Recent events in American politics suggest liberals are clowns with zero sense of perspective. No wonder Americans don't elect them anymore. Canadians need to wise up and get in on the joke.
Last week, the liberal media fell over itself as a U.S. special prosecutor charged vice-presidential aide "Scooter" Libby with lying, during the investigation of a non-crime, about whether he first heard a CIA operative's name from a reporter or from somewhere else.
Who cares? We've got the president of Iran rapping like Eminem about "wiping Israel off the map," and the liberal priority, as articulated by Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid, is: "When is (President George Bush's chief of staff) Karl Rove going to resign?"
Next: "Does that cloud look like Elvis?"
As Iraqis risked being fragged by terrorists and participated in their second democratic vote, liberals predicted failure of the constitutional referendum. When it succeeded, many of them found God for the first time with cries of "theocracy."
Now they're bracing for "civil war." How about focusing on the political one you're losing at home, instead of doing pom-pom routines with the terrorists?
We don't need liberals. Not only do these perpetual pessimists consume valuable oxygen which, as they keep telling us, will be gone soon enough, but they're like kiddies sitting at the short table, thrashing out gems like "Bushitler!" and "no oil!" while the grownups try to get things done.
On the eve of CIA-leak prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's charges last week, liberal bloggers celebrated "Fitzmas" -- their own version of Christmas. It's as if things are so bad that they need to invent more reasons to drink.
Conservatives are capable of opposing themselves quite effectively. And that's a reason to vote them in to office, not to keep them out like we do in Canada. Democrats didn't eviscerate Bush's Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers -- Republicans did.
From Watergate to Iran-Contra, liberals got ahead in America by sitting around waiting for conservatives to screw up while getting things done. Just as a dog knows whether it has been kicked by accident or on purpose, so do voters. Except, apparently, if you're a Canadian and still vote Liberal.
We don't need the liberal media anymore, either. CBS President Les Moonves seemed to clue in to that fact recently when he put some tight-end from the sports division in charge of developing a "new vision" for CBS News. Wasn't last season's Rock Star: INXS winner available?
Media liberals are generally so useless that they need to slope the playing field to score a win. Our own CBC does long interviews with conservatives and then hacks them up into five-second clips, surrounded by editorializing like, "This is Rachel. She hates health care."
U.S. liberal radio host and author Al Franken has resorted to staging Jerry-Springer-style fights against fake conservative opponents. In a recent promotional video for his new book, he breaks a stool over the back of some actor hired to play a conservative critic, and then knees him in the bod-rod.
Canadian liberal clowns are no different from American ones. Thanks to them, gays can now get married and you can read more Canadian content in split-run magazines. Big whoop. Meanwhile, violent crime is on the rise in big cities like Toronto.
Of course, if you believe liberal propagandist Michael Moore's movie Bowling for Columbine, Toronto is apparently so safe that no one even locks their doors.
Thanks.
It's a superb editorial, I had to share it.
:-)
Dang, that was good. I had to double back to the top to see if it was a Steyn article.
LOL.
We still have hope.
Hope, and a kind of simmering anger.
That can only be good.
;-)
No, Rachel Marsden has competition......
Glad you enjoyed it.
WTH, Just because we are exposing the liberals for what they are, it doesn't mean we can't have some fun along the way!
:-D
I think you are entirely correct. All Harper was saying was finally the West can participate. But that was enough for High Tories in Ontario. “The West? O my God. They still chew on toothpicks and go outside to take a piss. We have Bay Street. We’re sophisticated. Can’t have those Ford truck drivers in Ottawa.”
LOL!
That sounds like rural and Eastern Ontario.
We're good people.
If we were smart we'd get together and stop this c**p. Hold the Liberals responsible for their failings. ( You know, theft, money laundering, golf course deals written on napkins.)
Canadians could (finally) group together, and vote the Bas**rds out. The only hope for Canada is to change the government.
Exactly. To quote myself. "liberals are unfit for citizenship in a free country. " I like it so much it's going to be my tag line.
LOL.
I like your tag line.
Thanks
Hey that's a good one. And I like your screen name too.
Hey Canada, just axe the Frenchies and join the U.S. Together we can run this side of the planet.
Good article out of Canada.
Funny you should say that. I was thinking when I was reading the article that her style was similar, if not as sharp and polished.
Thanks, Ivan. You made my day.
Amazing that a Canadian would agree with you???? There are LOTS of us. Most of us however are NOT in Ontario. Therein lies the rub. A HUGE number of the seats are voted in by Ontario. It appears to me like they DON'T CARE if they are having their pockets picked in broad daylight. It's like they are saying "Please keep doing that". UGGGGGGHHHHH!! IF Canada does NOT get rid of these HIDEOUSLY CORRUPT FAR LEFT COMMIES this time, then this country is FINISHED.
