The Price of Nice - Canada learns.
By Jonah Goldberg

A few years ago I wrote a cover story for National Review with the subtle and nuanced title, “Bomb Canada: The Case for War.â€

I should have gone with my first reaction and not clicked the thread.

Shame on me.

this is a retarded article, full of factual errors where the author tries to make his oppinions of canadians sound like fact

It's all based on assumptions that have no factual basis.

refused to join the effort in Iraq, believing that jihadists would honor such fine distinctions

I don't think he really knows the first thing about Canada, or the Canadian political climate. He must have read a couple editorials and decided to write this piece of crap

you sound surprised snerp


didn't you know lyion also watches cbc once a month, and knows everything about canada?

Thread delivers. We need more angry Canadians on NT, though.

theres a huge difference between being angry, and thinking you posted a retarded article who's author is full of shit lyion

I'd just like to clarify that while I agree with it being a retarded article, I'd also like to say that Lyion is retarded for posting it

Unlike my two calm brethren, I'm absolutely furious. Lock your doors Lyion, this shit just got personal.

Maybe the terrorists were trying to be nice and let us capture them

I like Lyion's absolute hypocrisy with his article postings. If I (or anyone else) were to post an article from MoveOn, George Soros, Air America, or any other outlet as unabashedly liberal as the National Review is unabashedly rabidly right-wing, he'd attempt to verbally tear us a new one. Look at all of his previous posts of disdain about MoveOn and suchlike. Yet he feels no qualms about quoting sources equally as rabid on his side of the political spectrum.

Aye, Cap'n, the Hypocrisy-ometer is readin offa the charts! The message boards, they cannot take much more a this egocentric overload!

Arlos, he just did it to piss me and Tikker off.

He probably didn't even read the whole thing.

So Zanchief, can you disprove some of the assertions and allegations the author made? Or is the extent of your rebuttal going to be limited to profoundly insightful comments such as, "the author has no factual basis?" Just curious.

He will also edit any attacks against him, so he wins, canada loses ><

I didn't say "the author has no factual basis", because that doesn't make sense. I said his assumptions have no factual basis. It's pretty clear if you read it. I don't know what else you'd like me to say.

Lyion, why do you hate Canadians?

Because they show that large industiralized nations can be liberal and still be successful, so it ruins his argument against liberalism in the united states.

and blow up a few important buildings.

There are important buildings in Canada? Maple syrup factories, maybe?

In other words you have no solid rebuttal. Ok then.

I have nothing but love and pity in my heart for all Canadians.

Especially those poor souls in Edmonton!

people who rely on "goddidit" don't ever get to complain about anyone else's rebuttal quality
