He has worked hard to ingratiate himself with the right-wing Jewish lobby, and I'm sure he was treated like a king.

You can always send you kid to de tox and get them a good shrink. That carton is so funny. <br /><br />Being a right wing nut job, can't be undone. <br /><br />Being BGLT, if that is what god decided the kid should be, so what? It's normal. <br />Don't care what the kid is as long as the kid remembers the parent on mother's/father's day; the hallmark card occasions. <br /><br />In some families, back in the day, it was O.K. to bring all sorts of people home with you, just not some one from the right winger parties. <br /><br />People from the far religious right had a plan and when Harper was elected it was kicked into play. Slowly but surley. it was almost like the frog in the pot of boiling water. But Canadians figured it out and got rid of him, but Stevie will remain part of this group, because they don't give up. They will simply bide their time and start over again. That is why its important not to forget your history. In Canada's case it is about the time we almost lost the country to an religious zealot.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4659360183797658002016-04-14T17:45:21.350-04:002016-04-14T17:45:21.350-04:00According to the columnist in the Star, David Mamu...According to the columnist in the Star, David Mamur (sp?) he is a Christian Zionist who have a number of whacky beliefs among which may be the idea "Some Christian Zionists believe that the gathering of the Jews in Israel is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus."<br /><br />My feeling is that right-wing Israelis encourage them while trying not to break into loud laughter.<br /><br />jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43090128521488107982016-04-14T16:33:46.313-04:002016-04-14T16:33:46.313-04:00Or also too because "they" really like h...Or also too because "they" really like having a stupid goy around they can make think that he actually matters to them and then insult to his face in yiddish and the poor dumb shit doesn't even know it!

I'm absolutely over the top, bat shit crazy ecstatic that we annihilated "The Thing" that nearly destroyed our great country(that would be a great graphic Simon. Harper emerging from a tar pond with a half eaten duck hanging from his mouth). <br />And then, in his typical cowardly fashion, he's been near invisible ever since, choosing to hide and pout in his office with his favorite teddy bear Ray. If Harper truly cared for this country and his constituents he'd be front and centre in Question Period but he isn't. Speaks volumes.<br />This week must be incredibly therapeutic for him as he gets to rub elbows with his ilk. The xenophobes, the homophobes, the dividers, the cheats, the crooks, the Tea Party Elites as it were. I bet he's as giddy as a schoolgirl at a Barbie convention.<br />They say a man can be judged by the company he keeps and it is so true. Harper sees his reflection in each and every one of these Tea Party Elites and that's a telling testament to just how despicable he is.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-38522022046744417832016-04-14T08:43:29.332-04:002016-04-14T08:43:29.332-04:00Meeting sounds like a night mare.
