Are you calling me a Neo-Can? Now that makes me proud!

"You know, as good as Rabble.ca is..." Ok, fer sure, you're being subtly facetious, right? LOL! The one saving grace for this bunch is to remind us how tipped over some of these intellectual dyslexics are. Still, it helps to keep them in view. You never know when, but you always know they will stick their finger in a light socket eventually, more than once even.

Oooh. Neo-Can. I like the sound of that.

Can we get a 'Secret Neo-Can' handshake, decoder rings and a way cool clubhouse?

Can we?

Can we huh?

Spread the meme.

Does this mean we are all part of a Great Right Wing Canspiracy?

Do we get t-shirts?

No Filibuster, No Re-Election for Blue State Senators
OpEdNews.com ^ | 1/30/06 | Rob Kall

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:14:01 PM PST by LdSentinal

I'll keep this short and bitter. Every god damned blue state senator who failed to sign on to the Alito filibuster MUST be fought in the primaries and replaced. The Democratic party has failed the rank and file members. >>
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1568335/posts

It is time to take back the Democratic party from the right wing, loser hacks who have been fumblingly, failingly controlling it and the candidates put forward. I can't believe how many people tell me that they believe the DLC and right wing democrats are really Republican operators.

IN the OpEdNews.com/Zogby people's poll I just ran in Pennsylvania, about 29% of the respondents were liberals or progressives. With 51 percent of the respondents being democrats, that means that 58% of the democrats are liberal or Progressive. We ARE the majority.

If a stab-us-in-the-back senator in a blue state failed to suppor the filibuster we MUST find strong, tough candidates to run against and BEAT them. We must raise money for candidates, even if they are not running in our states.

We, the Progressives and liberals must define the issues. We must tell our elected officials what to do. This was the last straw. We need to draw up a list of these traitors to democracy and take them out of the political arena. I bet they'll end up on some corporation's payroll.

We need leaders who will go to congress and not be cowed by the seniority system. They represent constitituents who are just as important as the senior members. So F**K the seniority system. F**k Barack Obama for selling out the people who put their trust in him.

Here's the list of the "Democratic" senators who betrayed us.

Akaka (HI), Baucus (MT), Bingaman (NM), Byrd (WV), Cantwell (WA), Carper (DE), Dorgan (ND), Inouye (HI), Johnson (SD), Kohl (WI), Landrieu (LA), Lieberman (CT), Lincoln (AR), Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Pryor (AR), Rockefeller (WV), Salazar (CO)

Ad Bob Fertik, of Democrats.com, said, "There was no reason for this betrayal. We only needed 40 of the 45 Democrats to sustain a filibuster."

Some of them hail from solid Red states. We can't blame them. But the ones from blue states and purple states should be treated like wanted criminals and removed from their positions of trust and power. It's not having people who call themselves democrats when they fail us when it matters most. These lowly cowards should have treated this fight like a war and supported the filibuster even if it meant taking an election bullet. I believe the action would have gained them votes. It would have forced Bush to submit a candidate who would actually be good for the US, unlike the unworthy liar he's appointed.

I would say that we are now in a state of war, but the right wing has been at war with the american people for a long time. Today, we learned of the traitors in our midst. We know what to do with traitors. And we need to act fast. >>>

"Rethuglican" is a good one too. I read far too many blogs and that's the first time I've heard that one.

Maz,

It would be funny if it weren't so darkly disturbing. I'm reading Horowitz's "Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left" right now, and it amazes me that any free societies have so far managed to survive the Left's relentless lust for destruction.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

After all the posts I made in support of Harper, I think that as an American Republican I qualifier as being a Harper neo-con.

With the Democratic Party coming unglued, many of us right-wingers are thinking about moving to Canada where under a Harper government, a conservative can be respected.

Fully in agreement, Greg. And not only that, but Harper is actually a conservative as opposed to George "Where's my veto pen?" Bush.
Harper definitely rocks.

"Rethuglican"...I'm loving that too.

And here's how the "far" left really feels:

http://www.communist-party.ca/

.....Even though the Tories fell far short of the outright victory they had sought, there should be no underestimation of the harm that could result under a Harper minority government. The challenge now for the labour, peace, equity and social justice movements will be to strengthen mass extra-parliamentary resistance to prevent the Tories from implementing their reactionary agenda, and to bring down the government at the earliest opportunity.

...... They cynically misrepresented their positions on Medicare, education, Canada-US relations and many other issues to obscure and conceal their reactionary, pro-war agenda. For the most part, they managed to gag their more imprudent, red-neck backbenchers from spewing racist, anti-women, and Christian fundamentalist diatribes.

........The overall political situation coming out of this election will be marked by a great deal of volatility, with significant dangers from the Right. The labour and people's movements will be challenged more than ever to mobilize outside of Parliament to oppose right-wing efforts to gut Medicare, education, pensions an other social programs and services, to attack labour and democratic rights, and to align Canada even more closely with U.S. imperialism.

.....The Communist Party and its members will be called upon to redouble our efforts to build the broadest possible resistance to the Tory/corporate agenda, to blunt and defeat its offensive, and send the Tories packing

Kate, In case you missed this reply on a previous reference to Kos:

I'm surprised that you would be disparaging Kos. Whether you like it or not, the Canadian right and American left blogosphere are really kindred spirits. You and Angry are the Kos and Atrios of Canada. All of you play an important role in making like-minded people aware of the failures, excesses and arrogance of power in the other party that aren't properly documented in the MSM. (The American right blogosphere tries to do that too, but it doesn't quite work when Democrats aren't in power, and you'll have that same problem soon.) What sets people like you apart from most of us sensible types is that we want the dirt on everybody, and you folks will try to minimize anything that puts your side - the right or left party - in an unfavorable light. (I will bet you a doughnut that the first time there's a hint of scandal in the Harper government, you'll be trying to minimize it.) I can read you, and read Kos, and I'll see exactly the same words but with the names changed. So both of you are necessary in the search for truth. Don't be hatin'.

Actually the disintegration and melt down of the Democratic Party is a worrisome event for many Americans. We need a strong and active party in opposition to check the party in power and keep the system in balance. A lot of the excess and corruption in the Republican Party is a direct response to the Democrat's internal battles. Nobody's minding the store and we're locked in immovable stasis.

In a two party system the main battles should take place in the center. I really don't care if the left and right moonbats have no political homes. But, centrist Republicans and libertarians have had no real influence since the late 60's. And, moderate centrist Democrat's are now watching the children and crazy Aunt Maude set the drapes on fire because the kids can't smoke dope in their bedrooms and Maude worries about getting knocked up again and being unable to kill the fetus. She has these problems with responsible behavior.(Yeah, I know it's hyperbole, but you get the point.)

The Republican's have conservatism which is rapidly getting perverted while the Democrats suffer from the unsolvable problem of having most of their beliefs and positions being unworkable and ultimately indefensible.

Right now the best scenario is for the Democrat's blow their brains out so that the sane, moderate remnants of their party and the disenfranchised elements of the Republican Party can join them and begin to move the system again.

About the worst thing you Canadian's will have to deal with is some of our whacked out moonbats making a a run for the border. Turn 'em back because they should be forced to sleep in the bed they messed in and every one of them would vote NDP if given the chance.

Neo Can sounds like beer; "Ahhh, give me a sixer of that Neo Can beer."

Jeez, Jaymeister, grow a spine; join the other chordates.

"we really do have to get off our rear ends and get KosKanada launched -"

I've perused the comments at dailykos and find them to be very rude. They use the most intemperate and vulgar language.
Very un-Canadian.
I don't really think that the Canadian Left could ever approach their levels of vileness.

Without our help!

Neo Can beer! LOL! With that kind of name, it has to be a Pilsner. 6% no less! No faggy Judy Garland 'lite' beers for me!

Bush's ratings dropped when he tried to appeal to the mushy middle by appointing his lawyer to SCOTUS (among other things). Hopefully Harper does not fall into the same trap of alienating his base while reaching out to the big city voter.

I don't think we should be encouraging anybody to get sick on their own vapours. This Rovian divide-and-conquer might win elections but elections are *not* the whole story, or even a minute fraction...

I have the proud distinction of being "banned" from Rabble.ca not once, but twice. I had the audicity to enter their sanctuary and challenge them to a debate of ideals. I'm glad to know that democracy is alive and well with our socialist friends at Rabble.

D W:

Not "democracy" but "social democracy"!

There's a fundamental - and fateful - difference between democracy with a qualifying adjective and democracy without one.

Democracy is of no interest to true lefties.

Social engineering or comment moderation. What's the diff?? The left feels a need to stifle speech and eventually thought if they can swing it. Lefty blogsites are only a reflection of their larger agenda, if it isn't PC it can't be.

Syncro

Hooray! I'm not the only one to be banned at rabble.ca
I used to enjoy popping-in to that site from time to time. Found it to be a leftist echo chamber. It's tiring to see so much energy put into so much mindless ignorance.
So I slagged the buggers and got banned.
Made my day!

Whoa, Kate! Turn on CBC Radio (like we all do here in the Maritimes). Michael Colton just told us that President Bush remains "low in the polls" and, for that reason, has crafted tonight's "State of the Union" address as a campaign style speech aimed at shoring up this sagging support. That's the problem with you bloggers: always confusing us with facts.

"we really do have to get off our rear ends and get KosKanada launched -"

and the youth wing
KosKanadaKids - the KKK

That's okay, DW & Briann. I was twice banned at Free Republic. It felt good.

Liberals. They seem to be melting down all over the place, like figures in a wax museum.

koskanada brewers of of neo-can strong beer!!!

Vox: I think the secret signal of neo-cans would be sharing belly button lint.

I've never watched C.in.C but I will miss making fun of it's *fantastic* TV spots. Davis always looks so stunned. Maybe the show would've done better if they could've convinced Tom Hanks to do a cameo where he teaches Geena how to throw like a man. lol

Commentary

It's tempting to think the omission of national security from both the New York Times and Rahm Emmanuel's presentation is no coincidence. Defense has become the third rail of liberal politics. Touch it and you die. At a time when headlines are dominated by the Iranian nuclear weapons crisis, Hamas' election to Palestinian Authority leadership and a clamor to punish Danish cartoonists for daring to depict Mohammed, it has become imperative to studiously ignore the front page and go straight to the funnies. National defense on the Democratic platform has assumed the status of a black actor in a 1940s movie. It has become the Invisible Man.

There's no percentage in talking about national defense. Attempts to produce a war fighting strategy in the manner of Joseph Lieberman will bring the Kos gang in against you. But taking an explicitly antiwar position is unlikely to play well either, at least with the electorate, as the excerpt above suggests. The only alternative is to deny the existence of any sort of war, except maybe in the fevered imagination of the President; and that if one is discovered to be in progress, it will always be possible to feign surprise and declare the "Democrats will not play second fiddle."

But anyone looking for straight talk will have to go far to find it. In the State of the Union speech, America remains at war with a faceless collection of tyrants and terrorists, who despite their indubitable existence, persistently escape being categorically named. But we are given hints.

And one of the main sources of reaction and opposition is radical Islam -- the perversion by a few of a noble faith into an ideology of terror and death. ...

Tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran. ...

America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternative energy sources -- and we are on the threshold of incredible advances.

It's a ghastly charade game in which the viewers are invited to guess the right answers after watching the mime. Neither Rahm Emmanuel or President Bush can bring themselves to articulate what they must suspect. Maybe Ralph Peters has the right insight: the answers are not spoken because no one can think them. Like a rationalist confronted with a demon in whom he does not believe and yet with which he is manifestly grappling -- the elites fight -- against that whose name they have forgotten. Peters talks about why it is impossible to recognize our adversary.

The angry gods are back. .... A paradox of our time is that the overwhelmingly secular global media--a collection of natural-born religion-haters--have become the crucial accomplices of the suicide bomber fueled by rabid faith. Mass murderers are lionized as freedom fighters, while our own troops are attacked by the press they protect for the least waywardness or error. ... One of the most consistently disheartening experiences an adult can have today is to listen to the endless attempts by our intellectuals and intelligence professionals to explain religious terrorism in clinical terms, assigning rational motives to men who have moved irrevocably beyond reason.

We suffer under layers of intellectual asymmetries that hinder us from an intuitive recognition of our enemies. ... Despite the horrors we have witnessed, we have yet to take religious terrorists seriously on their own self-evident terms. We invaded a succession of their tormented countries, but haven't come close to penetrating their souls. ... Security-wise, we have placed our faith in things, in bright (and expensive) material objects. ....Again, our intelligentsia falls woefully short. The most secularized element of our society--educated to avoid faith (or, at the very least, to shun enthusiastic, vigorous, proud, and public faith)--our professional thinkers have lost any sense of a literal paradise beyond the grave. But our enemies enjoy a faith as vivid as did our ancestors, for whom devils lurked in the undergrowth and paradise was an idealized representation of that which mortals knew. We are taught that we should never underestimate our enemies--yet, we underestimate the power of his faith, his most potent weapon.

Read up neocans. Neo-Candefence: Kudos to General Hillier, from The Rock, bye. >>>

Military spending has plummeted so low, it has reduced Canada to a nation of "freeloaders" no other country in the world takes seriously, warns Colin Kenny, chairman of the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence."

"We're the eighth richest country in the world and in NATO, the only two countries that spend less per capita are Luxembourg and Iceland, and Iceland does not have an armed forces," Kenny told me in an interview one year ago today.

The senator might be a Liberal, but he has warned for years of the acute need for new equipment and trained troops in this troubled world. ...

"The security and safety of the nation is the first obligation of the government," he said."

The Liberals took out $20 billion and only "promised" to put back $13 billion over the next 5 years and expected Canadians to believe that was an "increase".

Maz2, The americans voted in a pro-life president so its not suprising that he's appointing a pro-lifer to the supreme court. He has to adhere to the "You've got to dance with the people who brung you" rule of politics.

If Roe vs Wade does eventually get overturned (and I think it will) then I suspect the republicans will lose the centre. Republican strategists are well aware of this and they've been trying to avoid this scenario for years (see Harriet Miers)

Marvellous patriotism.

Jose, re posting to Iranians. Which copy/paste message are you referring to?

(Credit/links are given to the authors/websites/bloggers & etc. as is their due. Limited IT knowledge is sometimes a blesssing/ignorance can be bliss.OTOH, the learning curve is steep; eg. Linux is from Peanuts, wrong? Charlie? Ratts.)

Sorry I'm only getting here now, but -- Busharper Rethuglican Neo-Cans? Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! I think we have a winner!

Especially since you all (unless anyone got to vote in T'tuk) didn't get to actually be "40-below conservatives"!

Welcome, officially, to the VWRC! Karl will be sending your briefing papers shortly.

You guys sure are afraid of Rabble huh? The fact that your side (the so-called "Compassionate Conservatives") are happy that Bush's approval ratings are up speaks volumes about the moral bankrupsy in the 'right' movement. You may shrill louder, you may continue to hammer away and spread right wing talking points, but the average Canadian does not share your love for all things Bush. Thank God for the left, someone has to be the voice of reason. Just because you right wing pundits have more exposure (and who said the press was 'liberal'), doesn't mean you're winning. Just simply means you can buy off more people, and thus have more avenues to spread the propaganda.

True Canadians! Hahahahahahaha. I'm sorry but if you honestly believe your views are representive of the majority, you really need to get a grip on some reality and pull your head out of Rush Limbaugh's ass.

Just saying.
