You know crownsown, I was going to leave this and your comments alone however I've decided against it.
Fact is; for all my ignorance, professionally I'm a writer/researcher. Personally I spend most of my time in international affairs and political sites. However for your information:

"BBC poll: Rest of world favours Obama

A BBC World Service opinion poll has found sharply higher overseas approval ratings for US President Barack Obama than Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
An average of 50% favoured Mr Obama, with 9% for Mr Romney, in the survey of 21,797 people in 21 countries.
Only Pakistan's respondents said they would prefer to see Mr Romney win November's election.
France was the most strongly pro-Obama (72%)."

You could have found hundreds of these global polls over the last three months that substantiate what I said about the majority of the globe favouring Obama but it's apparent you don't have the wherewithal to do the research. You just seem to spout opinions that aren't substantiated in a current reality.

You're welcome to your opinions crowns but I personally don't welcome your constant subjective and somewhat ignorant retorts to others when there opinions don't correspond with your poorly conceived rhetoric’s. In the future it would serve you well to contain your attacks - they really aren't becoming of anyone with any intellect and really only serve to prove your inability to participate in a reasonable discussion.

Next time I need some distorted view I'll be certain to ask for your opinion, however perhaps you could use some restraint giving your opinions when they aren't asked for.

Threads on both religion and politics tend to stray off track and become personal. At the start of the thread a question was asked. Opinions were given. Some you will agree with others you will not. Please everyone if you do not agree with the view that is expressed spend your energies on formulating a response to counter the opinion. Do not denigrate the poster. Personal assaults benefit no one.

Sad day. Most evil prevailed. Keep prepping.

Personally, I disagree that the greater evil won; but I am the only pinko-commie prepper I know 😳

Oh those pinko-commies! Well I have to admit if you are a prepper you are Ok in my book.

It depends totally on your wants for the world and in particular Canadians. In this day and age of globalism they are somewhat the same things.

Obama, although somewhat of a lame duck athe moment, he is the safer of the two bets. All those MSN programs are saying the same thing – outside of the US it is unanimous; the world hopes that Obama is re-elected. Although he has been responsible for Canada entering into the frey in Libya under the guise of NATO alliance instead of going through Congress he is for most part of the understanding that war is not in his favour. He understands that Americans are tired of war, or at least wars being at their expense. He will have to focus on the economy and improving the deteriorating life-style of the Americans and his interest isn’t toward international confrontation, but co-operative international trade and commerce.

Romney is a Republican and it seems you can’t separate the party from their willingness to engage other nations with their military strength to “protect” their financial interests. Romney has already started on the worse path an American president could take at the moment and that is political confrontation with China. It cannot benefit anyone. It can only cripple the American economy and hopes of recovery. Still he claims his first moves in office are to condemn the Chinese intervention in global finances and influence. China owns the majority of American debt, That’s like telling your banker to f off when they can call in every cent you owe tomorrow.

Either way, there is one thing you can be sure of as long as Harper is in power in Canada, he will follow and join in the military lead of his American counterpart and willingly. You can tell by his attacks on Iran and newly-favoured friendship with Israel. He is delusional enough to think he can swing a big stick on his own or at the least he is trying to impress his counterpart thinking he is opening up the way for confrontation by the West. Harper doesn’t need the encouragement from a Republican government – he’d be stupid enough and egotistical enough to sucker right into it and take us with him. For that reason and that reason alone Obama is our best bet.

Hi Rogue,

I thought as your whining about someone challenging your views, I'd include your original post to make sure it's all covered. As you are someone who makes inflammatory comments about our Prime Minister such as "stupid and egotistical" I have no problem calling you out on it. Surely, as a "professional" writer using this type of language this can't be the first time someone has called you out right? 🙂
Everyone is entitled to there opinion. Those who want to start attacking things I believe in, get ready for a response. Perhaps in other forums or groups no one challenges your rude comments on government, and politics. Your comments offend me. They are going to be challenged here. If you feel your entitled to make comments like this and then play hurt when someone challenges you on it, perhaps you should think long and hard before making those comments. Especially if they are lies, under the guise of "opinion."

So lets reiterate all your lies.

1)"Outside the US it's unanimous. The world hopes Obama is re elected." Where is your proof? Please tell me that the news clip above showing 50% approval rating in a survey of 21 countries (which you did not reference I might add.) is not your proof.

2)"Responsible for Canada entering the "frey" in Libya under the guise of NATO." Can you show me where this is a "guise." (You have an interesting choice of words peppered throughout your posts. 🙂 )

3)"Romney is a Republican and it seems you can’t separate the party from their willingness to engage other nations with their military strength to “protect” their financial interests." Can you provide some backup to this statement? I can't find any.

4)"Either way, there is one thing you can be sure of as long as Harper is in power in Canada, he will follow and join in the military lead of his American counterpart and willingly." Canada is a sovereign nation. If we go to war with an Ally it's our choice. The reasons and the governments agenda has many variables. Your making an assumption based on what? Libya? some crystal ball perhaps showing all future conflicts? Do tell.

5) "He is delusional enough to think he can swing a big stick on his own or at the least he is trying to impress his counterpart thinking he is opening up the way for confrontation by the West." You post this and your calling Harper delusional? At this point...are you still hurt and upset that I've responded in the way I have. You can dish it out but can't take it? 😀

6)"Harper doesn’t need the encouragement from a Republican government – he’d be stupid enough and egotistical enough to sucker right into it and take us with him." Ya..you can count on me responding to anyone who thinks they can post this kind of stuff.

You allege your a professional writer/researcher. Perhaps you could reference some of your work? I would be interested in reading some of what you've written or published in hopes that your post above doesn't show the epitome of your work or research abilities... I spend a lot of time too on political sites and international affairs. Whether someone posted your comments directed towards Harper, Mulcair, or May...they would be jumped all over.

I wonder why you think your entitled to make rude comments, and lie and then expect it not to go unchallenged? Because you call it your "opinion?" You made the accusation in your second post "You're welcome to your opinions crowns but I personally don't welcome your constant subjective and somewhat ignorant retorts to others when there opinions don't correspond with your poorly conceived rhetoric’s." Opinions fine..anything after that, I am just giving you a heads up...I'm all over it. Whether you welcome someone outing you or not. Stop making inflammatory comments, and stop lying and I won't have any moral obligation to respond. Just an observation, as you are professional writer...are you satisfied with this sentence? "Poorly conceived rhetoric's?" Really? 😉

I will not be shutting up to you or anyone who decides to lie and print misinformation or insult our Prime Minister. Sorry, you won't get away with that here. There are other forums where you can print your lies and get positive reinforcement from like minded people. In fact there are probably people here who dislike Harper and the current government's agenda. Thats ok. Everyone is entitled to there opinion. Taking it a step farther like you...not a chance...

I'm very interested in seeing some of your work as a professional writer/researcher if your interested in showing it. I've yet to meet a professional writer who wasn't eager to present there work so I'm looking very forward to seeing what you have to offer. As you can probably tell from my grammar and vocabulary, I am not a professional writer/researcher and very far outside the circles of the elite "chattering class."

Evil or not, I'm thrilled Obama won.
I'll take a black "Christ-o-Muslim" with a platform to help the people, and a preference for peace rather than a white Mormon with contempt for the people and a love for war.
I think the world just took a collective sigh of relief.

For what ever comes out of it, we will continue to preppare to over come what comes our way.

Ask, who cares. What corporation controls who, that's what your going to get from the winner. Same shit, different day.

What corporations are you talking about? Why would the winner state a corporation is controlling someone?

Sorry I should have made my self more clear on that. Elected leaders get to there post by having lots of money, paid by corporations. For example Monsanto employees now work in high Government positions, like FDA, the courts, senators and even vice-Presidents.

Lots of info here
I think I would have voted for the lesser of two evils and gone with Obama cause I kind of know what to expect from him
Romney was to much of a risk not knowing
It seems to me in the states you vote more for the person than what their party represents

I think the same way. I'm not really sure whether he was just talking tough to win the right wing votes or he really meant what he said but just in case he did, the world is in a very delicate position right now and doesn't need this kind of attitude.

Plus Romney doesn't know why airplane windows don't open. 🙂 Sorry if I sound like a broken record but for me it's where I draw the line. If you don't know that you shouldn't be in that race.

I don't understand whhy americans are so stuck on voting for one or the other wehn there are so many other choices. So many people like neither but won't vote for someone else.
