My hatred for Americans has been slowly increasing. First it was the housing issue, where American banks were giving massive loans to anyone with a pulse which resulted in many bankruptcies. Then there was the auto sector issue – the threat of taking all operations out of Canada which is leaving many Canadian auto workers in fear of losing their jobs To put the icing on the cake, we have these late night asses not only saying negative things about our country but also our brave troops fighting in Afghanistan.
On March 17, at 3 in the morning, a panel of four people on the show Red Eye, carried on Fox News, started to criticize the remark made by Canadian Lt. Gen. Andrew Leslie that his troops might take a year off after the mission in Afghanistan ends in 2011. This eventually led to the comments seen below.
First of all, Greg Gutfeld, the ignorant host, said “that’s an unusual name for a man.” referring to the last name of the Canadian Lt. General. I don’t know what you describe unusual, but Andrew is his first name, which seems pretty masculine to me. Who cares what his last name is? Your last name’s unusual but you don’t see me broadcasting that garbage.
Then they discussed the break that the Canadian army wants to take after the mission ends in 2011, so they can “do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants.” First of all dude, you don’t know what it’s like to be in the middle of a desert, wondering when you’re going to see your loved ones next, waiting for another road side bomb to kill one of your fellow brothers. So what if they want to do those things? Even if they want to take up knitting when they get back into Canada, who cares? My point is, they deserve to do whatever they wish (that’s legal) when they get back to Canada.
Doug Benson was the next idiot to talk. He was unaware Canadians were even in a war. He’s still living in the Sixties when the draft dodgers evacuated north of the border. In case you haven’t noticed, four Canadian soldiers just died in Afghanistan, 116 altogether. Pick up a newspaper buddy, Fox News broadcasts in New York, you guys are pretty close to Canada so I’m sure the news is circulating.
Bill Schulz was the next to talk and he rattled me the most. He said “we have police officers and they have Mounties.” We have officers too Schulz. Mounties are the highest ranked police officers in the country. We also have regional officers and provincial officers.
He also said while the American officers have armored cars, we have horses. You tool, I make the Impalas that your officers drive and they’re the same our officers drive. You’re right about one thing though, they are heavily armored. The remark about the horses, Dean Blundell from The Edge’s morning radio show looked into that. American officers have more horses then we do.
Geez, these guys are dumb. Did they do any homework before attacking this subject? I can’t believe Fox News, a well-known media broadcaster, allowed something like this air.
My impression on Americans has changed drastically after seeing this. Do all of them think like that? Whatever the answer may be, these idiots ruined every American’s creditability in my books.
Support our Canadian troops. Obviously the citizens below the 49th parallel don’t.
