OpenMarket.org: Votes Magically Appear for Liberal Ex-Comedian

  • DanH · 1 year ago
    Ever wonder why no one attacks Canada? Because you can't rape the willing. You are all parasites on the world stage, stealing our drugs, our jobs, and cheating on every facit of NAFTA. It must be the French blood that makes all the cowards and backstabbers.

    Good boy!
  • Juanita31 · 1 year ago
    Thank you for your decent presidency, President Bush. I wish you and your family much happiness in the future. God bless you!
  • Juanita31 · 1 year ago
    Every time I try to reply to DanH, my reply comes under Denise D's post. So I don't get to agree with him. No worry though - he knows many of us feel the way he does.
  • CanadianDude22 · 1 year ago
    You seem to be misplacing your anger for your failed political party and overall political ideology on us Canadians. Everyone I speak to only has good things to say about Canada (fun fact I sound American but people outside North America are pleased to find out on XBOX LIVE that I'm Canadian, now they only have good things to say) save for lunatics like you that can't handle the world is changing for the better and becoming more progressive each successive day.

    Stealing your jobs, your drugs, and cheating on a free-trade agreement? You disgust me. Your venomous words resemble the same racist "conservative" talking points that try to come to a conclusion that all their failures in life are due to "those dirt Jews stealing money and controlling the world" or "those damn Asians come to my country and cheat me out of a job" or "those blacks got that affirmative action thing" or even perhaps "those damn gays in America are causing God to smite us". You have a psychologically illness, I'll pray for you.

    There were so many that were saying, "God will cause the right candidate to win during this election, all the polls are wrong and this country will not go down a road of tyranny and socialism". You people cannot be reasoned with, I only hope your children will be more open to better change for the world.

    It seems McCain got his slogan half right, it's not "Country First", but "People First" and the people have spoken, in America and abroad. Live with it.
  • bigbooga · 1 year ago
    A lot of self-righteousness coming from someone living in a country that basically exists at the US's whim. Whats the defense force consist of up there again? A couple guys and a dog? And yeah, I can see why you'd have no probs w/ US trade; you're lovin that X-box aren't you? With a Live account connected to the Internet that you use to make sure foreigners know you're not one of those lowlife Americans? Yeah about that Internet - you're welcome. How those Nikes fit, okay? Go good w/ your Levis. Bet all that gaming makes you thirsty for some Mountain Dew..
    Oh and +2 for the mocking quotes around "conservative" - see what he did there folks? THAT'S GOLD

    I am the author of the above blog post, and my wife is French. There's nothing wrong with "French blood," as Dan H. suggests. And NAFTA, on balance, was good for both the U.S. and Canada.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    How in the world can you "cheat" on FREE trade?
  • Jason · 1 year ago
    Because there is no such thing as free trade. In order for free trade to exist you have to have the exact same everything i.e. taxes, currency, etc. Free trade is a myth. If you want to know how to cheat look up Value Added Tax or how China purposefully deflates their currency. Much like communism or the UN things look really on paper, but are horrible in reality.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    So national control over a nations own currency is "cheating"? Cheating by whose rules?

    If NAFTA established some rules that the parties agreed to and then broke, I guess that could be called cheating. If so, what were the rules and how were they broken?
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    Bush was cheating on the war in Iraq with much serious consequences for your country. Anyway, at least there's many good Americans who doesn't let their rage and their bitterness leads their mind and humanity. You should be ashame to think that other people except you are not decent and don't have the right to live a good life. You're probably very religious. Your kindness and charity are visible.
  • Juanita31 · 1 year ago
    Denise D., You say,,,, "Your kindness and charity are visible." How about yours?
    Whose rage and bitterness? You must be mistaking us conservatives for liberals. Did you see us rioting in the streets? No, so stop parroting the American and Canadian news media. By the way, did you also vote for Al Franken, ha, ha.
    Also, "Bush was cheating on the war in Iraq with much (sic) serious consequences for your country." Well, all of the liberal political leaders in Washington voted for the war in Iraq along with Bush, so they must all have been cheating. Is that what you mean?
    At least you called the terrorists terrorrists. And, don't worry, we won't pardon your Engllish mistakes.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    Since it is the only language you seem to understand beside insults, I'll pray for you. You really need it. Religeously yours Juanita31.
    P.S. I don't want your pardon...I'm very proud to speak more than one language as imperfect as it is. Au revoir Madame...et que Dieu vous protège!
  • Juanita31 · 1 year ago
    I pray that Al Franken et al will not be able to steal the election from Sen Norm Coleman.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    I'm sorry, but this post is pretty goofy. The idea that an election is being stolen because a few irregularities come to light when the count is "in the noise' is over-the-top, hysterical paranoia.

    Face it, the Republicans screwed up and are getting beaten fair and square. If they hadn't screwed up, someone like Al wouldn't be a candidate in the first place, let alone manage to get close enough for a recount.

    You lost on your own.
  • Javahead · 1 year ago
    Canadians who want free speech rights, individual rights and property rights have been blocked by voter fraud by the socialists who stole power in 1968. Once they gain it they hang on like leeches. Nothing is beneath them in their quest for power and the Canadian media are the propaganda arm.
    Our recent election where we reelected a Conservative has prevented us from having a real effective government because they cheated enough to deny him a majority. Now he is hampered and undermined by the lefties declaring that they will vote against everything and anything he wants to change - including jail time for convicted criminals and a cut to govenment financing of pornography.
    The lefties are the ones who want that terrorist back in Canada - not the normal people!
    I hope America can find some protection from the Marxist Obama by taking control of Congress away from the Leftie Liberals.
    Canadians don't want to be Soviet Canukistan but once you "give them a chance" to do their communist thing you have an uphill battle getting rid of the bas***ds.
    At least you have a great Constitution, America - use it to the fullest. I don't think America knows what kind of pig (or mutt) in a poke they just bought. One of them wears lipstick.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    Canada hasn't had a fair election since 1968? Sure, right. Boy what a poor looser.
  • Javahead · 1 year ago
    By the way - that Acorn scourge was up here in Canada during our last election.
    The Conservative Party we elected would have had a majority if not for the dirty rotten cheating and propaganda machine of the *spit* left.
  • rlapaugh · 1 year ago
    To CanadianDude22:
    Instead of wasting all thos good bombs on Iraq, perhaps we should drop them
    on your faggot head! Back in WWII you people had balls, now you are no better
    than the French. You have hid behind the U.S. since 1945 and let our young, brave
    men die for your pansy asses. One platoon of Marines should be enough to take
    out your excuse of a country, so as soon as we have one free - LOOK OUT!!!!
  • rlapaugh · 1 year ago
    TO: CanadianDude22
    What has happened to your country since 1945? You used to have balls! But
    since "45", you are as bad as the French! Instead of wasting all those good bombs
    in Iraq, we should drop thm on YOUR head! Canada has been hiding behind the
    U.S. since 1945, and letting our brave men do all the fighting and dieing. One
    Marine platoon should be enough to take out your pansy assed country, so as
    soon as one is free - LOOK OUT!!!!
  • Dona' Adolphi · 1 year ago
    Ma'am,

    Keep it up and actually if you have the zip press on. Thank you once again for being on the Hannity and idiot (Colmes) and speaking out against McCain. You have spoken for many true conservatives when you blasted him on his positions and attitude with working with the emeny just across the aisle. Keep pressing on with the tried and tested conservative viewpoints.

    From all of my right wing conservatives We Love You....

    Sincerely,

    Kramer

  • LG7 · 1 year ago
    He wasn't funny as a comedian and he is just as funny now. Liberals have become intolerant of opinions that differ from the Party line.
    They can not deal with anyone who will not play the race card as they want it played. Anyone who is caucasian is bad.
    They are bigots, revisionist as far as history goes.
    They are narrow minded and shallow.
    They are hetrophobic zenophiles and neosocialists.
    They believe in a one party America.
    They are the new Nazis.
  • Paky · 1 year ago
    I am from MN and having crude Frankin for 6 years is a horrifying thought.
    Frankin, Acorn and the Dems are stealing the election from Coleman.
    What can be done to stop the fraud is the question?
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    I guess the first step would be to stop simply asserting that it exists and provide some evidence. You know, "beyond a reasonable doubt."

    So how about it?

    PS - Frankin might be horrifying for MN, but he would be a hoot for the rest of the country! I can't wait to see what SNL does with it!
  • guitman · 1 year ago
    Any state that would make Jesse Ventura Govenor deserves Al Franken.If it was'nt for the importanace of checks and balances in the senate,I would say good riddance on Minn.You want him,you got him.
  • BobC · 1 year ago
    I am a Conservative voting Canadian (which in American terms means I vote for a party slightly to the left of Democrats). It is none of my business and probably not my right to say but, watching your election from afar, I was flabbergasted at the vitriol, hatred and intolerance for dissenting opinion that democrat supporters have displayed during and indeed after the election. America has long been a democratic beacon of hope to the world and I fear that the comportment of the left has lowered the bar so much that we may not see a recovery to healthy political discussion and dissent in my lifetime. Off topic but relevant to some of the comments previously posted: Canada has a sizeable contingent of troops on the ground in Afghanistan and is one of the few Nato countries helping to do the heavy lifting in combat-heavy areas. Although I agree that our armed forces are not anywhere near the size of our American friend's our forces are performing bravely and honourably in that theatre and have paid the price in blood.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    Can you give an example of democratic vitrol? I remember getting quite a few hate e-mails from my paleo-conservative republican relatives, but nothing like that from the democrats. I'm sure it existed to some degree, but I don't recall it being in-your-face and upfront like the paleo-conservatives.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    Have you ever watch FOX News and listen to Ann Coulter comments?
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    Denise, Ann Coulter is a Republican, not a Democrate. I was wondering if there were examples of Democratic vitrol. Maybe what was meant by "democrate" in the post above is "democratic process". In which case, I agree, it has been rather uncivil. And, as always, both sides have some blame. But it was the Republican's, not the Democrates, who made name calling and mud slinging their basic strategy. It seemed to be all they had.

    PS - I absolutly, positively, have NEVER watched FOX News or listened to Ann Coulter comments. That would be irrational, as well as painful.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    I agree 100% with you Alan. My answer relative to Fox and Coulter wasn't really in response to your question (my English needs to improve; sometimes I'm confusing even myself ). It was more a kind of general remark and an example of vitriol elements in US. Of course both sides have some blame and some Democrats can be unpleasant and even harsh from time to time. However, irrationality and fear are some of the Republicans trade marks and it leads to excessive language and behaviors. If criticizing our own country is wrong and anti-patriotic, if trying to find some solutions to make our country progress and improve is marxism, if questionning our good and wrong doings deserve mud slinging, when will it be possible to put a grown-up discussion on the table? Of course I'm Canadian but I love the United States for a lot of reasons and one of them is the beacon of hope the US represents in the world. However, compassion and openminded is necessary to do the job. The right wing makes me pessimistic about the result.
  • Roy · 1 year ago
    I am personally offended by Mr. Franken being referred to as an Ex-Comedian. In order to be an Ex-comedian he would have to have been intentionally funny. Laughing at a poor mentally unstable individual is offensive, it does not make him a comedian.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    Mentally ill like Ann Coulter and you should take Prozac. I know, I'm a little frog French Canadian and you don't care about other countries because you're so above all of us. But let me tell you something. Stop seeking for a war with terrorists because you are the next real danger to your country in the next few years. President Obama shouldn't discard the threat you represent for the moderates or the left. You're pretending to love AMERICA but which one? Yours is white, angry and dangerous. Don't pardon me for my English mistakes, you don't deserve it because I'm sure you are androids, not Americans.
  • Delfar · 1 year ago

  • Hans Bader · 1 year ago
    I am the author of the above blog post. Are you calling me anti-French, Denise? If so, that claim is obviously untrue: indeed, my wife is French, I have friends and former co-workers from Quebec and Canada, and I have never claimed to be "above" other countries. I will be sure to tell my Asian, black, and Hispanic relatives about your claim that "my" America is "white, angry, and dangerous." They will get a good laugh out of that claim.
  • psmo · 1 year ago
    their is nothing fair about the media being in the tank for a candidate. all you hear is that their CHOICE is the best and they always bash republicans, there was fraud somewhere. lets accept it and not point fingers as to who's to blame for what. communists do suck though.
  • Nancyf · 1 year ago
    LMAO!!! Sour grapes.....ur all repub crooks and ya know it.
  • Cori · 1 year ago
    I do not, and I never have in the past, registered Republican. I do not support, nor do I particularly like the GOP. I am equally disappointed with both major political parties.

    I figured most of us who hang around OpenMarket.org were either libertarians, or leftists coming to make snide remarks. I don't see any evidence to the contrary yet.

  • bigbooga · 1 year ago
    I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but thanks for that verbal belly-flop, it was amusing to see you stumble through that awkward attempt at a coherent message. But if I had to guess I'd say the general idea was the typical French-Canadian pavlovian response of DON'T FIGHT!!

    I especially adore foreigners that haven't a clue what my country (or other large, relevant nations with real problems) may be like, yet offer expert opinion and exhort its inhabitants to "wake up" and "let me tell you something" etc... good stuff
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    At least you call yourself bigbooga instead of bigbrain...it's a beginning. By the way, if the US have the right to spread democracy by going to war in countries who didn't ask for it, my little opinion about your country shouldn't be that offensive. It doesn't kill anybody.The freedom of speach still alive and when we are smart and curious, yes we're trying to learn about other countries. Particularly from the US because the decisions of your government could have a lot of impacts in the neighbourhood. A little reminder bigbooga...after the US soldiers, the Canadians soldiers are having the second highest number of casualties in Afghanistan. But of course, we have nothing to say...Sorry for the verbal belly-flop. If you prefer, your next comment could be in French. It will be a pleasure to read you.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago

    Canada is a great country, and I always enjoy a visit to Toronto. I look forward to us North Americans someday being politically unified. I think we will all be tri-lingual, English/Spanish/French. There is a GREAT future ahead for us all!

    Thanks Alan, I appreciate. My English is not sharp but at least I'm trying. I agree with your vision of the continent but there's a long way to go.

    DD - Recommended Reading - Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. Come back when you're eyes are open.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    Sure. Fear, fear, fear. Old argument from the right. If reasonable capitalism, compassion, social justice, respect for other countries, tolerance and separation of church & politic are fascism, I take it!
  • ddisanass · 1 year ago
    You're an idiot!!!

    “In the greatest hoax of modern history, Russia's ruling “socialist workers party,” the Communists, established themselves as the polar opposites of their two socialist clones, the National Socialist German Workers Party (quicknamed "the Nazis") and Italy's Marxist-inspired Fascisti, by branding both as "the fascists." Jonah Goldberg is the first historian to detail the havoc this spin of all spins has played upon Western thought for the past 75 years, very much including the present moment. Love it or loathe it, "Liberal Fascism" is a book of intellectual history you won't be able to put down—-in either sense of the term.”
    —Tom Wolfe, author of Bonfire of the Vanities and I Am Charlotte Simmons.

    “'It is my argument that American liberalism is a totalitarian political religion,' Jonah Goldberg writes near the beginning of Liberal Fascism. My first reaction was that he is engaging in partisan hyperbole. That turned out to be wrong. Liberal Fascism is nothing less than a portrait of 20th-century political history as seen through a new prism. It will affect the way I think about that history-and about the trajectory of today's politics-forever after.”
    —Charles Murray, W.H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, author of Human Accomplishment and co-author (with Richard J. Herrnstein) of The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life.

  • andy tokyo · 1 year ago
    The right is fear, fear, fear? The left was totally taken over by it's hatred and fear of Bush. Live in reality? The hatred espoused by the left over the past 8 years equals that of the Nazis or Italian fascists. No denying that.
  • Denise D. · 1 year ago
    The labels are nothing else than a lack of ideas, emptyness of content. With two wars and the worst economic meltdown of the last 80 years, the left had something to be afraid of. The worst President ever with 27% approval. No denying that. Those are facts.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    ddisanass, Denise D. has a very good point of view, and you might want to take it serriously. She recomends REASONABLE capitalism. The idea of the REASONABLE as a constraint on the RATIONAL is a very important consideration. The real difference between the system of governence that we have and those of "Fascism" and "Communism" is that we are not rational extreamists, rather we are reasonable.

    Libertarianism may be just as extream as Fascism and Communism, if the value of freedom is pushed to its limit, and is not compromised by other social values in a REASONABLE way.

    If you are interested in the distinction between the rational and the reasonable, I suggest you take a look at John Rawls. His Lectures on the History of Political Philosopy would be a good source.

    Available, by the way, at that great American communist/fascist institution, the public library, for free.
  • Cori · 1 year ago
    if this "just and fair" system is so perfect, then why is it failing so spectacularly?

    don't say capitalism, because there is no capitalism in america.
  • ReACTIONary · 1 year ago
    Who in the world said that our system is perfect? In fact, our system is just and fair because is isn't perfectionist - that is, we do not sacrifice all other social values for one particular value. We don't optimize freedom at the total expense of equality and we don't optimize equality at the total expense of freedom. That is what REASONABLE means.

    As far as whether or not we are a capitalist society, that is how we identify ourselves, and for good reason. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
