From the comments section of this post;
Born in '66 and living in Vancouver. Probably the only person I know in my age group around these leftist parts that supports an aggressive war on terrorism, here and abroad. Of course, the Liberals will never do anything so aggressive, however, I clandestinely support George W. at work and more openly at home... Nevertheless, my Muslim supervisor was laughing yesterday about the bombings in London.... I was so upset I called in sick today... I can't believe how many terrorist supporters openly wear their pro-terrorist affiliations here in Vancouver... Funny though, him and all his Muslim friends all contribute huge amounts to the Liberals....
I decided I needed to expand my demographic sample and started looking for the quintessential English gentleman businessman.Spied him talking on the phone near the barricade and moved in. Warily, he agreed to talk.
No, he wasn't surprised. "It's been due to happen. Sooner or later." He got the talking points, too.
Bu then he pointed out something very interesting that I had noticed only on a subconscious level. "This is the heart of Little Beirut" he said. We were indeed surrounded by people, like the young men, who appeared to be Arab. A strange and exceptionally cold-blooded choice of targets for Al Quaida, even by terrorist standards.
Finally, I asked him the Tony Blair question. He looked at me puzzled: "How can you blame Tony Blair?"
I told him he was the only one all day I'd found who didn't.
He frowned. "Interesting," he said. And walked off.

I find even my (VERY politically aware) grandparents... lay some of the blame on the London terror attacks on Bush and Blair.
How do you tell your own grandparents that they have been brainwashed by the left?
My grandfather is as anti-liebral as you can get. Why do people not see this issue for what it is... THE CONTINUED STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM.
Terrorism will happen again. It is the response to terror that is important... NOT THE CAUSE OF IT!!!!
This is an example of the aid and comfort given to Islamist fanatics living in London. Unbelievable!

Zanada is a safe house/haven for genocidal terrorists; a brothel for murderers; a crackhouse for the scum of the world.Who is the pimp?

Genocide suspect might stay
(CP) - Canada will not extradite a former adviser to the Rwandan government who is accused in his country's genocide unless it receives binding assurances he will not be executed if he's convicted, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler said Friday.

Left liberals do not have consciences.
Posted by: maz2 at July 8, 2005 3:29 PMHey Mike Schmidt,
When your supervisor laughed at the London bombings, why in the Hell didn't you kick him in the nuts. Jesus H. Christ, man. Allowing him to enjoy the terrorists activities is the same as sanctioning them. It's no wonder they feel free to do what they want. Calling in sick is no way to handle bastards like that. We are all soldiers in this war on terror and it is time we all realized it.
Mike Schmidt,
I am sure you could work out a nice human rights complaint out on that one. Not that it is serious but for the fun of seeing them squirm on their contradictions. Imagine if the roles were reversed.....
Posted by: Stephen at July 8, 2005 4:08 PMI called in "sick" so that I may send resumes to companies in Alberta. Between the Islamo-sympathizers and far-left loons, I've just about had it with Vancouver. This place is just too darn wierd.

Please don't leave Vancouver - I don't want to be the last right-wing male standing.

Posted by: rob at July 8, 2005 7:52 PMSomeone was roundly (and rightly) criticized for saying that the Brits 'deserved' what they got in the recent London bombings.
However, had he stated that the Brits 'invited' what they got, he would have been right on the mark. How much longer can that country tolerate the type of organizing and recruiting activities being carried out by religeous extremists? How much longer will the country tolerate the hatred that some of the Imams are spewing and inflaming? Why is Britain, and to some degree other countries including Canada, giving these radical extremists a free hand to spew hatred and foment violence against the West? When will our governments wake up and do something about this?

Once again, just as with the KKK. When a group's attacks are based upon a stupid and groundless premise, they must conceal their identity.
The unbelievable irony, where a mosque leader missing one forearm due to bomb making is allowed to walk freely and preach messages supporting a cause that would remove that very freedom he is using right now.
These terrorists have lost their way. They are killing for a cause that would, if they win, imprison them and supply a bullet to the head if they express an opinion.
Saddam used to call a meeting of his henchmen and then pick a patsy, blow his brains out, and then suggest that loyalty was a good idea.
Aelqeda is a club of the near-sighted.
I would join the Ladies Auxiliary first. The food is probably better.
Actually, the real cause of current terrorism may simply be revenge for failed investments of OSB and his rich friends.
I read where they invested heavily in oil extraction schemes, [Bush family involved], and those investments flopped totally.
This terrorism may simply be revenge for those Billion dollar losses under the guise of Koran teachings.
If that's true, then suicide bombers are taking others with them just because OSB's nose is out of joint. Pathetic!
