Stephen Harper: The Law and Disorder Prime Minister

The more I witness Harper operate, the more I cringe. Little, very little is left of the man I voted for ... he has now become the most cynical of political hacks ... where there is hardly a principle he won't "deep six" in order to get what he wants. Like Obama, every single thing that passes from his lips has a very limited shelf-life. Harper was elected by a base ... a base which he now completely and totally takes for granted and to whom he tosses a bone now and then like one would to a neglected dog. And the base, like a neglected dog, piddles with glee.  Not me.

The latest is just another point of evidence that our PM is not who we thought he was. Read the following piece and if you aren't familiar with the writer, let me make it clear that he is one of the more cerebral and reasonable among us ... not a peddler of shrill polemics but one who having supported Mr. Harper is now judging the PM by what he "DOES", not by what one may hope he is, nor by what he once falsely claimed to be.

Gods of the Copybook Headings:

In his four years in power the Prime Minister has sold Canadian conservatives a false bill of goods. He has promised us greater freedom from the state, a fight against crime and a strong defence of Canadian sovereignty. In supporting Julian Fantino for Parliament he has again failed to live up to his promises.

Yes, that Fantino.

For those piddling neglected dogs in the base who so eagerly bark and growl in defence of their abusive master ... before you toss out your tired excuses which will surely include something about "the reality of minority government", "that bad liberal media" or "GTA voters", let me utter one word ... FORD.
