This is in response to RECKLESSES ANTI-AMERICA POST

I PROUDLY post the following...and please take note..it was written by a CANADIAN.....


TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

> This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
> America: The Good Neighbor.
> Widespread but only partial news coverage was
> given recently to a remarkable editorial
> broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a
> Canadian television commentator. What follows is
> the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed
> in the Congressional Record:
>
> "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for
> the Americans as the most generous and possibly
> the least appreciated people on all the earth.
> Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain
> and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by
> the Americans who poured in billions of dollars
> and forgave other billions in debts. None of
> these countries is today paying even the interest
> on its remaining debts to the United States.
>
> When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956,
> it was the Americans who propped it up, and their
> reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
> streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
>
> When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the
> United States that hurries in to help. This
> spring, 59 American communities were flattened by
> tornadoes. Nobody helped.
>
> The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
> billions of dollars into discouraged countries.
> Now newspapers in those countries are writing
> about the decadent, war-mongering Americans.
>
> I'd like to see just one of those countries that
> is gloating over the erosion of the United States
> dollar build its own airplane. Does any other
> country in the world have a plane to equal the
> Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the
> Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why
> do all the International lines except Russia fly
> American Planes?
>
> You talk about American technocracy, and you find
> men on the moon-not once, but several times-
> and safely home again.
>
> You talk about scandals, and the Americans put
> theirs right in the store window for everybody to
> look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued
> and hounded. They are here on our streets, and
> most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian
> laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa
> at home to spend here.
>
> When the railways of France, Germany and India
> were breaking down through age, it was the
> Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania
> Railroad and the New York Central went broke,
> nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are
> still broke.
>
> I can name you 5000 times when the Americans
> raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can
> you name me even one time when someone else raced
> to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there
> was outside help even during the San Francisco

>
> Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
> Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get

> Canada is not one of those."
>
> Stand proud, America!

> This is one of the best editorials that I have

> that one man realizes it. I only wish that the
> rest of the world would realize it. We are always
