeps end up. Then again, my experience with Canada is that much worse things could happen -- and not just to worthless creeps. But again, that's my personal experience. Yours might be different.
Posted by: Ricorun at June 30, 2007 01:48 AM
Hey, here's a challange(sic). Tell us about great Canadian inventions and inventors.
Posted by: Kahn at June 30, 2007 12:30 AM
Here's a cut & paste for you, Kahn; just a small list. Knock yourself out.
Canadian inventors have patented more than one million inventions and have been responsible for some of the best inventions of our time.
Frederick Banting and Charles Best
On July 27, 1921, Canadian scientists Frederick Banting and Charles Best first isolated insulin and within a year, the first human sufferers of diabetes were receiving insulin treatments.
Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone -- plus more telephone and cellular phone history.
Joseph-Armand Bombardier
In 1922, Joseph-Armand Bombardier developed the type of sport machine that we know today as the snowmobile.
Dianne Croteau
Invented Actar 911, the CPR mannequin.
Herbert Dow was the Canadian inventor of a process of extracting Bromine, the founder of Dow Chemicals, who also invented electric light carbons, steam and internal combustion engines, automatic furnace controls, and water seals.
In 1900, Reginald Fessenden transmitted the world's first voice message.
Abraham Gesner was the Canadian inventor of kerosene and known as the "Father or the Petroleum Industry.
James Gosling invented Java, a programming language and environment.
Imants Lauks invented the silicon chip blood analyzer in 1986.
Music synthesizer invented by Hugh Le Caine in 1945.
Cluny MacPherson invented the MacPherson gas mask and started the first St. John's Ambulance Brigade.
Warren Marrison developed the first quartz clock.
Elijah McCoy is best known for inventing the automatic oil cup. During his life, McCoy invented and sold 57 different kinds of devices and machine parts including an ironing board and a lawn sprinkler.
James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891.
Canadian, Arthur Sicard invented the snowblower in 1925.
Gideon Sundback invented the "Separable Fastener" or zipper.
Harry Wasylyk invented the green garbage bag.
Thomas Leopold Willson invented the production process in 1892
Acetylene Buoy Invented by Thomas L. Wilson in 1904
Agrifoam Crop Cold Protector Co-invented in 1967 by D. Siminovitch & J. W. Butler
Analytical Plotter 3D map-making system invented by Uno Vilho Helava in 1957
Andromonon Three-wheeled vehicle invented in 1851 by Thomas Turnbull
Anti-Gravity Suit Invented by Wilbur Rounding Franks in 1941, a suit for high altitude jet pilots
Automatic Foghorn The first steam foghorn was invented by Robert Foulis in 1859
Automatic Postal Sorter In 1957, Maurice Levy invented a postal sorter that could handle 200,000 letters an hour
Bone Marrow Compatibility Test Invented by Barbara Bain in 1960
Canada Dry Ginger Ale Invented in 1907 by John A. McLaughlin
Chocolate Nut Bar Arthur Ganong made the first nickel bar in 1910
Computerized Braille Invented by Roland Galarneau in 1972
Creed Telegraph System Fredrick Creed invented a way to convert Morse Code to text in 1900
Compound Steam Engine Invented by Benjamin Franklin Tibbetts in 1842
Thomas Ahearn invented the first electric car heater in 1890
and one that should be of interest to you, Kahn:-
John Garand invented the M1 semiautomatic rifle or Garand rifle in 1934.
There are some inventions here that you can pick apart and ridicule, but for a country with the small population of Canada, I would say our inventors and inventions are impressive. Many have benefited from Canadian medical discoveries and advancements in the scientific field.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 30, 2007 08:58 AM
Hey thats an impressive list CO. We share Alexander Graham Bell with you lol we claim him as ours, I didn't actually realise he had emigrated to Canada. Still never been to Canada but one day hopefully. I've got family there somewhere and my dad loves Canada.
Posted by: weefee at June 30, 2007 09:19 AM
CO...that's it? That's the list? OMG, I can't believe it's even that extensive. Considering your import ratio outways your export ratio by, oh...10-1, I can certainly understand why. Last year while I was at Canadian Tire I was edumactaed as to why Canadians do so little export...it's called a lack of inate personal creativity.
Also, to touch on the Rosanne subject; she's just a slob like Rosie and deserves little or no attention. The two visions-of-fugliness have made a living off their vulgur tongues and should be ignored...kinda like CO, kblack and the other kooks.
Posted by: navydad at June 30, 2007 10:31 AM
"Right here, everyday on this blog, any Liberal who dares to oppose Bush & his policies is called a traitor."
My god CO, how ignorant are you? I believe it is a healthy to oppose Bush and his policies. Hell I oppose Bush on many of his policies. It is what our country is built upon. It's called contructive criticism. But I think that people who blindly oppose Bush on EVERY one of his policies becuase of blind hate, are hurting our country. Also, who called her a traitor before you claimed we did?
If you want to know what a traitor is I will help you out. A traitor is someone who gives aid and confort to the enemy. For example lets examine the case of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and the "Haditha Massacre"
"His commanders said in a fitness report that Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani had "unlimited potential and value to the Marine Corps," but he's now facing the military version of a criminal proceeding for his work during that time, according to a Michigan law firm.
Chessani is hoping the hearing will eliminate the "Murtha taint" from his career, which comes from comments made by U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who was incited by an inflammatory "Time" magazine headline accusing Marines of "massacring" civilians in Haditha, Al-Anbar province, Iraq.
Murtha, in an unprecedented statement, publicly accused Marine officers of a "cover-up" before the situation had been investigated, a charge later disproved by the military"
Now if you look at the facts of the case you will see that Tim McGirk of Time magazine wrote an article based on information given to him by known insurget propagandists. Instead of saying who is source was, he just claimed it was a "budding journalism student" That claim was later retracted by Time magazine, but not before the damage was done. See, McGirk ran to Jack Murtha and had him blow the whole thing out of proportion.
With no evidence, except the testimony of the enemy, he ran with it and was successful in persecuting our Marines. Now, I pray, it is only a matter of time before this innocent man, who incidently wasn't even THERE, is exonerated.
Now CO, if what I say is true, would you consider Murtha and Mcgirk traitors? I sure do.
I also want to encourage people who care about freeing an innocent man to go the Thomas Moore law center website and donate to the Lt. Col. Chessani fund.

I hope bald-win or sean pensilneck are the first to show up!
Posted by: FmrMarine at June 30, 2007 10:36 AM
Thanks, weefee
As you probably know, Canada owes a debt of gratitude to Scotland for all the good men and women you provided in the building of our nation.
My paternal heritage stems from the Clan MacNeill from the Hebrides. They emigrated to Prince Edward Island, we believe, in the 19th. century.
Montreal also has a rich Scottish history and many important developments took place here due to their resourceful and inventive nature.
There is a museum dedicated to Alexander Graham Bell located in Beddeck, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. If you ever have a chance to visit Canada, weefee, I would recommend you check it out.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 30, 2007 10:39 AM
Anyway, back to the topic.
I think the Daily Kos should sponsor "Truth Tour: Outlook not so Rosies". They could get a couple semis and a forklift and parade Rosie and Roseanne around the country spreading love and peace to us, the unwashed, uninformed masses.
Posted by: jbiccum at June 30, 2007 10:40 AM
"CO...that's it? That's the list? OMG, I can't believe it's even that extensive."
I hope you didn't expect me to recite the whole list of over a million inventions that were issued patents, navydad.
"Also, to touch on the Rosanne(sic) subject; she's just a slob like Rosie and deserves little or no attention. The two visions-of-fugliness have made a living off their vulgur tongues and should be ignored...kinda like CO, kblack and the other kooks."
Or....kinda like your heroine or is it (hero)?, Ann Coulter. As long as you have Coulter as one of the spokespersons for Bush & his policies, I wouldn't be to quick to disparage Rosie or Roseanne. Dump Coulter and then maybe we can talk.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 30, 2007 10:59 AM
I'll gladly listen to or read an Ann Coulter piece before giving the "twin blobs" the time of day. On an intellectual level, Ann is head & shoulders above their combined intellect...on a bad day. Even you can't deny that fact CO.
Maybe you should have Rosanne sing the Canadian national anthem at a Jays game this year. I hear she does a great impersonation of the Mackenzie Bros while grabbing her crouch and spittin like a guy....what a class act.
Posted by: navydad at June 30, 2007 11:15 AM
CO, apparently you have no idea when it comes to patents. Just because an invention is patented, doesn't mean it's commercially marketable.
Posted by: navydad at June 30, 2007 11:19 AM
Now CO, if what I say is true, would you consider Murtha and Mcgirk traitors? I sure do.
Posted by: jbiccum at June 30, 2007 10:31 AM
If Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani is innocent of the charges, then the truth will come out and he will be exonerated. And no, I would not consider Murtha a traitor. It took guts to speak out when it was not the popular thing to do. Murtha wants to save the lives of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He has said that enough deaths have occurred in this debacle and it appears that the majority of Americans agree with him.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 30, 2007 11:20 AM
On an intellectual level, Ann is head & shoulders above their combined intellect...on a bad day. Even you can't deny that fact CO.
Posted by: navydad at June 30, 2007 11:15 AM
Oh yeah, that's right, navydad. Ann showed off that 'intellect' on Canadian TV in an interview with Bob McKeown of the Fifth Estate. (Google it). Our brainy Ann kept insisting that Canada had sent troops to VietNam. I guess she never heard of the number of Americans who came to Canada in order to avoid the draft. Canada welcomed them and many went on to become valued citizens of our great country.
This is only one of many goofs she has made; so, navydad, if that is who you want to represent the Conservative voice, well, good luck with that.

July 1st. is Canada's birthday and our American neighbors celebrate their Independence Day on the 4th. Let's all enjoy the holiday.
Hope you don't mind my posting this little dig at the U.S. which I received, coincidentally, in my e-mail today. I know it is a piece of crappy juvenile Canuck humor, but what are you going to do, eh?
SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?
Here are just some of the things that CANADIANS have to be proud of:
Smarties
Crispy Crunch,
Coffee Crisp
The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls.
Baseball is Canadian
(First game June 4, 1838, in Ingersoll, Ont.)
Lacrosse is Canadian
Hockey is Canadian
Basketball is Canadian
Apple pie is Canadian
Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers
Tim Horton's beats Dunkin' Donuts
In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and
most of Washington .
Canada has the largest French population that
never surrendered to Germany .
We have the largest English population that never
ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to
anyone, anywhere. EVER.
Our civil war was fought in a bar and it
lasted a little over an hour.
The only person who was arrested in our civil war
was an American mercenary, who slept in and
missed the whole thing, but showed up just in time to get caught.
A Canadian invented Standard Time.
The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10%
of the earth's surface and is still around as the
world's oldest company.
The average dog sled team can kill and devour
a full grown human in under 3 minutes, but never does.
We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
We don't marry our kin-folk.
We invented:
ski-doos,
jetskis,
velcro,
zippers,
zambonis,
penicillin,
insulin,
the telephone and short wave radios
The last 4 save countless lives each year
We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
A Canadian invented Superman.
We have coloured money
Our beer advertisements kick ass
OOOoohhhhh Canada!!.
And we don't bomb our allies. oh yeah...
and our elections only take one day.

Posted by: Casper at June 30, 2007 09:10 PM
Hi CO,
No disrespect for Canadians (I love my northern brothers), but as a proud snow-loving Wisconsinite, I can't let this one pass:
In 1922, Joseph-Armand Bombardier developed the type of sport machine that we know today as the snowmobile.
While normally I might acknowledge that Wisconsin holds one of many claims to the throne, as a blue blood Wisconsinite, it goes without saying that Carl Eliason is the true inventor of the snowmobile. :)

Posted by: winnowhead at June 30, 2007 10:14 PM
It looks to be one of those situations, winnowhead, where you have six of one and half a dozen of another. Bombardier's first attempt, when he was 15 year old, was powered by an engine from a Ford Model T; so I guess you could say there was a definite American connection.
As with most inventions, there are usually others with the same idea:
Adalbert Landry and Antoine Morisset of Quebec's Gaspé region made a rudimentary snow vehicle in the mid-1920s. They converted an automobile by putting skis in the front and a caterpillar belt over the double rear wheels. In 1924 they travelled nearly 600 kilometres to show off their vehicle at a Montreal automobile show.
So I guess the person who gets the product produced and on the market first, will be the one who gets the credit.
Perhaps someone with a good knowledge of patents could tell us why Bombardier was allowed to manufacture this vehicle when Carl Eliason already held the patent. Are patents only good in the country they are issued?

Mr. Dressup was a Canadian television icon. From 1967 to 1996, Ernie Coombs brought pleasure and imagination to Canadian children. Not many people know that Coombs was born an American and followed Fred Rogers when he was developing Mister Roger's Neighborhood on the Canadian Broadcasting Network (CBC). Within 1 year Coombs had his own children's program in Canada. Butternut Square starred Coombs from 1964-1967. When it was cancelled Coombs presented a new improved version called Mr. Dressup.
And if you were a Canadian kid, you never missed it.
Hope you caught the American connection in this Canadian institution, also.

Enough of this crap about Canada; it's kooks aside, I'm sure it's a beautiful place. In my experiences, the only thing wrong with Canada is its production of complete a$$holes, such as CO, axass, and Canuckgay.

CO - I can't believe you actually listed out all this Canada invention stuff. Thats exactly the kind of post someone with an inferiority complex would be oh so ready to make. I was wondering if you'd bite. You actually prove my point.
Ricorun - I post here for my own amusement. Picking on Canadians is fair. The few that post HERE (Canuckguy, CO) are dimwitted trolls who spew the latest liberal chant of the day with little regard for us and with a limited understanding of reality.
I had a Canadian room mate for a six week company school some years back. He, like every other Candian I've ever met was intimidated by the enormous success of the United States. He also could recite these crazy lists of Canadian greatness. Meanwhile, an American would never do this - as the list is too long and the inventions and accomplishments to great to fit into a tiny on-line blog.
So, we salute you Oh Canada. Send us your trees and your oil, but keep your socialism for yourselves.

CO,
It's not worth too much time to quibble with the BFB fanboys. They're too sore that their team, the one that won on a technicality 7 years ago (you know the ump lost his pension for that 9th inning call), doesn't seem capable of holding the trophy for the team without embarrassing themselves.
Such is the way these guys consider politics.
As for Wisconsin's claim to the snowmobile throne: it's pretty precarious. But, I'm at BFB at the moment. Can't I engage in a little truthiness myself? :)
Posted by: winnowhead at July 2, 2007 03:29 AM
CO, I don't know why I bother with you, but here goes:
Jack Murtha called Marines "cold-blooded killers," without anyone having been indicted or convicted. It appears that some of his, if not all, are going to be proven wrong.
His knee-jerk reaction was traitorous; it had nothing to do with him disagreeing with President Bush. Hell, son, I disagree with everything President Bush has done so far, with one exception. But guess what? I'm still getting a red, white, and blue elephant tattoo(sp?) on my left arm. I'm not leaving my party, although my party has appeared to have left me.
Minnowhead, how's it going with you and DAV/HugeWank? I hear you're going to Canada to wed--is it true?

Right here, everyday on this blog, any Liberal who dares to oppose Bush & his policies is called a traitor.
You are not becoming a whiny wimp now, are you, Matt?
CO - not true. Immigration, spending, other subjects are fair game. Undermining the war effort and giving aid and comfort to the enemy are yes - Treasonous.
Doesn't apply to you though. You're just a Canadian asswipe.
Your bacon isn't bacon.
Your beer tastes like cabbage.
Your economy is dependent on ours.
Your defense IS ours.
Your outlook is socialist.
Your language dichotomy is hilarious.
And your entire country suffers from a massive inferiority complex.
Why CO I would never call you a traitor.
A mindless liberal drone devoid of any real substantive thought wrapped in a righteous cloak of invincible stupidity and dim witted shallow thinking... yea I would call you that.
Your beer tastes like cabbage.
Posted by Kahn at June 29, 2007 06:58 PM
Really? I'm surprised, Kahn, that you would even admit to drinking a Canadian beer. Being a upstanding right-wing Conservative, you might be labelled a 'traitor' by your peers.
When it comes to commercially-produced beers, American beers are far inferior to those from Canada. It is just one more annoying fact that you have to accept from your northern neighbor.
Our Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue & MooseHead are all good examples of what a mass-produced beer should be.
U.S. micro breweries may produce some good beers, but even then, I don't think you could get the quality we get from our micro breweries here in Canada.
Our beer is better than yours, neener, neener, neener...
F*ck me CO, that is the best you can do? You are a pathetic little troll and your "response" illustrates Kahn's point precisely. HUGE Canadian inferiority complex. I mean I prefer Canadian Ice Wine to German Ice Wine. Doesn't change the fact that Canada's seriously screwed up.
Kahn just reeled you in son, hook, line and sinker.
Roseanne who?
Is she the fat ugly chick that embarrased herslef singing the National Anthem?
And why would we care what came out of her intellectually challenged pie hole?
Doesn't change the fact that Canada's seriously screwed up.
Posted by GOP 4 ME at June 29, 2007 08:21 PM
I have to admit, GOP, when it comes to being screwed up, the U.S. does outdo Canada in that area.
But before we get into a pissing contest here, I think we should get back on topic.
Roseanne is free to express her opinion as much as any of us. I will not condemn her for that. If Ann Coulter can vomit the garbage she does and is applauded by the Right; I see nothing wrong with supporting Roseanne in her right to free speech.
Right here, everyday on this blog, any Liberal who dares to oppose Bush & his policies is called a traitor.
Why does this piece of sh*t lie all the time? Is it the heroin? Is it the syphillis? You be the judge...
Roseanne who?
Seriously, who cares what this woman thinks.
I am in your corner CO!! Despair not!!!
Oh Kahnada: You are so full of Mercan crap from that ignorant arrogant list.
“Your bacon isn't bacon.”
Ans: We are well known for our lean pigs while you are well known for fat pigs. BWAH WAH WAH
”Your beer tastes like cabbage”.
Ans: CO accurately answered that. We drink masculine beer, not that watery stuff stuff you call beer. Mercans come up here and are babbling like fools after 4 of our beers (I here acknowledge that I may have opened the door to a wise crack here if you are bright enough to pick up on that and from past encounters, I know you are)
“Your economy is dependent on ours.”
Ans: We are dependent on each other though admittedly when you guys catch a cold, we get the sniffles.
“Your defense IS ours.”
Ans: You got 10 times our population, of course you have a much larger military. That plus you need one proportionally larger than ours because you insist on sticking your nose where it should not be.
”Your outlook is socialist”.
Ans: You are probably jealous of our Medicare program or you would be if you knew how much better it is(in spite of some flaws) to your health program known as ‘The Survival of the Richest’. The leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the USA are the unmanageable medical expenses on the average joe. That’s something you should hang you head in shame over. And on top of that, we are basically a capitalist economy with a balance budget.
”Your language dichotomy is hilarious”
Ans: You start taking Spanish lessons yet?
”And your entire country suffers from a massive inferiority complex”
Ans: We just lack your preening arrogance which you take as a inferiority complex.
Is Roseanne even a Democrat? She sounds a little like Ron Paul to me -- although decidedly more colorful.
Okay, just kidding. But I agree with neocon... does anyone really care about what Roseanne thinks? I mean, she's made a good living trying to convince people (sometimes humorously, sometimes painfully) that she doesn't know what she's doing or saying. That's been her whole schtic, hasn't it? I don't know if the irony in it was intended or not, but in light of her own public personna, I got a real laugh out of her comment: "ANYONE WHO MENTIONS PARIS HILTON ONE MORE TIME MUST DIE!" I think it put the rest of her comment in context. Lol!
Oh, I forgot to add... I defend Roseanne's right to say whatever mindless drivel she chooses to spew. On the other hand, wouldn't it be nice of we could hold those who are inclined to report it to a higher standard? Mindless drivel is one thing. Popularizing it, for whatever cause, is another.
Roseanne is free to express her opinion as much as any of us. I will not condemn her for that. If Ann Coulter can vomit the garbage she does and is applauded by the Right; I see nothing wrong with supporting Roseanne in her right to free speech.
Posted by: Canadian Observer at June 29, 2007 08:42 PM
Of course all of the rest of us are free to disagree with Roseannes opinion and even to speculate as to the quality of her brand of patriotism. Isnt that how they doit in canada?
There are plenty of website that you could visit to marvel at roseannes chutzpa for "talking truth to power", why is it that you come here and whine about our opinion CO?
Actually I want to take this opportunity to complain to you CO. Frankly, the quality of your posts has never been that high, but lately I get the feeling that your just phoning it in.
If your going to come here, couldnt you try just a little harder?
Why does this piece of sh*t lie all the time? Is it the heroin? Is it the syphillis(sic)? You be the judge...
Posted by: keefer at June 29, 2007 08:57 PM
Jack-off Murtha is a disgrace to the uniform he once soiled, and a traitor to this country. He should swing from a gallows.
Posted by: keefer at June 18, 2007 05:27 PM
A failing memory is a terrible thing to witness, keefer. I hope this was just a temporary lapse and nothing permanent.
Why would you give Roseanne the trackback? I mean, honestly... do you seriously have nothing of more relevance or substance to bitch about than Roseanne Barr?
Well... she does have a lot of substance... unfortunately it's all around her midsection...
Hey Canuckguy, I am a Canadian (thankfully living down here now). You sir, are completely, 100% full of sh1t.
Posted by: GOP 4 ME at June 29, 2007 11:30 PM
What is it with all toilet talk tonight?
CO - Its hard to discuss things with someone that has an inferiority complex. Really, we're not professional mental health workers - and trying to treat you as normal gets old.
Hey, here's a challange. Tell us about great Canadian inventions and inventors.
Kahn: Hey, here's a challange[sic]. Tell us about great Canadian inventions and inventors.
You seem to have a real problem with Canadians. What's up with that? Why are you throwing up walls? What do you want? What do you need? Who needs therapy?
In short, you seem to be projecting into CO everything you don't like about Canada, and not dealing with CO as a person. Debate with him directly -- on the basis of his facts and logic, and his alone. According to you, that shouldn't be too hard. So go for it. Don't rely on ad-hominem attacks.
In the mean time, tell us what inventions and/or discoveries you yourself were responsible for. Apparently that's important to you. Tell us your contributions. If you can't, then maybe we should ship you to Canada. According to you, that's where worthless creeps end up. Then again, my experience with Canada is that much worse things could happen -- and not just to worthless creeps. But again, that's my personal experience. Yours might be different.
Hey, here's a challange(sic). Tell us about great Canadian inventions and inventors.
Posted by: Kahn at June 30, 2007 12:30 AM
Here's a cut & paste for you, Kahn; just a small list. Knock yourself out.
Canadian inventors have patented more than one million inventions and have been responsible for some of the best inventions of our time.
Frederick Banting and Charles Best
On July 27, 1921, Canadian scientists Frederick Banting and Charles Best first isolated insulin and within a year, the first human sufferers of diabetes were receiving insulin treatments.
Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone -- plus more telephone and cellular phone history.
Joseph-Armand Bombardier
In 1922, Joseph-Armand Bombardier developed the type of sport machine that we know today as the snowmobile.
Dianne Croteau
Invented Actar 911, the CPR mannequin.
Herbert Dow was the Canadian inventor of a process of extracting Bromine, the founder of Dow Chemicals, who also invented electric light carbons, steam and internal combustion engines, automatic furnace controls, and water seals.
In 1900, Reginald Fessenden transmitted the world's first voice message.
Abraham Gesner was the Canadian inventor of kerosene and known as the "Father or the Petroleum Industry.
James Gosling invented Java, a programming language and environment.
Imants Lauks invented the silicon chip blood analyzer in 1986.
Music synthesizer invented by Hugh Le Caine in 1945.
Cluny MacPherson invented the MacPherson gas mask and started the first St. John's Ambulance Brigade.
Warren Marrison developed the first quartz clock.
Elijah McCoy is best known for inventing the automatic oil cup. During his life, McCoy invented and sold 57 different kinds of devices and machine parts including an ironing board and a lawn sprinkler.
James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891.
Canadian, Arthur Sicard invented the snowblower in 1925.
Gideon Sundback invented the "Separable Fastener" or zipper.
Harry Wasylyk invented the green garbage bag.
Thomas Leopold Willson invented the production process in 1892
Acetylene Buoy Invented by Thomas L. Wilson in 1904
Agrifoam Crop Cold Protector Co-invented in 1967 by D. Siminovitch & J. W. Butler
Analytical Plotter 3D map-making system invented by Uno Vilho Helava in 1957
Andromonon Three-wheeled vehicle invented in 1851 by Thomas Turnbull
Anti-Gravity Suit Invented by Wilbur Rounding Franks in 1941, a suit for high altitude jet pilots
Automatic Foghorn The first steam foghorn was invented by Robert Foulis in 1859
Automatic Postal Sorter In 1957, Maurice Levy invented a postal sorter that could handle 200,000 letters an hour
Bone Marrow Compatibility Test Invented by Barbara Bain in 1960
Canada Dry Ginger Ale Invented in 1907 by John A. McLaughlin
Chocolate Nut Bar Arthur Ganong made the first nickel bar in 1910
Computerized Braille Invented by Roland Galarneau in 1972
Creed Telegraph System Fredrick Creed invented a way to convert Morse Code to text in 1900
Compound Steam Engine Invented by Benjamin Franklin Tibbetts in 1842
Thomas Ahearn invented the first electric car heater in 1890
and one that should be of interest to you, Kahn:-
John Garand invented the M1 semiautomatic rifle or Garand rifle in 1934.
There are some inventions here that you can pick apart and ridicule, but for a country with the small population of Canada, I would say our inventors and inventions are impressive. Many have benefited from Canadian medical discoveries and advancements in the scientific field.
Hey thats an impressive list CO. We share Alexander Graham Bell with you lol we claim him as ours, I didn't actually realise he had emigrated to Canada. Still never been to Canada but one day hopefully. I've got family there somewhere and my dad loves Canada.
CO...that's it? That's the list? OMG, I can't believe it's even that extensive. Considering your import ratio outways your export ratio by, oh...10-1, I can certainly understand why. Last year while I was at Canadian Tire I was edumactaed as to why Canadians do so little export...it's called a lack of inate personal creativity.
Also, to touch on the Rosanne subject; she's just a slob like Rosie and deserves little or no attention. The two visions-of-fugliness have made a living off their vulgur tongues and should be ignored...kinda like CO, kblack and the other kooks.
"Right here, everyday on this blog, any Liberal who dares to oppose Bush & his policies is called a traitor."
My god CO, how ignorant are you? I believe it is a healthy to oppose Bush and his policies. Hell I oppose Bush on many of his policies. It is what our country is built upon. It's called contructive criticism. But I think that people who blindly oppose Bush on EVERY one of his policies becuase of blind hate, are hurting our country. Also, who called her a traitor before you claimed we did?
If you want to know what a traitor is I will help you out. A traitor is someone who gives aid and confort to the enemy. For example lets examine the case of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and the "Haditha Massacre"
"His commanders said in a fitness report that Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani had "unlimited potential and value to the Marine Corps," but he's now facing the military version of a criminal proceeding for his work during that time, according to a Michigan law firm.
Chessani is hoping the hearing will eliminate the "Murtha taint" from his career, which comes from comments made by U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who was incited by an inflammatory "Time" magazine headline accusing Marines of "massacring" civilians in Haditha, Al-Anbar province, Iraq.
Murtha, in an unprecedented statement, publicly accused Marine officers of a "cover-up" before the situation had been investigated, a charge later disproved by the military"
Now if you look at the facts of the case you will see that Tim McGirk of Time magazine wrote an article based on information given to him by known insurget propagandists. Instead of saying who is source was, he just claimed it was a "budding journalism student" That claim was later retracted by Time magazine, but not before the damage was done. See, McGirk ran to Jack Murtha and had him blow the whole thing out of proportion.
With no evidence, except the testimony of the enemy, he ran with it and was successful in persecuting our Marines. Now, I pray, it is only a matter of time before this innocent man, who incidently wasn't even THERE, is exonerated.
Now CO, if what I say is true, would you consider Murtha and Mcgirk traitors? I sure do.
I also want to encourage people who care about freeing an innocent man to go the Thomas Moore law center website and donate to the Lt. Col. Chessani fund.
http://www.thomasmore.org/
I LOVE IT ....when MARXIST pigs call REAL AMERICANS traitors.
Then according to roseanne, rosie et all IM a traitor. Since the punishment for treason it the death penalty.........I say COME and GET IT!!
I hope bald-win or sean pensilneck are the first to show up!
Thanks, weefee
As you probably know, Canada owes a debt of gratitude to Scotland for all the good men and women you provided in the building of our nation.
My paternal heritage stems from the Clan MacNeill from the Hebrides. They emigrated to Prince Edward Island, we believe, in the 19th. century.
Montreal also has a rich Scottish history and many important developments took place here due to their resourceful and inventive nature.
There is a museum dedicated to Alexander Graham Bell located in Beddeck, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. If you ever have a chance to visit Canada, weefee, I would recommend you check it out.
Anyway, back to the topic.
I think the Daily Kos should sponsor "Truth Tour: Outlook not so Rosies". They could get a couple semis and a forklift and parade Rosie and Roseanne around the country spreading love and peace to us, the unwashed, uninformed masses.
"CO...that's it? That's the list? OMG, I can't believe it's even that extensive."
I hope you didn't expect me to recite the whole list of over a million inventions that were issued patents, navydad.
"Also, to touch on the Rosanne(sic) subject; she's just a slob like Rosie and deserves little or no attention. The two visions-of-fugliness have made a living off their vulgur tongues and should be ignored...kinda like CO, kblack and the other kooks."
Or....kinda like your heroine or is it (hero)?, Ann Coulter. As long as you have Coulter as one of the spokespersons for Bush & his policies, I wouldn't be to quick to disparage Rosie or Roseanne. Dump Coulter and then maybe we can talk.
I'll gladly listen to or read an Ann Coulter piece before giving the "twin blobs" the time of day. On an intellectual level, Ann is head & shoulders above their combined intellect...on a bad day. Even you can't deny that fact CO.
Maybe you should have Rosanne sing the Canadian national anthem at a Jays game this year. I hear she does a great impersonation of the Mackenzie Bros while grabbing her crouch and spittin like a guy....what a class act.
CO, apparently you have no idea when it comes to patents. Just because an invention is patented, doesn't mean it's commercially marketable.
Now CO, if what I say is true, would you consider Murtha and Mcgirk traitors? I sure do.
Posted by: jbiccum at June 30, 2007 10:31 AM
If Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani is innocent of the charges, then the truth will come out and he will be exonerated. And no, I would not consider Murtha a traitor. It took guts to speak out when it was not the popular thing to do. Murtha wants to save the lives of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He has said that enough deaths have occurred in this debacle and it appears that the majority of Americans agree with him.
On an intellectual level, Ann is head & shoulders above their combined intellect...on a bad day. Even you can't deny that fact CO.
Posted by: navydad at June 30, 2007 11:15 AM
Oh yeah, that's right, navydad. Ann showed off that 'intellect' on Canadian TV in an interview with Bob McKeown of the Fifth Estate. (Google it). Our brainy Ann kept insisting that Canada had sent troops to VietNam. I guess she never heard of the number of Americans who came to Canada in order to avoid the draft. Canada welcomed them and many went on to become valued citizens of our great country.
This is only one of many goofs she has made; so, navydad, if that is who you want to represent the Conservative voice, well, good luck with that.
Well, Roseanne made a stupid comment. Big news.
Your feigned outrage is interesting, considering how often you and Mark engage in the same thing:
blogsforbush loves calling people traitors
Touché, winnowhead.
July 1st. is Canada's birthday and our American neighbors celebrate their Independence Day on the 4th. Let's all enjoy the holiday.
Hope you don't mind my posting this little dig at the U.S. which I received, coincidentally, in my e-mail today. I know it is a piece of crappy juvenile Canuck humor, but what are you going to do, eh?
SO, WHAT DO CANADIANS HAVE TO BE PROUD OF?
Here are just some of the things that CANADIANS have to be proud of:
Smarties
Crispy Crunch,
Coffee Crisp
The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls.
Baseball is Canadian
(First game June 4, 1838, in Ingersoll, Ont.)
Lacrosse is Canadian
Hockey is Canadian
Basketball is Canadian
Apple pie is Canadian
Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers
Tim Horton's beats Dunkin' Donuts
In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and
most of Washington .
Canada has the largest French population that
never surrendered to Germany .
We have the largest English population that never
ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to
anyone, anywhere. EVER.
Our civil war was fought in a bar and it
lasted a little over an hour.
The only person who was arrested in our civil war
was an American mercenary, who slept in and
missed the whole thing, but showed up just in time to get caught.
A Canadian invented Standard Time.
The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10%
of the earth's surface and is still around as the
world's oldest company.
The average dog sled team can kill and devour
a full grown human in under 3 minutes, but never does.
We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
We don't marry our kin-folk.
We invented:
ski-doos,
jetskis,
velcro,
zippers,
zambonis,
penicillin,
insulin,
the telephone and short wave radios
The last 4 save countless lives each year
We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
A Canadian invented Superman.
We have coloured money
Our beer advertisements kick ass
OOOoohhhhh Canada!!.
And we don't bomb our allies. oh yeah...
and our elections only take one day.
CO,
I loved your list. We all have a lot fo be proud of. None of us should have to put someone else down to make ourselves look good.
Hi CO,
No disrespect for Canadians (I love my northern brothers), but as a proud snow-loving Wisconsinite, I can't let this one pass:
While normally I might acknowledge that Wisconsin holds one of many claims to the throne, as a blue blood Wisconsinite, it goes without saying that Carl Eliason is the true inventor of the snowmobile. :)
Good list..but there is no freaking way that Mt. Dress up..whomever that is..beats Mt. Rogers!!! No way!!!!!

Posted by: winnowhead at June 30, 2007 10:14 PM
It looks to be one of those situations, winnowhead, where you have six of one and half a dozen of another. Bombardier's first attempt, when he was 15 year old, was powered by an engine from a Ford Model T; so I guess you could say there was a definite American connection.
As with most inventions, there are usually others with the same idea:
Adalbert Landry and Antoine Morisset of Quebec's Gaspé region made a rudimentary snow vehicle in the mid-1920s. They converted an automobile by putting skis in the front and a caterpillar belt over the double rear wheels. In 1924 they travelled nearly 600 kilometres to show off their vehicle at a Montreal automobile show.
So I guess the person who gets the product produced and on the market first, will be the one who gets the credit.
Perhaps someone with a good knowledge of patents could tell us why Bombardier was allowed to manufacture this vehicle when Carl Eliason already held the patent. Are patents only good in the country they are issued?
Good list..but there is no freaking way that Mt. Dress up..whomever that is..beats Mt. Rogers!!! No way!!!!!
Posted by: Xango Annie at June 30, 2007 10:18 PM
Mr. Dressup was a Canadian television icon. From 1967 to 1996, Ernie Coombs brought pleasure and imagination to Canadian children. Not many people know that Coombs was born an American and followed Fred Rogers when he was developing Mister Roger's Neighborhood on the Canadian Broadcasting Network (CBC). Within 1 year Coombs had his own children's program in Canada. Butternut Square starred Coombs from 1964-1967. When it was cancelled Coombs presented a new improved version called Mr. Dressup.
And if you were a Canadian kid, you never missed it.
Hope you caught the American connection in this Canadian institution, also.
Enough of this crap about Canada; it's kooks aside, I'm sure it's a beautiful place. In my experiences, the only thing wrong with Canada is its production of complete a$$holes, such as CO, axass, and Canuckgay. And these three are harmless morons who come here to play gotcha, so why bother with them? Let them make their mindless comments, and ignore them.
I think Dr. Retard is from Canada too. Not to or two, Dr. Retard--too...
CO - I can't believe you actually listed out all this Canada invention stuff. Thats exactly the kind of post someone with an inferiority complex would be oh so ready to make. I was wondering if you'd bite. You actually prove my point.
Ricorun - I post here for my own amusement. Picking on Canadians is fair. The few that post HERE (Canuckguy, CO) are dimwitted trolls who spew the latest liberal chant of the day with little regard for us and with a limited understanding of reality.
I had a Canadian room mate for a six week company school some years back. He, like every other Candian I've ever met was intimidated by the enormous success of the United States. He also could recite these crazy lists of Canadian greatness. Meanwhile, an American would never do this - as the list is too long and the inventions and accomplishments to great to fit into a tiny on-line blog.
So, we salute you Oh Canada. Send us your trees and your oil, but keep your socialism for yourselves.
How's your memory today, keefer? Has there been any improvement in the last couple of days?
keefer - yah, I know I shouldn't of dragged the discussion into one about Canada. It's just that Rossane Barr is so insignificant. I mean, really who cares about anything she has to say?

Oh come on, Kahn. Americans are constantly saying how great the U.S. is. How often have we heard the phrase 'America is the number one country in the world' or 'We have the best military on the planet' or my favorite ' God bless GWB, the greatest leader in history'.
If you have to keep repeating it over and over again, doesn't that indicate some sort of 'complex'?
Thats exactly the kind of post someone with an inferiority complex would be oh so ready to make. I was wondering if you'd bite. You actually prove my point.
Bingo, kahn--these insecure Canadian kooks are pathetic.
CO, what's this about my memory? I can't recall whatever it is you're--not your, Dr. Retard--referring to, but I'm sure it's too insignificant to worry about. Please enlighten me, or bugger off. Either way, I care not...
O.K., keefer, it looks as if you do have a problem; so, once again, to refresh your 'memory':
I posted a comment that here at B4B to the nature that if you are a liberal and disagree with GWB and his policies, you are called a 'traitor'. You responded with:
