Wildrose offers a home for any religion including fundamentalist Christians. Anyone who believes in a literal reading of the Bible understands that the preacher is merely trying to save wayward souls. A literal reading of the Bible isn't kind to queers.
All the other parties line up to tell conservative Christians how unwelcome they are. There are a lot of Chistians in Alberta who believe in a literal Bible. Wildrose now owns them.
The wonderful thing about an election is that if you are concerned about someone's religion you can be a bigot and reject them for their beliefs.
Why is Raj Sherman coming across as such a racist intolerant pig? He's a doctor you know? All his former Tory caucus buddies wrote him off as a lunatic. He's a doctor you know? Now he states he would never allow a fundamentalist Christian in the Liberal Party. Did I mention that Raj is a doctor?
#1. LOL - Well at least Kinsella’s talking from experience "“kick the idiots/extremists out. “ well in a weird if not a very awkward position for most.
#2. Get it?
They not only try to trash the Pastor for his personal beliefs they hypocritically attack WRP member Ron Leech for speaking to the Punjab community as a white supremacist:
"I believe when I come to our community here I am
very concerned that the Punjabi community have not been esteemed, lifted up. When a Punjabi leader speaks for the Punjabi, the Punjabi are
listening but when a Caucasian speaks on their behalf everybody is listening." - CTV Calgary
They conveniently forget to highlight that within Mr. Leech’s comment he clearly stated - “...I come to our community here I am very concerned that the Punjabi community have not been esteemed, lifted up.”
Obviously a clear indication that his comments were meant as positive support of the Punjabi community, regardless of the malicious spin doctors on the left.
In fact it has always been a leftist Liberal Progressive stand that “White Caucasians have a distinct advantage over visible minorities in western society”. This is the platform the Liberal Left uses to justify Affirmative Action. They attack him for speaking their own core beliefs. LOL.
Are they now seriously saying that Affirmative Action for minorities is no longer required?
The comment section on WK's website seems very one sided. Just the usual tails that are used to wagging the dog. They seem desperate and worried that Wildrose might win. That is a good thing. Some of the wingnuts are even threatning to move to BC. That is also a good thing. As one of the knuckle dragging mouth breathing rednecks I can only say one thing. Go Wildrose, and bring the Province back to the people.
I was chatting with a prominent WR member about all the racism crap that's being tossed around. The conversation went off the rails pretty quickly. By that I mean that we wound up talking about how cool we thought The Coz, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Irshad Manji, and Tina Turner are instead of the original bitch session we were working ourselves up for.
The PCs planned this intolerance gambit long ago, and the sad thing is, it works to some degree.
They have the muzzles extra-tight on their own religious loose cannons...our PC candidate Dave Dorward didn't even show up to the all-candidates forum this week, they sent some party flak in his place. I suspect they have made sure Mr. Dorward is bound and gagged in some basement someplace, while the PCs play the religion card. You don't see the news media reporting on that.
Warren is the type of "expert" a political organization has to rely on as a last resort.
After that they got nothing.
Hopefully the liberals keep him on until they cease to exist.
I think Albertans pretty much look at conservative Christians with a ho hum attitude. We know they are not racists etc. We do find Liberal slugs like Kinsella offensive. What happened to smart guy Kinsella's Liberal Party? You don't hear much from them anymore. The old Reform Party has run Canada for the last 6 years and the next 4 years. Obviously Canadians don't value Kinsella's bigoted opinions all that much.
The Liberals were handed their a$$es in the last 3 elections running on the scary Conservative platform. Next time they might want to try policies.
You'd think that after decades of chasing parked cars, thereupon doing faceplants into the rear bumpers that Warren would stop and have a wee gander before he spouts off.... naw, he'll never change..
The question that really matters is not how many vote, nor who they vote for. The ONLY question that matters is who COUNTS the votes. Do you have any better control of that up in the Great White North than we do here SOUTH of the Border?
As usual, the left hasn't figured out that libertarian means being free to do, be and what you want so long as you don't tread on others. Kind of a confusing concept for bigoted, racist, mouth breathing, closed minded bastards though. Yup, they are what they portray us as.
We employ people to count the votes. No machines are used. I simply don't trust them. Edmonton used to use them for municipal elections years ago.
A voting place might have 10 or more polls, each consisting of 2 people. Before they go home, they have to count the ballots in their boxes. Because the count is done by so many different people, the chance of stealing an election is rare. If the vote in a constituency is close it is recounted.
I find it very heartening that Warnout Kantsellya is so irate about this Wild Rose party, and can't seem to shut up about what a bunch of wingnuts/racists/bigot/homophobes they are.
That means its pretty much in the bag for Danielle Smith.
By the way, for all you proles out there who have trouble keeping the family flivver together for that hated trip to work Monday morning, Warnout is up at The Cottage this weekend.
Yes friends, The Cottage, that traditional Toronto Establishment getaway in Muskoka where the cognoscenti commune with Nature. Boating and games of Scrabble around the fireplace, ah me.
But take heart thou Governed Ones! It is COLD and MISERABLE today down here in Golden Horseshoe Land, so up north in Cottage Country its going to be nearly arctic. Watch out for ice, Warnout.
Sour grapes perhaps, but mildly satisfying nonetheless.
BTW, who the hell leaves gas in their boat over the winter? That is the dumbest thing.
What struck me was the first comment about spending this weekend at the lake with his sons and dogs, ending with a breezy, "Have a good one" for us plebs.
That's the usual with the leftard Liberal$: Stir up the pot, hurl insults at conservatives, then hi tail it outta town to the cottage or the ski cabin, leaving the rest of us to navigate the mess they've left behind on our mean streets.
I wonder how much longer Warren's gonna hang with the libs... I figure at any moment he'll pack up and slither over to work for spider eyes Mulch-air...
I think the idiots from Ontario fail to grasp that the same people who were Progressive-Conservatives are now Wildrose. It really isn't a bunch of newly cloned mutants. The PCs went Commie and it was simply too uncomfortable for most of their members to continue. What is so hard to understand?
I suspect Kinsella and his ilk are now victims of their own "cry wolf" syndrome. Previous Liberal/lefty wild-eyed accusations about Reform, Canadian Alliance, Conservative candidates on closer scrutiny have so frequently turned out to be pure hogwash that most sensible people can't even be bothered to take renewed accusations as anything more than lefty background noise. When coupled with the fact that the msm ignore or play down such things as NDP riding associations debating then voting for resolutions condemning Canadian soldiers as war criminals, the credibility of the left wing media-political complex is in the tank.
The twenty or so people who regularly read Kinsella's blog had their minds rusted shut long ago. His influence is nil.
Scar said: "I think the idiots from Ontario fail to grasp that the same people who were Progressive-Conservatives are now Wildrose."
Ontario is in the middle of doing the same thing Scar. We just had an election here with the worst showing possible by the PCs under Hudak. McGuinty should have been decimated, instead he's got a solid minority and the NDPee gained seats too.
Because why? Because Hudak and company ran the WORST campaign I've ever seen. They are -idiots-, and they are not significantly more conservative than McGuinty's Liberals.
In fact, McGuinty just proposed a more conservative budget than anything I've ever heard out of Hudak. He's denouncing it, of course. Leaving McGuinty the NDP to kowtow to and weaken the proposed budget cuts with the Dipper's patented socialist wankerosity.
What's a Conservative to do? Build a new party or renovate the PCs?
I think we should start something called the Cluebat Of Truth Party, and just go around smacking Liberals and PCs upside the head. Makes more sense than what that fool Hudak is doing.
The most shocking thing in that link is that Richard Evans is a Wildrose candidate. Good God! I know Alberta needs a change, but I sure hope that nutjob isn't included.
Good ole Warren is amply demonstrating the neo-liberal definition of "diversity," which is achieved through uniformity of acceptable opinion (aka political correctness).
Cue Steyn's article the other day about pink shirts.
I hope they do move to BC. Many did after Ralph cut the Dole. He gave them free bus tickets to Vancouver.
Most stayed & got jobs. We went from over 200,000 welfare families to 12, 000 real destitute people. This while the Province was booming. Guess what? Most stayed & got a job. They voted for him next round once they got their self respect back.
Phantom, we sympathize with the people in Ontario. It is time for a major shakeup there, as the only choice you have is dumb, dumber and dumbest.
All the comments this morning are great for a pre-breakfast read. robins111 is on a roll and Warren knows that he is appreciated in a manner of speaking.
I think it's s funny how they are pointing out wr gaffs but mr Mohammed Rasheed of the pc party said that people in my community want to vote for someone like them ....lol. Hypocrisy at its finest. And I dont really care what either person from either party said .
One can't help but be impressed with Danielle Smith and the political courage that she has shown over the campaign. When two of her candidates made the mistake of speaking in a politically incorrect manner, the easiest and safest route for Ms. Smith would have been to throw both miscreants under the bus and go into damage control mode. Yet she steadfastly stood behind both men. Name another politician capable of such conviction and fearlessness.
Danielle Smith also had the audacity to publicly question the mega scam of man-made global warming when most, if not all, politicians would have issued some nonsensical feel-good pronouncement even when they had serious doubts about the whole debacle. Now this takes a good deal of courage especially during an election campaign.
Isn't it about time that this country had some politicians who weren't too timid to speak their minds or to stand behind their teammates when they stray beyond the boundaries of political correctness?
If I remember,Kinsella endorsed the least qualified person who ever ran for president of the USA and the bigots and tax evaders that he brought with him and is now questioning any of Wildroses candidates qualifications? Thats more sad than laughable but says volumes about Warren Kinsella and his beliefs.

No wonder the train got wrecked. The railway station is built backwards! (check sign on the wall)
Hey buddy, you know that's a no-parking zone?
You know it's a trainwreck when Kinsella gets
so worked up.
He epitomises the picture of liberalism: so open minded your brains fall out.
Kate, tch, tch, you should have given us fair warning.
The picture of the train wreck is appropriate for what most of here think will happen to Red fraud on Monday.
Wildrose offers a home for any religion including fundamentalist Christians. Anyone who believes in a literal reading of the Bible understands that the preacher is merely trying to save wayward souls. A literal reading of the Bible isn't kind to queers.

Hey, the obscure website to which you linked, ostensibly managed by a wrinkly old man, is deleting comments.

What a bunch of morons.
I find it entertaining that, after decades of calling Albertans racists, the media is warning Albertans about racists.

All I can say is that I cannot thank Warren enough for how he has helped the LPC. I hope he helps them just that little bit more.
I was going to comment in the form of a poem, but could not make 'Kinsella' rhyme with 'kryptonite'.
I was chatting with a prominent WR member about all the racism crap that's being tossed around. The conversation went off the rails pretty quickly. By that I mean that we wound up talking about how cool we thought The Coz, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Irshad Manji, and Tina Turner are instead of the original bitch session we were working ourselves up for.
Yup, that's us: Total haterz. (snort)

Whatever happened to "disagreeing with what you say, but defending your right to say it"? Quite simply, leftists don't believe in free speech.
It's all emotion to them. A candidate says something hurtful, so he must be purged and silenced. Not enough to disagree with him.
At this point they know they're doomed, so they're desperate for any mud to throw at the party.
And having Kinsella's disapproval is the best endorsement I can think of for Wildrose.
Anyone else see this tweet last night?
"@garybtvnews breaks the news that Kowalski fasttracked transition payments to retiring MLAs in advance of #abvote"
This despite the fact Redford said these payments had been suspended?
Is it another example of our duplicitous Premier being caught in a web of lies?
Once again, nothing in the media this morning.
What struck me was the first comment about spending this weekend at the lake with his sons and dogs, ending with a breezy, "Have a good one" for us plebs.

I think the idiots from Ontario fail to grasp that the same people who were Progressive-Conservatives are now Wildrose. It really isn't a bunch of newly cloned mutants. The PCs went Commie and it was simply too uncomfortable for most of their members to continue. What is so hard to understand?
Kinsellam provides endless entertainment and has done more to kill off the LPC than almost anyone else.
We owe a debt of thanks for his endless whining stupidity in defense of LPC criminality and incompetence.
Thanks Warren, you have been and continue to be amazingly helpful.
Wee-wee Kinsella: patron saint of losers and lost causes. You know you're on the right track when he says you're doingthings wrong.
I think Kinsella had his train wreck moment when he joined the Sun posing as a moderate.
Redford endorsed by Kinsella vs smith endorsed by manning.
'nuff said.
I suspect Kinsella and his ilk are now victims of their own "cry wolf" syndrome. Previous Liberal/lefty wild-eyed accusations about Reform, Canadian Alliance, Conservative candidates on closer scrutiny have so frequently turned out to be pure hogwash that most sensible people can't even be bothered to take renewed accusations as anything more than lefty background noise.
