The country should build a huge fence on its southern border!

The country should build a huge fence on its southern border!

POSTED: Friday, July 9, 2010, 10:36 AM

The country of course being Canada, which needs to brace itself for a wave of undocumented workers from the United States:

Stubbornly high unemployment rates got you down? Not sold on the economic recovery? Look no further than America's polite neighbor to the north, where jobs numbers are surging and home prices have been rising steadily for nearly a year.

Last month, Canada, a nation with roughly one tenth of our population, created about 10,000 more new jobs than America.

This story is obviously in error -- any country with socialized medicine and with "big government" regulations on mortgages and the financial sector could never create so many jobs.

    Canada doesn't have the incompetent Obama as President, Will. He can wreck anything that has to do with creating jobs -- except talk about doing it.

    Canada is making money from the huge rise in commodities. They have them in spades and have one of the worst pollution records in the world. We cant drill in the Artic reserve, they have no such problems with exploiting natural resources. Liberals love to glorify foregin countries and hold them up to be utopian and he does exactly the opposite by bad mouthing his own country every chance he gets.

    And gee, how is Canada doing these things? They CUT government spending. Canada kept regulating mortgages when Clinton made it immensely easier for people to get them. People went out and got mortgages they couldn't afford, and now they're defaulting on them. Even funnier was the European heads of state and the Canadian PM telling Obama that he couldn't spend his way out of recession, but most of the media didn't cover that...

    Those who want to stick by the Constitution's exact words and "original intent" never seem to read the fugitive slave clause; clause providing 3/5 representation in Congress for slave states; clause mandating the federal government's duty to suppress all insurrections (including slave revolts); clause prohibiting abolishing the African slave trade until 1808; or the clause mandating that state legislatures choose United States' senators. Our Constitution has only survived through amendments that were CONTRARY to the will of the Founding Fathers. Or perhaps those who support "original intent" would like to see a return to slavery and aristocratic rule.

    And right on cue, RG shows up to defend the libertarian lunatic tea partiers. Funny how that happens. Also hilarious is that those so "concerned" about "government tyranny" want to "take back America" by having Senators chosen by legislatures. But I am going to stock up on popcorn and watch RG and his libertarian extremist buds try to convince the American public that Senators should be selected by legislators. Pure entertainment.

    Even more on cue is TPS, spouting his tired catch phrase about lunatic libertarians to disparage a group of people with virtually no influence on actual policy. all to distract from the failure of the current president and congress.

    ===}}} all to distract from the failure of the current president and congress. {{{=== Of all the asinine lines of argumentation at Attytood - this has to be the most asinine. Right. I'm going to "distract" someone from the failure of the current president and Congress? Hilarious. Who am I going to distract, RG? Is it you - who constantly and endlessly post comments criticizing Obama and Congress? perhaps Batboy? Who is it that's such an idiot that they are "distracted" by my posts. Too funny.

    "Who am I going to distract, RG?" Yourself, TPS. Reality is much different then your dreamworld.
