Obama the Hypocrite.

"Obama has proven himself repeatedly to be a very tolerant, very rational-sounding sort of bigot" John Cloud-Time magazine.

This was written in response to the President-Elect naming Pastor Rick Warren to participate in his inauguration and I couldn't have said it better myself. I can't believe the so-called No Drama Obama would alienate such a vocal supportive, monetarily and voter wise, group as the Gay, Lesbian and Transgendered community. Over the years I've met people who were either a visible minority, disabled or homosexual who then turned out to be some of the most bigoted people I have ever met. You would think being discriminated against would give them a little empathy and tolerance but somehow it did not. Following Obama the Hypocrites logic a white supremicist should be welcome at the inauguration as well. You cannot pick an identifiable group and allow others to preach hate against them from their pulpits. I've said before and I'll say it again Its about equality, stupid.

The 40th Parliament (R.I.P.P.)

The Prime Minister, through the Finance Minister, dropped the ball so badly during his so-called economic update to the point where it united all the Opposition parties to form a working Coalition to present an alternative Government to the Governor-General. Despite Conservative, and others (including my mother) hysterics and untruths this is all legal in our Westminister Parliamentary system and I'm not opposed to the Governor-General looking at all options. Mr. Harper has lost the confidence of the House of Commons and should face a vote in the House. Now that he's prorogued Parliament until January 26, 2009 maybe the Liberals can expedite their leadership convention and have a new leader in place by the time Parliament re-opens. If we get an election, so be it. Though the thought of a Coalition is compelling.



FYI - RIPP means rest in partisan pieces
