Pissing on Preston Manning

I have always thought it a matter of civility to be generous in victory and important not to be narrowly partisan. It rarely pays to be vengeful in life or to try to undo everything that has gone before.
Jean Chretien, My Years As Prime Minister, p. 31

Now Preston, I suppose it is all right to fib up the supporters behind closed doors...To tell them the things that they dream to hear. Like there is a great shift in Canada, to the right, politically. That that shift is permanent and that the data comes from an extensive survey. That is quite all right to lie to your own supporters. But Gee Whiz Preston, you got to tone the propaganda when the camera is running man! Really smart lefty people like the Oracle of Ottawa may be and usually are watching....

Now I took a run at ya yesterday, and I toned it down out of respect for a senior citizen and all. But when you showed up on Sun News TV and ruined my peaceful Sunday Morning by again making the totally baseless allegation that Canada has shifted permanently to the right, you loaded the Oracle of Ottawa's verbal and literary Ithaca pump action....

For the Manning Center of Democracy to make a claim like that would require a quite large national sample of all provinces and territories of Canada. Something like that is I think quite beyond the power of your little center. Now you can't just ask a few people at the TSC hardware store, the Shur-Gain outlet and gas station and of course the elevator in Duck's Ass, Alberta if they think Canada has shifted permanently to the right and then come to my nice clean City of Ottawa and tell me through CPAC, that what is going on in Duck"s Ass, Alberta is a national trend!  I can only conclude that you have been out in the sun too long without your Stetson on!

Now we both know that on May 02, 2011, Canada took the biggest sample survey that it could possibly take. That event was the Canadian Federal Election of 2011. It cost the Canadian people about 300 million dollars. It told us that 39.62% of Canadians have gone to the "Right". That means that 60.38% are to the Center or "Left" ! There is just no arguing with that! Now connect this to the actual fact that there was a once in 250 year planetary configuration of where all the planets of the freak'in solar system were all bunched up in one place...and you have to come to the semi-logical conclusion that your majority of a mere eleven seats was the biggest fluke of the 21st century so far! Now that that is out of the way....

Ever since the election Preston, I have been asking every Conservative I know, what is going to replace the long gun registry after you guys abolish it. Having seen the frightening blue machine in action I fully expect this promise to be kept..Every time I ask this question to a Conservative in Ontario I get a dumb glazed over look, why for a moment they all to a man and woman look like you Preston! I still have yet to receive an answer of any kind to this important question... And the people of Canada who live in large urban centers are getting nervous already. Although I fully expect that out in Hooter Tit Hills, Alberta there will be much celebrating....

Why even the first jokes about the abolished long gun registry are beginning to circulate! Here goes...

A young OPP cop out in rural Perth Ontario gets sent to a domestic disturbance call... Out of sheer past habit she hits her onboard computer terminal to access the address in the now gone gun registry. She see's a message on her screen as she enters the drive way that it is none of her damn business what guns are at the residence but to be very polite because the family has voted Conservative in the last five Federal Elections....

Out West I guess this would be funny....But to those of use that watched Senator Irving Gerstein's address to the Tory Convention last Saturday, where upon he bragged on and on about how cheaply the Conservative Party could run a computer database that knows the location of every Conservative voter in Canada, I and my fellow Lefty Canadians can only wonder in dumbfounded amazement that the Conservatives can track every voter in Canada for a song, but not those that own firearms..... Please advise Preston....

Some times you have to be a Vigilante Man.....and realize that a long-gun registry can save a lot of lives and has done so since its introduction.
