David Warren on Eastern Canadian Voters

 “The electorate of eastern Canada. It is like a woman who has been beaten too often by the same violent man, who for his birthday, presents him with a fresh cudgel.”

Neither Defeat nor Misfortune

 

David Warren on the true enemies of mankind.

 The true, and the most wicked, enemies of mankind, are the people who think they know what they are doing. They should be spotted, tried, and condemned. For, the beginning of political wisdom is to know, with holy certainty, that you don’t know.

Dean Martin Roast Gif

 

I’m going to try and prove I can walk and talk at the same time!

 

You’re going to Hell!

 The way I think of it, telling someone they’re going to Hell is tolerant.  For to me, tolerance means putting up with something you don’t like.  It’s only intolerant if you try to genocide the thing and offer it no hope of redemption.

That being said, intolerance can be good.  Tolerating evil is no virtue and is probably cowardly.

It is too much to ask for acceptance.  Acceptance is not a synonym for tolerance.  The tolerant are unaccepting.

Literally Trump

 In the 1920s when Hitler was coming prominence, his detractors said he was literally Trump.

A poetic notion

 

Eremition: an interesting word

 Does this mean Eremite is a verb?  That is to eremite means to gradually fade from the life of others…

I don’t think I could do this.  I can fade away and I am in a situation where I am fading away from others but it’s from a resignation tinged with bitterness.

Drowning Babies

 Left wingers assume that saying what a supposed intention of a government program happens to be is all that is needed to keep a government program going.  Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water! they say to people who question the program.

Right wingers, for wont of a better label, say that the results of a program show that it is useless or even counterproductive.  But, the bath has drowned the baby!  they say to the left wingers who are deaf, and or are incapable or are unwilling to understand what the right winger is saying.

Carney & Trudeau

 Apparently, Trudeau has been following Carney’s orders for the last five years,

Good things that could be said about Justin Trudeau

David Warren on Carney

 Indeed, Mr Carney may be worse than the Trudeau child, because his empty qualifications will confuse people, and Canadians are easily confused. He will be an ideal victim for Donald Trump, who fights rough sometimes, but is genuinely smart.

 We never hear of great men until the time when all other men are small.

Case in point:  Trump!

Zelensky has to keep the grift going

 How to explain Zelensky’s strange behavior?  He seems bent on having his country destroyed.  He surely knows he has no cards, and Trump is offering him a dignified escape.

Zelensky is a grifter who either doesn’t want to be found out or wants to keep the grift going.  Looking at it that way, his behavior can then seem rational.  Zelensky, knowing that Trump & Vance were on to him, decided to appeal to the progressives who were worshipping him.  And what better way to stay in their good graces than by making a scene with Trump.  Even if Trump was substantively correct, Zelensky knew his left wing supporters would ignore that and see him as being bullied and thus heroic.  And even if these people pledging support for him, like Trudeau and Starmer, had no cards either, it’s not important because he’s still a shining bauble in these peoples’ eyes.  And so Zelensky’s grift can continue.
