    Same technique the neo-cons used to sell the Iraq war. Just say the same lie over and over again till people just give up and believe. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    The first Americans refugees fleeing the Trump regime are now arriving in Canada. The current PM Trudeau will probably let them stay like his father did in the 60s when they were fleeing Nixon and the draft.

    It won't get quite that low. Because at that price American production falls. As I'm sure you've heard, the cure for low oil prices is low oil prices. Tight oil has almost as high a cost as shale oil. And the US dollar is so high that we can keep on sending heavy crude to Louisiana for refining at a profit. Especially when Keystone is finished. On a lighter note here is one of the first lessons I learned about the dangers of trade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brqnui9dV9o Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

    Yes, forced air gas heating. Life in a Winnipeg bungalow would hardly be bearable without it. And electric car? Not here. I can't imagine batteries lasting very long at -30C. You can't even start your car in the morning without a 1000 watt block heater keeping the engine warm overnight. And the cabin would be very cold without the waste heat from the gas engine to warm it. But you were not advocating natural gas. You were advocating economic nationalism in an energy market that is worldwide. The sun shines on the USA quite a bit. You might consider grabbing some of that energy as well. Or you could turn your back on the future and leave it to China. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Yes, that's "learning to use better part". Do you really think that the challenges of making a fusion reactor are less the challenges of energy storage? Fusion power is a pie in the sky someday maybe technology. There is no energy shortage, there is just an engineering task to figure out.

    We already have a working fusion reactor at a safe distance. We just need to learn to use it better. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Trump has only been shooting his mouth off like the loud mouthed schnook that he is. Only time will tell what he will really do from the options he is given to choose from. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I've been thinking of getting one. It's half the price of the competition. I'm not really into paying twice as much just so it can be controlled by an app. It looks like a winner to me. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    At least Jon Stewart is funny. Ridicule is a favourite of right wing media hosts. But none of them are funny. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    It must be an American thing. I don't even know who Lee Greenwood is. But if he needed to he could have come here to avoid the draft. All of your Presidents somehow managed to avoid fighting in Vietnam. John Kerry and John McCain were your last best hope of having a stand up patriot on the job.

    I was listening to NPR covering that live. Apparently a group of about 100 idiots dressed in black went down the street smashing things to attract attention. Then when the police responded they attacked the police. It took a while for enough help to arrive to arrest them. They should all do at least some time. They deserve it.

    The industry was already doing that. So well in fact that the market became oversupplied and the price collapsed. How does the new administration change that? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I'm guessing he is not at all stupid. But he is impulsive, and impatient. Both potentially large short comings in his new position. I just heard his inaugural address. My first impression, as an outsider looking in, is basically "welcome to the new era of Fortress America". Good luck with your new era and congratulations to America.

    This same CBO was wrong about Obamacare. Regardless. Whatever we end up with will be better than what we have. Please define 'better'. Because I suspect you mean 'better for me'. The meaning of "better" is simple. It means anything passed by Rs and not Ds. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    The matter is settled now. Vlad has come to the rescue of his bro.

    In Ron's mind, for emotional reasons it's important for him to believe that torturing the enemy will work. And even if it does not work it's important that the enemy be tortured anyway. It's all about emotions, and what makes Ron feel good. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I will admit to being the one calling someone an asshole. But you have to look at it in the light of his post stating that there are only three kinds of people. Pussys, dicks, and assholes. His post was humour and my reply was as well. Context matters. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    Easy there fella, that's pretty much how Dylan Roof feels. Are you going to go out and assassinate some heathcare workers? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
