Taking cheap shots at anything and everything conservative appears to be more her style. There are one or two people here (C_WTF comes to mind) whom I would consider small 'L' liberals and can thus be counted upon to give a reasonable, rational viewpoint on any given issue...but most of the others are hardcore ideologues. Doctrinaire diehard Liberals who will never see anything good in anyone who doesn't share their rigid, unswerving viewpoint nor ever admit any wrongdoing or mistakes themselves. Misdirection, obfuscation, slander and *outright lies* are quite acceptable to these types as long as it serves the Liberal cause.<br /><br /> If you were looking for actual back-and-forth political discussion, this is definitely not the place for it. This is a place for people not really smart enough to hold their own in a real debate to come and spew their childish bigotry, jealousy and animosity in a non-threatening (to them) environment, where they are most likely to be praised and congratulated for their efforts rather than vilified and ridiculed as they might be in a more open forum.<br /><br /> Oh well...I guess stupid people need love too...;)FredfromBCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-30033570179089619542009-09-30T15:34:09.386-04:002009-09-30T15:34:09.386-04:00@Omar

However I am bewildered that you are so blind that you still think there is some consipiracy by Conservative politicans against black Muslim women. <br /><br />You should not condone your posters throwing around disparaging and derogatory terms here. <br /><br />There clearly appears to be evidence that gives reason for the Canadian consular decisions.

To their credit (and despite all the hysterical hand-wringing from the Liberals), they stayed out of it and let the embassy officials *do their jobs*.<br /><br />You already know about the fraud problems at the Nairobi Airport (roughly 5 *fake* Canadian passports per week), but maybe you should do a little more research before you pick your side. This woman works for a company called ATS but doesn't know what the acronym stands for (nor what the TTC is, even though she supposedly took transit every day). She didn't know what lake Toronto is on. She didn't know which school she was going to nor who was Prime Minister of Canada (she couldn't even name the previous PM). <br /><br /> The list is very long, but two more stand out: not knowing the date of her wedding, and not knowing the date of *her child's birth*. Oh, please...<br /><br /> This could get very embarrassing for you if you keep spouting off without having any facts to support your contentions. Maybe you should wait for a bit more information to be released before deciding who to believe?<br /><br /> Personally, I'm sticking with my original first impression (subject to change as more reliable information becomes available, of course)..that it was her sister who originally tried to board the plane using her passport.
