Don't Wimp Out On This One

Between transplanting some of my annuals to bigger pots (I start them too soon every year, just optimistic I guess!) and cooking supper, I watched some of Goldhawk on CPAC regarding the upcoming "takenote" debate on Afghanistan. What struck me was that some callers just plain ignored the truth.

Some blamed the Conservatives, well duhhh, it was the Liberals that sent our troops over there, but don't let the truth get in your way. Some thought we should only be "peacekeepers", and not "peacemakers", what do we have the military for then? But, mainly I couldn't believe the callers that were saying that we were "in bed" with the Americans.

I am sick and tired of this bashing of the Americans, last time I checked, I am in America. As a matter of fact, I am a Canadian living in North AMERICA, Canada, Alberta, Edmonton. People have been brainwashed for so long that if you asked them why they don't like Americans they couldn't give you any intelligent answer.

Even the Taliban are saying we are weak and that they are going to use that against us by increasing the suicide bombings and attacks. Isn't that exactly what Stephen Harper said would happen?

But no, the NDP wanted a debate, and a debate we will now have. If the NDP and Bloc do not show full support for our troops, they are going to have to answer (maybe only to me) why they do not support helping the people of Afghanistan. If, the NDP, the supposed party of the underdog, do not support this mission, women all across Canada should wake up and understand that the NDP are all about increasing the number of MP's in Ottawa, and not about helping women worldwide to achieve success and equality. This will show that the NDP talk the talk, but do not walk the walk!

Same as the women's groups that are trying to tell us that we need institutionalized daycare, and that stay at home Mom's/Dad's do not count. They are backed by unions who see $$$$ if a national daycare is established, they do not see children that need to be cared for by a loving adult.

Well, I support our troops wholeheartedly, and pray they all come back safe and sound. We need to send our troops a strong message, like Larry the Cable Guy would say, "GET R DONE!!"

All you wimpy, IQ challenged, bleeding hearts need to get your heads out of the sand, and enter the real world, the global world, where people help each other, because we should, not because it will get votes.
