Liberals Want an Election

Liberals want to force an election down our throats this fall. But why?
Could it be that for them it's about the lust for power and the chance to get their fingers on our money again? It's all about them, not the country.

We just had an election not even a year ago. We've had so many elections in the past five years, it almost makes it an annual event. But at the cost of 300 million dollars each time? For what kind of results in the end? According to most polls lately the results would be more or less the same, so what's the point? That money could be well better spent.

What pressing issue is it worth going to the polls for? The only pressing issue at least for Liberal leader Micheal Ignatieff, is EI reform. 36o hours eligibility. Give me a break. That's pretty a pretty weak issue to force an election over when our unemployment rate has held steady at 8.6% for the last two months GM and Chrysler just announced they'll be calling back some of their layed off workers soon. The government has promised EI reform this fall. So that issue kinda falls flat.

The economy according to more and more economists and experts is that we have bottomed out now and are going to start to recover shortly.

Another good reason that the Liberals shouldn't force an election on us is that they are just not ready. L.Ian MacDonald in his column today explains why. One reason is that Michael Ignateiff's summer has been a dud. He says "They don't have a program or a strong ground game, they don't have a message, and their leader Michael Ignatieff doesn't have a narrative"


So Liberals don't force another election on us. We are voter fatigued. No wonder the turn out is gradually getting lower with each passing election. Too many of them in such a short period.
Anyway the country is hummin' along quite nicely right now when you compare it to other countries especially the US with Obama and the Democrats in charge.

We are better off under the leadership of PM Harper and his goverment right now. They've been steady at the wheel during these trubulent times. Let's stay the course. Now, does that not make sense?

You be the judge!

Compassion, For Who?

We all know by now the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi has been released from jail on compassionate grounds to go back home to his family in Libya to die.

What about the victims families? Where's the compassion been shown to them? Did the Scottish authorities forget about them? They are angry and outraged. They should be. Their family and friends can't come home to them. Their loved ones were taken from them by this criminal.

So why should he be released? Why can't he just die in jail? If it's on compassionate grounds, why not release all prisoners? Surely they find something to grant all inmates mercy.

Watch this video of Wolf Blitzer from CNN interviewing the Scottish Justice Secretary. Notice how Wolf asks him the same question over and over again and he doesn't answer it.

Just another example of liberal forgetting the victim and hugging the criminal.

Now does that make sense? I think not!

Common Sense

You know what I've noticed in the last few years? Yup, it's getting harder and harder to find good old fashioned common sense.

Reminds me of "Where's Waldo" Where's good old fashioned common sense?

Common sense seems to be a thing of the past these days. It's really hard to find out there. You read the newspapers, listen to the radio, watch television. It just doesn't seem be there anymore. Even in our educational institutions is difficult to find. I give my head a shake once in awhile and think what happened. Why is it so hard to come by?

Common sense is something that in my parents and grandparents day was just that, common. It was easy to find.

What is common sense you ask?
According to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, Common sense is defined as:
sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts

What I find it seems to be a little more prevalent in conservative circles even then it can be sparse at times. Try and find common sense in liberal circles, well that's another story. Almost as rare as hen's teeth. I give my head a shake once in awhile and wonder what happened. Why is it so hard to come by?
.
Let's make it common again I know from reading a few conservative blogs that there is smidgen of sense out there.

Conservatives we can make a difference, let's make common sense common again.

In future posts I will attempt to illustrate where the common sense is lacking in the news of the day, politics and other issues.
