Obam...It's a nightmarish scenario, salamander.<br /><br />Obama is no knight in shining armor.But at least he puts his faith in reason.<br /><br />The problem is that the people who are presently in charge believe that faith trumps reason.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-33032997007259770692012-10-09T09:41:31.291-04:002012-10-09T09:41:31.291-04:00A timely reminder re 'disguise of substance...A timely reminder re 'disguise of substance', 'reason is the enemy' etc .. Gregg's essay was refreshingly blunt and accurate. I read the Star article this morning as well as the 'comments' .. Thank you for the link.<br /><br />We ended up with Stephen Harper here in Canada. We also have ended up with the dull, brutish, dogma & ideology he and his followers find necessary to appear intelligent, reasonable, honest.. or competent. Harper uses constant obstruction, secrecy, legal disregard, legal loopholes, and majority power of legislation to fend off reason, truth or accountability. In essence, he now is saying he is not only above the law.. he is the law. <br /><br />To the south we see Romney attempting to win an election and accompanying 'power' with the same negative attributes, strategies, including vote suppression and pathological deceit and lying.<br /><br />I'm not really sure who I fear more... a single man such as Stephen Harper or Mitt Romney .. or the ignorant political animals, hacks and partisan horde and government lawyers & partisan bureaucrats that put the muscle and meanness and malignancy to work.<br /><br />I think about similar shallow but smart, ethically bankrupt people like Jason Kenney or Peter Mackay.. or a Newt Gingrich in the USA getting into power as PM or President.. what a frightening and dangerous nightmare.the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
