Liberal la,la land…

I have always had difficulty in figuring out exactly what Liberals stand for due to their propensity for double speak and fuzzy logic

Check out the photo installed in the sidebar of Lib blogger Steve V (Far and Wide),entitled…’Was this Prophecy’

Does this guy live in in  la,la land, how the hell does one even arrive at such a ridiculous conclusion ? Particularly given the actual reality…i.e, it wasn’t the NDP  propping up Harper & his Con’s. I believe that “honor” goes to the Liberal Party,hands-down.

Indeed again and again and again…

I guess Steve ,a very typical Liberal, is counting on that cynical Liberal notion strategy that the electorate are stupid or have short memories ,therefore one can take license with the truth and spin it any way one chooses.

Facts and nuances be damned,hey Steve.

Liberal MP’S Hypocrites:Gee no kidding

After all it’s not like the Liberals party is known for it’s adherence to principled action.Rather it’s,say one thing  do the opposite and hope that the electorate are to stupid to notice.Smoke and mirrors.

Senator Fabian Manning is accusing the province’s Liberal MP’s of hypocrisy. Manning says less than 48 hours hours after the six Liberal MP’s stood to vote against the budget in the House of Commons, they flip-flopped and voted in favour of the Ways and Means Motions supporting the same budget.

I believe they call that political expediency,Liberal Party arrogance.

A reflection of  cynicism and the low regard to which many politicians hold  the common voter/citizen.

That contempt of the citizenry,which  drives many Canadians  to distrust politicians in general and many others to apathy.

Say one thing about the Conservatives,at least one knows where they stand.They definitly are not shy when it comes to “articulating” policy,i.e full speed ahead and damn the nuances.

But that is not to say that the Con’s are  less inclined to play political games than the Liberals, just not as sophisticated in their use of PR and words game .

Its not by accident that the Liberals Party like to use the term “Canada’s natural ruling party”. When it comes to hanging on to  power ,not only do they know all the tricks,the Liberals will not hesitate to employ them no matter how cynical & self serving.

Liberals Anti-semitism & Hysteria

Allegations or even the perception of anti-semitism is the kiss of death for any one running for public office.

Even when the allegation are unproven and or ridiculous as in the case of Lesley Hughes the Liberal party candidate for Kildonan-St. Paul,it matters in the least.

Earlier, Dion fended off questions about Hughes, saying the Canadian Jewish Congress was investigating to determine whether in fact the blog post should be construed as anti-Semitic.

The perception of antisemitism is enough to see most political party’s fleeing for cover,rather than stand up and denounce the allegations for what they are.

Expediency,being the preferred method of “handling” such matters.

An expediency that usually see the “offender” publicly humiliated,and sacrificed on the pyre of hysteria and phony self-righteous indignation.

Stephane Dion began his day defending Lesley Hughes over accusations of anti-Semitism.But by lunchtime Friday the Liberal leader had unceremoniously dumped the Winnipeg-area candidate in an abrupt move that seemed as much about removing the tarnish of intolerance from the party brand as it did with buffing his leadership image.

Antisemitism like all other expression of intolerance is total unacceptable there is no place for it in civil discourse.

Although it would seem some expression of intolerance are considered to be more egregious than others.

Take the case of Samira Laouni, a Muslim candidate running for the NDP in north-end Bourassa.

In which she,and the Muslim community  in general,was brow beaten and humiliated on the public airwaves by  FM 98.5 host Benoît Dutrizac who…

goading his Moroccan-born guest with jibes about her “sexy” hijab, about being “at the mercy” of her husband, about “imposing” fasting on children during Ramadan and for saying that under Muslim sharia law, “if I were to rape you here today, you’d need witnesses to testify that you weren’t consenting.”

These remarks were sexist,racist and full of hatred.Was there a media outcry no,did any government agency express it’s concern no.

Indeed was there a hint of concern from B’nai Brith or the Jewish Congress,both who are quick to point out,and rightly so, that intolerance must be combated where ever it appears so as not to allow it to take root.

Both are quick to urge the dismissal and public humiliation of anyone accused of anti-Semitism,many times based on but a few lines or sentences that may have been exaggerated or quoted out of context.

But when that same intolerance is aimed at Muslims, [or indigenous peoples for that matter] ,both are silent to the point of hypocrisy.

On another note these public lynchings are more about political correctness than any notion of justice.

Indeed if we were all held accountable for things we might have said at one time or another, over a lifetime,none of us would be safe from those that would judge,as if they them selves are above reproach.

At some point we would all be labeled,dismissed and humiliated.

Enough is enough.

T-minus 18 days until the only poll that counts
