Q: Comment: I have a lot of respect for Ed Broadbent, but as long as the NDP are in the pocket of the unions, especially the public service unions, having them form a government would be very very dangerous. Unions are as bad if not worse than large commercial interests. Unions are more hypocritical, self righteous and less accountable to their stakeholders than their business counterparts.

A: Non-threat

Q: Comment: "Through the lens of history, we see that Islam is not America’s enemy today any more than Catholicism was England’s in the early 17th century."

Rubbish. In 1588, Philip II, the king of Spain, and a claimant to the English throne, through his marriage to his first wife Mary Tudor (Bloody Mary, Henry VIII's eldest daughter), sent the mightiest naval fleet ever assembled to attack England. If the Spanish Armada had succeeded, Philip would have used the  the Spanish Inquisition to destroy Protestantism in England. 

That was 17 years before the Gunpowder plot. The war continued in Central Europe 13  years later when Philip's cousin, Ferdinand of Austria, attacked Jame's son-in-law, the King of Bohemia and began the 30 Years War. 

You are ignorant of 17th Century history and wrong about the modern world. Islam is America's implacable Enemy, just like 17th Century Catholics were England's implacable enemy.

A:
Non-threat
