Petty Bureaucrats And Their Kingdoms!

I understand that some foreign aid is necessary, but should it be politically motivated? Do you only give money to those countries that will support your country at the UN? Do you only support those countries that have the same values as your country? Should countries ruled by dictators receive any taxpayer funds? How do you monitor how your funds are spent? Should lefty activists hiding behind Christian organizations while supporting terrorist organizations be cut off?

The stink raised in the media about Bev Oda's "not" was a good indication of how lefty organizations use the media to cry about funding cuts. Fortunately these organizations are now going to have to become results oriented instead of just lobby groups looking to fill their pockets with taxpayers goodies.

Gone are the days when funding to foreign aid groups is automatic. Now that the Conservatives have a majority, I expect that these organizations will be looked at before they get any funding. I don't mind helping people who need it. What I do mind is organizations that have become parasites, sucking up taxpayer money for their own benefit, without actually helping any of the people they supposedly feel so bad about.

The US is in the same position, do they continue to throw money at countries that hate them?

Years ago, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton proposed cutting off all aid to the 30 nations who consistently voted against the U.S. in the UN. Before him, President Reagan's U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick proposed cutting off $1 million in aid for each vote an aid recipient cast against the U.S. in the U.N. In both cases, Bolton says the State Department overruled them.
"Foreign aid to a lot of countries could be readily cut and I think it's been a mistake by the U.S. government for decades not to take U.N. voting into account," Bolton said Monday.

So, it is the bureaucrats that have the power, not the politicians, that is why Bev Oda was put through the wringer. Petty government workers do not want their little kingdoms changed or challenged.  Let's change how Ottawa works, listen to the Ministers, not the bureaucrats. Give foreign aid to those countries that are working towards democracy and the rule of law. Cut off funding to dictatorships and countries that refuse to use the money to actually help their own citizens. Cut the funding, help our disabled first. The NDP should be happy with voting for that initiative. 

 

Coalition Cries "Contempt"! YAWN

It fell pretty flat didn't it? Really, the coalition were all prepared for shocked gasps and wringing of Conservative hands, and they got nothing. Yawn. What did they expect?

The Conservatives didn't release some cost numbers, and that is worthy of the FIRST contempt of Parliament ever? They look like idiots. Worse for them, they look like partisan coalition members using their majority in committee to create another "scandal". Give it a rest.

I hear that NDP MP Pat Martin is backpedaling about finding Minister Oda in contempt, why?

The NDP MP has taken a lot of heat for his behaviour Friday. He’s been called a bully and even “sexist,” which he says he profoundly resents. “I think it’s sexist to treat a minister with kid gloves just because she's a woman,” he said. Although Mr. Martin was brought in to question the minister – he says he was “riding shotgun” – he is not part of the committee’s deliberations.

Dang, who would have called him sexist, after his attack on two female Conservative MP's? I know for sure I called him a bully. He was disrespectful of a Minister of the Crown and now he's whining about taking some heat for it? BOO HOO!Was he reading the Blogging Tories this weekend? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You say it, you better be prepared to get called on it! Immunity or not.

Out of all the posts and videos this weekend, the most important of all is this one by Sandy.

If ever Canadians needed proof of a Liberal entitlement culture in certain scholarly and foreign aid circles in this country, this CIC article says far more than I ever could. See also the original piece at the “Embassy” magazine site as well, although you have to be a paid subscriber to get the whole article. Whatever the case, it shows that CIDA public servants have a lot of explaining to do. Titled “CIDA revamp models coming fast amidst fear, anger over Tory plan,” it clearly shows what started and is the driving force behind the witch hunt and faux scandal against Conservative Government International Affairs Minister Bev Oda.
........

“But while each proposal has its own specific vision and focus, the consensus is that these plans aren’t being developed for the current government. Rather, they are being crafted for future governments interested in undoing what many feel is the damage being caused by the Conservatives.”

“After their presentation at the University of Ottawa, the two men were invited to CIDA for the afternoon where they met with senior managers as well as representatives from IDRC, the Finance department and other officials.”

Well, well, could the snivel servants be behind the faux outrage of the lefties towards Minister Oda? Undoing the damage being caused by the Conservatives? If CIDA, created by Mo Strong, wants to see undoing of damage, how about we cancel them, as a useless lefty special interest group? HA!

“‘I think there is this desire to get past the Conservative years,’ says Mr. Pearson. ‘That’s what I’m hearing more and more from everybody, including international development folks, in ministries overseas. Let’s get past the Conservative years and let’s develop a model where Canada can re-engage once the Conservatives are gone.’”

Get past the Conservative years? HA! Oh, those poor lefties, wishing for days gone by, where they got everything they wanted on the taxpayer dime. Maybe these special interest groups should get a real job, and stop sucking at the taxpayer teat.

What is most disturbing about this article is the sense of entitlement to our tax dollars without any need to justify the theft. KAIROS is not entitled to our tax dollars. Maybe they should start working for the funds they need. Have a bake sale.

Coalition cries "contempt"? I cry entitlement by special interest groups. Shut the tap off!

Wrap Up Of The Bully Boys In All Their Glory

I'm in shock that the opposition coalition thinks they can get away with verbal abuse of a Minister, especially a female minority Minister, but they have no class, and no honour. I hope voters in their ridings make them pay.

The opposition has the majority on committees, and can stop any Conservative policy they want. They can play silly political games, and they do, at every opportunity they get. They have crossed the line on many occasions, but this is not the time to play those silly partisan games. Claiming a Minister is in contempt of Parliament is serious, but the bully boys are thinking election, not about what is best for Canada. They do not care about Canada, they just want power and they can taste a coalition that would allow them to run Canada into the ground.

Watch these characters, they show no respect for a Minister. They do not respect females or minorities. Look at the table of white old men attacking a female minority MP. That is how other females will see it. So much for the NDP and their fight for female equality.



Bully boys. If they find Bev Oda in contempt of Parliament, they are only showing how much they hate anything Conservative. Minister Oda should sue the butts off of these old men.

It's time for a majority, so that the government can actually get things done. If the opposition are so bankrupt that they need to charge a Minister with contempt to try and win votes, they deserve to be punted out of their pension rich seats.

The Liberals better be careful, because if they ever get a minority, the same thing can happen to them, but they aren't smart enough to think two steps ahead now are they?

Martin and McGuinty, Bully Boys!

Don't have the time to watch everything that went on in the committee? Well, here are two videos, compare and contrast the difference.



Finally, after two hours of the opposition interrupting Minister Oda, she gets a chance to clearly explain the FACTS!



A witch hunt is occurring, put on by the the opposition coalition, and it is disgusting. I hope voters understand that it is the opposition who are in contempt of Parliament. I also hope that you email Speaker Peter Milliken and tell him to stop this outrage.

NDP MP Pat Martin, Check Your Meds!

Jack Layton obviously thinks Pat Martin is doing a good job because he appointed him to go and disrupt the committee. The thing is that Martin not only attacked Bev Oda, he attacked all women watching the proceedings. Some women actually felt sick at his verbal abuse of Bev Oda.



What can be said about this MP except check your meds? Why are the opposition acting like 2 year olds? It appears that the CIDA is behind this mess. Some public servant heads should be clued in, they gat paid with our tav dollars and should be accountable to us, the givers of funds.

A very interesting article at Crux of The Matter makes me believe that the Liberal NGO's and public servants are trying to take down this government because they are getting their goodies taken away.

Bev Oda Unedited!

If you haven't seen the committee meetings, here is Bev Oda's opening statement, unedited.



If the opposition claim she is in contempt of Parliament, they are the ones who will look like idiots!

Now, I have more editing of videos of Pat Martin to get to, watch for more on the lame opposition and the angry Pat Martin, coming soon to this blog!
