Democratic nutjob Howard Dean is continuing to make friends wherever he goes:
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, unapologetic in the face of recent criticism that he has been too tough on his political opposition, said in San Francisco this week that Republicans “all behave the same, and they all look the same. … It’s pretty much a white Christian party.”
“You know, the Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They’re a pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look the same. … It’s pretty much a white Christian party,” the former Vermont governor told a San Francisco roundtable Monday in reaction to a question about the lack of outreach to minority communities by political parties. — SF Gate
How much do you want to bet that Dean keeps a copy of Warren Kinsella’s book Kicking Ass In Canadian Politics on his bedside table? He’s certainly got all of the talking points down…
Angry? (Check!) White? (Check!) Christian/Bible Puncher? (Check!) Mouthbreathers? (Check!) Knuckledraggers? (Check!)
Dean’s approach to politics will look familiar to Canadian Conservatives who have been on the receiving end of the same kind of abuse from the lefties in our country. For all of the left’s talk here in Canada about how ‘different’ we are from the U.S., it just looks like more of the same crap to me.
That’s some difference.
The very slight difference is that it works up here.
Vermont is also, what, the whitest state in the Union? Dean is once again continiuing to prove why he’s every Republican’s favorite Democrat.
I remain hopeful that the Canadian government will realize that the excess population of lefties is destroying many of our ecosystems. They need to start issuing hunting tags so we can harvest them before it’s too late! (Besides, they all use Garnier Fructis so their pelts are worth quite a bit.)
Yes, the irony is delicious. The pot calling the kettle white, so to speak.
If ever a party was marching in lockstep, it is the “party of tolerance”, the poor victims of the VWRC, the dummocrats.
Dean would say: Harper and Grewal belong to the white Christian party.
But wait,…. did not Joe Volpe say that the Conservative party was the KKK party?
Of course, Volpe, Liberal MP, cabinet member for whitey Martin, said that.
Dean/Volpe: clones; left liberal tribunes are the same old, same old, all over the planet.
BTW, believe there is a move within the DNC to oust Dean. Guess, Dean has BSE ( wait; BS is in the Martini cabinet, no?)
As John Lennon would say, “Imagine…”
I grew up in Vermont and was educated there before the PC travesties, rich “gentleman farmer” socialists, proto-Deaniacs, crappy “craftsmen”, goat-herding lesbians, real estate crooks, organic farm Gaia-kissing moonbats, and silver-spoon ambitious leftists from New York City (etc.,etc.)ruined the place. Thank God I had sense enough to head west before it all truly broke my heart. Fight the power, folks – before Canada’s only industry is teddy bears and cheese.
What a stupid message for a political operative to deliver to the majority of people in the United States: the Republicans are out for the interests of white christians, so all you white christians out there, vote Democrat!
Dean is God’s (or Karl Rove’s?) gift to the Republicans. As long as he talks like this, voters are migrating en masse to the Right side of the aisle.

Dear Prime Minister Paul Martin,
Stephen Harper, Leader of Her Majesty�s Loyal Opposition
Gilles Duceppe, Leader of the Bloc Quebecois
Jack Layton, Leader of New Democratic Party
It would appear that the learned Prime Minister Paul Martin is really a Tory in disguise. PM Paul Martin�s conversion to the Tory cause, is reminiscent of his namesake on the road to Damascus. Suddenly, we have Paul Martin the �Peeler� attempting to govern without significant confidence in the House of Parliament. The Prime Minister is doing a fine imitation of his 19th century counterpart PM Robert Peeler; albeit without a significant moral compass for his party.
We will have to do a little better than the equivocating compass of moral relativism, which suggests certain objects only have value when one chooses to place value on them. The offering of patronage from the PMO through use of �plausible deniability� and so called �same sex� marriage debate comes to mind. Now we have the bald faced deal brokering by the Gurmant Grewal tapes, subject to �public deniability� for all to see. I extend my salutations to the government for sinking to a new criminal low; in its efforts to hijack democracy. Moreover, seeing that marriage is a provincial power per S. 92(12) of the Constitution Act 1867 all promises against religious discrimination will be rendered a nullity. Perhaps the Prime Minister would like to consult with Pope Benedict XVI on the nullification of marriage, for he has clearly mislead on the issue of constitutional responsibilities. Are we the public to assume that there is no moral objectivity outside of oneself, save the lowest common denominator as expressed by the government?
To wit, one only need note the performance of Belinda Stronach newly minted Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. Belinda has single-handedly reinvigorated the 19th century �Bed-Chamber Crisis� by creating one of her own. Given that Ms. Stronach has yet to finish her degree; it would seem that she has some skills development to work on herself. As a starting point, if I may be so bold to suggest, be a little less strident in the placement of those stiletto Gucci heels, as they clearly have the capacity to cause significant pain. Please choose a better epitaph than the �Ministry of Silly Walks�. An alternate interpretation, is to suggest we have government by the corporation, for the corporation; the hidden hand of federal politics.
Next we have the proposed legalization of marajuana. Of course I am delighted to contemplate that the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces may be �higher than a kite� as he decides whether we go to war or not. Given that our previous Prime Minister Jean Chretien has suggested he would be the first to light up after legalization gives me pause to wonder about the quality of advice given in the PMO. To contemplate a stoned Prime Minister involved in Ballistic Missile Defence�.. �Oh lets press the launch button!� Well thank God Almighty we have avoided this certain disaster given my previous writings on the BMD subject. We hardly need discover new and inventive ways in which to incinerate ourselves.
Further paralleling PM Robert Peel, the Irish Potatoe famine has as its corollary the crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Repeal of the Corn Laws is hardly the prescription of the past. Surely to God we are not, as part of the international community, going to let the planting season pass only to leave an estimated 2 million displaced to simply starve. This will only serve to add insult to the 180,000 lives already lost to blatant bloody mindedness. Our commitment as a nation, to the security of persons and human life, at home and abroad, has to be more significant than to suggest to Almighty God: �Return to Sender�. While welcome, it will take more than underwriting funding for the African Union mission; some significant on the ground troop strength through the United Nations or other force combination has to make its way there in very short order. Using the existing African Union force to integrate new peacekeepers might be the place to start. 2700 soldiers spread out over a nation the size of France is not going to do the trick. The alternative is to add Sudan to the humanitarian disasters of Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, etc. If the western world nations don�t make a concerted effort in this regard, we are no better than the so called despot regimes we so often decry, for we have become in Burke�s words mere bystanders. Or to use the Irish phrase, we don�t �give a tinker�s damn�. Given that Prime Minister Paul Martin has visited Darfur himself; he is no doubt aware of the grave consequences of not acting. It is quite one thing to condemn verbally a despotic regime; it is quite another to ignore the egregious errors this same regime manifestly commits. It means precious little to appeal to God for guidance in one�s throne speeches, when we studiously ignore our God given intelligence to provide solutions. One needs no Divine miracle, when the correct solution is to give governments a good collective kick in the backside to do it�s duty. Through systematic under funding of the military, a fact the Prime Minister himself has admitted to, we have created the inability to respond over the past decade. We as a nation should be loading planes of peacekeepers now; before it is too late. We quite simply need to place �boots on the ground�, before the planting season window of opportunity irrevocably closes.
No man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours, are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
The Constitution Act 1867 suggests that per s.91 that the House of Parliament has the power to make laws in respect of �Peace, Order and Good Government�. One might reasonably make the case we have been delivered unto �War, Chaos and Bad Government�.
Most recently we have had non-confidence motions passed which suggested that due to the lack of progress with Liberal Party and governmental corruption that �� the government should resign.� This was subsequently reaffirmed in 3 motions to adjourn the House. What part of the statement �get ye gone� does the government have such great difficulty in understanding?
Evidently, we are rewriting Westminster Parliamentary tradition; now to be replaced by the dictum �Government will enjoy the Queen�s pleasure to govern; so long as it is politically convenient to delay, through whatever means necessary legal or not, until suitable defections are secured, from members of Her Majesty�s Loyal Opposition�. Ostensibly, this new precedent will be extended into the future by months and years. I congratulate the government on overthrowing Parliamentary convention, not to mention laws against bribery, and replacing it with, in the words of historian Michael Bliss, �proto-tyranny�. The current Liberal Party, as practiced, has crossed the democratic version of the river Styx. Welcome to Hades, ladies and gentlemen, the temperature should be rising shortly.
Indeed, now we have president Chirac suggesting he will resist the democratic will of the people, in the event they vote �No�, in a referendum on the European Constitution. How far will this poison to democracy spread? So this is democracy, only accepted when it accords with the will of the elite?
Moreover, we have the following announcement made on May 25th, 2005: The federal Liberals would consider ignoring a House of Commons defeat should they lose any of the several coming votes that are matters of confidence between now and the end of the spring session, Chief Government Whip Karen Redman says. !!! We won�t be taking any lessons from the Parliamentary pedants who inhabit the government benches.
The aforementioned statement in effect suggests that we will inaugurate a period of �taxation without representation�. I congratulate the Chief Government Whip for renewing and modernizing the 1837 Rebellion. Perhaps we should be loading our muskets with ball and shot right about now; given the government has departed the democratic mortal coil.
I gather we now have the rationale for the ill reputed gun registry.
Ms. Redman�s statement has to number among the most inflammatory and incendiary since the demagogues mounted the Bema on the Pynx, Acropolis.
But an attempt to turn the right of election into such a farce and mockery as a fictitious fine and recovery, will, I hope, have another fate; because the laws which give it are infinitely dear to us, and the evasion is infinitely contemptible.
�. I see no other way for the preservation of a decent attention to public interest in the Representatives, but THE INTERPOSITION OF THE BODY OF THE PEOPLE ITSELF, whenever it shall appear, by some flagrant and notorious act, by some capital innovation, that these Representatives are going to over-leap the fences of the law, and to introduce an arbitrary power. This interposition is a most unpleasant remedy. But, if it be a legal remedy, it is intended on some occasion to be used; to be used then only, when it is evident that nothing else can hold the Constitution to its true principles. Edmund Burke, THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT DISCONTENTS
This government has passed on! This government is no more! This government has ceased to be! This government is expired and gone to meet its maker! This government is a stiff. This government is bereft of life, this government rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed the government to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies! The government�s metabolic processes are now history! The government is off the twig! The government has kicked the bucket, the government has shuffled off it�s mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisibile!! This government has had its lot, it is no longer, it is expired, it has departed. THIS IS AN EX-GOVERNMENT!! (With apologies to Monty Python�s parrot sketch.)
Auguring the potential establishment of a dictatorship, per the residual power of the crown per S. 91(29) Constitution Act 1867 to suspend all Charter Rights per S.33 of the Constitution Act 1982 is hardly in keeping with the Westminster Parliamentary tradition. As the Queen and public might be want to say: �WE are not amused.�
To paraphrase one Globe and Mail editorial: The government would spit in the face of the Queen, Parliament and the people and call it respect.
Edmund Burke might make this observation: “Those who have been once intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, can never willingly abandon it.”
Some Internet bloggers, have even gone so far as to suggest: �Where is Guy Fawkes when you really need him?�
Perhaps a more apt description of our government is �Rump Parliament� harking back to Oliver Cromwell. The only difference being that now one must adhere to a corrupted secular rather than religious orthodoxy.
My family has over the course of five generations variously survived the machinations of Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Erich Honnecker. We will be taking no more lessons in despotism and blind stupidity, as we have completed our historical tour of duty. We have greater self respect than mere cannon fodder of ages past and have the medals to prove it.
Well if the unlearned government has passed into the self-styled role of the Philistines of Parliament; we will simply have to declare ourselves �freemen and freewomen� of Canada. So government now proposes taxation without representation; or rather simply theft of democracy itself. By the Chief Government Whip�s own statement to defy future confidence votes, we have become a stolen nation. But seeing as the government has been doing this on the sponsorship file it comes as no surprise. Quite frankly, you can take this proposition straight to Hell.
So let me recap my family�s experience of government under the Liberal Party rule:
1. They failed to provide funding for adequate health services for my mother, and required notice of supervised neglect before accepting her as a patient. (Year 2000)
2. The government through the offices of Canada Revenue Agency, has suggested by logical inference, that I kill my son to secure the Disability Tax Credit. (Year 2003) To date I still await an apology for CRA�s venture into criminality. Further CRA has again failed to approve the DTC for my son Nicolaas notwithstanding the recommendations 2.5 of the Technical Advisory Committee on Tax Measures for Persons with Disabilities and a $9-22.5 Billion spending spree to secure a �cats claws in the wooden panelling� margin in the House. (2005)
3. The government has allowed systematic corruption of the electoral process in my home province Quebec;
bringing the spectre of the break up of the country, due to its fundamental inability to believe in a balanced federalism. (1994 � 2002) It has further tainted its authority by circumventing a free and fair electoral process.
4. The government has demonstrated that it was willing to entertain assisted suicide through offices of the
Attorney General demonstrating it�s general low regard for the security of the person and or human life.
(Fall 2004)
5. The government has failed to pursue a substantive �boots on the ground� effort to avert a 2 million person
human disaster in Darfur, Sudan. We have about two weeks to cobble something together, before it all just slips away. Planting season is not coming back. Despite my pleading back on December 10, 2004 and the urging of numerous others, such as David Kilgour MP to name but one, we have failed to adequately redress the appalling conditions present. Indeed, UN Secretrary General Kofi Annan has described conditions as �heart wrenching�. While funding is welcome, the time to act is now.
6. The government now proposes further undemocratic behaviour, with respect to further confidence votes
under cutting the notion of democracy itself; advancing in effect the proposition of taxation without representation. So much for the promise of correcting the democratic deficit; it would appear to have rather significantly increased to the point of disenfranchisement.
7. The government through the office of the PMO has perniciously pursued patronage appointments in consideration of abstentions on the May 19th, 2005 confidence vote.
When the government comes to its senses please let me know. I await your considered reply.
One regrettably has to come to the conclusion, that we have been led by rogues and fools.
“You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately… Depart, I say;
and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!” Oliver Cromwell

Liberals surge ahead in the polls; Tories trail NDP in Ontario.

Dean would be right at home with the NDP. Heck, if he’s worried so much about it down there, I’m sure Layton could find him something.

=================================
It’s not that simple Doug. Americans have better developed channels of focus to relay wishes to head office.
Canadians, me included, feel that we are so strongly individual and independant, we just hate to group together on a single bandwagon. We are frustrated, not spineless.
We could get things done in Ottawa if we could focus on one priority more effectively.
Jay Leno’s fun with questions in the streets may make Americans look less than astute. Having lived in Texas and California, I can assure you that you are correct when you suspect Americans are generally as well informed as Canadians.
And notice also, that Americans have humour, something we Canadian’s could improve on.
Americans have resourcefullness too. Some of the answers to Lenno’s questions show good analytical process when the topic is totally unknown. That’s what makes them so funny.
No real difference. As usual the friction between us is Corporate based, Government based. Can’t generalize. 73s TonyGuitar

Look. This is a comments section, not a goddamned book. STOP cutting and pasting lengthy letters, articles, and quotes.
Dear Kate,
I extend my humble apologies for my excess verbiage and incessant running at the mouth about the ill mannered Philistines who attempt to make salubrious announcements concerning my temerity to hold opinions contrary to the wooly heads holding the citizens in contemptuous disregard notwithstanding their voluminous and legitimate litany of complaints copiously explained to the dunderheads spouting off in the public press who lack any other substantive venue to vent their spleen.
I remain succinctly yours,
