That, from Harper Industry Minister and Harper MP for Port Moody, James Moore when questioned on the embarrassing levels of child poverty in British Columbia.
The only words that don't fail me are, Fucking selfish ... greedy ... scumbag. Typical bloody-minded right-wing puke. Charles Dickens wrote books about people like James Moore.
UPDATE: Moore is now claiming he was taken out of context. Sara Norman, who was interviewing him at the time, has something different to say about Moore's rushing to his own defence. So ... you need to hear it for yourself. Off to The Gazeteer with you where you'll hear the whole context and understand that my description of Harper government minister, James Moore need not be altered.
Moore would watch Canadian children starve in the street.
A tail dragging romp through the swamps of the world
The audio is even more damning. Wait for the little chuckle at the end.
ReplyDeleteScum.

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
Except...
In my opinion it was said with both a smirk AND a chuckle/laugh.
.
Another damning point is Moore's insistence on how much Canada's wealth, prosperity, and economic stability have increased. That makes all the more reason to feed the poor and help them out of the mire of poverty. THAT is a Canadian value, not the Con's "I've got mine, so fuck you" world view...
ReplyDeleteN.
It's the same attitude/ideology that lets them tell the veterans they send to war to fuck off. Everyone is an individual, there is no society, no one has any responsibility or obligation to anyone but themselves beyond immediate loyalties. It's really a disgusting way of looking at the world, but more to the point it ultimately leads to nowhere but disorder and social disintegration. The logical endstate is some kind of brutal anarchy. Some fuck like Moore wouldn't last ten minutes in that kind of world. The only reason he survives now is because groups of people work together to maintain his status.
ReplyDeleteRaises the question: How can anyone be so stupid as to elect someone who thinks like that, to govern them? I mean, even if I thought like that, I wouldn't want the person in charge of my/public money to be someone who also thought like that. They'd take all my stuff and give nothing back, why would I want that?
ReplyDeletethis is so offensive, but so revealing. Let them starve to make a better Canada. FUYKWSO

I don't think any of you are ready to face the fact that rural canada is almost certainly going to re-elect these arseholes.
ReplyDeleteThey'll have almost nothing in urban centres other than Alberta and the 905 in hillbilly Ontario and yet they'll still have enough seats to FUBAR canada.
Frankly, and this will almost certainly draw some attention to my sorry old ass, the only real remedy we have is 789048953 8IR90588U489293847 48930398 449589034985884063737.

ReplyDeleteI agree Dana, there is no better example of a "hated" government winning an election than CC's so-called BC liberals. Unless some of the opposition start using some of harper's boiz tactics against them, they're hooped. You can't win being nice and if you don't define your opponent, they will define you.
I have come to believe that Objectivists, Right Libertarians, and so-called "conservatives" of that ilk are literally, actually clinical sociopaths. There is simply no other explanation.

ReplyDelete“These proposals included cries for billions of new money for social assistance in the name of “child poverty” and for more business subsidies in the name of “cultural identity”. In both cases I was sought out as a rare public figure to oppose such projects.” - Stephen Harper (1)
