The question is, was it over-stepping of me to suggest that a Catholic voting for Obama was a sin? Okay, well, with St. Thomas, I will grant you that hopelessly stupid Catholics could possibly be exempted from the pain of sin here. Also, a case could be made that Catholics who are invincibly ignorant (that is really, really clueless through no choice of their own and completely unaware of the gifts available to them to inform their consciences through the compassionate light of the Holy Spirit as it speaks through the teaching authority of the Church) could also escape responsibility in this matter. So, if you, Catholic for Obama are either of these, hopelessly stupid or invincibly ignorant, you would possibly not be flirting with grievously sinful behavior by voting for Obama, and I would feel compelled to apologize to you for suggesting it. Of course, you would then probably also be too stupid or ignorant to understand my apology, but hey, that would be a matter, say, above my pay grade to correct.

A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

It is a well known fact that Canada tends to be a leftist country.  Canada is a country admired by a lot of left wing nuts; Michael Moore to name just one.  So why is it that the Conservatives are going to win and perhaps win a majority?

Well the answer is quite simple.  The left is in a state of chaos.  There is three left leaning parties in this country.  Poor Liberals will not win sits because the left vote will be split between them, the NDP’s and now the Greens.  The Conservatives are loving this!  It will likely lead to a majority Conservative government, and that would be OK with me. 

On another topic.  I am shocked how incredibly poor the online presence of the candidates is, at least in my area.  I don’t want to be a mindless zombie that just votes for a party.  I vote for my MP and it is very important to have all the information about the candidate available to me.  Why put up a blog and put “Coming Soon…”  on it!?  It just amazes me. 

Anyhow, I’m looking forward to the debate on Thursday.  That is if I don’t watch the US debate.  Sad…
