Heh, I'm sure there are plenty of books about a similar thing. What difference does it make? Besides, I believe a similar thing did take place against santa ana, and I believe texas ended up a US state sooner or later.

Sure they would be upset, and probably complain and protest, but there wouldn't be any government bans. That is the beauty of free speech in a free society. It works both ways. EX: The Dixie Chicks. They came out strongly against the President and their fanbase came out strongly against them for their comments, which is their right. Boycotts are not censorship, as they are controlled by the market (read: people), and not the state and it is a form of free speech. Once the state determines what the people can or cannot see or buy, then that is censorship and a curtailing of freedoms, whether right or wrong.

Now I'm going to go mend the rift between Canada and Mexico in this thread by dumping salsa on a big bowl of poutine and chowing down. Hell, the salsa might even make the sloppy, soggy mass of beefy potatoes edible...

It would be sweet if someone made a game where Americans were an invading force and you had to fight them.

Then America would be like "That's anti-American and also fascist and probably communist! These colors don't run!"

Once again, I'm sure we backward, unsophisticated Americans would be upset, yet we seem to have enough couth to not create legislation from those feelings, unlike the Mexican governor. The ability to exchange differing opinions is the backbone of a free society. Come spend some time in the US sometime if you can't wrap your mind around that concept. (Yes, that was petty and insulting, but so were the majority of your posts in this thread. Tit for tat.)

The funny part is its not the conservative Americans that are leaders in censorship these days, its the leftists ( I refuse to call them liberals). Al Gore has decided he will not even entertain any opinion opposing his global warming alarmism, even though both NASA and The New York Times have released data that refutes his claims. US Colleges and Universities consistently have expelled students who dare to express a differing opinion to that of "War is bad" and "Immigration laws are for meanies". Recently a proposed US ambassador was voted down, and the main reason given for this was that he dared to contribute $ to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (they campaigned against Kerry in 2004), which sets a horrific example.

Conservatism is no longer considered a political philosophy by the left, its considered evil and racist. Its not something that they consider for debate, its just wrong for the reason that it differs from their opinion (and it doesn't put "nice" before "pragmatic"). Leftists HATE conservatism and view it as rich people trying to become richer while exploiting the poor. Conservatives may think that leftists are wrong, but most still believe that they have the best intentions, even the radio talk show hosts admit that. This is a dangerous contrast for a democratic republic.

What were we talking about again? Oh yeah...

Once again, free speech goes both ways. If you criticize America, expect americans to return the favor. Its your right to criticize and its others right to criticize that criticism if they disaggree with you. Now if America then banned your criticism or made it illegal, then maybe you'd have something to really bitch about. Its kind of like how Sean Penn babbles about how dissenting opinion is censored in the US... yet he is babbling his dissenting opinion... in the US... while he's saying he can't actually do it...

Gotta love that kind of logic.

And this time please try and reply to my posts with ideas and not some silly quote from our national anthem. That kind of behavior just supports my view that those on the left have contempt for conservative ideas, or just have nothing real to refute them with. Plus, you sound a bit retarded doing it in all Caps. Your fellow Canadians deserve better representation, and you are fully capable of giving them just that.

That seems to be a mainstay in 90% of everything you post.

Poutine puzzles me more than any foreign policy.

[Typhoid]

I dont even know what poutine is, nor have I ever tasted said concoction.

Text has sound? Just a bit of creative criticism, a better word would have worked. How about seem, or look or how about we stop making 75% of all threads, in a video game forum no less, into something political?

I dont think those self-proclaimed backwards, unsophisticated Americans could handle it.
