"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

Quote Of The Day

An acquaintance of mine from BC, who goes by the web pseudonym of Foxer on one of the many forums I drift around on, had this to say about the Liberal Party in a weblog earlier today:

"The thing that gets missed here in my mind is that most people have an ideal, then form a party around it. The liberals have a party, and are now looking for an ideal they can sell and get back into power.

The difference - the libs are all about power while the other two are all about vision. That's what makes the libs dangerous - they'll be anything you want them to be.. today, if you vote for them, if it'll get them back into power. Then they'll tell you what you want while they take your money."

Interesting, I've thought that for years. They lick their finger, stick it in the air and decide what they believe. I even went to so far as to say that Liberals have no soul in a group once, which obviously in mixed company didn't go over that well. Although I think this has become a more mainstream opinion since adscam. Where was Foxer's comment posted?

CGN, in "Congregators" - A Canadian firearms enthusiast's website, that as you might expect, has no great love for the Liberal party.
