scribblet Posted December 21, 2012 Report Posted December 21, 2012 I hate Harpers singing voice! I can't say I hate Harper himself because I do not know him.Bot oh God when this guy sings,his horendous voice is unbearable! Comparing Harper to Hitler is not that far fetched.There are similarities. WWWTT Sure there are, (Godwin's law here) let me see: he's herding people onto cattle cars to be exterminated as we speak.. <roll eyes>.

WWWTT Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Sure there are, (Godwin's law here) let me see: he's herding people onto cattle cars to be exterminated as we speak.. <roll eyes>. I don't recall writing that Harper tried to knowingly commit genocide. Hitler,like Harper,was very anti union and pro military. Not to mention Harper has a terrible singing voice!

Argus Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 Not to mention Harper has a terrible singing voice! WWWTT Nonsense. He actually sounds quite good for an amateur. I bet you aren't half as good. You're simply saying that because you don't like the man.

eyeball Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Oh come on. Surely you've encountered such people often enough. I know I have. Heck, I was joking around with my mailman the other day about having to sign the dumb computer screen for a delivery. I said you couldn't tell whose name was on the thing, that I could sign Stephen Harper if I wanted to. He said, yeah, or Adolph Hitler. Then he paused and said, offhand. Same thing. That sort of attitude is particularly widespread among unions and left wing activists. And if you ever want to see it thriving just to go the Globe and Mail comment pages whenever there's a story on the federal government, or especially on the conservatives or on Harper. What about the right-wingers I've encountered who refer to Harper as Dear Leader? I certainly wasn't feeling the love. Maybe there are even worse things than hate. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
eyeball Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 They make Mr. Harper, in their own white-hot minds, bigger and more scary than he is or could be. National Post As opposed to how big and fluffy his adorers make him out to be you mean? Whatever. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

But I don't feel sorry for what is essentially a small, municipal leader demanding a personal meeting with Harper and the Queen, and going on a hunger strike until she gets it. If the mayor of Perth did that everyone would be mocking and ridiculing him.

Uh, kinda like, uh, you I guess.. I don't disagree with the characterization but the fact remains it was most definitely a right-winger I heard it from. I agree you see the term being used in fora like these by lefties but contrary to what you're claiming I did in fact hear it coming from a self-avowed right-winger who also typically votes conservatively.

eyeball Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 I don't believe for a moment anyone would use that seriously except as an insult. I took it to be one and an apt reflection of reality given it was said in the context of Harper's more egregious treatment of Parliament, democracy and transparency.

The chiefs are afraid to open their books. Their books which is all money paid by our government from our taxes. the Indians pay no taxes but the rest of us do and should be able to see how our money is being spent. We have a right to know. if they don't want to tell us then we shouldn't have to give them billions of dollars every year. Why don't these people look after their own people? They're very poor at doing it. Quote

Argus Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Posted December 24, 2012 Not ever conservative supporters supports Harper. I support him most of the time. I have no great affection for the man, but I do respect him. He's done a fairly good job of steering us through difficult waters, and if he isn't all I would wish for, well, he's better than anyone else who's been offered up in the last twenty five years. I don't agree with some of his positions or some of his policies, but unless I do the job myself that is inevitable, no matter who is in charge. I think he does his best in the only way he knows how, which is a micromanaging, control-freak sort of way. And it usually seems to work. I was reading the Economist the other day. It had a number of detailed stories on areas of the world we don't tend to talk much about, and all I could do was shake my head and give thanks that our government isn't as incompetent, corrupt and self-serving as some of the others, particularly in Latin America and Africa. Europe has its share of decent leaders, but there was no one there I could honestly say I would prefer to Harper. And there were a number I am glad are not Canadians. I am not a fan of Obama either. I see no great vision, ability or accomplishments from the man. He can give a speech that is less boring than Harper, but that's a low bar to cross, and I don't see that as the main responsibility of being a leader.
