Over-rated? Yes.
But the position of most over-rated surely is shared by those two long-serving Liberals: William Lyon Mackenzie King and Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

There's still noglastia for Brezhnev and Stalin in the former Soviet Union. Reminds me of that expression, not sure the exact wording, but the dumb dog doesn't know anything else.
In hindsight, if Mackenzie King's occultism, sexual deviances and sympathization with Hitler were known, than he simply would have never been elected during the 1930s and onwards. Ironically, the Liberal Party was in fact suppressing King's dirty lifestyle a skill in deceit that will be become important, on multiple occasion, for the liberal party (see corruption).

Trudeau wins most corrupt, most useless and worst PM in history hands down. Even worse than Bullronny.
digging up ancient garbage posted by this long-gone troll proves nothing. Course, what does? He's entitled to his POV.
Lester B put some marvelous legislation into effect............think CPP for only one. And did it all with a minority government which did not fracture the country as the present el primo is bent on doing.
Sometimes I do believe we deserve third world status.
I certainly agree with your take on King, but I am not quite so sure about Trudeau. I would point out thought that both governed during rather difficult times; King during the Great Depression and World War II, and Trudeau during the peak of Quebec separatism. Compared to those time periods Mulroney, Chretien, Martin, and Harper had it easy.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen a person here that had a more apt Username than you. Your first post is to bitch about a post that was made over three years ago?
Keep this up and you'll get more than Reported, believe me.:roll:
Where, anywhere, is it documented that Pierre Trudeau was corrupt. Trudeau stood up to the separatists. Mulroney on the other hand, added forty or fifty billion to the country's debt every year he was in office. He also accepted large sums of money in brown paper bags.
Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize. and was applauded all over ther world.
I would agree that there is no evidence that Pierre Trudeau was ever corrupt. My problems with the SOB are in the political sphere, I don't think he is a thief.
Mulroney is as corrupt as they come.
Pearson did win the Nobel Peace Prize.
So did Yassir Arafat.
In other words, the opinion of some bunch of eggheads (who also gave it to Obama, simply for NOT being G. W. Bush) has little to do with my judgement on the man.
And that is that he was mediocre, at best.
Yassir Arafat stood up for his people in Palestine under terrible conditions and he was eventually killed for it. He won the Nobel prize along with Begin who was a murderer from away back so the Nobel prize is not what it once was.
Can't let that one pass......
Yassir Arafat was a murdering SOB that exploited the Palestinian people worse than any Israeli.....by stealing billions (that's with a "b"!!!!!) of dollars of aid money from them, and then instigating the second intifada during to cover his crimes, thus denying "his" people any chance of peace in their lifetime.
At least Begin was sincere.
Oh Yes and all the Jews were innocent and pure as the driven snow.
Jewish Terrorism
It is said by some that the first terrorists in history were a first century Jewish group opposing Roman rule called the Sicarii ("dagger men"), who directed attacks and assassinations of Jews, including priests, who were collaborating with Roman authorities.
Some of the most active and notorious terrorist groups in the 20th century were Jewish Zionist groups in now Israel: Irgun and Lehi.
Irgun was formed in the 1930s by Zionist Jews who believed that Jews had to be more aggressive in their self-defense in order to support the Jewish Zionist enterprise. In the 1930s, most Irgun actions were retaliatory--conducting "eye for an eye" type campaigns in response to Arab violence against Jews--but by the end of World War II Irgun had begun engaging in actions against the British authorities, who they believed were managing Palestine against Zionist interests, including by limiting Jewish immigration. Irgun attacks included bombings of British government buildings, such as the immigration, tax and police offices, the bombing of the British Embassy in Rome and a car bombing of a British officers' club.
The three most infamous terrorist attacks by Irgun were the 1946 King David Hotel bombing, the 1947 Sergeants affair and the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre. On July 22, 1946, Irgun operatives bombed the King David Hotel, a luxury hotel in Jerusalem used by the British authorities as a headquarters, resulting in 91 deaths. It was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks of the 20th century, allegedly in part because warnings to evacuate the buliding were unheeded. In 1947, in retaliation for recent executions of Irgun operatives by the British administration, Irgun kidnapped and hanged two British sergeants. Their bodies were then booby-trapped with IEDs and hung up in trees, and a third British soldier was injured trying to recover the bodies.
The deadliest of the three, however, was the Deir Yassin massacre, an attack against an Arab Palestinian village. The attack was so heinous that prominent Jews in the west (including Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt) wrote a letter to the New York Times condeming Irgun as a "terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization" and described how "terrorist bands attacked [the] peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants – 240 men, women and children – and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem." Orphans were left at Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem's Old City.
The Deir Yassin massacre was conducted by Irgun in coordination with a second Jewish terrorist group called the Lehi. Lehi's politics were so confused that it actually proposed joining the Nazi cause in World War II in order to weaken British control of Palestine. A Lehi newsletter defended its acts thus:
Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat. We are very far from having any moral qualms as far as our national war goes. We have before us the command of the Torah, whose morality surpasses that of any other body of laws in the world: "Ye shall blot them out to the last man." But first and foremost, terrorism is for us a part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a great part to play: speaking in a clear voice to the whole world, as well as to our wretched brethren outside this land, it proclaims our war against the occupier. We are particularly far from this sort of hesitation in regard to an enemy whose moral perversion is admitted by all.
Just as some Palestinian organizations have taken an ethno-national cause--the cessation of the occupation of Arab Palestine--and turned it into a religious conflict, with violence activated by faith, Lehi justified violence in the nationalist Zionist agenda with a virulent reading of Jewish religious texts. Lehi was also responsible for the assassination of a British minister in Cairo and a UN mediator in Jerusalem.
Leaders of Irgun and Lehi went on to powerful positions in the State of Israel. Menachem Begin, the sixth Prime Minister of Israel, was head of the Irgun from 1943 to 1948. Seventh Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir was among Lehi's leaders. Although both Irgun and Lehi have been labeled terrorist organizations by the State of Israel, in 2006, Natanyahu and former Irgun members celebrated the King David Hotel bombing's 60th anniversary, and Lehi members have been honored by the Israeli government as martyrs of the state.
Don't know but Lester Pearson was a member of one of Canada's first Spengler Cup hockey teams.
Begin might at some time been sincere to his own mother but maybe you should ask some of the casualties on the USS Cole just how sincere Begin was. Mostly he was a liar.
Do you mean the USS Liberty??
You should read Michael Coren's book on the Six Day War........
