CANADA'S CONSERVATIVE on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 10:30:08 AM
CANADA'S LEFT WING WACKJOB!
So Canada’s left wing leader Jack Layton of the New Democratic Party wants to negotiate with the Taliban. The word negotiate as Webster’s defines it is to (discuss in order to reach an agreement). If we are to reach consensuses with the Taliban one must know where each party stands. The Taliban shot women in football (soccer) stadiums for engaging in premarital sex, hanged women from goalposts for not having enough covering on their bodies, beat men for improper beard length, bar women from learning and working and decapitate any teachers who dare teach them as well as execute anybody who preaches another religion. Oh and there’s the little issue of running terrorist camps not to mention their description of the west as the great Satan. The N.D.P. says they’re for religious tolerance, freedom of education, women’s rights and any other group they can leech a vote from. My questions for Mr. Layton are as follows. Does he really feel he can come to consensus with the Taliban? If so, who and or what are you willing to sacrifice in your negotiations with the Taliban. If sacrifices are made will Canada be blamed in the years to come? Do you really believe you posses such powers of persuasion and charm in order to have the Taliban embrace western values admit defeat and become partners for peace? You can’t even get a sizable minority of Canadians to vote for you. Mr. Layton’s position doesn’t surprise me all that much as it isn’t far off than the N.D.P’s original position during WWII. If he had it his way North America would have been divided up between Germany, Italy and Japan. Isolationism should never be considered a virtuous position when it comes to foreign policy. I suggest the N.D.P stick to issues like second hand smoke, supposed global warming and concocting new ideas to wrestle tax dollars out our hands. Don’t worry Mr. Layton we’ll still let you M.C. the gay parades in Toronto. Just leave the big issues for Canadian and American Conservatives; people with the intestinal fortitude to see them through.
