The essential difference between a boy and a man is self-discipline. For example the ability to follow simple rules of conduct and behavior.

It's not only arrogant, it's unconstitutional to impose your point of view on others.

Please, by all means, pass on that sentiment to all the so-called journalist, from other countries, when they attempt to pass judgement on the USA and its citizens.

I know very few people who give a damn what the rest of the world thinks.

You said it yourself Sir; how could "passing judgement" ever be considered to be journalism?

I believe a "free press" was perceived to reveal truth in order that reasonable people could make their own "judgement".

The derogatory comments about Canada are interesting considering it is a capitalist democracy like the USA and had been the closest ally until the current POTUS.

Because you guys have been ripping us off on trade and other matters you consider us "close" allies.   When someone comes in to stop the exfiltration of American wealth and production we are going to naturally not be so "close" and that's fine with me.   Obozo took any and every opportunity to undermine the United States.   That's partly why Canadians love him so much.  Those days are over and thank God for it.

Also, we in the USA are not a democracy we are a Constitutional Republic.    Canada a capitalist democracy?  I guess it depends on your definition of capitalist.  Trump is a real capitalist.   We've strayed from it so far since Regan left that we don't even remember what it is any more.  But Trump didn't forget and the numbers show it.  Canada is tanking, America is ascendant.    You might want to tell Justine to take notes.

I don't like or trust any politician in any country. I do believe that when reasonable people come together, more can be accomplished with gentlemanly discussion than with conflict. There is always room for war later.

Trump isn't a politician.  He's a citizen-statesman, the very people our Framers intended to run the country--as opposed to generations of professional "public servants" who are concerned only with power, graft, and self-interest.

Trump has done absolutely nothing outside his Constitutional authority.  Not one thing.  The previous "administration" cannot say the same.

As the Boeing debacle has proven, we don't have either.

If we had a free press that was objective people would not be foaming at the mouth every time Trump's name is mentioned.

Yep. They hate HIM because he is thinking of his country's national interests over some Euro-centric cabal.

The reality is that the globalism movement is real and dangerous.   I'll never understand the compulsion to make everyone be the same in their behavior, interests, and desires.   Decentralized government allows freedom of choice.   Some people think that is bad and for the life of me I cannot fathom the thinking.   They must have been hall monitors in gradeschool or something.

It disappoints me that you read what I posted as an attack on Donald Trump or as support for Barrack Obama. I might remind you though that the North American Free Trade Agreement was a product of Ronald Reagan's administration.

It was my hope in previous posts to attempt to say that honest discussion between parties of different or even opposing points of view (be that countries or individuals) should be the goal. No one side is ever completely right.

It was one of a number of things Reagan screwed up.   I am not in lock-step with anyone.  Even Trump, who I consider the most consequential President in my lifetime (at the least since Regan), has done some things--and NOT done some things--that irritate me.   But 80 is better than 20.

I was not referring to you in particular, btw, but rather your comments about Canadian sentiment.   Canada has had a free ride on trade for a long time at our expense.    That would be fine if they weren't letting China backdoor us to put some of our major industries like steel out of business.  That's not an ally or a friend, that's an opportunist.

I don't think anyone has said that one side is completely right.   However, Trump is not an ideologue.   He's a man who solves problems in a common sense fashion.  The Trump Doctrine is real and it is effective.  The world in general, and the United States in particular, are better off for it.

I picked up the nickname "Captain America" a number of years ago.   I consider it an accurate compliment.

That said, Canada is a gorgeous place.   If I weren't an American I think being a Canadian would be pretty okay, eh.

I respect your loyalty to POTUS, I honestly do. 

But you should understand that I am completely apolitical. Forgive me, but I have never encountered a politician anywhere in the world that I could relate to or even trust. I tend to believe that a group of working stiffs could sit down and arrive at better solutions to our problems than any of the people we elect.
