Reactionaries

You think it would be good news that the military stopped prisoner transfers. The very thought of transferring prisoners to Afghan authorities was so abhorrent to anyone left of the Conservatives, that they seemed to forget about every other issue of the war, and, with unrelenting enthusiasm, the lefties pursued the issue like a mother coming for her hurt baby across a crowded banquet hall.

Here at one of my favourite lefty blog you see the attitude perfectly.

The CBC's The Current, had a guest yesterday to talk about this very subject. He was Law Professor, Amir Attaran, eminent and acclaimed expert on all things government and war. His indignation at our deceitful murderous regime of a government was plain to hear through his nasally, increasingly high-pitched, voice. To paraphrase; "The government stopped prisoner transfers months ago!" The rest is what you'd expect from a born activist. The innocent child-like prisoners, the poor ignorant hapless Canadian soldiers, and, of course, you can't have a conversation with a lefty without hearing about our old standby, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In fact, Mr. Attaran claims that what Canada did is "worse" than Guantanamo Bay. That's right, suspending prisoner transfers, not advertising the fact, and then not clarifying where the prisoners are now going, is worse than a five star prison resort. Actually not all that damning when you think about it.

I think they want a big prisoner torturing scandal. They want all those Taliban to get tortured in the worst possible way and then they want the West to lose everything we've gained in the mid-east. They love failure.

This is how the humourless revolutionaries think; anything the government does deserves a knee-jerk reaction because the government is the hated conservatives and we need to politicize every little issue so that we can get rid of them. Anything Mark Steyn does deserves an HRC because I'm not a very funny writer and no one recognizes that I'm an "ass-kicker." The
problem with the left is they all want to be John Lennon and lead a hippie revolution.
