Canadians are too patriotic ...

Because of course it's only okay for USA FLAGS to be everywhere.

Oh WTF? So all these uber-patriotic, conservative war-mongers are actually pussy, sensitive types who need to be coddled by other nations? Fuck them.

I - for one - *am* sick of all the Candian backpackers who paste their damn flags all over their rucksacks so they won't be 'mistaken' for an American.

I wear my Maple leaf pin on my coat, no matter what country i'm in- why? Well lets just say, it has nothing to do with americans...
I personally wear it because I'm FUCKING CANADIAN!!!!

I have flags on all my stuff, not because I'm NOT american- but because... I am.. CANADIAN..
It makes perfect sense to me.

And beyond that- we've been doing this since LONG before the damned war.
If Having an American flag on your bag when you were backpacking through Europe had as good an affect as a Canadian one- I'm sure more Americans would do it, too.

But- it just doesn't, and I can't believe that any one person- let alone enough people to actually write an article on the matter- could be that fucking insecure and IGNORANT.


crap.

I'm not sure how you can pin this on conservative Americans (war mongering or not). I'm a moderate conservative (libertarian) and I'm not bothered one bit by Canadian Patriotism. But then, I know more Canadians and Commonwealth types than most Americans and I see the value of the Commonwealth to the United States. Further, Canuks and Commonwealth troops are more likely to stand their ground [in my opinion] on a peace keeping mission than I'd expect Frog troopies to. I'm sure some of my ative and ex- Mil friends would comment on this.

Frankly, I'd be more inclined to blame it on daft americans that need PC (personal computer) technical terms PC-ified [Politically Correct) for them, or else they might take offense.

Upthe folks with the Mapleleaf patches. They're stalwart allies when we really need them.
