THEO CALDWELL: THE RIGHT WING AVI LEWIS
I'll have more to say about Sun News later...but wowza.
Theo Caldwell is everything I am not. A smug, rich, UCC educated caricature of a pundit who has not earned his views but inherited them through his lineage.
Is there something I am missing about this little right wing punk?
Everything nasty in the left that made me go right is in lil' Theo. He makes me root for the left.
That's not easy to do.
IF PARLIAMENT ONLY MET ONCE A YEAR FOR A FEW DAYS, WOULD THAT BE DEMOCRATIC?
According to
Canadian Parliamentary Law, our constitution only requires that Parliament meet at least once a year. That session can in theory last as little as a few days.
That is law. It is the "rule" as Mr. Ignatieff would say.
Tell me, if Parliament only met once a year, for only a few days, would that be democratic?
IGGY TALK OF TAKE OVER IS NOT GIFT; IT IS A CALCULATED MOVE
Make no mistake. Ignatieff and Bob Rae both speaking of a Liberal take over of Parliament in the event of a Conservative minority is not a gift or a gaffe. It is a well calculated move.
It will be downplayed by the media and if Harper gets a minority they will then be able to say they did not hide their cards. They will then spin that the public voted as a monolith and did not want a Harper majority.
They know this. They know it will not be widely or repeatedly (and that makes a difference) reported.
But remember, there is a world of difference between following the word of the law and then having that reflect democracy.
These men confuse Marxism with democracy and democracy with fascism, hence Ignatieff's childish but dangerous "Rise Up" rant. Make no mistake, when progressives call conservatives, Nazis or Fascists...they mean it. His Mao reference was not a mistake. It was a real reference to this child's world view. They are unhinged. Irrational and illogical. The children of the baby boomers who believe up is down, down is up, black is white and white is black.
Beware...things are about to get very dirty. And yes, those Liberal phone calls were probably done by the party members themself.
