Perhaps you should look at what you just wrote. >by the (seeming) fact that my (seemingly) non-partisan comments are painting me as a liberal! If it seems to you that your comments were non partisan, then I think we have gotten to the root of the issue. I do find it fascinating that so many people here in the U.S., and now it appears in Canada as well, don't like to be labeled as a liberal. Every time we get into an election cycle, the liberals run to the middle (and yes many of the right wingers run to the middle too). Perhaps it would be more acceptable if we were to use more appropriate labels like Socialist or Communist. I still can't find the part in the U.S. Constitution about the role of the Federal Government in the redistribution of wealth. I've got no problem with people outside the U.S. expressing their views on our elections. My problem comes when governments and institutions like the U.N. are given a voice, or worse yet, a veto over the decisions made by the U.S. citizenry and its government. I have problems when our Supreme Court uses legal precedents from other countries to base their decisions about the Constitutionality of OUR Laws. All of this is ESPECIALLY disturbing, when our historical allies are "on the take," helping to undermine the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed by those who are professed globalists.
