In Canada, the choice is left and more left—admittedly the least left of the five parties in parliament is presently in power, but outside of economic issues even the leadership of the conservatives isn’t to be trusted (and on economic issues I would trust the liberals, at least under their immediate past leader, more than I would the U.S. Senate Republicans). That said, Layton did a wonderful job crippling two other left-wing parties, and while I would not exempt him from my tag line, the line does apply to most politicians, and I think it lacking in charity to wish him in Hell. Thumbs up to Proud American from another proud American in Canada.
Thank you, Hieronymus! :)
“...In Canada, the choice is left and more left...”
Not much different from here in a lot of respects.
So, what’s up with Proud Americans in Canada? Vacationing? Ex-pat? Visiting relatives? Hunting? You guys live there or what?
“...lacking in charity to wish him in Hell...”
I don’t have a lot of charity when it comes to polticians and people who espouse an ideology that destroys peoples’ lives. Sorry, it’s just the way it is. My attitude rumples some folks’ feathers, I know. But then again, murder for utopian dreams rumples mine. Doesn’t matter to me if he’s just a “little bit socialist” or full fledged commie nuthouse. It ends up the same, as history has proven.
Felt the same way about Teddy Kennedy when he kicked. I’ll say the say about Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro when they choke off too.
