Is America Too Oppressive & Extreme?

I recently received an email from a reader asking What does Canada think about America? Are we to oppressive and extreme to other countries on our hemisphere, and what can we do with out giving up our moral values and Christian Beliefs. So, what do you think give me your honest opinion! Thanks Concerned, but Proud American This was my reply to "Concerned but Proud American" I am glad you are a Proud American, but IMHO, you should be concerned. Admittedly, there is an element of Canadian society that is very "anti-American", but please do not include me with that sector. I am very Pro-American actually. That is why I have this blog, to hopefully bring to everyone's attention the way this administration, in their lust for power is attempting to not only muzzle the voice of the people in the US but also weaken their rights. As for giving up your moral values and Christian beliefs, of course you should not give those up. However, can you please explain to me how this administration can claim to be Christian while at the same time killing innocent Iraqi citizens? How can they claim to be Christian while letting innocents die on the African continent by pledging money in the fight against AIDS, but attaching a restriction on that money by limiting it to only those countries who will not use it for the teaching of safe sexual practices and instead preaching abstinence? Can they be Christian when using a brain dead person for political purposes and photo-ops? I could go on and on, but I think you can see where I am coming from. In otherwords, I am not Anti-American, far from it. I am however, Anti-this administration. I am "Anti" anything or anybody who tries to limit the rights of people, and attempts to turn a great and caring nation into one of a dominating occupier. Thanks for writing, canuk I would be interested what other readers have to say about this topic. Please feel free to comment as always.
