London Free Press reporter informs us in story: Harper is “abandoning the national economy”.

Get a load of this, well, load, found in the London Free Press, and note the last paragraph is not a quote but rather it’s “information” provided by the reporter (named Norman De Bono, of Sun Media):

Last week, Harper also said no to a $30-million assistance package to save a Ford engine plant in Windsor.

“It is a terrible mistake, what Mr. Harper is doing. We will not do it as a Liberal government,” Dion said.

Harper’s “free-market” philosophy for business and investment is also abandoning the national economy as it is threatened with being dragged down by the economic slowdown in the U.S.

Just in case you missed it, that’s an instruction from the liberal media to you regarding how you should think.  It is not a quote from some socialist or communist that the reporter is interviewing.  (I love the scare-quotes around the word “free-market”—as if it’s some unproven, freaky, extremist, neo-con thing.) 

I stumbled on it (spewed a little, regurgitated a bit of my coffee, then chuckled) while reading the story as sent to me by PTBC reader Marc, who sent it because the rest of the story reeked to him of Liberal Party hypocrisy and spoke to their abject socialist leanings.  He’s right.

Leader of the Liberal Party, the Liberal Frenchman Stephane Dion says in the story, “The private sector will do the job, but the government must be (a) partner.”

Dion and all liberals believe nobody—nothing, no citizen, no families, no parents, no company, no organization, no nothing—can do anything without the direct help of the benevolent state, usually with big wads of cash.  Women can’t get elected without his personal aid and that of The Party and the state.  Minorities are equal insofar as their ineptitude, and can’t do anything on their own without state programs and agencies and group hugs; and private companies can’t survive in that crappy right-wing American-style “free market capitalism” that we suffer from, which has so failed to make America the richest, most prosperous, most free, most powerful, most attractive nation that the world has ever known. 

“Tax cuts are not enough—you need to do targeted investments,” said Dion. 

Luckily for you all, I have a fairly good understanding of both English and Communist.  “Investments”, as used by the likes of leftists like Dion, means state funding and the buying-up of bits of private industry; private companies; private property; in order to make everyone and every company reliant, to one degree or another, on the state; and to maintain a reason to tax the bajeezus out of you (rinse, and repeat). 

Apparently Dion put down Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto just long enough to make an ass of himself this weekend.  Unfortunately The Communist Manifesto is a very short book. 

Sun Media should “abandon” their reporter and the paper’s editor, or else confess its left-wing bias right up front
