1. Why does the state-owned, taxpayer-funded, socialism-reliant news and entertainment media behemoth HAVE political opinions?
“…The Tea Partiers’ America is a richly imagined nation, one in which a suitably shrunken government, its general uselessness exposed to all, answers directly to ruggedly individualistic citizens who carve out decent livings solely by dint of hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, scorning government handouts, and who are free of crippling taxes and regulations.
“Everybody speaks English in this America, preferably only English, and prays regularly. Their children don’t need abortions because they practise abstinence until they enter into a heterosexual marriage, often after military service, during which they get to go into combat abroad against America’s myriad enemies.
“A Tea-Party America would already be whacking the Iranians, slapping North Korea around and straightening out the Pakistanis.
“All of this would be financed by waves of tax cuts here at home because, as everybody knows, tax cuts provoke such wild economic growth that governments actually wind up richer. …”

According to CBC reporter Joe Schlesinger, what is the greatest advantage of the Canadian health-care system over its U.S. counterpart?”)
