The American connections of rebublicans, demagogues, evangelicals and shrill losers were manna from heaven & divine guidance to distorted political freaks like Harper Kenney Clement Baird Giorno.. Of course Harper et al were simply blathering re Canadian Values... <br /><br />Politics Money Big Oil Power - bad medicine .. whisky .. smallpox blankets .. dead buffalo .. the indian schools .. shrinking reservations .. broken treaties .. lies .. more lies .. toxins in the waters .. dying species .. liars in high places .. <br /><br />Every time I see Ted Cruz ..

Anyone reading Burke today will immediately see how far the Right has strayed from anything recognizably conservative. Neoconservatism, in the wake of the Iraq fiasco, has crawled back underneath its rock but it has not gone away. It is still promoting its xenophobic and bellicose mantra. I saw that in William Kristol's appearance on Bill Maher's show last Friday. They're furious that Trump and his mob have made such inroads into the GOP because it has displaced their own preferred variety of corporate extremism. One bunch of radicals rarely likes another.<br /><br />Mona Ambrose looks increasingly pathetic as she tries to keep the CPC boat afloat. This is a time when both NDP and CPC need to re-invent themselves but neither seems capable of any genuine restoration. There's no vision at the very moment when that is most needed.<br /><br />Harper was a devil who exploited wedge politics to an extreme. He knew that he could combine his base with another segment of the voting public manipulated by anger, fear and a touch of paranoia and could not just govern but could actually rule. We're at a point where we'll pay dearly if we fail to restore cohesion and support for a common purpose to Canadian society and yet Harper's incendiaries are still going off.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-85923322185279107162016-03-16T11:51:11.199-04:002016-03-16T11:51:11.199-04:00Some of the conservatives I know believed that the...Some of the conservatives I know believed that the Harperites were not conservatives, lungta.
