I was one of the few to break from the pack, and rise to his defense when David Emerson crossed the floor.
I stood fast in my support during the “Harper is a cold parent”, “Harper is fat”, and “Harper wears frumpy vests” controversies.
I did not waver during the barring-the-media-from-CFB-Trenton crisis.
I have been as steadfast and reliable a defender of Stephen Harper as a dyed-in-the-wool partisan could hope for.
But no more. The news that a contingent of Celebrity Activists®, Gulfstream socialists, and legacy-challenged politicians are in Toronto to attend the most important photo-op* on the planet – and that my Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen – is simply too much.
This is not the behavior Canadians have come to expect – and deserve – of their Prime Ministers. Not at all.
Maybe PMSH does not do the self-masturbatory euphoria thing very well?
Or maybe he has talked recently with the President of South Africa Thabo Mbeki who has told Steve – there is no such thing as aids.
Or maybe PMSH has decided that if the President of South Africa can’t give a tinker’s damn about aids in his country – why should he waste the time?
“it’s avoidable..”
“Actually it’s not if you are a woman in Africa , the males do pretty much as they please and they don’t ware condoms.”
As a caller to Rutherford pointed out the other day, microbocides or vaccinations, will blow AIDS sky high because these same people will think these are the ‘cure’ and won’t bother with protection at all.

Manto gets a new Merc
18/08/2006 08:20 – (SA)
Nicolize Mulder , Beeld
Johannesburg – A new luxury gold-coloured Mercedes Benz S500, with a special seat for short people, is waiting in the show room of a Gauteng car dealer for its new owner – Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
The car, at a cost of about R1m, is apparently the right medicine for the Health Minister, who regularly faces severe criticism about her Aids cures.
Beeld has been told confidentially that the car will probably be delivered as soon as the minister returns from the 16th international Aids conference taking place in Canada.
The thirsty Mercedes with a 5,5 litre V8 petrol engine retails at R895 000, but informed sources say the minister has requested additional items costing R40 000, including electronically adjustable seats.
Tshabalala-Msimang has apparently also asked for an infra-red camera in the car’s bonnet that can be activated at night to show a view of a road beyond the reach of the headlights.
….makes one think…. good for you Mr Harper!
Here we have Bill Clinton, this paragon of virtue, in the limelight and on stage at the AIDS conference in Toronto making personal promises in a fight against the world AIDS epidemic.
It is insulting to Canadians and others for him to think we are so sheltered and doltish that we are unaware of his promiscuous sex life style and his disdain for safe sex in his personal life – what a role model for this AIDS conference to trot on stage – can Boy George be far behind.
Clinton should began his work in earnest by searching out all closets in Washington, Arkansaw and other cities in the USA where is semen is contaminating many a lady’s fine wardrobe.
I was going to ask him “Is this to much to ask of him” but then I realized he would engage me in some grammatical gymnastics and tell me depending on what my definition of the word ‘is’ is.
I am wondering where he hid when the conference discussed the important and devastating role promiscuous sex plays in the spread of AIDS.
Is it any wonder that Stephen Harper was loathe to share the stage with such hypocrites and charlatans?
Shameful how Tony Clement was booed while lighting a candle for hemophiliacs who received tainted blood. These people have absolutely no class.
Oh, and the next shindig, er, conference will be in Mexico in 2008.
I really wonder what was accomplished at this event. And how much did it cost the Canadian taxpayer?
A really good reason your PM stayed away from this conference!
Bill’s ‘no-brainer’
Former President Bill Clinton has sided with activists who say legalized prostitution can help prevent the spread of the AIDS virus.
An international AIDS conference in Toronto this week was attended by “sex workers from 21 countries,” Joseph Hall of the Canadian Press reports.
“Recognizing prostitution as legitimate legal work, in both criminal law and labor codes, is a key step to stamping out HIV and other diseases among sex workers and the broader population,” researchers at the conference said.
However, the Bush administration — as part of its efforts to fight international sex-slavery trafficking — has banned AIDS funding to organizations that don’t officially oppose prostitution. And that’s wrong, Mr. Clinton told the conference.
“I wish they would just amend the law and say, ‘We disapprove of prostitution, but here’s the money — go save lives,'” the former president said Tuesday.
Prostitutes “are people, too,” Mr. Clinton said, “and they deserve the chance to be empowered to save their lives. To me it’s a no-brainer.”
According to a May 16 letter sent to Rep. Scott Garrett, New Jersey Republican, by the Department of Health and Human Services, HHS spent $315,000 to send 78 employees to the Toronto conference.
This snip from CP, aka Communist Press says it all:
What was the true agenda of this “conference”?
World socialism; world governance. The code words are: “social change”. The AIDS is a cover for the world-wide socialist movement. You see, the social change is “needed”.
The other words “world governments” is a plural; by “stepping up to the plate” (cliche) in unison, as one, the real hope/plan is singular, i.e., World Government.
The “final plea” is an echo of the “Final Solution”; the answer to the “Jewish Problem”; the answer to the “AIDS Problem” is more funding; more of your $$$$$. The robbers of socialism would rob you of your $$$$ to advance its agenda.

Final plea made for AIDS funding
TORONTO (CP) – World governments were exhorted Friday to step up to the plate and make good on funding promises and the social change needed …-
Beel Cleenton said, “Prostitutes are people, too, and they deserve the chance to be empowered to save their lives. To me it’s a no-brainer.”
Did I hear Bill say he was a no-brainer?
‘Smarter guy than I thought…and humble too.
Isn’t it ironic that Canadian MSM would be fawning over Clinton at a Canadian Aids rally.
While he was Governor of Arkansas he approved the sale of tainted blood from Arkansas prisons to be sold to foreign countries, Canada included.
Canadian hemophiliacs deadly gift, (as well as irresponsible Canadian blood wholesalers and Canadian Red Cross) courtesy of Bill Clinton.
Hypocrite bastard!
As an aside, wouldn’t it be incumbent on Health Minister Tony Clement , when he announces Canada’s contribution to aids control, to advise Canadians that the aids virus is after all essentially a personal lifestyle acquired affliction?
