And there it is. Put an American on the defensive, and right away you‘re nothing but a communist. Doesn‘t really matter to the Americans that socialism is nothing like communism, because if it‘s not capitolism, it‘s un-American, and if it‘s not American, it‘s communism.Well all I can say is remember blow back is a Bit‘ch Have a great red (communist color I think ...OOPS) Maple leaf day. You wonderful patriotic canadians....
Maybe during his rant buddy failed to notice that his own flag also sports the colour red, "OOPS".
All I can say is that if anyone here valued your input in the past, you‘ve probably severely compremised that respect by having a tantrum like a 10 year old, and then insinuating that we are all communists.
I‘m not even going to touch that weird thing you said about your mom being proud of you. I‘m not sure if that was supposed to be some kind stab at Canadians in general, or if it was a defensive reply to the thoughts expressed here that maybe it is Americans who are a little "overly enthusiastic" with the flag waving.
I mean someone jump in and correct me if I‘m wrong, but I‘ve always had the sense from foreigners that it is widely regarded around the world that Americans are quite over the top when it comes to patriotism. I think that is why this article we are reading has struck a nerve with the members of this forum. It seems a little ironic that some focus groups in the U.S. are deciding that we are too patriotic. Some seem think its worth getting upset about, others seem think its pretty funny, like me.
What‘s not funny is that some insecure American has to get pissed off and call us communists on a message board designed for Canadian soldiers.
Even though it‘s a pretty weak and childish insult to a Canadian, the knowledge that down in paranoidville USA it is the ultimate insult, makes it (in my opinion) a pretty rude slap in the face.
