Our “friends” to the north
Wes Pruden on the dismay and demoralization of the left now that the war is proceeding so well:
Even our Canadian friends are having second thoughts about the high costs of high principle. Throwing rocks was fun only while it lasted. Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s very own spokesman had to be canned after she called George W. “a moron” and a leading member of parliament was cheered when she said she hates the “damned Americans” and called us “bastards.” What is clear now is the sobering knowledge that 75 percent of Canada’s foreign trade is with the United States. So far Canada has escaped the kind of anger directed at France only because in 225 years no American has ever thought about Canada. Not even once. All that Americans know about Canada is that it makes ginger ale and a nice dry mixer for gin and vodka. Posted by Lawrence Auster at March 22, 2003 10:34 PM | Send Comments
Mexico opposes us on the war, as usual. How come nobody criticizes Mexico? Posted by: David on March 27, 2003 11:22 PMMexicans are a culturally different people whom we have historically oppressed, and therefore they get a permanent exemption from such censorious judgments. But the supposed history of unfair treatment is not necessary. It suffices that they are civilizationally inferior to us. Therefore they must be raised up, and we must be dragged down.
