The Liberals In My Life.

The election is over, the Conservatives won a very strong minority in tough economic times, that is important, because usually the party in power gets blamed, it didn't happen this time. Why not? I think PM Harper was correct, Canada has always been conservative, people have just been fooled into thinking they are liberal.

Let me give you three examples of Liberals in my life.

Liberal #1, My Mom and Dad.

Staunch Catholics, Dad was the Grand Knight in his area. They hate abortion, they believe drugs are bad, they think people who stray in their marriage have no morals. Everything they believe in is conservative. Yet they vote Liberal. Why? My Dad got a good civil servant job when Trudeau was in power, he thinks he owes loyalty to the Liberals forever. My Mom told me today that PM Harper had wasted the 12 Billion surplus and now we had no backup.

Liberal #2, My Neighbour.

We have had a neighbourhood barbecue for a few years, for the last two, our MP has shown up to talk to us, and enjoy the evening. Everyone welcomes him, and we all have a great time.

Today my neighbour walked over to discuss our Halloween decorations, (we go all out, pictures will be posted, but don't look in the coffin!!) he finally revealed his political leaning, he's a Liberal. Most important, he revealed he did not vote. As a Liberal, he had no party he could vote for, so he stayed home.

Liberal #3, A Work Mate.

Just before the election was called, he was spouting off about how the Conservatives had run out of steam, they had no good ideas, they had only a 5 point plan and seeing as they had accomplished most of those 5 points, they were now out of ideas. He is one of the most arrogant people I know. He ran for the school council and lost. Last time I saw him, his shoulders were slumped and he was muttering to himself. Another workmate was celebrating the fact that Rahim Jaffer was unemployed when he got married. He even posted it on his facebook site to gloat about it.

These are the Liberals in my life, uncaring, delusional, and most importantly, they refuse to accept they fact that the party they support is old, tired and can't tell you what "liberal values" really are, or how Liberals would make our lives better. But like the little robots they are, they vote Liberal, no thought, no responsibility, no facts required.

I enjoy the Liberals in my life, but they are not grounded in reality. Sorry Mom and Dad, but you are just behind the times, I still love you though.
