The Rintrah Perspective

The PM has dismissed critics of the Afghan war because the critics do not see what is the “reality on the ground.” The reality on the ground is that Canadians are being killed. To say anything against the US is to be, it seems, anti-American.

I am not anit-American. I am, however, anti-American-policy. I also believe their procedures for dealing with situations is absurd. To go skipping down the merry road holding hands with the US because we don’t want to be anti-American is just ludicrous.

Americans are not oppressed. Americans are not being held down. There is very little stopping Americans. Except for the unfortunate lower half. They are crushed, ignored or walked over.

It is about money. Everything seems to be. And a lobby group has spent 38 or so million dollars to proclaim the sweet goodness that is Alberta oil to Americans.

Forget about clean air. Forget about other possible solutions to the energy question. Oil it is. Oil for one. Oil for all. Why? Because it is secure. It is not overseas. It is here. It is now. Oil, Oil, Oil.

And oil equals money. And money should never go into a pool where services can be provided for everyone. Unless that pool is located in the pocket of the insurrance companies.

Money pays for things. In Britain money pays for the Queen, her gardens, castles, staff and so on. But people complain that it is too expensive. On average a single UK taxpayer pays $1.28CDN per year for the Queen.

Yikes! This is absurd. Unless you live in Canada where the Conservative tax cuts will help you cover that and then you may even have enough money left over to go see a movie.

Maybe a movie where some jackass gets his hands on a missile launcher and blows up the left-wing socialist commie nazi fascist headquarters because he does not believe in gun control.

In BC, during the gun amnesty period, someone turned in a missile launcher. If gun control is a bad thing, I think there should still be restrictions on what people can actually get their hands on. Something to be said about the possibility of such an occurance.

Maybe it only happened once. Maybe. But once is enough. And that is how most Canadians feel about marriage. Most Canadians will get married only once. A few may get married twice. A very select group will marry more that that.

But gay marriage will end all of that, right? Because the mere possibility of marrying someone of the same sex will drive heterosexual persons to re-negotiate their sexual bias.

A friendly reminder for Americans:
