His ignorance of anything unamerican is astonishing.
He recently asked as to “reply to Prime Minister Jean POUTINE’s” endorsement of him.
The greatest trading partner america has, and good ol’ George doesn’t know who the leader is.
How can one blame the igonorant american masses for their blindness when the most likely candidate for presidency doesn’t even know the slightest in foreign issues.
God forbid America’s greater rise in world power for, what an ignorant world it would be!
Perhaps Mary’s trying to debate whether or not we should hold a “World Leader Spelling Bee” to determine our President. Hmm… probably beats the Electoral College system, anyway…
Mary, the “Mexico” thing was evidently tongue in cheek, as I thought you would have gotten.
While this does have Pitworthy aspects, it can definitely constitute a Great Debate. One would hope that a man who aspires to be the Chief Executive of this country would have some knowledge of what it is dealing with. I would not necessarily expect GWB to be aware of who the Prime Minister of Saskatchewan is, or perhaps even who is the current Chancellor of Austria. But the leadership of the two nations with whom we share land borders are certainly pertinent knowledge for him to have. (I spent too many Saturday evenings as a kid watching Hickey Night in Canada on CBC, Kingston’s CKWS-TV channel 11 being one of the two stations we could get.)
“Hockey” was what they called it on the CBC. But when you’re in your early teens, and in a small town halfway between Syracuse and Mayberry RFD, you take what jokes you can get!
I want a president with vision, a president who invented the internet. A president who discoved Love Canal. A president who puts Bill Cinton right up there with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
Mary: the term you are groping for is “NON-AMERICAN”; not “UN-AMERICAN”.
The term “un-American” has a specific political meaning; distasteful in the extreme since the days of Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin.
“Non-American” simply implies that a thing , concept, or person is foreign to the United States of America.
Examples–
Celine Dion is NON-AMERICAN ; she is Canadian.
Benedict Arnold was UN-AMERICAN; he was a traitor to his country.
General DeGaul was NON-AMERICAN; he was from France.
Mary Hart’s Legs is UN-AMERICAN; for obvious reasons.
By the way, Mary–why do yoy use the Internet/World Wide Web? It’s a product of evil, American , free-market capitalism. No good Radical such as yourself sholud taint themselves in such a manner…
Bad manners? How should I know? I was raised by wolves.
Please! We’re trying to get people to forget McCarthy was from here. Anyway, I believe HUAC was established well before Tailgunner Joe began his tenure.
Must…resist…Celine…Dion…slam!
But, the last time I checked, Canada was part of the Americas.
Benedict Arnold was a patriot; he served his country…his country being England.
Skewing off into a tangent, is it fair to call someone un-American for acts which took place before the country existed?
