We have no moral high ground any more. None whatever. The days of being proud that we didn't get suckered into Bush's Iraq misadventure are long gone and irrelevant. Years ago we threw away our peace keeping tradition like a snot soiled kleenex - even though there are still fools around who think boasting about it displays anything other than gross ignorance of recent history. <br /><br />There is nothing admirable or worthy of respect about Canada or Canadians today. It's time we stopped pretending there was. <br />Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465953801145126160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-25710650294524895882015-03-26T12:58:26.448-04:002015-03-26T12:58:26.448-04:00And yet, Pamela, they seem rather proud of their d...And yet, Pamela, they seem rather proud of their dysfunctional choices.

I'm old enough to remember a time when US politicians talked politics and policy not the the biblical rhetoric they spew today. Americans should be at the very least embarrassed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.com
