I’ve been reading Thomas Frank’s latest book, The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule. And I couldn’t have chosen a better book to get a hold on what’s currently happening with world economies. From a reason as to why it’s happening. But, more importantly, what small-minded American “wingers” have, in fact, done.
Why should I care? Well a few days ago I heard about our “leader,” Steven Harper, giving a speech supporting “Dubya’s” insane motives to invade Iraq. As troubling as that is, it’s not the most concerning aspect of this story. Turns out Harper, when leader of the Canadian Alliance, gave the exact same speech, three days later, word for word, as Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard.
I think it goes without saying that I expected it. But it goes deeper. Much deeper. Conspiracy theories aside, seems to me, that his “Conservative” ploy is just a front for more sinister motives…
