From the Aug 28th Toronto Star: As long as Harper plays to the idiot factor, he'll stay in power.

So what? You'd be surprised at what we can accomplish if the right would just stop whining and complaining.

Jeremy Rifkin (author of End of Work) interviewed a bunch of corporate CEOs and they recognized that childcare workers were severely undervalued in our western society. He then posed a hypothetical question to them asking if they were paid the same, would they exchange jobs with childcare workers and all of them refused citing their own CEO work would be a lot easier. Secondly, $1400/mo doesn't seem out of line. When my kids were young, we were forking out about $1000/mo. Today, there's a much more cost efficient solution. It's call the national childcare program, but guess who's going to whine about that too? Thirdly, the cost of living had been steadily increasing since women recognized they needed to get external employment. Today they need external work not only to keep up with the cost of living but also to ensure their eligibility to contribute to their own registered retirement plan. As we all know, there won't be enough government money waiting for all of us when we retire - hence the need to get external work and therefore childcare services. And finally, another JKGalbraith quote (or paraphrase): If the rightwing had their way, there'd be nobody working.

The right wing seems to think that the poor have too much money and the rich don't have enough. John Kenneth Galbraith The topic starter seems to share this crazy sentiment.

That's alot of tough talk but we just learned yesterday a study has found that McCain supporters have low testosterone levels.

Whine, whine, whine... righwingers can dish it out but they can't take it back... whine, whine, whine.

There goes Sarah Palin's chances.

All the trigger-happy yahoos would already be on his side, so there were never any worries except hunting accidents.

Until they get their majority. Then it's Reform-Party all the way.

You are finally understanding the value of war. http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/edwin_starr/war.html War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Uh-huh http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/sainte_...al_soldier.html He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows he shouldn't kill, And he knows he always will, Killing you for me my friend and me for you.

So how many years would that be: 75% every 75years until the population is in single digits. Anyways, the point is made about cutting off immigration.

Actually the real quote is: “If we were to stop the tap of immigration tomorrow and not let one person in, the last Canadian would die in 175 years.” ~ Sergio Marchi, Minister of Immigration, The Globe and Mail interview, 27 June 1994

And we already know the views on this forum don't represent those of the general population. And as stated by an immigration minister, if immigration to Canada were to stop, the last Canadian would die in about a hundred years.

The flies will scatter and the sh*t will fly (all over).

I still remember the words to "God Save the Queen."

Over-the-top right-wing paranoid fanaticism attracts terrorists like flies to a log of sh*t.

Whether it's true or not, it is too explosive an issue introduce it into any conversation. Obama is intelligent enough to recognize that wedge issues and antagonism aren't going to help you win any support for your cause as they only serve to distract from the real discussion. During the interview, Obama had correctly identified that JFK, FDR (and Reagan) had to endure similar types of reactions and responses to their own intiatives.

There you go again, it was co-op housing.

Just goes to show you how the Tories will do anything to grab onto power - even aligning themselves with socialists and separatists.

Have you read the posts from those right-wing crazies? Yes, it was pretty frightening when the Bush people did that to the anti-war people. The Ann Coulters and Bill O'Reillys were accusing war opponents of supporting terrorism. We remember the Valerie Plame incidence very well.

Ha ha, it's just re-assuring that when the right-wing crazies post, we know the general population won't agree.

At 55% supporting conservatives, this forum soooo represents the general population.

So he's blaming the recession on Obama just for running in the election. Now that's funny.

It's called the military. If too many kids stay in school, there'll be less joining the army.

Because those 6s sound bites sound good to the ears. And spending a minute to explain why they are wrong lose the voters' interest. Not since he broke his own law last year by calling an election.
