Hergest Ridge

Blue is back at the helm, with another minority government. It would be too easy to go on a rant - the average Conservative is an IdealismVille pickup truck at day’s end. Any Government preoccupied with its citizens’ sex life, fighting for ends rooted in dogma, and keen to please the bully next door should be relegated not just to the backbench but the bleachers.

My fellow countrymen have once again swallowed a sugarcoated pill of Ignorance, Idealism, and Idiocy (just to stay within the letter I.) Ignorance most common in children and social conservatives, Idealism the bastard child of Feelgood and Ignorant, Idiocy an endless substance attracted to the former two.

While my opinion - and it is just an opinion - will make me unpopular, I look at the crowd and ask myself “Why the hell would I want to be popular with that crowd?” When it comes to politics, most can’t tell an ass from a head. Is it any wonder that they can’t tell from which end a politician parleys?

Harper - an economist - knows damn well that elimination of the prison tattoo and Vancouver safe injection site programs will not save money, for both decrease the significantly higher expenses we’ll otherwise need suffer in Health Care. Did you know that? Or did you instead buy the facade of “saving tax payers’ money?”

I am aware that there are many basis for choosing a political party, but how’d 5.2 million of you swallow the idealism, yet alone the rest of the crap? (Cough, cough.) I’m still gagging and coughing, and that’s after spitting the whole out before it could really do some damage.
