The War Room

DOSSIER #1 PART 2: THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA AS A REFLECTION OF THE NEW LEFT

Too many conservatives get flummoxed and defensive when attacked with words like “Nazi”, “fascist”, “racist”, “Klansmen”, “homophobe” or other vitriolic names. They seek to take the high road; convinced that their left-wing opponents are merely playing lowball. If you understand one thing in my writings, understand this and understand it clearly- they mean it.

As we will demonstrate in The War Room on a regular basis, The New Left equates all that the average Canadian stands for (democracy, free markets, family, free speech, freedom of religion, the nation state, empirical morality and truth) with evil. Far from seeing the world with a more nuanced or grey view, The New Left has the most black and white view of all. They confuse liberalism (a good thing) with leftism. The reasons for this are indeed cultural and go back to the counter culture of the 60’s where the left, fed up with traditional infrastructures of human society (politicians, religion, military, family) instead became inspired by the arts and emotion and individual morality and sexuality, allowing any semblance of rational or logical thinking to be thrown to the wayside. They became influenced by the leftist politics of individuals like Che Guevera, Mao and even Joseph Stalin (who slaughtered millions and whom Guevera admired immensely). The writings of Derrida and Foucault also contributed to The New Left’s world view of relative morality. In other words…if it made them feel good, it was worth doing. Responsibility to others was not a factor.

Nevertheless, because many went on to become people of high influence in academia (as a way to avoid the drafts of the 60’s-70’s), they confuse this illogical, agit-prop politico thinking with intelligence. Indeed, given my own experiences in university 10 years ago, attacking The New Left’s empire and stranglehold on higher education will be a recurrent theme here at The War Room. David Horowitz is a former self described ‘communist’ and a modern conservative who fully realizes this. We recommend his writings whole heartedly. Most Canadians do not have any idea what their children are being taught nor what the ideological beliefs of most journalists, artists and academics are. Given my own experiences with members of all three groups, The War Room will seek to enlighten them.

Sadly, The New Left’s animosity and contempt (that is being kind) for Roman Catholicism and Evangelicals is also very real. We are now seeing this emerge in a very real way in Canada. Seeing personal relative egoism and hedonism as the height of human accomplishment, and with no belief in an outer empirical God philosophically, The New Left believes that the Orthodox Christian religions that have defined the West for the past 2000 years as oppressing and enslaving mankind from his true goals and see this as responsible for many if not all of history’s pain and suffering causing wars, famines and racism, misogyny and homophobia.

The War Room will demonstrate the hypocrisy in this line of thinking to show how it is indeed The New Left which currently employs edicts of racism and misogyny to get what it wants while completely negating the horrors of parts of the world where The New Left’s prejudices are not fed (China, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba).

Finally, how does this relate to the Canadian political scene. It will ultimately be the obligation of the War Room to dispel the myth that the Liberal Party of Canada is a centrist political party any more. In a true democracy the center party is the party which aligns itself most accurately with the overall will of the majority of the population. The Liberal Party of Canada has been increasingly moving further to the left throughout the past decade with accompaniment from the media machines of many in the mainstream Canadian media (CTV, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail) and especially through its own literal propaganda arm, the CBC. As someone who voted Liberal in his first election, it is important to note, this has happened gradually but deliberately. During the past 3 years and finally with Paul Martin’s embrace of both The New Left fiscal and social platform of the NDP, it is safe to say the Liberal Party of Canada is now a Party that represents the most extreme views of The New Left. Now there are some Classical Liberals left in the Liberal Party (Dan McTeague for example) but these people have virtually no power or say over the party and their influence will only wane more in the coming years.

This blog, while not a member or beholden to any party, clearly endorses the Conservative Party of Canada under Stephen Harper. In the opinion of The War Room he is decent, honest and hardworking. Many of his detractors say he is not a natural politician like Jack Layton or Paul Martin. The War Room says good. That means he’s more like you and me.
