It all springs from the foul coupling of Father Reagan and Mother Margaret, and although Thatcherism was a total disaster that eventually led to the collapse of the banking system, the Cons keep genuflecting before it like religious fanatics kneel before the bones of dead saints. It's very depressing on a day to day level, but if you look at the big picture, and at the general direction history is taking us, it's far more encouraging. They are the dinosaurs of today, even if they don't know it...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-29617027271167037952013-03-22T04:21:22.793-04:002013-03-22T04:21:22.793-04:00hi anonymous...as you know I don't consider Ha...hi anonymous...as you know I don't consider Harper to be in the same category as Hitler or Stalin. Although he is said to admire the way Stalin ran his party. I consider Harper a small man blinded by his ideology, and made worse by being unable to feel the pain of others. He is a mere blip in Canadian hostory, he will be remembered for nothing, and as soon as he is defeated he will be soon forgotten...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-51948029255782390902013-03-22T04:17:35.867-04:002013-03-22T04:17:35.867-04:00hi thwap...I like everything you say.

As you and I have discussed before that won't be easy, because our nature and our prosperity have made us complacent. We have taken our democracy for granted, too many are not outraged enough by what the Cons have been doing to it. But being complacent isn't as easy when the economy is not doing well, so I still cling to the hope of a great awakening....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-29237670625884126242013-03-22T04:13:41.624-04:002013-03-22T04:13:41.624-04:00hi anonymous...oh great.

Have you no mercy? ;)<br />But seriously, it may be taking forever, but the message is spreading. The cons are not nearly as strong or as teflon coated as they once were. The polls are very encouraging. History is not linear. It goes here and there but eventually the pressure builds up and it blows like a volcano. The Cons are still lording it over us with 31 percent of the vote, but they have feet of clay or tar, and sooner or later they will fall. I intend to write about what we can do to accelerate that process when I have a better idea of how the opposition is faring. But at least I now feel that we have the wind in our sails, so we will arrive at the Promised Land some day...

This is why, Harper's behavior is so bizarre. Even other country's find Harper bizarre. At every meeting of Nations, Harper is the trouble maker every time. Country's are fed up with Harper and his dictating. They can't stand Harper's hissy fits, when he doesn't get his own way.<br /><br />The first thing a Dictator such as Harper does is, to control the media. The last thing a Dictator wants is, Democracy, Civil Rights and Liberties, Freedom of Speech and, Human Rights are to be eroded.<br /><br />Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini all, lied, deceived, thieved, were corrupt, used dirty tactics, dirty politics, threats, were controlling and, all of them cheated to win.

SECOND: appreciate the dangerous precedents that harper is setting and how they eviscerate the very premise of Canadian democracy. THIRD: Come together in large enough numbers, coast-to-coast, and peacefully occupy all Conservative MP's offices until the harper government agrees to resign and face an election fought on the issue of respect for democracy and fought between the harpercons and an opposition united simply to defeat them and hold them accountable and enact proportional representation so that this sort of crap never happens again.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-59097391135938395482013-03-21T05:22:54.798-04:002013-03-21T05:22:54.798-04:00I know Simon, I know.
