Smackdown: Harper on conservatives claiming to be centrist….like Andrew Scheer…and it’s not good for Scheer
I saw a meme which had a comment from current Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer about being Centrist and then had a quote by former Conservative Party of Canada leader (and Prime Minister) Stephen Harper about conservatives claiming to be centrist and I thought it was very astute but wanted to fact check. And lo and behold, it was pretty much true. I have linked to the Toronto Sun article interviewing Andrew Scheer and Ben Shapiro interviewing Stephen Harper and ummm…did Harper hand Scheer a Smackdown?
Voters will have a clear choice: Scheer ; November 3rd, 2018
““We have an opportunity to say that we are a pragmatic centrist party with room for lots of different views on lots of different issues…”
~Andrew Scheer
Then on the Sunday Special with Ben Shapiro a mere 2 weeks later on November 18th, 2018, at the 5:55 mark of the interview Stephen Harper says this:
“..often you will see the same things happen in Canada, ‘I’m a pragmatist, I’m a centrist’, and of course coming from the mouth of a conservative often means they are actually left of centre but somehow want to be in a conservative party.”
You can view it by clicking the on the video below and the response is at the 5:55 mark. (You can see the conversation with the question starting at the 4:46 mark.)
So does Andrew Scheer have a problem? Most conservatives are huge fans of Stephen Harper so I would say yes. He is OfficiallyScrewed.

“The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.”

“I haven’t left my house in days. I watch the news channels incessantly. All the news stories are about the election; all the commercials are Viagra and Cialis. Election, erection, election, erection!
Either way we’re screwed!”
Nice.

Biden has foot in mouth disease…again.
“I’m proud to be president of the United States,” Biden told his supporters at the Iowa State Society inauguration ball yesterday.
I am just curious if all those people who called Dubya a moron are feeling the same about Biden? In any case, Biden is one officiallyscrewed up VICE President.

I couldn’t agree more.
A perfect analysis of the Flea Party occupying Wall Street and Bay Street
Exhibit C. To the villainy-of-the-rich theme emanating from Washington, a child is born: Occupy Wall Street. Starbucks-sipping, Levi’s-clad, iPhone-clutching protesters denounce corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs, corporate titan, billionaire eight times over.
These indignant indolents saddled with their $50,000 student loans and English degrees have decided that their lack of gainful employment is rooted in the malice of the millionaires on whose homes they are now marching — to the applause of Democrats suffering acute Tea Party envy and now salivating at the energy these big-government anarchists will presumably give their cause.
Except that the real Tea Party actually had a program — less government, less regulation, less taxation, less debt. What’s the Occupy Wall Street program? Eat the rich.
The whole article is a must read by the smartest man in Washington, Charles Krauthammer
