February 2010

• The November 1979 invasion of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and the holding of hostages, who were not released until Inauguration Day 1981.
• Hezbollah's 1983 bombing of U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241.
• The holding of American hostages, and murder of some, in Beirut throughout the 1980s.
• The 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait.
• The 1985 bombing of a Madrid restaurant frequented by American soldiers.
• The 1985 Hezbollah hijacking of TWA flight 847 and murder of a U.S. Navy flier on board.
• The 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship, in which an American passenger was murdered.
• The 1986 bombing of TWA flight 840, which killed four Americans.
• The 1986 bombing of a disco in Berlin, which prompted a retaliatory strike on Libyan targets.
• The 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270.
  

• The 1995 car bombing of U.S. military headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five servicemen.
• The 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, killing 19 Americans.
• The 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224.
• The 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, less than a month before the election of Mr. Clinton's successor, killing 17 American sailors.
  

Then of course came 9/11, less than eight months after Mr. Clinton left office. How can anyone, looking back in 2007, claim "we didn't have the terror threat" in 1992?

I live in Canada and here's a quick look into our little socialist republik:

• We have no property rights. None. If the government wants what I've got, they can take it without compensation.
• We have unfettered abortion. There are no rules.
• We are not allowed to bear arms.
  
• We are the second highest taxed population in the free world. We don't see tax freedom day until early June every year.
  
• We rely on others for our national defense. Liberal governments have stripped our military to the point that our soldiers have to hitch rides on US transports.
• Our government actively participates in the breaking-down of the family.
• Our schools are places of lib-left indoctrination instead of education and critical thought.
• Our Supreme Court is stacked with activist judges from the lib-left. They're writing laws from the bench which completely bypasses our elected representatives.
• Unions dictate our country's financial policy.
• We're friendly with Cuba.
• It's legal for a 35 year old man to have sex with a 14 year-old boy. Our legislators recently raised that age to 16 but the bill is still sitting with our lib-left senate.
• Child pornography has been ruled as "art" by our courts.
• Our taxes supply drugs to drug addicts.
• Our justice system isn't.
• Our media is controlled by the state. We're not allowed to view US programs or channels unless the state approves it.
• Children can murder without any real consequence.
• and the list goes on and on and on...
