Filthy Hippie Hands Across the Generations in Canada

TSO found this article in USAToday that highlights how two generations of cowards in Canada found a reason to sing Kumbayah together;

Deportation, court martial and prison are imminent threats to Hart and about 200 other U.S. troops seeking sanctuary in Canada. Despite being members of an all-voluntary military, some oppose the war in Iraq so strongly they are willing to leave their country behind — much like Americans of an earlier generation who crossed the border in the 1960s and ’70s to avoid serving in Vietnam and built new lives here.

Some of the draft dodgers and deserters of the Vietnam era, most of them now graying Canadian citizens, are helping the young deserters fight legal battles and find work and housing.

Of course, that 200 number, like every other number the Left likes to repeat is only an estimate jerked out of someone’s ass during the Bush years and remains a part of their myths. Some of the filthy hippies remain there despite the fact that Jimmy Carter gave them all amnesty as his first official act of his presidency – the day after his inauguration.

Charlie Diamond was 23 when he fled to Canada from Connecticut in 1968 to avoid going to Vietnam. By then, the war was unpopular in both countries. Americans were marching in the streets in protest and young men were burning their draft cards.

Now 64 and a Canadian, he is reciprocating for the welcome he found here.

“I want my country once again to be a refuge from militarism,” says Diamond, who has joined others who refused to fight in Vietnam — they prefer the term “resisters” — in the War Resisters Support Campaign.

I prefer the term “goat raping coward” for them myself. Every time the conservative government denies permission for the goat raping cowards to stay, the courts block deportation. You’d think that Canadian tax payers would be tired of supporting the absolute ritards we’ve inflicted on them.

Like Corey Glass – the last we heard, the Army says they’re not looking for him, yet he keeps applying for refugee status. Or Kimberly Rivera, the welfare queen who joined the Army, spent her enlistment bonus on a leather couch and then absconded to Canada with her lazy husband and a litter of kids – and then started procreating on Canada’s dime. Or the literature-ati of the Iraq war generation Joshua Keys, the guy TSO eviscerated several months ago.

Oh, and don’t forget Bethany Smith/Skyler James whose main complaint is that the Army DIDN’T boot her for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell when her number was up to deploy.

You just can’t make this shit up. Hey, it’s your money, Canada.

Some guy named MOTHAX at the Burn Pit does a better job with the stars of the article.
