The Tip of the Iceberg - the Lurking Theocrats
Check out Sensenbrenner (the Naftagate Leak) and you find out how deep the no longer secret agenda goes. Apparently a close friend of Mr. Day, Sensenbrenner, as the Star reported yesterday, is the son of Wisconsin Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner known as a right-wing right-winger in the heart of the fundamentalist Christian world - well there you go guys: no, Harper and his minions have no secret agenda!!
It gets better - rather worse - Gerry Chipeur, who introduced Sensenbrenner to the embassy officials leads one to the Christian Legal Fellowship (CLF), to which Stockwell Day and to my horror Senator David Smith are connected.
The tag line for the CLF is "Integrating Christian Faith & Law since 1978" and it is a self-described "national not-for-profit, charitable organization founded in 1978 out of the conviction that the vocation of law is a calling from God. With God's calling comes the responsibility and stewardship of integrating Christian faith and law. As Christian lawyers, law students, legal professionals and interested friends, we recognize the privilege and responsibility of joining together as a national voice to affirm our Christian convictions."
"The association, among other functions, explores the complex interrelationships between the practice and theory of law and Christian faith. While having no direct denominational affiliation, the CLF has nearly 500 active members from over 30 Christian denominations working in association together to proclaim, love, and serve Jesus Christ through all that we do in the practice of law."
Is this what Canadians want?

Admittedly some of these folk may not be running when the LPC FINALLY decide to walk their never ending talk and vote down Harper's govt. I would have to say, that if there is a 'secret agenda' for any political party it would be that the LPC has been fairly successful at hiding their substantial socon caucus while pointing furiously at the Harper govt (whose agenda doesn't seem very secret to me).
Point taken, but then what's the alternative: the NDP Brad and Judy gong show? you can't run a country on self-righteousness and you can't run an economy from only a labour perspective. So we just sit there and watch these holy roller wierdos destroy our country?
I would argue that you may not be up on the economic policies of the federal NDP. Let's set aside individual MPs or talking heads since I think we could both agree that I could throw out names of Liberals that people would not agree with (popcorn and beer anyone).
In the last election, many MSM outlets noted that the NDP platform was the most accurately costed plan of those on offer.
I guess my point is that I would like Liberal activists to start speaking truth about their party when it comes to progressive issues of conscience and economics something I don't find that they do.
