So, Im watching tv at lunch today... And I swear to you all that I almost hit the ceiling and shot fire from my eyes. Good ol' right-wing-extremist Pat Buchanan, going on about Canada.
"Soviet Canuckistan"
What I discerned from that statement alone:
Soviet: apparently we're communist now, one of the arch-nemeses of the capitalistic United States.
Canuck: A friendly term for canadian EXCEPT when its being used as condescending slang.
-istan: As in AfghanISTAN. Essentially calling us all a bunch of terrorists.
Basically, he went on to talk about how canada is a safe-haven for potential terrorists (probably due to the 'cultural diversity') and he called for finger printing and background checks of all non-caucasian people crossing the borders who may be considered potential terrorists. Now, the idea of more stringent regulations regarding border crossings is one thing, a very necessary thing, but there are better ways then racial and cultural discrimination. Thats just fucking ridiculous. He essentially blamed Canada (cue the South Park song) for the terrorist attacks of September 11th. What the hell was the point of the whole anti-racism campaign if the government is going to be doing exactly what theyre saying not to do? It goes on anyway, and its sick, but this is cultural suicide.
<sarcasm/indignancy>
Im guessing the next step is re-institution of slavery, and abolishion of women's sufferage, gay-rights, and Canada for that matter, because blacks are nothing but criminals, women cant think for themselves, gays are god haters, and canada is a haven for them all. Im nearly physically ill at the thought he is somehow in a position of respect, and power, in that he has access to the media, to spew his almost nazi-like tripe across the US and propagandize the citizens into hating Canada because I mean everythings just our fault isnt it?
</sarcasm/indignancy>
Now its one thing to jokingly poke fun at canadians, but this is no joke. I take it as a personal insult that he would say such a thing, after canada stands by the US on nearly EVERY single thing they dictate because we've only ever had one prime minister with the BALLS to stand up for their political beliefs and not fall in with the rest of the crowd (Pierre Trudeau). If we're such terrorists, Pat, why dont you just declare war on us? We'll just see how many damn countries support you (the USA) when you declare war on the most beloved country in the world, the 'best place to live' in the world, the one who helps out everyone unquestioningly. We put up with so much bullshit via politics it isnt even funny, yet here we are still helping the war on terrorism after you bombed some of our troops, here we are still keeping the peace in countries we had very little involvement in the conflicts of, and here we are being called enemies of the united states by some white supremist peice of shit who wouldnt know a terrorist from a hole in the ground.
Whatever respect I had for american politicians before is now officially out the window. If you want to make a point about needing tighter securities on the border, the largest undefended border in the world, then make your point without slandering a nation, make your point without alienating several cultures, and make your point without misinforming the public.
Im so utterly pissed off. You dont even understand... ARGH.
