A Gitmo Boarder for Every Liberal
Aided and abetted by Canada’s lefty MSM, and a registry of Facebook Liberal malcontents, the people orchestrating the “great” prorogue outrage are trying vainly to convince the rest of us of something incredible. My hands-on observation, from three consecutive attempts to gain a federal seat, is that the average Canadian gives a fig about parliamentary procedure. The most often heard words during my canvassing – within two weeks of the election – was that they had not yet explored issues, and would decide closer to the voting date. This, then, is the raw material with which the natural party in-waiting, has to work in trying to build outrage over the absence of animals at the parliament zoo.
The real reason Liberals are playing this desperate gambit, has nothing to do with any farcical claims about their profound reverence for democracy. (Remember, this is the party whose notions of democracy included their democratic access to the contents of the taxpayer’s cookie jar.) Aside from the fact that the Harper minority continues to defy all their survival estimates, there are two vital reasons why they are frothing. First that Harper has thus been able to manoeuvre the Senate out of Liberal control, and second, he has managed to avoid additional heat over the Liberal’s feigned obsession with the rights of Taliban cutthroats.
As for the Senate; manipulation of its majority, and the consequential control of legislation is something Chretien took to a fine art. How does it feel now?
As for the Taliban cutthroats, even if you are too Liberal to defend your own convictions, - never mind those of the victims - there is a bright side. The Obama administration is equally obsessed with the rights of murderers and maimers, and the little darlings’ rights are being upheld in a court (just like you and me). And, nasty places like Guantanamo are being shuttered in favour, presumably, of less punitive and intrusive institutions. This can only amount to good news for Canada, because the jihad loonies will now flock to America, the land of justice, where they will be properly treated in case their rendezvous with the seventy-two virgins got botched. Hell, in Canada, you might have your rights violated for a little thing like a “man-made” airline disaster.
Let’s kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Let’s take care of Mr. Obama’s uncomfortable Gitmo dilemma, and our own Liberal confusion about who the enemy is. Let’s have our Liberal MPs walk their talk by each taking in a Gitmo boarder.
