Canada’s Top Ten List of America’s Stupidity…
I thought you'd be as ashamed of the following recognitions as I am. Can we stop the insanity of Affirmative Action and other "kick America in the shins tactics!" It's time to terminate the benefits of Black Americans, Hispanic Americans and Whatever Americans and change our vocabulary back to "Americans." Is it smart to bankrupt a working system to build multi-cultures within our American culture? Especially when the multi-cultures wish to dominate, in some cases by force, all the other cultures.
This is “Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.” Of course we look like idiots, -- because we have acted a wee-bit strange at times.
10) Only in America ... could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.
9) Only in America ... could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. 40 % of all federal entitlements go to black Americans. 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics, ?X the rate that go to others!
8) Only in America ... could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
7) Only in America ... can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
6) Only in America ... would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.
5) Only in America ... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."
4) Only in America ... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
10) Only in America ... could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

4) Only in America ... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
3) Only in America ... could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public, because the price of gas went up, when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).
2) Only in America ... could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
1) Only in America ... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.
O Canada, how right you are!! - NPC

We just love those tar sands projects! - Eh? (had to edit for more info)
[ In Reply To ..]So, I read the linked article and started to wonder who actually wrote it. Could not find an author. Started thinking about why would they mention Marathon Oil. This just seemed to have the aftertaste of a Koch Brother smear. Sure enough, Canadian tar sands, Marathon Oil, and the Koch Brothers make happy bedfellows. How patriotic. The special interests of the Koch Bros with the Keystone pipeline project are fairly obvious.
Sure enough: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/10/idUS427145980520120510
***
Today Koch Industries has both upstream and downstream interests:
â€Â¢ The company is one Canada's largest crude oil purchasers, shippers and exporters, with more than 130 crude oil customers.
â€Â¢ It is among the largest U.S. refiners of oil sands crude, responsible for about 25 percent of imports.
â€Â¢ It is one of the largest holders of mineral leases in Alberta, where most of Canada's tar sands deposits are located.
â€Â¢ It has its name attached to hundreds of well sites across Alberta tracked by Canadian regulators.
â€Â¢ It owns pipelines in Minnesota and Wisconsin that import western Canadian crude to U.S. refineries and also distribute finished products to customers.
â€Â¢ It owns and operates a 675,000 barrel oil terminal in Hardisty, Alberta, a major tar sands export hub.
â€Â¢ And this year it kicked off a 10,000 barrel-a-day mining project in Alberta that could be the seed of a much larger project.
Suncor was the first company to start commercial oil sands production in Alberta, and the contract with Koch, its largest to that point, was an important milestone in Suncor's growth.
Today the flow of oil to Pine Bend begins at the Hardisty transport hub, where Enbridge pipelines take it across Canada and into Enbridge's Lakehead system in the United States. At Clearbrook, Minn. it is moved into a pipeline system owned by Koch Industries and Marathon Oil. It is then taken to Pine Bend.
And just look at all the jobs they're creating and - sm
[ In Reply To ..]how they're trying to get us energy independent while working toward finding alternative energy solutions. I wonder how many people have been kept off unemployment and how many people have pride over the fact that they DON'T have to use government subsidies to get their health care.
I sure would like that Canadian Universal health care - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Yup, no need for that subsidy to go to the insurance middleman. I like it.
But I am curious, what alternative energy source and what US jobs? As far as I know, they are putting the dollars in Canada. From what I understand, the Keystone pipeline will only be creating about 500 long-term jobs.
Actually, I am not totally against the Keystone pipeline, I just want to make sure it is done correctly, regulated, monitored, and maintained properly. I want to see the clean up plan. Not like the BP Gulf spill clean up plan where you lie and cross your fingers.
well done - thank you (nm)

Top 10 list - God bless the USA
[ In Reply To ..]Why do you care what the Canadians think? Their government has probably also made some colossal blunders, probably more than 10.
Colossal blunders... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Of course, Canada has made some colossal blunders. This is just a little comic relief in the form of satire that happens to be true.
#10 and #2 are correct. The rest is BS. - BS BeGone
[ In Reply To ..]
What America you live in? - No BS.
[ In Reply To ..]NM.
What??!! - No BS
[ In Reply To ..]nm
All 10 are correct. - NM
[ In Reply To ..]NM
I believe all are correct but place emphasis on #8, 7, 6, 5, and 4 - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]Again, numbers 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4 are also correct, especially #8 and #6.
As an aside, the hatred against oil companies and the Koch Bros...well, that's your prerogative.
I don't hate the Koch Bros. or oil companies. What I do hate are those people who manipulate the economies of countries and pour billions of dollars into candidates that believe in the NWO and/or use the tax codes to further the socialist/fascist agenda by using 501(c) (3) or (4) codes and the media to erode our freedoms.
maybe - NK
[ In Reply To ..]Rob Ford will read them on the Letterman show. How ironic would that be.
He'd probably love the gig! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]He seems to love the camera and attention.
If they were funny and made up then Letterman yes, - but since the list is true, its not funny nm
