Hmm .... If we applied that rule uniformly to all countries, half the posters couldn't contribute in the Politics forum. We wouldn't get to hear Bernie's frequent criticisms, among others.
not true there is a difference between listening, being informed, and sticking our noses into other sovereign governments business. And I[m not trying to pick a fight, I was just making the mostly joking point that this post wouldn't have been made if it was
Conservative Canadian politicians up to no good. face that fact .
It appears you were trying to say the post shouldn't have been made. It appears you were trying to say that McG shouldn't have posted what he posted because the US has it's own problems .... plank in the eye, etc. (or perhaps you just don't like his politics).
That being the case, the - mostly joking - point I was trying to make is that pundits (and even A2K posters) from all countries (US, Canada, and others) have their own issues to worry about, but write critical commentary about other countries (US, Canada, and others). This problem you've identified is not limited to the US, and it is certainly not limited to conservative US posters on A2K. Deal with that.
