RepubliCanadian Revelations
Right now, I'm watching that gutless talking head Peter Mackay sermon about how we are saving the world from Satan and Revelations by being in Afghanistan. It makes me sick to my stomach. And once again he is playing the cynical RepubliCanadian (tm) support-our-troops or burn in hell card.
I have to ask you all this question: What the fuck do Afghanistan, or Israel for that matter, have to do with the sovereignty and integral national priorities of Canada? Instead of rolling out fake 40 year plans for the reduction of greenhouse gas emmisions which aren't worth the breath taken to utter them, why not focus on important things like transfer payment reform?
While I'm at it, what the hell are the Liberal leaders doing haggling over questions about Israel? is that really the biggest threat to world peace now? What about China, Korea and the US? When did Israel take precedence in foreign policy in this country? Israel is no more important than any country where people's lives are put at risk because of politics or religion.
Get a grip Canada. Know why? Because we are being plunged into a morass of civil disagreement unseen before in our history. You thought abortion or same sex marriage were big wedge issues? Forget 'em. Wait till this American-style hate propagating takes root during the lead-up to the next election. That's exactly what Harper's boys are gunning for. Unfortunately, the Jewish and Muslim communities are going to be tossed into this propaganda cock-fight, while smirking idiots on both sides of the house remain unscathed, counting their fortunes.
After the rage, I truly feel sad for our country right now. I don't give a shit who is right. We have to move on, quickly.

Right on K-Dough!
I'd rather fight a gender war! Bring 'em on!
I'll fight anybody over anything!
It's hard to take MacKay and Harper going on about courage and fighting the good fight because they're a pair of noodle-armed fancy lads.
The toughest thing they've ever been through is an overdone steak.
ALT- LOL. Now that is good material!
It is sick that MacKay was only just trying to change the channel on the disappointing clean air announcement. To use that kind of fear mongering rhetoric to do so is punishable by obsolescence.
I appreciate what you're saying, K-Dough, but it's more than Israel. It's the whole Palestinian mess. This is a major source of Arab, and indeed Muslim, anger at the West. Resolve this and much of the world simmers down. We simply cannot ignore something that has grown into an international monster.
Resolve this and much of the world simmers down.
Canadians have to accept that, aside from offering moral support (or 'moral clarity' as the Harpies say), there's really nothing we can do that can really make any difference.
This mess is a result of the previous Empire, the present Empire, and corporate lust over strategic resources.
I think Canada needs to move on from the ME as a focus of our foreign policy.
Matriarchist:
I, in turn, appreciate what you are saying. Respectfully, when you say "We simply cannot ignore something that has grown into an international monster"- how do you reconcile that with the fact that we are more in-line in terms of foreign policy with the aims of largest of the earth's predatorial monsters- the US?
I can't reconcile it, K-Dough, but that's another question entirely, isn't it?
I certainly don't support following the American line which, if anything, has helped feed the monster.
Matriarchist: Another question yes, but I'd say a relevant one within the context of a discussion on what our foreign policy priorities are/should be. Esp., considering our current policy seems to mirror the monster's so closely.
J-Dog- Mitsou for Leader of the Liberal Party!!!!!!!!!!
Stop with the seriousness K-Dough... your fucking up my mind break.
Besides, as I've just announced to the world, I'm officially embarking on a new project today. The reverse engineering of DNA...
I'm building a new me. One simply isn't enough, and I hate to drink alone.
K-Dough, you have been on a rampage lately. All valid, of course, but I need to start reading/contributing about the joys of fucking a handful of hot mashed potatoes with thumb-tacks again.
Only then can I focus more clearly on the threat of neocons.
No sympathy eh? And after all I've done for you.
I couldn't agree with you more, k-dude. Well, I could, but I fear a lubricant of some sort would be involved.
[sound of applause from Havril's computer. Wait, that isn't applause. It's certainly skin on skin. Can't quite place it...]
