Slander is the sum of socialist politics
National Post - Canada ^ | 8-3-02 | Elizabeth Nickson

It's always so nice to encounter someone more right-wing than me. It's even relaxing, since I can fob all the projections and suspicion onto them. Rare though, especially in hacking, especially in Canada. Almost everyone is from the left, far left, liberal, wussy in-the-middle, and worst of all, technocratic left. Little good to say that left-wing thought is based on communism, which produced Stalin, who murdered 20 million of his own people, dragged half the world into slavery, wasted the lives of several generations, the theory of which is still shadowing most developing countries with very, very bad ideas. No, they are on the side of the angels, always, no question about it and you? You are pond scum.

In the past few weeks, I've written about gay marriage (against it), black people (love them, against throwing billions more into Africa's sinkhole), women's studies at universities (destructive nonsense) and something else I can't remember right now. Since then -- and I knew this would happen, so thanks guys for offering your lily white necks for my vampirish delight (I have to pause here to rub my hands together and anticipate the meal because the soft flesh of liberals is particularly yummy, since not marred by the musculature of actual thought) -- I have been called a reactionary bitch, racist. This despite actual black people writing to say thanks. As well as sexist, homophobic, and being compared to Catholics (?), new-age nut cases, cultists, and neo-Nazis. I was asked what airline I fly so the writer could pass the info along to some Middle Eastern fellows she knows. Then racist and a fascist again. This from real people with government jobs. So essentially I'm being deluged with hate mail from people whose salaries I help pay. Liberal theory at its necessary conclusion, or can I call it, left-wing fascism? Yes, I rather think I will. Canada is a left-wing fascist state. Go ahead and try and prove me wrong.

Anyway, so when a friend called in tears because some technician at the CBC had beaten her up, I said, (after I comforted her because we racist Nazi Jew bitches, never mind that she's native, gotta stick together even though we're naturally cruel and hard and like to see people cry), "What did you expect? We're only ever invited onto the CBC so they can beat us up. You know that." She snuffled and admitted that she did. Then we both swore to never ever appear on the CBC again. They can find someone else to kick around. Stephen Harper, for instance. We're sure he gets paid more than us.

Actually this is serious stuff and lots of people are aware of it. It is why, for example, Ann Coulter's Slander is on top of every non-fiction, best-seller list in the States. Subtitled Liberal Lies about the American Right, along with Matt Drudge, by page 12, I was shouting, laughing and punching the air. Yes! Someone has finally marshalled the facts, made the case, prosecuted, and once you read the book, won the argument. Hands down. The left has no ideas but effectively muzzles conservatives by accusing them of racism, sexism and homophobia.

But, truth is seductive, as we say in the vast right-wing conspiracy. As Coulter makes clear, it is why conservative books are routinely on top of the best-seller lists. Conservatives read books. Despite the fact that their advances are 10% of famous liberal writers, conservative authors outsell all liberal political, historical and economics writers by a continent of forests. It is why talk radio is so popular, and why Fox News blows every other cable news channel out of the water. Coulter lists the many liberals who have attempted to poach on Rush Limbaugh's turf. Hilarious: Alan Dershowitz, Gary Hart, Mario Cuomo, Jim Hightower, Ed Koch, Lowell Wicker. Cancelled, cancelled, cancelled, cancelled. No listeners. Right-wingers happily splashing in 600 markets. Most people agree with conservative political thought, when it is laid out in plain terms.

Not easy to do. In the States, even more so in Canada, 90 out of a 100 journalists comes to his or her material from the left. So what we get, routinely, in every single mass-market media organ, is hectoring nonsense about our failings, and the impossibility of ever solving one single problem, except with vast increases in taxes and bureaucracy. Why, asks my most intelligent friend, can't I get interested in federal politics? Because, I say, there's no one up there with great, or even good ideas. All they do, all day long, is try to figure out how to get more money out of our pockets. And everything is run, dictatorship-style from the PMO. Deliberately dull, impenetrable, and fundamentally hostile to democracy.

And their most effective tool? Slander. All the left has to do to the right to devalue its ideas is charge all the things that I have been charged with: Racist. Sexist. Fascist. Exaggerating? I don't think so. Heritage Minister Sheila Copps once compared Preston Manning to KKK member David Duke. Now I've met Preston Manning, and if he's a KKK sympathizer, then I'm a guy, and believe me, I'm all female and proud of it. Two years ago, Elinor Caplan compared Alliance supporters to "Holocaust deniers." After the Alliance embarrassed the Liberals by pointing out that 72% of refugee claimants enter this country through the U.S., Immigration Minister Denis Coderre called the Alliance a Le Pen franchise.

The right in Canada has very good ideas and there is an excellent chance you will never hear them. Compas pollster Conrad Winn contends that the Liberals will continue to use the race card against the Alliance because it continues to work. "We've done surveys revealing amazing support for the across-the-board policies of the Alliance, including on immigration. But the Alliance simply doesn't have the skills to fight back against the [racism] charge."

The results? Liberal corruption, which this paper has proved conclusively is epidemic and endemic. Public cynicism and withdrawal. The bullying of challengers by human rights tribunals who suppress free speech. The hobbling of police forces unable to investigate crimes in immigrant populations. The financial constriction of middle-class families. The time-bomb of an ever-increasing under-class. A consistent policy of putting the ideas of political correctness ahead of public safety. An imperial judiciary. Left-wing fascism.

Hey Canada, isn't it time for that revolution you've yet to have?

Sigh. I suppose I should have known public discourse was no better in Canada. It's odd, though. To tourists, they're about as gracious and hospitable as a people ever gets. I have yet to meet a Canadian I disliked.

"Canada is a left-wing fascist state."

The United States is following on very closely to Canada's left tilt. There is a certian bullying that has been going on since the hippie days of the 60's when the left became empowered. This moral high ground is difficult to overcome especially when the left owns the public education in both countries.

So yes, that's all the lefties can do is call names and accuse the right of RACISM, SEXISM and HOMOPHOBIA!(The mantra of the left.) Those young people who are taught this mantra from first grade till they graduate from the university believe it.

I believe the west has been more successful at teaching socialism than Russia -- go figure -- how many 22 year-olds know Stalin killed 20 million as she states in this article?

American conservatism is the only real progressivism.

Anticonservatism is simply the systematic advocacy of some form or the other of eating the seed corn. That's always popular until the next harvest doesn't come it--but then, anticonservatism then shifts the blame and changes the subject. And is able to do so because of its dominance of entertainment, including journalism.

Anticonservatism dominates entertainment for the simple reason that conservatism is--well, it's conservative. Not flashy, not given to flights of emotion. It simply isn't entertaining, and doesn't pretend to be. The only interesting thing conservatives do is to debunk the latest anticonservative stategy to betray the future for fun and profit.

I can only agree with her. In the Netherlands Pim Fortuyn fell victim to the lies of the left. Before he was killed, he was a 'far-right-wing-extremist-neo-nazi-jew-hater', but now the world found out it was all slander now they refer to him as 'populist'.

The left and the truth just doesn't go together. Why bother with facts as you can use slander and lies.

BTW: National Post rules!

"I have yet to meet a Canadian I disliked. "

Yes, Canadians are polite and charming. I've spent several years there and I can say that the surface needs to be scratched a bit before you can see what is underneath. In the 90's when Quebec was trying to become a French speaking country and break away from Canada things got very tense. There was a lot of retribution poured out on Anglo-phones after the Franc-phones lost the vote.

Canadians like to accuse us Americans of being cruel and heartless but as this article points out that the left-winged nuts in Canada can be very cruel. There have been a lot of bombs set off by the left in Canada so they are capable of great cruelity.

Don't see how anyone can.

Fascism: a system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

A bit twisted, but they're still working on it.
A few more ministerial posts ought to do it.

"dominance of entertainment, including journalism."

I've added Christianity to my own list just lately. I've drilled into the Roman Catholic crisis and have found out that the left runs the seminaries and much of RC education. There are left winged abortion and homosexual advocacy groups that are very active and powerful right inside the church.

I'm afraid to find out how deep this corruption of the church really goes.

...and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

That part was a bit puzzling until I saw the brilliance of the new Canadian approach:

a policy of belligerent anti-nationalism and reverse racism.

The fallout from this novel canuck twist is yet to be seen, but can't help but be spectacular.

reverse racism.

I worked with a Canadian who was incredibly guilty because his life was so sheltered and he had not encountered many black Canadians. The university had programmed him to be extremely sensitive to the plight of "peoples of colour". He wanted to make things right with the blacks on a personal basis because of all the racism blacks had endured over the centuries. He envied me an American because I could be close to blacks and had grown up with and had many black friends.

He treated East Indians very terribly but that’s OK in Canada for some reason Indians don’t have the respect they have here in the states??? So I don’t get it. I just have noticed that the Canadian educational system is better at "social awareness programming" than the US especially if the kids go to French immersion school.

You certainly can get indications that it's as bad or worse in the Methodist church, in which I grew up.

Baptists are capable of it too, but the heirachial structure just isn't there to really take over systemically. Too much local autonomy, and too independent-minded congregations. Not perfect, but leftism has definite impediments there.

The tentacles of entertainment's influence have a long reach.

It's the old proselyte leftist technique: if you don't support this you go to hell as a racist, if not that, you go to the pit as a homophobe, and if you refuse it you are inhumane and must be incarcerated etc...

Time and again the worshipers of their fascism will condemn, condemn, condemn if you do not agree with their ideas. It is purely emotional reactionarism.

The lady might be describing a lot of other Western Nations, today, besides Canada. The Leftist disease is gnawing at the vitals of the West. We also need to understand more about that "ever-increasing under-class," and the long term consequences for the social infrastructure.
