Proud to be a Conservative
Like pretty much every conservative blogger out there, I too have followed the ongoing Liberal Leadership Convention this weekend with great interest. And as I was watching both the candidates’ and the guests’ speeches (even if I didn’t watch all of them) as time went by, I began more and more to feel the smite and burn of the Liberal Party’s deeply arrogant mentality and the ideological distance along with the ever-wider discrepancy between my values and theirs.
Folks, after seeing what I’ve seen over the weekend in Montréal, I have to say something:
I DON’T THINK I COULD BE PROUDER TO BE A CONSERVATIVE NOW. I REALLY DON’T.
I hate the Liberal Party of Canada with all my guts. In fact, I LOATHE them. Pretty much always did. They rule arbitrarily. They are corrupt. They bash the U.S. for more popularity. They think they’re the only ones allowed to rule the country. They are the only ones who support "Canadian values", whatever that means. They don’t stand for anything good. They don’t stand for anything bad. They don’t stand for anything at all, which is why they get reelected all the time! Their positions change from election to election. They don’t have any qualms with supporting one thing at an election, and then supporting its exact opposite the next. Their arrogance knows no bounds.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again now: The Liberal Party represents everything I hate about Canada.
Fortunately, I think Harper - provided he does not screw up big time from now until the election - is not going to have any trouble defeating them and gaining a majority. Even some Liberals, unhappy with their party’s choice, think so.
The Liberals are in big trouble. Their Conservative-demonizing, self-congratulating, U.S.-bashing fest that they DARE call a convention sucked. Look at the Ken Dryden and Jean Chrétien speeches. More and more spewing of self-righteous anti-American hate Liberals are SO GOOD at. And to think they invited Howard Dean to speak for them! I felt ashamed for them. And what the hell is that? Stéphane Dion as leader? Oh, please…
Out of three serious possible contenders for the leadership, (along with Ignatieff and Rae) they chose the only one that represents the OLD Liberal Party of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin (ughhh! Just thinking about these people makes me shiver!) and its corrupt, uncaring ways.
They chose the one that represents the most their stupid self-righteous mentality.
They chose a candidate that actually does NOT speak English (I still can’t get over this one, I’m a native French speaker and I couldn’t figure out what he said in English when not reading off of a teleprompter).
They chose one that has no personality (which is something they actually discredited the Conservatives for doing with Stephen Harper).
They chose a Kyoto-worshipping, (not that stupid, useless "treaty" rearing its ugly head again, please!) socialist, leftist unpopular policy wonk.
They chose Stéphane Dion because they thought he’d help them in Québec (which still would rather vote Conservative than Liberal) *NEWSFLASH* for Liberals: I am from Québec and Stéphane Dion is UNIVERSALLY-hated here. The Clarity Act, which he came up with, is perceived as a blatant federal incursion into Québec powers and is hated by sovereignists and federalists alike.
The Liberals are never going to learn. Ever. To them, being put in the opposition was but a short break from exercising power. "Hey, of course Canada’s "natural governing party" will come back to power!" People of the Liberal Party, there’s a reason you’re NOT IN POWER right now. We’re not going to tell you though, you’re going to have to figure it out…
Anyhoo.
This is laughable, and have you noticed just how freaking much the Liberal Broadcasting Corporation, er… the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation covered it? The last Conservative convention in Montréal didn’t actually enjoy even 10% of the coverage the Liberals had. Tell me again the CBC isn’t biased, leftists, and I’ll openly laugh in your face.
No, seriously folks:
‘Tis a great day to be a Conservative. Stand tall and proud, Tories!
For you, actually, DO stand for something…
Stephen, the coast is clear for your majority government. Please proceed.
