Canadian Neil Young Once Again Wraps himself In The American Flag
The word is that Neil Young, who has often figuratively wrapped himself in the American flag through 40 plus years of rock ‘n roll, has recorded a song in which he calls for the impeachment of president Bush for “lyin.” But for all his American flag waving, he still can’t shake his liberal Canadian roots.
The “lyin” Young refers to is the tired claim by liberals that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. So as liberals stick their heads in the sand, Iran is now challenging the United States directly labeling us a “decaying power” and charging that America wil not have the “stamina” to face off against a nuclear Iran.
At issue here is the refusal of liberals to acknowledge the “weapon of mass destruction” revealed to us by the events of 9/11. The Muslims who happily frolic on a pleasant Sunday afternoon burning American flags in a Tehran park don’t do it because they resent American imperialism. They burn American flags because the foundations of Islam are diametrically opposed to the foundations of American liberty.
The “weapon of mass destruction” we face is the relentless aspiration of Islam to wipe the infidels (that’s us) from the face of the earth. The narrow view taken by liberals that Iraq is the sole issue misses the point. The fight is on and it can’t be contained by borders and nations.
That should have been a point driven home to every American by the fact that the nineteen hijackers of 9/11 were from several different countries and came here in a slow and calculating way via places like Young’s native Canada. Instead of trashing Bush, perhaps Young should sing a song berating Canada for embracing the destructive force of Islam by exporting terrorists to the U.S.

The ignorance and plain stupidity in this blog is astounding. I don’t know whether to laugh or throw up.

A Disgusted Person has this blog pegged right. As a Canadian I’m getting a little tired of the lies, every single hijacker was legally in The U.S. and had absolutely no ties to Canada, you guys screwed this up all on your own so don’t blame us. Seal your borders if you like, I know it would make Canada a safer place to live.

Agree with A Disgusted Person and Roosting Chicken. Maybe if America dropped its imperialistic, aggressive stance towards well, basically the whole world, then maybe people wouldn’t hate it so much. And to paint all of Islam and the Muslim community as anti-American and as enemies to freedom, on the backs of a minority of islamic extremists is narrow-minded and moronic to the extreme. American Flag Fool, there are huge numbers of Muslims living in America, AMERICAN Muslims, so to reduce their religion to a bunch of evil terrorists is disgusting. So stop swallowing the fascist machinations of the Christian Right, they’re only in it for the money and to achieve the same world domination that the Islamic fundamentalists want.

That’s pretty incredible. If people like this were running the American government they would truly be isolated. Canada has nothing to do with terrorism in the USA. American national security is not anyone’s responsibility but Americans. I agree with a disgusted person. Canadians also die in the war against terrorism, its sick to hear such accusations
