My father and I were discussing my previous post on the way to the football game on the weekend. We were discussing how the opposition parties are saying anything and taking any position to gain a foothold in public opinion. These positions are not put forward to "save the country" or make a "better Canada". These positions from the left are used entirely for political posturing and votes. To take political positions for political power rather than the good of the country is, in my father's words, treason.
It is for these reasons that the Liberal party and New Democratic Party have scared me so much in the last decade. Their politics are not simply "misguided" in my mind (as I often think of the left), they are intentional ruses to gain votes. How is this not treason when it is not for the good of our country? I was once asked by a liberal friend if I would prefer the country's fate or direction to be in the hands of some backwoods fisherman in Newfoundland as a voter or by a university educated politician in Toronto? I told him that I will take the backwoods voter, as scary as that might be, over the Toronto politician because he doesn't have the power agenda.
In my discussion with my father, we also agreed that the main stream media also contributes to the treasonous left and harming the country. Any talk of healthcare reform etc is bashed by the media as "American" style immediately and makes any discussion of improvements in our system political suicide. Again, politics over the good of the country for headlines and agendas.
I ran across this article on NealeNews today and it shows the US is facing the same issues. The left is so focussed on opposition and political power, they will say anything to try and make the "sound bite" with total disregard for the good of the country. Think about this when reading this article Leaving the Left. Also think about how the left and the media aids the terrorist agenda, as mentioned in previous posts, to try and make political points rather than standing behind their country.

Treasonous Opposition

I agree whole heartedly. One of the best examples is the push to get out of Afganistan as soon as possible by the left (no long term committment). If I were a terrorist and sensed (never mind witnessed on a daily basis in our media and from the political opposition) that there was a chance that Canada would not renew its position in Afganistan, I would organize and reek all the havock possible. If there was a ten or twenty year committment to be there, I would probably consider that I should move on to another part of the world. We may justify this ongoing debate as "free speech" but it could also be looked at as inciting activity on the part of the Taliban and terrorists, and causing alot of Canadian deaths---an act of treason!.
You make a good point. However, you're assuming that these terrorists think logically. It's possible that a long-term commitment may renew their fury and commitment to their terror-war.
In my mind these people don't think logically. Suicide bombings? Unbridled neverending rage? Following their leaders like sheep?
But I guess as long as we all continue to think logically, that's what counts!
You project reasons for people to do something and blame them for your suppositions ! Analysis of the way the U.S. has behaved in Afghanistan and Iraq both strongly suggest that the Yanks have " poisoned the well" by not acting in a manner consistant with informed analysis and planning.
Their colourful term "clusterfuck" applies to what has happened in both countries.
I've posted some links, etc. dealing with this.
The U.S.S.R. tried to deal with Afghanistan and were forced to abandon the project. You may notice the U.S. took their act elsewhere (mostly).
Surely our efforts should go to projects where success can be reasonably be projected : not a mismanaged/inherited fiasco of such large proportions ( especially with Pakistan working to its detriment ! ).
