POSTED RESPONSES TO A COLUMN BY JEFFREY SIMPSON IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
Exactly.
But that is because
they are not accurately called Conservatives.
Harper's party is a
Northern affiliate of the Republican Right, which also is not in any way a
genuine conservative party.
It is the party of the
imperial establishment, full stop.
Whatever Eisenhower's
"military-industrial complex" wants, it gets.
Whatever measures
represent traditional, responsible conservatism are irrelevant.

Wrong.
That is what they like to pretend they are doing.
In effect, they are spending irresponsible amounts of money
on new matters.
How is the F-35, a gulag of new prisons, a pointless war in
Afghanistan, and a host of other measures starving anything?

How do you know the majority?
And how do you know it is unwashed?
Are you Canada's preeminent secret pollster?
Of course you are not.
Expressions like yours are simply a display of the same kind
of ignorant arrogance we see from Harper regularly.
Or from the shabby likes of Newt Gingrich.

Harper is just a far less garrulous and amusing version of
Newt Gingrich, albeit wearing a red-and-white tuque instead of being wrapped in

"How about
ADSCAM, where did that money go...?"
Simply pathetic.
Harper's thugs stand in contempt of Parliament, in violation
of all principles of an open society, and now in violation of our election
laws.
In sum, Harper has pissed on our democratic values.
The Adscam business involved a genuine effort to preserve
the country's integrity, an effort abused by a small number.
There's no comparison - none.
