Think Tommy In Drag

Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 42 Comments
There’s a reason Shirley Douglas made her living reading other people’s scripts;

“That puts us back to one of the most dreaded words in the English language — the means test.”

One thing I do like about Shirley – when she’s
done telling mouselanders how to vote, she wastes no time getting back to Toronto.
(from a previous
visit to SK)

Flashback – Heh. “He’s dead by the way”

  1. “We’ve heard it all before. There’s nothing new here and we’ve seen from bitter experience what can result.”
    You said it Lorne, not me.

  3. Shirley was in town for the opening of Tommy Douglas Collegiate?
    I wonder what the discount for a diploma from there’s going to be…
    Will they make the study of Tommy’s master’s thesis a requirement?

  5. I got so carried away with Calvert’s rhetorical malapropism that I forgot about the substance of the post entirely…
    … which reminded me of a few other words (or should I say word) which usually either strike fear or cause hilarity amongst users of the English language: people who’ve performed in “Flash Gordon.”

    Isn’t that what the lefties typically do? By the time you’ve figured out what they’ve said (assuming it made any sense in the first place) they’re onto another “talking point” just to keep everyone confused. It’s classic obfuscation and misdirection.
    Not very conducive to actual problem-solving, is it?

  8. I wonder when Shirley’s going to apologize to Madeline Albright for playing the former Sec. in the ABC movie based on “The Looming Tower”?
    Is Shirley “helping out” the NDP an act of pennance?

  9. So, is she like Jack
    Bauer’s mother or something? Is this why we should care about anything she says?
    I wonder if Britney will get her kids back?
    Hey look something shiny.

  10. The important thing is, did she make another appearance on “Corner Gas”? These are the burning Ms. Douglas questions of the day.

  11. Shirley and her spawn, Kiefer are squandering all Tommy’s sincerity and credibility they’ve been riding on all these years.
    Shirlee is so bloody full of herself, she’s almost too pompous for the Dipper brand she was born to but no doubt still useful for photo-ops with Jacko.

  12. “public-private entity called Enterprise Saskatchewan to serve as the province’s central economic development agency.”
    The concept of government and corporations in business together is uniquely fascist economics…they really are open about this aren’t they…I suppose they feel that their socialist public school dumbing down indoctrinations have produced a public oblivious to the stark political realities of junta-like regimes.

  13. Well, let’s look at her from a different angle. Her son is going to jail. Her father is exposed as an elitist who wanted to kill off the “lesser” types. Her wonderful Soviet Union exists no more. Yet, she still can get oohs and awws from the dipper crowd. Geez, they are desperate for heroes, are they not? I mean, really, what has that old cow done for this country, except prop up tired old ideas on socialism. Head out to pasture granny, no-one cares what you have to say.

  14. Speaking of the great Tommy, if Lincoln was the Great Emancipator for freeing the slaves, shouldn’t we be calling Tommy the Great Castrater for wanting to free the sub-normals from their naughty bits?
    Maybe we should have a plaque at Eugenics High or perhaps a statue of some kind?

  16. “That puts us back to one of the most dreaded words in the English language — the means test.”
    Isn’t the school Shirley’s cutting the ribbon for all full of these means tests? Or are there no grades at Eugenics High?
    In the true fashion of an old communist, not having a means test on anything actually means everyone should be entitled to everything.
    Where’s my welfare supplement and my residential school payment?

  17. What, no slavery reparations Greek? Come on man, get with the program! If you’re going to get on the gubmint teat, make the most of it and get an electric milking machine. They’re paying the hydro bill, right?

  18. That old damn “means test”. I know people who draw a military pension, work for the military as a civilian, and still expect full entitlements upon “retirement”. If a household is grossing 60k, has no mortgage, why on earth should I have to pay for their damn prescription drugs. As well, if 2 latte types in Toronto, grossing over 100k, want free daycare, why should I have to pay for that? Let’s “means test” these idiots to the hilt. Get out of my wallet, you closet socialist morons!

  20. When Harper gets a majority, the first throne speech should include a reference to undoing all the bad deeds of the Douglas clan over the last several decades.

  21. Thanks for the link Joe Molnar
    Har Har Har “Homosexuality is not a crime it is a mental illness.”
    Well according to St Tommy anyway.
    OK let’s recap. Sterilize the mentally handicapped and Lock up the homos in the nuthouse. No wonder the NDP worship this guy. Har Har Har.

  22. Good job, Mississauga Matt.
    Now that your Tommy the Commie thingy is up at You Tube, I can take mine down.
    I don’t have enough tech savvy to do your kind of editing.
    By all means leave it up on YouTube.
    By the way, wasn’t Shirley mixed up with some kind of shit disturbing leftist group in the US back a few years ago?
    Charges laid against her?
    Can anyone recall?

  25. Phantom,
    You’re right! Where are my slave reparations?
    I want free university.
    I don’t want to pay tax on anything, regardless of where I live.
    Why should a silly means test get in the way of me having absolutely everything anyone else gets…
    I have seen the light; and the light’s name is Shirley Douglas.

  26. Lets watch and see as shirley gets older if she will waite on the waiting list or will she use her money or her grandson’s money and god forbid seek medical attention south of the border in the evel american health care system. You all know the evil american system where you have to pay for first class care.(I thought my high canadian taxes covered this). The evil system where if you can’t affor insurance you have to get on a waiting list (shorter than in canada) to get free medical care. The same evil system that is good enough for millions of people who get timely care when they need it.
    Don’t let me down you fat cow

  28. Joe Molnar at 10:37,
    Thanks for that historical clip. I had forgotten how affected Saint Tommy`s vocal cadences were, and how similar to Saint Pierre`s.
    Funny how the “progressive” view of homosexuality has changed over the years from “sin” to “mental illness” as described by Saint Tommy, and now to privileged lifestyle and approved victim group status in the wonderful, wacky world of the Charter.

  29. Thanks for that clip Joe Molar. My Dad hated Tommy Douglas – he would have laughed himself sick to see this video. I laughed for both of us. The old preacher showing his true colors!

  30. What will they call the sports teams at Tommy Douglas High School?
    The Commies?….The Eugenics?….The Reds?
    That will be an interesting choice….stay tuned.

  33. Anyone who hates Tommy Douglas hates puppies and people. You probably had a deprived childhood and would abuse your spouces.

  34. It amazes me that someone so simple manages to use the technology to post here. Not an insult to the simple, it’s just very amazing.

  37. Shirley Douglas? Is she the actress that believes in reincarnation and all that spiritual stuff?

  38. Hey, I have the answer! Translate into ‘leftspeak’:
    “THE NDP WANTS TO BUY DRUGS FOR THE RICH!” Those bastards!

  40. rattfuc, as bad as Shirley Douglas seems to be, I think the “space alien” actress you’re thinking of is Shirley MacLaine, sister, BTW, of Warren Beatty. (And I even think they’re somehow Canadian: a grandparent, I think. Maybe they’re cousins of the Douglas family!)
    I saw ok4ua’s post in a split second on my way higher up–the posting order, that is. I misread it as “So I can’t shoot. Spell me!” Clever, I thought. Then I read this person’s actual words. Typical.

  41. It’s beyond me how you bunch of fools like yourselves may be ruling Sask. That’s truly scary!!

  42. Let’s drink a toast to those truely great Canadians. “Colon” Thatcher,Dick Culver and the former MLA who got caught with the 14 year old hooker. Let’s hear it for Father Devine and Brian Mulroney. Great thinkers if there ever were any. Common sense people. Nice guys we were told. Where are they now???
