Scotty Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 No, the NDP is not going to win, and not going to form the government, but let's have a little fun with this. It strikes me that one of the reasons the silly types are willing to consider the NDP as a serious party is because nobody has previously considered them a serious party, and so nobody pays a lot of attention to some of the goofball beliefs they have. Libby Davis, as an example, Deputy Leader of the NDP. Libby is a fruitloop who introduced a private members bill to amend the Canadian Human Rights act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of social condition. That's right, some banker refusing to lend a bum a million dollars could get taken to court because he's discriminating against the poor! Davis has also stated that Israel has been occupied territory since 1948. In other words, that the state of Israel is not a legitimate state, thus requiring Layton to apologize to the Israelis. Davis also introduced a petition in the house for an investigation into the World Trade Center attacks. That's right, Libby Davis is a 'truther' who thinks the WTC buildings were brought down by the CIA. And why hasn't Layton gotten rid of her? Because he can't. She has too much support in the party. Which ought to tell you something about that party... Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy

Which ought to tell you something about that party... On the flip side, we could also talk about the "fruitloops" and "goofball beliefs" of the Conservative Party of Canada. Shall we start with Brad Trost? How about him for Deputy MP if the CPC shall be able to form a government? Quote

Libby Davis is deputy leader of your party, and believes invisible elves with high explosives blew up the world trade center, and that it should be illegal for business to 'discriminate' against people who can't pay their bills.

Well, she's an idiot. Of course, so was Stockwell Day. So is Vic Toews. Quote
Scotty Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Well, she's an idiot. Of course, so was Stockwell Day. So is Vic Toews. Would you like to find anything about either of those two which matches the depths of blustering idiocy of your party's deputy leader? Not to mention the fact she has so much support within the party. And I wonder how long it's going to be before the love-in ends and the media starts asking Layton about his affection and admiration for Fidel Castro.

Mr.Canada Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Libby Davies has made many anti semitic remarks in the past causing much embarrassment for her party who had to apologize for them. That seems reason enough for me. Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog
RNG Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Well, she's an idiot. Of course, so was Stockwell Day. So is Vic Toews. Stockwell Day is not an idiot and never was. He was a great Alberta cabinet minister, a disaster as a leader and at least a journeyman federal cabinet minister. Martin was a genius as finance minister and a joke as a leader. I don't know enough about Toews to comment. But your lady is way, way, way out there. Quote The government can't give anything to anyone without having first taken it from someone else.
Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Would you like to find anything about either of those two which matches the depths of blustering idiocy of your party's deputy leader? My party? Really? My party? I've voted Conservative twice. I don't need to take lessons from you. Both believe the earth is 6000 years old. Other members among the Conservative government (such as the Minister of State for science and Technology) don't believe in evolution. Those things qualify you for nutjob hood just as well as being a truther (which is nutty). Quote

Mr.Canada Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Thomas Mulcair would be Deputy PM anyways. He's far too popular to not be. Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog

I'd say Day's creationist beliefs are worse: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1042814.stm especially considering that the Alliance was in favour of that shit being taught in schools alongside the theory of evolution. -- Oh cool, thanks, Smallc.

It's okay to be anti muslim and anti semitic then though, right? I believe in freedom of speech. Sure it's ok to have any views one would like to have. However they need to be held responsible for those views. Being able to have certain views and being free of responsibility for them are two distinctly different things.

TimG Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 I'd say Day's creationist beliefs are worse: Why? They have not bearing on public policy. Libbie's wacko views do. i.e. she wants the Canadian government to ivestigate a terroist attack in another country. Quote

Both believe the earth is 6000 years old. Apparently you need to take lessons from me in what party you voted for... And by the way, why is it okay to mock Christian beliefs but not okay to mock the goofy religious beliefs of Sikhs or Hindus or Muslims? Does anyone ever laugh at Sikh MPs because they believe that God insists they never cut their hair? Do people mock Muslims for believing Dogs are impure, or Hindus because they think Cows are sacred? Can anyone imagine a panel of liberals on the CBC snickering and chortling about a Muslim woman thinking she needs to cover herself in a bedhsheet wherever she goes? Now don't get me wrong. I mock lots of religious beliefs. But it strikes me as pretty hypocritical when you see mockery coming from knee-jerk liberals who get all self-righteous whenever anyone mocks Muslims or Sikhs. Did you know that Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs also don't believe in the theory of evolution? And generally speaking, these communities are far more observant and religious than the Christian community.

Mr.Canada Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 It does so. What socially conservative viewpoints are visible in our laws?
