Speaking of idiot savants, linda says, "That's been crystal clear since she first started posting here, twelve. She's FILLED with anger and hatred...and is still confused about us."

Here she goes again, analizing people when she's begged others not to do it to her.


No, linda, it's not me with the anger and hatred ...it is you, as proven by your posts.

You hate :
the poor
children
other countries
peace
honesty
the environment
fair taxation
Clinton
the elderly
liberals
answering direct questions that conflict with your narrow mind set
yourself


And your "thermometer" of smiley faces goes up and up with your anger.....evident for all to see.


Oh, and as far as the idiot savant thing.....you CAN google and that is your one and only talent......

No, kiara, it's your on-going defensiveness and childishness that I laugh at. And I have no 'gripe' with Germany ....as I pointed out....they both have higher rates of unemployment than we do.
As does France. Might even tie into how much socialism plays a part in their economies.


When one looks at the world economy we, the US, aren't doing that bad, especially considering all we've been through in the last 3 1/2 years, that other nations didn't have to deal with nor go through.


Get off your continuing high horse....it's so unbecoming. The Canadians I've known for years certainly don't behave the way you do when ANY mention of Canada takes place.

And Irene was also from Canada...she NEVER acted like you do....extremely defensive at the mention of Canada. One again, you are only one person there....your points of view..your opinions don't speak for all of Canada. So when the Canadian unemployment rate, the Canadian blocked media, the health care system is mentioned....it DOESN'T REFLECT ON KIARA PERSONALLY. And thank heaven for that....least some people think all Canadians are like you. I know better, they're not.

Linda

If you are talking about drilling in Alaska, it wouldn't make an iota of difference as far as dependance on oil goes. It would be a pittance in comparison the the US imports. Besides, the people in Alaska are not too thrilled about this idea.

I was doing some research on the Alberta tar sands and they have more oil reserves than the entire Middle East put together and we are still on a friendly basis with Canada. As they supply the most oil to us now, we don't have to worry about terrorists or quagmire political situations in the Middle East.

As far as jobs and outsourcing it all started with Reagan and his trickle-down theory. Bush Sr. started NAFTA and now President Bush has supported all outsourcing and is promoting the South American Trade treaty. I understand people wanting the lowest price however we should not be paying incentives and tax credits to corporations to move these jobs overseas and Kerry made that clear last evening.

As for the rest of your question, the answer is in the debate transcript.



KERRY: Well, first of all, the president's figures of $2.2 trillion just aren't accurate. Those are the fuzzy math figures put together by some group that works for the campaign. That's not the number.

Number two, John McCain and I have a proposal, jointly, for a commission that closes corporate giveaway loopholes. We've got $40 billion going to Bermuda. We've got all kinds of giveaways. We ought to be shutting those down.

And third, credible: Ladies and gentlemen, in 1985, I was one of the first Democrats to move to balance the budget. I voted for the balanced budget in '93 and '97. We did it. We did it. And I was there.

P.S.
Since Im not a Kerry or Bush spokesperson you will have to read the transcript.

And isn't it funny that you answered these posts but when I stick it to you with the truth and facts to refute your goofy theories and wacky ideas...you DON'T answer.


As to the disturbed...you're still very upset about Rusty's very apt description of your ongoing mental problems and the fact that nobody else argued with his assessment.

Duh........... Linda_K.............

I am questioning why you have to bring Canada into almost every topic when the topic is NOT related at all to Canada. It's a distraction by you to try to get away from the truth that is being presented in the topic and you can't defend Bush so you try to change the discussion.

Your knowledge of Canadians seems to be limited to a couple that your husband hired (bet that made you puke) and to one other that posted on this board previously. Your ignorance of Canada that you've displayed on this board since I've been here would make almost everyone that lives up there laugh their azz off.

I am not Irene so I don't have to act like Irene. Do you think all people act the same just because it happens to be a neo-con trait that you are so proud of because you follow like a lemming? Please understand that some of us pride ourselves on being able to think and act like individuals. IOW, I don't want to be like everyone else. Get it?



Oh no, trai. Don't let Linda_K know that Canada presently has the most oil in the world.... she'll blab to her Bush buddy and then Canada will be next to be "liberated". But then again, it might get rid of that pesky border. lol

trai -

If you are talking about drilling in Alaska, it wouldn't make an iota of difference as far as dependance on oil goes. It would be a pittance in comparison the the US imports. Besides, the people in Alaska are not too thrilled about this idea.

Oh but I beg to differ with your conclusions. The Alaskan people have stated LOUD and clear they want the drilling...check it out for yourself. They want the jobs that would come with it. The last I read the Senator and the governor and the majority of the Alaskians DO want the drilling. I've posted the back up for this before.

And there are those that very much disagree on just how much oil is there. Just so far, the left and especially the environmentalists have won.




I was doing some research on the Alberta tar sands and they have more oil reserves than the entire Middle East put together and we are still on a friendly basis with Canada. LOL...somewhat....some of their leaders have been quoted as NOT at all supportive of this administration. Think one even got fired or resigned because of call our President a foul name. But having them and their government and people allowing drilling there are separate issues. Have you read where their government is willing to allow HUGE drilling compounds to be build to extract this oil? I ask, because I haven't.



As they supply the most oil to us now, we don't have to worry about terrorists or quagmire political situations in the Middle East. Say What???? Sure we do...the whole world does. All the sources of oil the world uses depends on how much control is put on the amount released. When they cut back on production...everybody's cost goes up.



As far as jobs and outsourcing it all started with Reagan and his trickle-down theory. Bush Sr. started NAFTA and now President Bush has supported all outsourcing and is promoting the South American Trade treaty.

Let me put it this way...NAFTA was discussed under Reagan but it was the clinton administration that passed it and clinton who signed it. IF they had not wanted it, they would have voted it down. IF clinton had not liked it remember he could have used his VETO power. He didn't. It was HIS administration that started NAFTA and neither kerry NOR President Bush are calling for it's elimination.




I understand people wanting the lowest price however we should not be paying incentives and tax credits to corporations to move these jobs overseas and Kerry made that clear last evening. Yes, I know that. But just because HE says it doesn't mean it's true or that it will work. There are many economists who have said putting those restriction on companies is going to REALLY cause more job losses.



As for the rest of your question, the answer is in the debate transcript. I didn't want kerry's words, I was hoping for your own opinion. kerry doesn't have a clue.


the president's figures of $2.2 trillion just aren't accurate. Those are the fuzzy math figures put together by some group that works for the campaign. See...first of all kerry's been asked for MONTHS what all he has proposed was going to cost and where he was going to get that money from...he never answered. Still hasn't. Then kerry says:"That's not the number." But won't give his own numbers to anyone. Keeps avoiding it all together...just like he still hasn't released his military records. Notice as soon as him signing the 180 release came up...you hardly hear him make a peep about that anymore. There's a reason for that.



Number two, John McCain and I have a proposal, jointly, for a commission that closes corporate giveaway loopholes. We've got $40 billion going to Bermuda. We've got all kinds of giveaways. We ought to be shutting those down. Again, the opposite opinions say it will cause even more job loss.


And third, credible: Ladies and gentlemen, in 1985, I was one of the first Democrats to move to balance the budget. I voted for the balanced budget in '93 and '97. We did it. We did it. And I was there.

We ALL want a balanced budget, but I think one difference between the left and the right is the right can see that there were extremely high spending for a reason....and even thought they complain about it...they've ONLY griped because enough hasn't been spent on each of their pet programs. Mean...they wanted MORE to be spent than WAS spent.


I don't recall our budget EVER being balanced....but will conceed that we were 'projecting' balance surplus' near the end of clinton's administration. BUT they were because the tech boom was doing so well..people were selling their investments a lot to have the money for other purposes...and they were taxed on those profits. Thus putting more funds into the budget. And that can and will happen again when the economy picks up some more steam. Always has worked that way...always will. Matter of fact when our jobs WERE really increasing at GREAT rates each month...they projected deficit was going to be down by $100B dollars less than was previously expected. Why? Because more were working and more taxes were being collected..thus putting more money into the general fund. That's how's it's always worked...and that's what happened during the clinton administration. It's NOT because he did something wonderful and it worked so well. In his first term his economy policy was failing...it wasn't until the Republicans took control of the Congress that the economy changed. And they our policies....and they can't take credit for the 'better' times' either...because THEY didn't cause the tech boom.



P.S.
Since Im not a Kerry or Bush spokesperson you will have to read the transcript.


I watched the debate AND I've been quoting the transcript. I was hoping to get your own answers to my questions rather than a repeat of kerry's mantra.

Clinton actually created millions of jobs.

No he didn't. The tech boom is what created all those jobs.



Bush is the first president since Hoover to lose jobs.

President Bush didn't lose those jobs. NOTHING he did caused the 1 million job loss immediately following 9-11. It was the action of the terrorists who cause those jobs to be lost.





Yes always like the Republicans blame other people for what happened...


Sorry officer I didn't kill my neighbor, it was the gun I bought from terrorist organizations.

Sorry loan company I didn't pay my mortgage. I lost my job because the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

Sorry parents of soldier in Iraq that your son/daughter. He didn't die because of land mind that exploded in front of him. Don't blame Bush for his death, blame Saddam or Osama.

Sorry American people for the 9/11 attacks. Don't blame the faulty interlligence by our government agencies, but rather blame the terrorists.



Who else do you want to blame Linda. You want to blame God for creating the world and causing all the problems we have today??

In defense of Irene, she has disagreed with your position on Canada also. Here are just a couple of Irene's comments in defense of Canada..I could go on and on. Linda, you have a fanatically narrow minded nationalistic position


"And what would you have Canada do about Korea, Linda? Break our commitment to the U.S. and not send our troups to Afganistan this summer and send them to Korea instead?"

Irene

"Linda, I think North Korea is more likely to aim nuclear weapons at the U.S. than at Canada. Ditto for any nations that buy such weapons from North Korea, particularly since your President seems hellbent on pissing off the entire world."

"Unfortunately, nuclear fallout doesn't respect national boundaries and we're right next door to you."

Irene

"Canada hasn't come out in support of the U.S. position and as far as I know we don't have any connections with Saddam. We have plenty of oil for example."

Irene

"I do appreciate socialized medicine here in Canada, knowing that no one will be denied medical care because they can't afford it."

Irene

logansdad - Yes always like the Republicans blame other people for what happened...

Yes, we tend to recognize REALITY more than some on the left are able to do. Reality being that because of the 9-11 attacks 1 million jobs were lost.

A reality the left NEVER wants to blame on the cupprit...AQ, binladen...no they're such Patriots they think their own President is to blame.


Another reality that we went through a recession. Not a recession CAUSED by clinton, not a recession caused by President Bush's economic policies. Heck it started, according to which economists you believe, either three months before he took office or two months after he took office.
Just a recession, period. Jobs are ALWAYS lost during a recession...no matter who is president. It's just that the left here can't comprehend the truth. They want to blame...blame...blame...rather than unite against our enemies and blame THEM.
--------------

Well...here come the second twin in the tag-a-long group.

Helen. did you not comprehend what I said. I said Irene was NOT DEFENSIVE and didn't ACT like kiara does. She was one Canadian with the wonderful ability to disagree with the context of the statement/subject...but not CONTINUE TO MAKE IT ALWAYS ABOUT HERSELF...like kaira does. There's a BIG difference....and you're once again ignoring it.
But that's the usual coming from you of course. No surprises there.

What can I say, trai? It's a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada.

Anyways, yeager did start a good topic and I firmly believe that we should seriously look at the way China is becoming the economic power at our expense. China has recently doubled its energy consumption because of this and prices of goods from there will rise. People in North America almost worship Walmart and dollar stores and don't even appreciate quality anymore when it comes to buying. Many of the quality items they prefer are now made overseas and are not like the originals. It's a throw-away society and that creates problems with the environment so it's a vicious circle. The middle class that produced the goods is slowly disappearing...... the jobs are gone and it's difficult to ever get them back again.

To laud and defend a president that supports these policies (where the lowest price is best, no matter the ultimate cost), is foolish just because a voter finds that job loss doesn't affect them personally. Brings to mind that pic of Bush in the warehouse saying how he was helping small business and they had to cover up all the Made in China labels.

Bush is rich and he's clueless about the working class.......... he never had a real job in the real world.

If you had ever addressed Irene as you do Kiara and others here you would have had your butt reamed. Plus, you were under the control of a moderator.

kerry's policies are not going to change one thing about NAFTA and other trade agreements that our CONGRESS has set in place. Both during the clinton administration nor this one. NOTHING. And his other trade policy suggestions will only, in the opinion of those who evalute such actions...will only increase the job loss...make MORE companies go over seas.....just like where and why teresa kerry's businesses are mainly overseas. Cheap labor. No one HERE is going to work for what those in other countries do...and kerry won't have the ability to get our workers to work for the wages they do. It's a fact the left is going to have to accept....or FORCE kerry, should he win, to reverse NAFTA.

Yes I can see where that would scare people...but hey this is the same group that supposrts a person who wants a "Global Test"... as fenix used to say on here, the US needs to get into globalization, but now that is happening the left is realizing as some of us said before that it would not be good... NAFTA is a crock and we should remove ourselves from it.

DUH........ when did I ever say my opinions did? I quoted numerical facts about the Canadian economy and it got you all upset because you were proven wrong with your ignorance. YOU should talk, you sit here day in and day out and speak for Bush and all of America like you are the country's only mouthpiece. At least I take a break now and again and see the real world and actually work in it and I see the good and bad in both countries because I am in either one or the other.

Helen. did you not comprehend what I said. I said Irene was NOT DEFENSIVE and didn't ACT like kiara does.

Linda_K, I already explained to you that I am not Irene and you shouldn't expect me to think and act like Irene because in Canada people are individuals. They are all different people, they agree and disagree, they do not look, act, talk, eat, or sleep the same as one another. Just because people live in the same country they are not all the very same. They do not all agree on every issue. Some like me even have guns and others don't. Some vote one way and others vote a different way. Get it?

Furthermore, I do not know Irene but she always struck me as a very sensible poster.

Listen helen....this is getting REAL old...very fast.

First this is NOT your business...although you can NEVER stay out of it when it comes to your tag-a-long.

Second it was NOT I who FIRST brought up the subject of unemployment. Recheck your reading abilities...you and kiara. But I did respond with BOTH CANADA AND GERMANY having higher unemployment rates than WE do.


If this bothers you and kiara...that's just too bad. I will respond to whatever I wish to respond to. The fact that kiara gets her panties in a bunch each time Canada is mentioned is HER PROBLEM not mine.


Be clear....neither of you will stop me from comparing other countries to our country in my posts. And if and when there is something I disagree with that is done in Canada I WILL speak my mind. You both don't like it. TOUGH. Get used to it or ignore it....because kiara wants to continue to make it personal is her problem...not mine. I've spoken as I did in most of the quotes from Irene about how I feel since they're so worried about what we do HERE....then I speak to what they do or don't do.

And I will continue to do so. Irene NEVER made her posts negative and personal like kiara does...which you defend. NEVER.

Once again, Linda_K........ you can cry and scream and stomp your feet but you look like an idiot trying to compare me to Irene because her and I are two different people. So don't expect me to act like she did while she was here.

Go back and check all the topics since I first said I don't worship and adore Bush. YOU were almost always the first one to mention Canada ...... usually with some far-out propaganda that I corrected. I thought logical explanations backed up with facts would show how wrong you were everytime. Too bad if you see that as personal.

Yes, twelve, that was Irene. A wonderful Canadian lady who I respected enormously. She wasn't into crystal ball readings and personal slings of insults because we disagreeing on American foreign policy. She just posted her opinions and never got defensive...just stated her own opinions. I've missed her posting here.

edited to respond to something else helen said:

You're beginning to become aware of the differences between kiara and Irene. But you're still missing the point. Irene wasn't the kind of person kiara is. Irene acted like an adult and NEVER said the kinds of things kaira says to others...but in this case to me.
Irene never would have posted 'cram it up your azz'...and other uncivil comments that kiara has to me. So it never would have become an issue between Irene and myself. She had self control and could moderate her own statements and actions and act like a grown-up when disagreeing on the different issues. Kiara totally lacks that same self control, obviously.

Linda, It seems to me that you should be able to understand Kiara's position in supporting those good aspects of her country since you do the same with the U.S. In fact, you go overboard in support of your country as if it's the best country in the world only because you were born here. I like both Canada and the United States. I'm sure that if I could travel outside this country that I could find many countries that I like...some maybe even better than the U.S. Consider what Irene so graciously pointed out to you when she said, "Linda, I think North Korea is more likely to aim nuclear weapons at the U.S. than at Canada. Ditto for any nations that buy such weapons from North Korea, particularly since your President seems hellbent on pissing off the entire world." "Unfortunately, nuclear fallout doesn't respect national boundaries and we're right next door to you." After reading that carefully, don't you begin to understand why educated Canadians are interested in who we elect to lead this country? Kiara has also pointed out the fact that our economies are interrelated. Does that impress you as a reason that she and other Canadians would be concerned about who makes our economic policy?


..."No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."

Linda, just so you know, NAFTA isn't a one time deal - it's signed and amended by each President starting with Bush & Mulrony, then Clinton then Bush Jr. Clinton secured a great deal of Canadian oil at an undervalued price for decades to come.

BTW, if Helen can support how logical and informative Irene was........ more power to her. Helen is one of the most informative posters here and has been around a long time and I respect her opinion.

How did Irene act when propaganda about Canada was continually posted?

How would Irene have responded to the accusation that Canada was one of the main countries in the oil-for-food scam when I responded that there is no proof?

How would Irene have responded to the allegation that Canada's entire health system sucked and was unsafe when I responded to say that it's not the perfect system and that work has to be done and I showed comparisons with other countries?

How would Irene have responded to the propaganda that Canada is almost a 3rd world uninformed country because they do not get Fox TV when I responded that they have almost every other network available that the US does as well as their own informative programming?

How would Irene have responded when the Canadians got killed in the friendly fire incident in Afghanistan and someone here laughed and said they hoped all Canadian troops would be killed there? I can't remember but I may have got upset because someone I know was there when it happened......... yup, I may have taken that one a bit too personal.

But, bottom line.......... Irene and I are two different people. Does anyone know why Irene left? She left before I started posting at the RT.

But correct me if you think I'm wrong, but our President couldn't just say 'nope...I'm done' and throw the whole deal out the window.. without approval from our Congress. And I don't know how that would work in your country. But in this election, kerry is NOT calling for it to be changed nor done away with.


And yes, cheap oil during the clinton administration....maybe he's tied to the oil companies too? I just find it so very preposterous what people say that about President Bush and oil when we [our country] needs and uses tremendous quanties of oil..'no matter the party of the currently serving president'.

And hoping it doesn't embarass you, KD, but you're another Canadian I can disagree with on the issues and do it in a civil way. Least up until now.

Oh Kiara, the whole thing boils down to you hurt linda's pathetic widdle feelings with your "bad words" .
You know how delicate her sensibilities are...so never disagree with her or prove a point or show her the facts....it wounds her deeply.

However, I have seen her many times attack Canada when it had NOTHING to do with the topic. It's part of her hate regime....."hate every country to stop terrorism"......it's her, and bush's, "plan".

Kiara,

I didn't post those comment's of Irene to promote her as a poster but rather to show that other posters here have had disagreements with linda about Canada. In other words, you are not alone in that respect. Actually, Irene and I did not get along well.

Thanks, Helen. I understand. Like I said, I wasn't posting here at the RT when Irene was but I do remember her being here and on the EO at times and I've seen her on other boards.

I can't believe that someone would want to compare me to someone else just because we happen to presently live in the same country, like we should share the same views and post identical.

Yes, crowfarm.... I know it's part of her hate regime and if Linda_K insists on bringing propaganda about Canada (such as the abundance of terrorist cells funding the CPP) into each and every unrelated topic, I will continue to correct her and remind her that she is being very ignorant. Sometimes it's a full-time job and a dirty one but I'll do it whenever possible. And just so she knows, I don't feel the need to have to suck up to anyone here to voice my opinion nor do I want or need her approval.

It's called undeveloped thinking from a small mind. The same type of people think that all Blacks are lazy and carry guns.
