you see... I have been trying to tell you in several posts that there are policies from all of the Harper, Liberal, and Layton camps that I may like, and policies from each of these camps that I may dislike. But you keep insisting on this "socialists" tag as if every "left wing" policy proposal is going to resurrect Marx, Lenin and Stalin all at once.
Why do you feel socialist is a bad word? I don't bitch about being called a conservative.
The Liberals age-of-consent legislation is certainly open to debate, but it is hardly the pedophile magnet that you imply.
I didn't imply a damn thing. I just pointed out that your argument about Harper being like Bush can also be used the other way and that these style arguments that you try and use do nothing but fearmonger.
Bush would not criticize Israel, Harper would not criticize Israel.
For what? Lebanon clearly attacked first. What is there to criticize? If some guy walks up to another guy in the bar and sucker punches him then proceeds to get his ass kicked would you criticize the guy who got sucker punched?
Bush cut taxes which economists disagreed with, Harper cut the GST which economists disagreed with.
These broad statements once again do not prove anything. "economists disagreed with" there we're also economists that agreed with it. Political groups can always find an "expert" who belives in their cause or is willing to further their agenda for the right price.
Bush is not in favor of gay marriage, Harper is not in favour of gay marriage.
Bush and Harper both breath oxygen too OMG stop the presses. Has Harper said that he will put an end to gay marriage? No he has said that he would like to leave it to a free vote. Bush hasn't offered up that kind of liberal thinking. Harper doesn't personally like it and that is fine. That is his right. He is hardly strong arming anyone to have gay marriage banned. If the majority feel that gay marriage should stand then everything will be fine.
Whitmore had sex with children; Not in your wildest fantasies can you convince yourself that the Liberals, as a matter of policy, favour adult sex with children.
Is a 14 year old a child or an adult? Does the law as the Liberals left it allow for a 30 year old man to have sex with a 14 year old girl? They may not favor it but they don't do what they can to stop it either. Ahhh but mabe sex with kids is a civil liberty that needs protecting.
And I did not say "he is just like Bush". I pointed out just 3 issues on which he has shown to be so.
So he's not like Bush but he appears to be so? I don't get it.
The fearmongering shitpot is not the exclusive domain of the left, as exemplified by your pedophile implication above.
Nice to see your allowed to fearmonger as long as no one else does.
Who keeps throwing around the "socialist" tag at every opportunity?
Like I just said why do you feel socialist is a bad word?
Who keeps telling me that the terrorists are going to get me,
Not me
Who keeps telling me we are not tough enough on crime
So I guess we got crime beat. Tell that to the Miller family and the many others who are violated by repeat sex offenders.
Although StatCan tells me crime has been steadily declining and is the lowest it has been in years?
Why do Liberals....er....I mean sociali......er nevermind......
Why do some people who arn't conservatives (there is that better, no hurt feelings there) Feel that stats canada is the gospel. Statistics can be manipulated and interpreted a number of ways. If statistics show that 40% of fatal car wrecks are caused by drunk drivers then 60% of fatal car wrecks are caused by sober drivers. Obviously that statistic is bogus when interpreted that way but it just goes to show that statistics are not gospel.
One statistic that I think is worth looking at is 100% of violent criminals who are left in jail for the rest of their lives do not reoffend. When rehab centers can quote those kind of numbers then you can talk to me about releasing these people.
Leave 'em in jail and put 'em on a chain gang.
