Argus Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I don't think it fair to profess hate for Harper. How can one hate an odiot savant. He is not responsible for his genes.I am put in mind of Jane Wyman's description of Ronald Reagan (Reagan's first wife). She said that he was an "amiable dunce." The difference is that Harper is not amiable. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is a childish post. You don't like Harper's politics. Fine. But no one has ever suggested the man isn't extremely capable, intelligent, educated and knowledgeable.

Argus Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I certainly don't hate Harper (don't even know him). But I do think he's moderating his image and suppressing his personal political opinions in order to get elected. But that's just politics, not cause for hatred.But as for him, I'm not convinced he has anything but contempt for humanity in general. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Contempt for humanity? Maybe he just has contempt for idiots. Though I can understand how there'd be little difference for you.

fellowtraveller Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Damn, I'm beginning to sound like a Liberal. Bubber, that's what happens when you live down with the Devil. The NDP has been assimilated into the Liberal Party. Quote The government should do something.
shoop Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 What if this thread wasn't started by a conservative? Shouldn't the thread speak for itself? Hmmm, newbie for somebody who claimed to be 'neutral' when you got here that is a pretty partisan statement. The us vs. them mentality is much more evident in the Martinite clan, which has lead to the internal war in the LPC. This whole thread is childish. Was it started by a conservative?

shoop Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Eureka's posts symbolized the Martinites. Frustrated by the natural outcome of their terribly run campaign they have been reduced to name calling. Time is running out for you them. 16 more days, 16 more days, 16 more days....

BubberMiley Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Well, Harper's neither amiable nor a dunce. And the contempt for humanity thing is only based on my own stoner vibes, and what's more reliable than strong stoner vibes?

Guest eureka Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Where did you get the idea, Argus, that no one suggests that Harper is neither intelligent nor capable? I don't think he is either and I have suggested it on other accasions. When I say that he is an idiot savant, I mean just that. He knows quite a lot about tax numbers but understand nothing about the ir effects. And, it appears that he knows little else since his whole wretched purpose in being seems to be to rant about cutting taxes. That is the mark of an idiot savant. His working life, such as it has been, has been devoted to the same single minded purpose and he has given no sign or evidence of being capable of doing anything but yack about cutting government and taxes. He should have a firewall built around him. One that would keep the burning garbage in instead of smoking up the surrounding communities. Quote
BubberMiley Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Yeah, but he's no George W. He knows his way around an ideology. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

BubberMiley Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 What, scared? I'm just saying he knows what he's talking about. When he speaks his mind, he can eloquently express his neocon principles. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
scribblet Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Yeah, but he's no George W. He knows his way around an ideology. Is the left getting that scared??? They seem to be, and seem to be resorting to the 'scary and neo-con' stuff which is really another form of scare tactic as the word is actually used as a slur and simply meant to insinuate more 'scary scary' stuff. I'm not counting my chickens yet. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Where did you get the idea, Argus, that no one suggests that Harper is neither intelligent nor capable? I don't think he is either and I have suggested it on other accasions. Okay, rephrase. No one who has ever met or worked with him, no one of any substance even among his opposition, no one in the major media, no one in government, including the Liberals and NDP. No one not given to wild-eyed flights of rhetorical excess driven by hate and fear.

BubberMiley Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Argus, you took my quote out of context. I may be an idiot, but I can thin,k for myself, and not spout baseless drivel as fact.

Guest eureka Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Rephrase again, Argus. No one that you care to read or talk to, perhaps. There are a great many others who are not very impressed by his single minded ignorance. Quote
shoop Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Wow, you are a single-mended automaton. Enough with attack attack attack. No basis to it. Call it single-minded but a belief in his convictions is not enough to question Harper's intelligence. Rephrase again, Argus. No one that you care to read or talk to, perhaps.

There is only one person here I've ever put on ignore - and I can't even remember who it was. I think they were booted, though.
