To talk about THAT, you must confront the provincial prosecutor in LIBERAL Ontario.....and don't bother bringing up the judge, as he has NO say in dropping charges.

Good day Colpy,
Who ever is responsible for this abomination of justice, has gotten MILLIONS OF CANADIANS pissed off. Just because the prosecutor is a Liberal, what are you telling me that the Canadians who are pissed off are Conservatives?

No....I am as curious as anyone as to why the charges were dropped.

But even the NDP Justice critic, Joe Comartin, does not believe it was political influence.

In any case, it would be impossible for the Conservatives to have influenced the case.....so the accusation included in a rant about the CPC is unfair in the extreme.

Countryboy: Maybe you should report the individual.....like he's so fond of doing....
For myself the friends that answered my email in aproval must have been Conservatives or Liberals with a sense of humour:lol:

And ....Thanks

Well, as much as I find name-calling a waste of time, reporting it to the authorities is probably a bigger waste of time...I'm sure the mods have better things to do that to listen to me whine about something that somebody might have said to me/about me. My Grannie always told me, "Consider the source" and I do that whenever that pops up. No big deal, in my opinion.

Besides, I'm trying to follow the thread topic of "Liberal phobia and the cause..." and I realize that some people might disagree with some of the comments made about it. Of course, that is entirely reasonable and all a part of exploring what appears to be a sensitive subject. Besides, it's everyone's right to disagree and then come forth with opposing viewpoints. There appear to have been a few of those, and that makes for a healthy, balanced discussion.

It would be nice to hear opposing viewpoints expressed something like, "No, I think you're wrong because...." instead of "Conservatives are all a bunch of..." and such.

But alas, perhaps due to what might be a lack of facts to oppose the viewpoint, we do hear a fair amount of screaming and yelling on this one. It only serves to highlight the existence of Liberal phobia, in my opinion.

Colpy I am a fair guy, I am willing to withdraw my insinuation on whether this was politically motivated , until such time it proves to be the case.

I will say no more on the poster boy until we all know the truth.
One thing that must be said, if I was caught driving drunk with cocaine in my car, $500 would not get me off.
We must agree on that… :smile:

Well for myself my reason for being ...not scared....but leery of liberalism is that it proposes collectivism and redistribution of wealth as opposed to conservatives who promote individualism and personal liberties.

Personal Liberty? Talk to the natives about personal liberty, they received body bags in place of medicine.

Ye personal liberty for some not all.

Liberal phobia and the cause….

Right now I only have a couple of minutes. There are Reported
Posts in this Thread. For now, I'm locking this Thread, & I will
come back to it in a couple of hours....when time permits.

Sorry 'bout the inconvenience, but that's what we're dealing
with at this time.

i think that is very well said.

However, the political rhetoric that starts in Parliament, is intensified by the media, and ultimately parroted by many "people in the street" has become - in my opinion - a very destructive game. Although both the Conservatives and Liberals tend to head for the so-called "centre of the political spectrum" (in order to get the mainstream people to vote for them), the rhetorical silliness mentioned above pretty much turns it all into a gong show.

I can see where Liberal phobia gets its start...anyone who is working hard for a living might take exception to having too much of the fruits of his/her labours taken away to support someone who might not like to work that hard...and there some of those out there. Some of the Liberal extremists push an unqualified, carte blanche approach to this ("Just give it to anyone who doesn't have it") and they can get quite verbal about it. This could another underlying reason for the phobia.

If the rhetoric was toned down to a civil level, it would likely become more clear that the sensible way to go would be to give help to those who really need it because of circumstances beyond their control, and encourage and support those who could put forth more effort to help themselves do just that. It seems fairly straightforward to me.

You have the right idea Countryboy- the guys who do the work should be getting the pay.............:smile:
That's what put the final nail in the N.D.P.'s coffin as far as I was concerned, too many drones and parasites taking a cut of the "pie".

You mean provincially...in BC, I suspect. Yes, they had two problems here...one was the ideology and the other was the particular brand of people in the party running things at the time, I think. Some of the individuals were not too bad, but as a group they were a disaster.

Federally, they can't get any serious traction to move beyond where they're at. This recession has really not helped their cause at all, because many people are worried about their jobs and holding on to what they have - instead of having it given away on their behalf.

The Libs have tried to present themselves as the saviours of all in need, but I think a great many voters are wise to the tricks of the past, which is why the Libs can't get the polls going their way. It could be an indication the Liberal phobia is present right across the country. Except perhaps in select neighborhoods in urban Ontario. :lol:

I, too, would like to see that, as shutting this thing down daily every evening
and then taking a Rotor-Rooter to it every evening is tedious at best...and
has gotten beyond something anyone would wish to finish their day up with.

Perhaps "rhetoric" was the wrong choice of words, given the machinery you mentioned. I'm thinking something along the lines of excrement? :-|
