What did you all think about the Mann Coulter quote: "They better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent."
I don't usually have a problem calling myself an American but during the Bush jr reign, that we just escaped, I did often. It was a dark age. And still Fox Newsertainment makes me embarrassed to be American.
I don't even remember that happening, but if that's someone from FOX it probably ended up on our comedy shows. We pretty much just tape FOX "news" and run it as comedy up here, doesn't even need comentary!
We don't worry about stuff like that most of the time. When those 2 idiots on FOX were making fun of our soldiers who were overseas dying in a war we volunteered to help the US with, that made us pretty angry, but stuff like this is just what we expect from the asshole demographic of the US (which most of us do know does not represent the majority in any way. I work with lots of Americans, none of them are like that. Actually, even the brainwashed "America-rules-because-someone-said-so" people I've met have had respect for Canada, or, at least as much as their brainwashing allows for a country that isn't the US!).
Plus, what can we do but laugh? It's true that they could crush us with their military. So could most countries! Of course, the rest of the free world would then go absolutely apeshit and we'd have a war the likes of which has never been seen before.
Most of us just find it sad and confusing that the military might of a country would be the measuring stick of it's worth to someone, that person must be a sad broken human being!
