Slightly random thoughts:
I already awarded our should-be-famous ProudToBeCanadian Quote of the Week Award this week, so I can’t do it again because I’m pretty sure that would be a violation of one stupid United Nations resolution or another, and I don’t want to break what the liberals call “International Law” and thus join Bush and Harper in la bastille.
The award was for Prime Minister Harper’s excellent quote, which came on the heels of a column I wrote about the ridiculous war-related polls and the equally absurd reporting about them by liberals in the liberal media, for liberals.
The award-winning quote was:
“I’m not here because of the polls.
I’m here because it’s the right thing to do.”
I wrote that that should be the official motto of our national mission in Afghanistan. I might also add, “…and shut up, dumb-ass pollsters”.
But then I learned today in an Ottawa Citizen story that he said this when speaking to the troops:
“Thank you for proving to Canadians – and to people around the world – that when Canada makes a commitment, Canada follows through.”
THAT should also be a motto—not just for Canada, but for the Conservative Party (replace “Canada” with “CPC”). In neither case is it too late.
Next thought:
I also wrote in that blog entry—and provided actual quotes from the media reporting proving how the liberal media was but a division of the liberal-left in Canada in their coverage of the Harper trip. The media sounded exactly like the opposition inasmuch as they were reciting nearly perfectly the liberal-left’s talking points. It was as if the trip Harper took to Afghanistan was nothing more than another one of those millions of cheap photo-ops to deflect opposition criticism at home and to boost opinion polls that Harper takes so very, very often, unlike that ass Paul Martin in, say, Sri Lanka. So when I read this hilarious last line today at the end of that story:
“The Liberals and NDP have criticized Harper’s trip to Afghanistan as nothing more than an elaborate photo-op designed to deflect criticism of his government’s conduct of the mission.”
…you had to know what I was thinking. The “Liberals and the NDP” aren’t the only ones to “criticize Harper’s trip” on that precise basis. In fact they all sound exactly the same. Strange, that, huh?
Final thought for now:
Now that all 468 (and sinking) residents of Manitoba have re-elected an NDP government for the third time, I’m going to go ahead and conjoin them with Saskatchewan and dub them both with what I hitherto reserved just for Saskatchewan: “A li’l bit of the old Soviet Union right here in Canada”. I believe Wal Mart still has a bigger economy than each of those provinces, (I’ve actually proven that before), and has better health care and better, warmer year-round working climates. And they’re non-union.
Actual final thought for now:
I loved this picture of our proud Prime Minister, and I admit it’s partially because I can’t help trying to imagine that arse Layton—or Paul Martin—or Liberal Frenchman Dion —going to the front lines of a real fighting war, and wearing same:
Canadian Conservative Prime Minister Harper:
Not a liberal girlie man.

This was even better than my imagination could have drummed-up—it’s part of a poster made by someone at the good Western Standard magazine (I cropped it up):
