Once again, thanks very much for the shows. I'm up in Canada and we are just *&^%'d up here. When I heard Beck I couldn't believe what I was listening, too. Somebody is actually saying this?? Heard him on WFLA, Tampa 40 miles back in the swamps.
I had to leave this great civilized country because of the crime: the crack, the guns, the thefts, the crack whores and their out-of-wedlock children and the mothers doing cocaine on a Tuesday night in bum#$%^ Barrie Ontario.
I went on a walkabout down to the Southern US. I hid in the swamps of Florida for months. Only had to worry about 6' rattlers and 14' gators.
Then over to the bayou's and then the desert.
I listened to all this talk radio and found myself. As a Texan said to me, "Heck, Herk! You ain't the nut, the rest of them Canadians are the nuts!"
Something about being robbed 25 times and getting a gun to defend yourself. Not a popular thing in Canada, but I felt right at home in Texas.
I never felt safer than when I was down in the south. It was only in Toronto that we have running gun battles in the streets. Never, ever saw or heard of it down there. Nobody was anything but polite and helpful.

Thanks.

God bless America

I know what you mean, Herk. I'm in B.C, so it is more socialists and environuts than violent bastards but things are getting worse every year.

We definitely have way too many lefties up here and far too many conservatives in Canada are Tory traditionalists clinging to a Canada that no longer exists and lack the entrepreneurial spirit of American conservatives. If the proposed coalition brings down the minority Conservatives I think I will be looking very seriously at moving State-side.

If you haven't checked out Mark Steyn's "America Alone", I highly recommend it but you may feel a increased longing to return to the Lone Star state afterwards.

Wow. Another lone voice in the Great White North. Thanks xMule!
Huge fan of Steyn. Huge!
I can't bare to think of what will happen if the libs knock out the conservatives. I no fan of either.
We had a conservative running against Bob Rae, in Toronto, who dared say years ago, that Canada might want to loosen up the gun laws specifically hand guns, for protection. The Cons kicked him and Bob Rae called his comments "disturbing." What really wowed me was, he was homosexual running in the gay area, where Rae was running! I'd a voted for him in a moment!
I never voted because of that incident. Politics in our country is done for me. I was looking to maybe get political, join the conservative party and start slogging through it, start some 2nd amendment talk. Not any more. There's a healthy political movement at the grassroots for it, but everyone's too cowardly and too cowed by the politically correct nature of it.
And it's not going to fly with a protest party movement.
I think we're done. We're just going to wallow in this morass for a long, long time.
If you want to read a great story on Texas, go search "Come and Take It." about their first flag of the republic.
Having spent enough time down there with the people, there's still enough pissed off enough that they'll go it alone, again, if they have too. I might be thinking about moving, too.

Get yer guns!

Yeah, I know what you mean about having a hard time finding a political home up here. The Tories are too passive and supportive of nonsense like the monarchy, socialized healthcare and bilingualism.

A dim hope for Canada could lie in tricking the lefties and leeches into moving to Quebec and letting it separate. I like to call it the "So Long and Thanks For All The Poutine" solution.

Did you catch Mark Steyn when he filled in for Rush? I wish he had his own show, even if it was only a weekly one.

I'm ah... well, err... a little underemployed right now, (worked my ass off for the last year) but have been up at the crack of 9 for Glen and carried over for some of Rush. I'd a loved to have heard Steyn. When was he on?

Have you listened to Jerry Doyle (as in Babylon 5?) He's another right-on commentator and has his facts and figures nailed! Found him down at www.kdwn.com out of Las Vegas. Give him a listen.

Herk

Hey, big country, small world. I started listening to Jerry a few months ago. I always enjoyed his work on B5 and decided to check his show out and found it very informative and highly entertaining. I never miss a show and have been seriously considering a membership to his site.

Mark filled in for Rush on his Jan 2nd show. jwhitt's torrent is dead but I have the show archived and I could repost it for you if you'd like.

I also noticed someone has been posting Glenn's TV show on Mininova. Don't let the torrents seeder stats scare you away. Mininova is notorius for the unreliability of its seeder/leacher stats and it is one of the reasons why our host, jwhitt, abandoned the site and came to The Pirate Bay.

Cheers!

they have conservatards in canada? scary.
