PING!

To actually block this agenda, therefore, the Tories will have to clear away virtually the whole top echelon of the civil service.

Good advice for Canada's Tories.

And for America's conservatives...

They have assumed, for instance, that they governed a country whose whole system of values must be changed. I don't mean has changed. I mean, must be changed--changed by them. Old ideas of the permanence of marriage, parental authority, the responsibility of the individual, rather than the state, for his own well being--all this must go.

Not just in Canada buddy.

The people just don't understand their own best interest. It's the experts, the sages, the wisely endowed, who know what's good for them

Thank God for elitist liberals! To paraphrase Homer Simpson, 'Lisa, the reason we have a government is so that we don't have to think'.

How likely is that to happen? It's been 6 years since Clinton left, and many of the systemic roaches are clinging to life still.

Which, of course, was our advice to the Bush Administration in January of 2001.

They didn't listen, and I bet the Tories won't either.

Hope I'm wrong...

They will be above all this, the "Guardians" in Plato's plan for the ideal authoritarian state. In Canada, they are called judges.

Like...Judge Dredd?

Why mince words? Pretty clear that "liberal" = "Communist" And the equation holds true in American too.

[nmh]

This sounds like the agenda set by the Demoncrats here.

Canada's Liberals all seem to have issues with their mothers.

This is a medical problem.

[Blind Eye Jones]

The irony is that people don't follow these connections that point to totalitarianism... and you can talk till yer blue in the face about it and most people will still say, "Eh?." Most of the people on this board know what others are saying, the lines of thoughts that are commonly shared but out there in the world, most people will still say, "Liberals = Communism ... UGH!" I even think that most Liberal MPs don't even make the common connections that we make on this board. If the MPs defer to academia they will see Queer and Feminist theorists as educated, well dressed, respectable people, who talk about "equality" and being "progressive" and about being more in touch with the European vanguard and how Canada is falling behind the new trends, and not quite as internationally fashionable or hip as we should be. They think that Canadians should not lag behind anybody if they're progressive and cool and have the smarts and resources. In other words, get on board the latest radical queer theory and Canadian culture will impove and thank you for it... more to the point, they can't see it as a train wreck!

A poorly written story.

You don't discover the "hidden agenda" until the next to last paragraph.

The editor should be fired.
