For awhile I have been given pause by a few Canadian posters on this Board who seem to have an inordinate interest in US politics, not - as they sometimes protest - as neutral observers hoping to learn more BUT as vociferous "contributors" who seem to take inordinate delight in drive-by-snide/partisan rhetorical flourish. Why, I wondered, would citizens of another country (with plenty of problems of its own) choose to spend so much time and effort posting on a Board dedicated to US politics.
Then I discovered Heather Mallick - a socialist "democrat" who writes for the Canadian press. Her articles regarding the Republican convention were quite interesting. Terms like "white trash" and "hick" abound. . . disdain for the majority of US citizens and their political leaders was palpable. Interesting, much of her insulting rhetoric sounded quite familiar. . .it had, indeed, been echoed on this Board.
Reading Mallick, it finally dawned: there is a socialist movement and it crosses borders and it is very interested in US politics because it fears any political trend that might impact its global agenda. No, I am not a conspiracy theorist BUT it does pay to know the perspective from which others approach a matter, particularly if they are engaging in gratuitous "advice".
So, if you have also paused to question the perspective of some of our northern neighbors, google Heather Mallick and "white trash" and gain some insight.

One is to be admired because he gave up drugs. The other is despicable because he once used drugs. Don't you see the consistency of opinion here?
Makes sense to me. After all, when you support one, it's kewl. When you don't support the other, boo! hiss!

I see those Canada threads down in the International section are getting TONS of responses. GOODness! I can hardly
Goodness, one would think that the REAL agenda is to censor those who aren't politically correct and don't swallow the party line hook, line and sinker, and not a genuine interest in all things Canadian.
Surely THAT can't be true.

Not a genuine interest!!!???!?
I KNEW it was too good to be true.
Actually, I was asking about the "drug dealer" info.
I think it's going to be increasingly difficult to find candidates who have never tried drugs
