Jack Layton, right, the angry-looking bald guy with the mustache, attending a rally of anarchistic left-wing extremists, denouncing the Canadian Forces' part in the continuing liberation of the Afghan people from the wholly intolerant, murderous Taliban. Fellow NDP MP and wife Olivia is at left. They certainly keep some darned fine company, don't they? I thought left-wing extremists were opposed to intolerance, but apparently I thought wrong. They only claim to oppose intolerance! They don't even care if the state-mandated intolerance is accompanied by state-mandated-and-committed murder, as has been the case with the Taliban, whom they apparently favor over the Afghan people.Story here. h/t: National Newswatch
OTTAWA—Miranda Kostiuk-Hein has three children, a husband in uniform and a bone to pick with NDP Leader Jack Layton.She says it's time that Layton, who addressed a weekend protest rally in Toronto to speak out against the Afghan conflict, made some time to hear the stories of the soldiers who have been fighting overseas and the families they leave behind."It's great he had time to go to this rally and yet again speak out about soldiers. Why can't he take 10 minutes and phone and talk to combat Joe's wife, who lives with it?" she asked.(...)"... At least give us a chance and hear our side, hear our stories, hear what we live with on a day-to-day basis," Kostiuk-Hein said in an interview yesterday.
Unfortunately, Mr. Layton isn't interested. He prefers to have political minions deal with ordinary Canadians like Miranda, who don't happen to share his own liberal-left worldview. He'll mingle with anarchistic moonbats, but he won't give the majority of Canadians, who aren't leftists, the time of day. Can you say "myopic, narrow-worldview and intolerant"? Clearly Mr. Layton seems proud to wear these labels, which are popular amongst leftists like himself in being used against non-leftists who don't share his worldview.
Miranda has invited Jack to her home, to sit and talk with her. But Jack won't be bothered. This is just terribly appalling- this man, Jack Layton, has publicly demanded that our government pull out of Afghanistan and "sit down and talk with"... the Taliban, of all folks!
A man of the people? No, not Jack Layton. An open-minded man? No, not Jack Layton. An intelligent man? Definitely not Jack Layton. A man who cares about freedom, democracy, the rule of law and human rights? No, not Jack Layton. A man who cares about women? No, not Jack Layton. A man who wants all Afghan children, including girls, to be allowed to go to school? No, not Jack Layton.
Jack Layton, you don't speak for me.
Resign, please. I don't want you in the House of Commons. You are un-Canadian and are against Canadian values as far as I'm concerned.
Canada must stay and do the job in Afghanistan.
Jack Layton must get out of Parliament.
How does if feel now, Jack? Any empathy yet? Don't get litigious. Fair's fair. Don't dish it out unless you can take the return fire!
The enemies of freedom, of democracy, of the rule of law and of human rights will fail.
The Free World will prevail!
