Canadian Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper has angered the greedy, brutal totalitarian regime of Communist China with his refusal to submit to their intimidation with respect to the discussion of human rights.
China recently snubbed Harper, cancelling a private meeting with him. Harper, in response, said:
"I think Canadians want us to promote our trade relations worldwide, and we do that, but I don't think Canadians want us to sell out important Canadian values -- our belief in democracy, freedom, human rights,'' Harper told reporters during a Wednesday stopover in Anchorage, Alaska. "They don't want us to sell that out to the almighty dollar.''
A regime that fosters low or no labor costs in manufacturing is apparently impossible for Liberals to resist. Liberals, in keeping with their name, liberally help themselves to the lucrative financial opportunities dangled from the totalitarian stick while so many Chinese suffer for lack of human rights, being brutally abused or executed for disobedience of any state dictate.
We know for sure where the priorities of Liberals lie. No doubt!
The Conservative Stephen Harper puts his money where his mouth is and actually stands up for human rights, unlike the Liberals! Let there be no doubt!
Conservatives actively push human rights at great potential financial cost whilst Liberals merely pay them lip service whilst pleasuring the brutally hateful Communist beasts however demanded.
The mainstream media's CTV's Roger Smith seems to be confused about all this:
"This whole idea that the Chinese didn't want to discuss human rights seems a little odd," said Smith. "Prime Minister Chretien used to always promise to raise human rights, and he still got meetings with the Chinese."
Listen, Roger, do you realize that the "Liberal" Mr. Chretien most likely privately reassured his Communist buddies that he was merely making such "promises" just for domestic political propaganda? We know that the Chinese Commies hate and refuse to be criticized on human rights, and demand that everyone keep their mouth shut about "internal affairs of the state", therefore, how do you know for certain that Mr. Chretien, a well-known liar, actually pushed the subject on them? We don't. Or do you? Do you have proof? If so, why didn't you provide it while you were talking to Canadians via the MSM?
Roger, you're being pro-Liberal in bias, with your mere, adolescent, speculative editorial opinion masquerading as astute, fact-based professional analysis. What you offer is nothing more than wishful thinking. You embarrass yourself and once again demonstrate that the MSM is biased in favor of Liberals and could give a shrew's bum about human rights.
Amnesty International is onside with Harper's stance:
"After 10 years of quiet diplomacy, it's really not clear that the human rights situation has improved in China. We have a host of human rights concerns,"(...)
Let there, therefore, be no doubt that it is the Conservatives who have proven that they stand up actively for human rights, not the Liberals.
However now are the Liberals going to weasel their way about this new ray of sunshine burning a growing hole into the already-threadbare drapery not-so-well hiding the true reality of the inside of the living room of the way they are?
Liberals are all talk, no truth.
Conservatives say what they mean, mean what they say... and prove it in real life!
Stephen Harper is a man of his word.
Towards a Conservative majority...
