Here a Shut, There a F#@k, Everywhere an Up, Up..

I’ve finally figured out how I’m going to get filthy, stinking rich.  I deserve it of course, for being the sunshiny kind of guy that I am.  I’m going to find a company that manufactures corks for flapping, leftist pieholes, and sink every penny I’ve got into it.  Recent events have proven to me that it’ll be a goldmine.

We’ll start off with the reddest Tory in the Chamber of Somnambulant Second Thought: the Senator formerly known by the Rowell-Jackman sur-monicker but now going, Roseanne-esque, by only the given names of Nancy Ruth.  Count Igula - likely following Frank Graves’ advice about setting off a culture war - recently tried his damnedest to drag out the abortion issue and run a few volts through the bolts in its neck.  (Apparently, it didn’t occur to Iffy that it might not be such a great idea to take strategic advice from a guy whose name sounds so much like the unfortunate bugger on the right. Go on, Iggy, grab the cables; you’ll be fine)  Well, that didn’t work out too well.  Harper pretty much gave him the Dion treatment and dared Ignatieff to huff, puff and blow the house down and now Nancy has some advice for the screeching chior of the infanticide congregation:  STFU.

“We’ve got five weeks or whatever left until G-8 starts. Shut the f— up on this issue,” Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth told a group of international-development advocates who gathered on Parliament Hill on Monday to sound the alarm about Canada’s hard-right stand against abortion in foreign aid.

“If you push it, there will be more backlash,” said Ruth, who fears that outrage will push her boss, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to take further measures against abortion and family planning – abroad, or maybe even in Canada. “This is now a political football. This is not about women’s health in this country.”

Dang, who’da thunk that, eh?  Even the uberfeminist kook that tried to bugger with the national anthem has figured out that beating conservatives over the head with the babykilling stick just ain’t gonna work no more.

Some might be wondering why Harper, who has so far treated abortion like the political third rail it’s historically been in Canada for the past few decades, would suddenly opt to take such an apparently risky stance.  It’s really not that big of a mystery at all.  Every time some kook on the left starts yodeling about the Tories “hidden agenda to abort Canada’s abortion law,” it merely reminds the rest of us that Canada has no damned abortion law at all.

And quite frankly, the average Canuck is getting sick and tired of being hectored by these shrill twits (is that he right vowel?) and would like nothing better than to see them forced to pull their snouts out of the public trough and support their bloodthirsty agenda with their own damn money.  If Iggy really thinks he wants to fight an election over whether Canada should be the world’s abortion clinic, he’ll get his ass handed to him and we’ll finally see a Harper majority on the Hill.  Nancy clearly has this figured out.

Look for the usual suspects to make the usual hysterical noises.  Look also for more and more of the rest of us turning away from their hypocrisy in disgust, along with the axe continuing to be taken to more and more of the political left’s pet social engineering projects.  Even Susan Delecourt’s figured out that the gloves are starting to itch:

Think about that for a bit — serious people,  who understand this government and this prime minister,  are telling folks  that he’s a vengeful sort. Hey, nice guys finish last. Look what happened to Stephane Dion.

Next up on the STFU Hit Parade®, we have the bad news that little Dickie Warman got in his latest tilt at the Freedom of Speech Windmill: Up yours, Dick.  As True Blue put it, in my email box:

Seems, a REAL Court with REAL Judges & REAL rules was a tougher sell for Warman & his ever wounded feelings than has been the case in the make believe` Human Rights ‘  venues run by his kangaroo pals, eh ?

(On a side note, it seems that even Lavant hasn’t had anything to day on this yet.  Looks like I’m better than Ezra again. )

Then there’s Iggy getting in hot water for flapping his gums about whether the Governor-General’s term should be extended.  And the Liberals’ status of women critic, Anita Neville, getting her words twisted around by her own party in a press release.

Ah, remember the good ol’ days when it was the Conservatives who used to get into trouble for not shutting up?  Yeah, me too.

I’m in such a jolly moss, as a matter of fact, that I’m going to let Delecourt have the last word today.  (No, really; I am)

So, to recap what we learned yesterday: if you have something to say in politics, make sure you don’t tick off the Prime Minister, make sure you’re not talking about the governor-general and for heaven’s sake, avoid nuance. In other words, it’s probably best to shut the f— up.

Doesn’t that just sound soooooo nice?  I’m gonna have a beer now…
