1. Leftdog..there is no need to furthur assist the left in piling over buffalo jump,they have been on that path for years,and are approaching the edge of that precipice without much need of assistance…will the greens pick over your bones when you have finally plunged into the abyss?

2. “WHEREAS Cuba’s socialized economy, extensive social equity achievements, and quality social services ensure that human needs are put first, in stark contrast to rapacious global capitalism;”
   Sounds like Paradise. If Layton and co. ever win government, I may just move to Cuba, same policies, milder climate.

3. Cut’nrun NDP policy? ????
   …… on the attack
   Canada should pull out of Afghanistan unless mission clarified, he says …
   … Says Harper has made the same mistakes as Bush accused of in Iraq
   …. said last night ….. by calling for Canada to pull out of the war in Afghanistan outright unless NATO changes the mission.
   “Somebody has to pull the plug on this grand illusion that is not working,” …. told a meeting of ….. .. at Ryerson University.
   “We should leave Afghanistan if we can’t get a mandate that does honour and respect to the people of Afghanistan and to our troops.”
   He said that by focusing solely on military objectives and ignoring development, “Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper is making the same mistakes the Bush administration made in Iraq and it will lead to long-term failure.”

   There is something very wrong with a worldview that is based in ideology and the complete exclusion of facts.
   But then again your typically hysterical response it completely consistent within the leftosphere.
   As far as your reccomendation for professional assistance, I partially agree. Of course I’m not speaking of the various moonbat versions as in primal screaming or getting your aura cleared or even rebirthing.
   Nope, what you and your ilk need is a little reality therapy. Unfortunately for you this course of treatment in no way involves pillows or the post weep latte.
   If you’re interested I’de be happy to recommend a reality treatment practitioner to help you along in your journey of self discovery.

6. The NDP wants to do great things; they just need all our capitalist-generated money to do it. They don’t mind if we make it, just as long as they get to spend it. In fact, they pretty much need us to make it for them.
   They don’t mind if we abort all our children, just as long as we abort boys and girls in equal numbers.
   And, to support same-sex equality, they are willing to trash the historical definition of marriage and support the notion that a child can have two men or two women as its legal parents on its certificate of live birth.
   There’s currently a court case working its way through the system where a lesbian mother wants to add her partner as one of the child’s parents, legally giving the child three parents (two mothers and a dad). The NDP will likely support this. And why not? Once the male-female procreation thing is dispensed with, there is no necessary reason why marriage should be restricted to two persons, or why a child’s parents should be limited to two.
   Cruelly, though, the NDP’s ears remain deaf to the call to end the bigotry, prejudice, hate and small-minded mean-spiritedness towards another marginalized and oppressed sexual minority — those who are attracted to the under fourteen crowd and who have the same right to equality under the beloved Charter as everyone else.
   Someone in the NDP should propose a motion guaranteeing the equality of all sexual orientations, and not just those that are state-approved or favoured by society.
   Otherwise, the sexual equality guarantees contained in the Charter aren’t worth the paper they weren’t written on.

7. I can’t really see what the fuss is about. So the NDP have some ideas that may or may not make it into their platform. At least they have ideas. What I find quite funny are the Liberals. Aren’t they in the middle of a leadership campaign that will define the party going into the next election? What happened to all those “ideas candidates”? No leadership candidate has come up with a new idea or made a firm stance on any issue (except maybe Ignatieff on Afghanistan). And unlike Layton, one of those clowns could be our next PM.

9. Tommy Douglas the founder of this party was a dupe. I don’t care if the citizen’s of Canada voted him greatest Canadian. Merge the Liberals and the NDP then submerge them into the politcal ocean of sunken idealogical vessels.

10. Jack and his band of misfits should be placed on Canada’s terrorist list. Their policies are so outdated as to not make sense or have any reality to the world we live in today. They want the return of the 1950’s. Sorry Jack its long gone and you are going to have to adopt policies for the 21st century. What a sorry bunch. What will Jack and Alexa do when George Bush is no longer president. They won’t be able to accuse Harper of being a Bush wantabe. Maybe they will just insert the next President’s name.

11. Uhmmm..lookout, lemmings don’t run off cliffs. That’s just another stupid myth, like athropological global warming.
    As far as those nutty resolutions are concerned, the NDP always have lots of them before a convention, but during the proceedings, saner heads prevail, and none of the extreme ones make it. But I think that’s only because they don’t want the voters to know what they’re really like. Talk about a hidden agenda!
    As for the Lieberals, they are not leftists. They actually have no ideology (unlike NDP or Conservatives) and only believe that they should rule. They will use whatever they can to attain that goal, and for a couple decades now, they have determined that the best chance to get elected is to be leftist. They will adjust their policies and/or do whatever it takes, and they care not a bit what harm it will do to the economy or the country (think Kyoto).

12. Uhmmm..dirtman, lemmings do run off cliffs. The myth is that they commit suicide … they have very poor sight and follow their buds over the ledge.
    Either way, they are just as dead.

13. The New Dipstick Party. Pronounce any resolve complaint or promise with no fear of having to do anything due to no chance of getting elected. =TG

14. “WHEREAS Cuba’s socialized economy, extensive social equity achievements, and quality social services ensure that human needs are put first, in stark contrast to rapacious global capitalism;”
    http://therealcuba.com/Page10.htm Check out some of the pictures of their grat hospitals. A guy at work actually praised Cuba for it’s socialised medicine once. I hadn’t seen this site yet, wish I had.

15. Bob H. stated that “Tommy Douglas the founder of this party was a dupe. I don’t care if the citizen’s of Canada voted him greatest Canadian.”
    The only reason “the citizens of Canada” voted Tommy Douglas as “the greatest Canadian,” is because it was a contest sponsored by the CBC. Given that only about 5% of Canadians watch CBC television, I am suspecting that this title “greatest Canadian” is bogus, like Douglas himself and like the CBC. ‘Nothing to see here, folks, keep moving.

16. Your attention please, class. Today we will talk about media bias. Take any of the proposed NDP ideas and substitute the word Conservative anywhere NDP is used. Any proposal, it doesn’t matter. Now let’s see how long before Peter Mansbridge uses it for the leading story on the National.
    It could be funny if it were not true.

17. “How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” Ronald Reagan.
    We keep referring to the NDP as the left. They are communists, pure and simple. Totalitarianism is always lurking just below the surface.

18. If the NDP were to be driven off a cliff, where do you reckon those votes would go?
    Keep tarring them if you like.

19. Until such time as the progressive revolution for social justice achieves global domination, countries where the communists do take power must be isolationist. That’s why that NDP nonsense has an overall theme of withdrawl – from free trade and foreign military activity, and close relations with free, capitalist, democratic countries like the US and Israel. To succeed (as they define “success”) they have to isolate Canada, create an artificial economy, and transform human nature by re-education and iron-fisted control of the citizen’s lives. No mystery in their thinking, to understand it all you have to do is study the Soviet experiment and compare that economic and social reality with the “lipstick on a pig” dogma that enabled it.

20. “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.”~ Winston Churchill
    I suppose I had no heart. I Didn’t have the heart to support abortion on demand. I also didn’t have the heart to support saddling future generations with debt.

21. This is for the NDP appeasers:
    The West, having cut itself off from its own spiritual heritage and traded it for crass, relativistic materialism, is in an altogether weakened state spiritually, morally, intellectually, and even physically–note our high rates of obesity. The West is in state of denial, which seems much like what was happening in 1938. (Winston Churchill had sounded the alarm for some time and was very unpopular because of it. Of course, in the end, he was proven right.)
    During WW II, there was still enough figurative $ in the “moral capital bank”, bequeathed to us through the Judeo-Christian culture, which also gave us Magna Carta (rule of law), etc., that, when people finally realized the truth–such a concept was still in vogue–they willingly fought “for King and country” to defeat an evil and deadly foe. The cry today from far too many in our entiltled populace is much more likely to be “Hell no, we won’t go!”
    The West is seriously deluded because it pursues utopian fantasy over truth. (In fact, post-modernism–a pox on it–denies that there is such a thing as truth.) We in the materially prosperous West are spiritual paupers, so busy “entertaining ourselves to death” that we refuse to face up to the hard choices we need to make because we realize that they will exact serious sacrifice and hardship. The only problem is: NOT facing up to the hard choices we need to make will result in FAR GREATER sacrifice and hardship. (Like little kids, we wish to avoid the dentist because it hurts: of course, the longer we postpone going to the dentist, the more it hurts.) Realists and grownups–imperfect as they are–understand the necessity of sacrifice and privation. Collectively, the West seems to be in complete denial about this.
    Like it or not, the war has already been joined–by the enemy. We’re going to fight this war over there or on a street near you. Here. In Canada. I’m not making this up.
    Churchill, Britain’s great wartime leader cautioned another generation of appeasement-bent pacifists: “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
    I think we’re at about this stage: “[Y]ou may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.” But, with deference to Churchill, there’s a case worse than his worst. That is, refusing to fight and becoming slaves, because that’s surely what will happen to the West if we sit, like so many ducks in a row, waiting to be mowed down or enslaved. Then death or dhimmitude will, ironically, be our fate–a fate we were too darn busy “being entitled to our entiltements” to fight. That’s much worse than Churchill’s worst case scenario because his shows courage plus bravery = HONOUR. My worst case scenario–true, I believe, for the demoralized West in 2006–shows cowardice and appeasement, which equal DISHONOUR. (As there seems to be no sense of shame these days, only old fogeys like me seem to worry about such a thing as dishonour.) If that’s all we have to offer, we’ll deserve what we get.
    PMSH is one of the grownups. Let’s pray that Canadians wake up from their “Sleeping Ugly” stupor and support him in our participation in the coalition of the willing. If we don’t, see above.

    “I suppose I had no heart. I Didn’t have the heart to support abortion on demand. I also didn’t have the heart to support saddling future generations with debt”
    I posted this comment because the main theme of the qoute is more about how left-wing ideology fits well with the idealism of youth. As we accumulate more experience and years, our worldview often changes, and shifts more toward the conservative. The fact that you didn’t endulge in Liberal idealism as a young man, doesn’t mean you had no heart, it simply means you were beyond your years, as it were ;). I know that personaly I had more sympathy for liberal ideology as a youth than I do now, having graduated from the Ontario public school system, one can hardly blame me.

23. The only reason “the citizens of Canada” voted Tommy Douglas as “the greatest Canadian,” is because …
    The “citizens of Canada” were made up in large part by SGEU members.

24. “WHEREAS the corporate agenda is a serious threat to social programmes; the environment, human and labour rights, and the goals of democratic socialism,
    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the New Democratic Party undertake to explore the means to effect the abrogation and withdrawal of Canada from NAFTA, FTA, GATS, and the WTO…”

    Hey Jackie boy. Since you put forth this poposal don’t forget the disbanding of the Autopact as well. Good bye to your CAW support if that happens. Oh ya I forgot, You don’t have CAW support anymore . LOL LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

25. Lest We Forget
    From Albert Speer’s book “Spandau: The Secret Diaries”, a chronicle of his 20 years imprisonment for war crimes, Speer quotes Hitler (page 84) on Hitler’s position regarding onwers and the ownership of corporate securities (publicly held shares);
    “They bring in high earnings without work. One of these days I’ll sweep away this outrage and nationalize all corprations. For compensation I’ll issue share certificates with a low rate of interest.”
    Abject failures all think alike. The NDP is on the course of self-destruction and for that I am grateful.

26. Sometimes I just sit in quiet, and feel a cold gripping fear at the fact that these people actually get elected, and represent canadians in parliament…and that I know people who are more scared of harper than of layton.

27. Why is this comment so hard hitting?

    This seems to be a bald truth. I have heard the same observation by two who have escaped the iron curtain.. first person opinion from those who lived it. = TG

28. Ouote: Uhmmm..dirtman, lemmings do run off cliffs. The myth is that they commit suicide … they have very poor sight and follow their buds over the ledge. End Quote.
    Lemmings have fast population growth followed by population crashes. The “run off cliff” idea was originally to explain the crash. It was popularized by Disney who captured a lot of lemmings and forced them off a cliff and filmed it as evidence. They do not run off cliffs.
    And I thought it was George Bernard Shaw who said: “If you aren’t a socialist when you’re 20 you don’t have a heart. If you’re still a socialist when you’re 40 you don’t have a brain.”
    I’m embarrassed to admit, but I was a socialist at 20. But not by 40. Guess I have both.

29. You tories are sure paranoid. The NDP only hurts crooked buisnesses which your party backs. They would get rid of organized crime that’s for sure and all the crooked politicians and others would be prosecuted.

30. The only good Tory is a defeated one,in shame,locked up and oh ya……..born again. You people are nuttier than a fruit cake. Who the hell votes for you???

31. Communism that works?? The Hutterites. And don’t bother to argue otherwise because that just shows you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. You’re just drawing straws. More RCMP,More guns for border guards(So now they will be shot at),A muzzeled caucus,Giving our poor youthful soldiers a pep talk so they are more willing to die for USA causes!!?? 10 year old kids in adult court? And you have to ask why Tommy Douglas was so loved and admired?? Give your head a shake.You’re a party of fruitcakes!! All nuts!!! You’re all phoney shallow people who think god is on your side. Give him or her more credit than that.
