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.

Personally, I quite disagree that we have had "a disastrous eight years".

I'm miffed as well. Pissed off is actually a better description.

Hmmmm, so these scam artists are preying on Americans, as if that doesn't happen right here in our country. I suppose the solution is to build another wall, oh... and let's build a communications wall as well, require a passport to call the US. Sounds like a perfect plan for the right to propose.

I agree, but Democrats can't just mail it in, expect to win without earning the vote. And right now it almost seems like

It is pretty amusing! Speaking of which, we have to have an annual international convention of surreptitious socialists.

the war against terrorism (the biggest threat to our freedom since the advent of Hitler) is being successfully waged.


It is? Um, don't Republicans keep saying the threat is bigger than ever? Just wondering.


Oh, and when was bin Laden caught? I must have missed it. After all, there is that war thing going on in another country that had nothing to do with 11 September, and where we now rely on hit squads to keep things in check. Yeah, that always works long term, right?

Well, I can refute various points in your post, but I won't. Most of
