These two have promising careers at Fox News ahead of them.

And being a conservative means being a down-home, football-loving, cheerleader-ogling, racist, homophobic, Bible-thumping, flag-waving, capitalist. And actually, true Liberals fight to try to make those that DESERVE money and don't have it get it. Pig of a man, you are.

Tasha is excellent!

Being a liberal today means that you want a handout, that you hate those who worked for what they have, that you subscribe to the ideals of socialism and egalitarianism. Yes, being a liberal today means that you want to see the jihadists win and that you are a secular progressive who believes in big government and punitive tax rates. Today, liberals are queers and misfits and anyone who is proud to be a liberal has likely been treated for mental illness at some point in their life.

"If by a 'liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a 'liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a liberal." --John F. Kennedy, 1960

You two did a good job. As for the comment about Mercer getting paid to be a Liberal, I will say, I consider Mercer to be a commentator, and if he has a slant it doesn't matter because he does make the CBC money with his show (unlike a lot of other programming they have). Nonetheless, solid interview, much appreciated, and i will check out your blog. Keep it up.

[vsutton1964]

yeah Mercer is funny alright, but in a very tragic sort of way. He behaves like he's recovering from a head injury.

propably it is the only use of the labor word where it is with out a "u". All our others are with "u", e.g. harbour, child labour, labour pains, etc...

[jchiapet]

no, here in le canada, the liberals would sort of be like australia's labor party, but the party is still predominantly white... i don't think they're rednecks, but their logo and electoral colour is red... why do you guys spell labor without a 'u'?
