CALL AND RESPONSE

Oaths: Violated and Uttered

The news out of the upper crust of our sacred health care monopoly is that certain doctors are hoarding flu vaccine for their families in case of a massive outbreak, a pandemic so to speak. It seems that the pandemic of blind, vapid immorality is already upon us here in Canada. The hypocrisy of those hoarders who have taken the Hippocratic Oath is utterly contemptible. In fact it smacks of the crude, brutal elitism that the Soviets got away with for years while forcing the ordinary citizens of the USSR to worship forcibly at the profane altar of Marxism.

The casual acceptance of unfair advantage is immorality incarnate. Liberals practice it to odious perfection in Ottawa every day. Spending millions of taxpayers' dollars on their sleazy campaigners in Quebec is apparently balanced out, if not eclipsed, by Conservative leader Stephen Harper's purported surly response to such an obvious outrage. It must be so since the media choir tell us nightly of the Liberals' alchemic inversions of reality . That is only when they can drag themselves away from asserting earnestly that Canadians embrace the crumbling health care monopoly, down to the last shared hypodermic, as some wit said recently.

The altar in Ottawa is one of self-interest masked and painted as one of the heavenly virtues. Paul Martin and Jack Layton grin together in celebration of another victory over the Conservatives in the budget debate. They are celebrating the desperately contorted perpetuation of their own version of the Geezer Rock that Martin's critic, Sir Bob Geldof is foisting on the world in July. The days of arena rock and mullet-headed boy bimbos are over and so is the era of pretentious big spending political pomposities.

This summer is time for Canadians to take stock of the differences between a serious, informed and modern Stephen Harper as compared to the tag team of corporate pop mediocrities doing business as 'The Martin-Layton Mainline Spenders'.
