Flanagan's defence of Tory's

... Mr Flanagan has fairly defended small steps taken by the Conservative party, as well as reasonably argued the virtue in avoiding alienating those who might be adverse to "radical reform".
... However, it is inexcusable that he should be so condescending to those not so quick to compromise principle for power- those that he declares need to develop a more "mature" relationship with the party- those who might believe that we are not actually moving "in the right direction", but that we are not moving at all.

The Liberal Way

... The Liberal's apparent obsession with abandoning Afghanistan and implementing Kyoto is more an attempt to distract Canadian's from the absence of any true party identity, beyond criticising Conservative policies and stealing NDP ones; thus, the Liberal's meandering menagerie of dilettantes and debutantes, astronauts and academics, communist's sons and capitalist's daughters- all faithful followers of the magical, meaningless Middle Way.

Harper at the UN ..2

... Ahhh well... too quick with the accolades.
... Yesterday at the UN, our prime minister stated that there shouldn't be a choice between "unfettered capitalism on the one hand, and unfettered socialism on the other".
... Which, my friends, is saying absolutely nothing.

Harper at the UN

... We should be very proud of our prime minister at the UN this week, as he clearly and courageously defined the role of the state in a free nation..."Government's main role is to design tax and regulatory systems that enable the free market to work".
... What a far cry from the unrealistic fantasies and empty promises of previous Liberal governments- always quick with the smiles and signatures for a sympathetic press.
... It will take time to renew the spirit of initiative and independence which has been extinguished by generations of socialism in our nation- as evidenced by the popular, pitiful belief that the key to any change is angrily demanding government "action".

Three Small Men

... There is a good chance that our country will be forced into an entirely unnecessary fall election. Why?... to appease the ambitions and arrogance of three small men desperate to defend their leaderships- dishonestly demanding an environmental policy that they know to be unachievable.
... An election will only return Mr. Harper another minority government, and the well-deserved resignation of all three of these small men.

On Mr. Layton

... It must be begrudgingly admitted that Mr. Layton- the man who will likely save this country an entirely unnecessary fall election- is quietly emerging as an icon of integrity. He has not abandoned every personal political principle upon election like Mr. Harper; nor does he content himself with a merely contrarian agenda, or allow his party's agenda to aimlessly drift according to the polls of the day- like the desperate, grandstanding Mr. Dion and Duceppe.
... Hopefully one day, Mr. Layton will put away his lava-lamp, and join us on the Right- a defender of individual liberty, instead of a persecutor.

Dion gets personal...

...Why would Mr. Dion's announcement that he is now going to "play the role of leader" be considered newsworthy, never mind front-page news?
... Nothing is more indicative of the media's Liberal bias than it's almost-universal absence of effort in articulating our elected government's initiatives, yet allowing apparently unlimited opportunity to Mr. Dion to elaborate on every idle opinion or predictable disagreement with our government's policies.
