Centaur, uhhh, the Constitution allows for the suspension of habeas corpus...This isn't the first time this has happened.
As for ole RACooper. I do make fun of liberals, whats your point? I've yet to insult gays, other than to say a tryst with a teenage page is disgusting, which it is. I have no idea what you're talking about regarding McVeigh, but that doesn't surprise me considering the ridiculous statements you've made to this point.
As for what Canada has to offer...
Beaches- You're kidding. Coastline =/= beaches. American beaches are far superior to Canadian beaches, I hardly think this is a debate. Granted, I've only been to Prince Edward Island, which was quite nice, but not comparable to the wealth of beaches in the U.S.
Unemployment- really, lower? Last time I checked 6.4% (Canada in Sept.) is a higher number than 4.6% (U.S. in Sept.)...
Per Capita Income-

GDP-PC, PPP, take your pick, US is higher
World Influence- Not to be mean, but Canada isn't influential, militarily or otherwise...
Wars- Yes, I'm sure Canada knew all along that the intelligence was bad, despite many, many intelligence agencies confirming the same thing. I know Canadians think appeasing terrorists will keep them off their doorstep, we shall see, however...
Decent Beer- Once again, you're joking correct?
People like yourself often call others ignorant, simply for having likes/dislikes. I don't like terrorists, how does that make me ignorant? I don't like people who deride America, how does that make me ignorant? Try standing for something, you may find you like it. On a side note, I've changed my mind about the Canadian military, I imagine some are quite courageous. My statement is directed towards the general population. I do like Harper, however.
