This week it goes to all the liberals of Canada who glibly, indignantly, and even in the face of the massive and multi-faceted Liberal Party scandal and ongoing criminal investigations by the national police and despite the proven in-party corruption the scope of which this country had never before known in its history, and despite that hellacious criminal case being far from over, chose to vote for the Liberal Party in the last election notwithstanding all of that. Claiming that that party represented their “values”. That’s just funny on so many levels.
…Then, at the earliest possible opportunity, they, together with their media counterparts, chose to feign righteous indignation and moral outrage and to mock the new Conservative leadership —on the ironic and hysterical basis that because the new Prime Minister managed to do what they themselves did before—convince one of the Liberals’ own “star candidates” (one which they parachuted into the Vancouver riding where the Liberals had no chance otherwise) to switch sides and work for the party he was more in tune with anyway as a matter of principle. And as a result they then claim that the Conservatives are “only maybe quite a bit better in some ways, sort of” than themselves. That was their best argument. “not nearly as corrupt as us, and under no criminal investigations, and the subject of no commissions of inquiry, but not like freaking angels from Heaven either”. You know, that old argument.
…And to then cry foul when the Conservatives appointed an unelected human to cabinet by appointing him to the Senate, which is of course how Senators become Senators in an unelected body in this country until many years from now when things are rightly changed, as the Conservatives have promised, and an elected Senate is finally established someday.
…And of course the Liberals had themselves appointed hacks for many decades to the extent that the Senate is now a horrendously out-of-wack, biased, massively unbalanced and totally unfair institution dominated by Liberal Party hacks and conservative-haters like Larry Campbell who calls conservatives “barbarians”. They did this to the extent that they thought it would be perfectly fine for Canada’s Upper House to resemble a one-party state not unlike the governments of third-world dictatorships. And they pretend that until the Senate is an elected body, it should just remain that way because Stephen Harper is in favor of an elected Senate.
Oh, and then their favorite buzz-word for the Conservatives though all of this: “hypocrits”. That’s the clincher.
Congratulations.
