The Author of this one reason the GOP is getting ripped apart. Get rid her and the other hate in the party and they would be much better off.
And Mike if this is one of the author you like to post, your claim the liberalness are not republicans is stripped away.

This particular part of the Op-ed piece I find quite humorous;
"I know young, well-educated Canadians who waited a decade for that privilege." More lies.... Lol
You don't know any Canadians, even the Canadian Conservative Right is so far left of the US Democratic Party, that all Canadians hate you Ann, every last one of us.

It's beyond policy all the way to mindset. Just as an example, 3 no names from our Conservative party sent a letter the the RCMP asking them to investigate several abortions as homicide. Our Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper (incredibly smart but not to be trusted) stood up and said (paraphrasing here) "Whether you agree with it or not we can all agree that abortion is legal in this country and we're not reopening that"
Basically, our "conservatives" would love to see abortion outlawed, and some even picket at hospitals that perform them, etc. but at the end of the day, it's been deemed legal and it's no longer an issue at any official level. Right now dour biggest fight is between economy and environment and involves massive amounts of pipeline going through the country. Our second biggest fight at the moment is between the First Nations and the government. Now look at your fights. You're still fighting over abortion. You're still fighting over gay marriage (legal here with little fight).
The mindset is more left, or rather, our more center and the US is on the right. Our policies don't come into the equation because that's the result of our mindset.

I think you're reading what you want to as well, then.
I'd just prefer a president that's going to do a good job, and Obama is not that guy (and neither was Romney, for the record).

Id prefer if all conservatives could respect the office of President even though they don't like the man.
It's President Obama. Too many conservatives aren't willing to admit that. They disrespect the office of President because they don't like the man who was elected. Yes, liberals did the same with Bush. You're just as bad as them (I'm talking groups). Congratulations.
If you only see bashing from one side, you're only reading half. It comes from all sides here. To say otherwise is ignorant, naive or both. I've never once said only conservatives bash. I've seen conservative after conservative try to claim only liberals bash, though, and that's a flat out lie.

The beauty here is I'm not a conservative, and don't feel the need to categorize myself. I have far more liberal opinions than conservative, though.
Why would I respect someone so bad at his job and someone who is ruining the country, though? He doesn't respect me, or people such as myself, and I can guarantee he, like most people involved in government couldn't care less about the average citizen.

Fair enough. Doesn't change my point.
I never asked you to respect the man. Hate the man, I don't care. Respect where he is and the office he holds though. It is your opinion he is ruining the country and while that is your right, it doesn't give you the right to disrespect the Presidency and, unfortunately for you, he holds it.
A true patriot can hate the man and still respect the office he holds. Criticize him all you want. It's good to criticize our elected officials, far to few just complain and think they're criticizing, or flat out disrespect and think they're making a point. The point you're making is "I don't respect the Presidency" not "I don't respect the man who is President."
There's also the matter of simply showing a little class, grace and dignity.
