And what are the "facts" ? I pointed out the inherent hypocrisy in believing in two opposing ideological forces. You seem to want to rewrite the laws of physics.
"It was a die-hard Conservative idealogue that brought the Progressive Conservative Party to its knees"
And, um, pray tell who was that ? BTW, I'll also add the hillarity of the very name of that thankfully irrelevent party as an example of the above hypocrisy. Progressive is leftist, and Conservatism isn't. I shed no tears when that party died as a serious opposition farce (sic). Anything based in falsity and hypocrisy deserves such a fate. A phoenix needed to rise from that farce.
"just as a die-hard ideologue seems to be doing the same now."
You mean Harper ? So you're blaming the greatest Canadian Conservative in quite literally decades for failure when the current situation is nothing more but a desperate and sad attempt by the rejected and dejected rabid moonbattery of politics attempting an unholy and what may likely prove seriously unpopular coup d'etat of a duly elected plurality gov't ? You have a most bizarre outlook, sir.
"And I was using it to point out that most life revolves around mutual give-and-take. You know; negotiation."
Yes, usually the giving away of right and the taking away of right. I've witnessed that schtick for a long time now.
"I’m glad that your life is so cut-and-dried. The vast majority don’t enjoy such an undiluted circumstance."
Because good people refuse to stand up against wrong. They merely allow enlightened individuals such as yourself "negotiate" the right away. ;-)

fieldmarshaldj, if you don’t know anything about the Progressive Conservative Party, don’t haul-off denying its previous existence like it’s a Jaberwocky. It existed. For nearly seven decades. Deal with reality, not your preferences.

Yeah, the control freak. The man so focussed on dissing his political rivals that the economy can burn and the peasants eat cake. Yeah, that’s the guy. The one that 60+ percent of the electorate DIDN’T vote for.
“Yes, usually the giving away of right and the taking away of right. I’ve witnessed that schtick for a long time now.”
Ah! I see! I’m glad your life on a desert island is going so glowingly. As I said, that’s exceptional in the experience of most, conservative or liberal.
“Because good people refuse to stand up against wrong. They merely allow enlightened individuals such as yourself “negotiate” the right away. ;-)”
You have an interestingly narrow outlook. I was referring to the day-to-day reality the vast majority face where absolutes as you see them aren’t possible. Like when it’s a toss-up between paying the mortgage or eating after you’ve been laid off. But then again, that would be the fault of the person deciding in your book because he shouldn’t have been stupid enough to be in the position of being laid off, right?
My apologies if I’ve mischaracterised your position. In this day and age, finding someone who seems quite so thoughtless and heartless is unusual and my reaction was visceral.
