Diane and Brian; Wankers of a Feather…Spot the Hypocrisies!

Diane Finley and of course, a darling of  Sun Media, Brian Lilley both railing on women, children and the idea of national day care program. They both not only spin and spin, but they do it in such an offensive way with (as Canadian Cynic would say, paraphrased), all the wingnutty crunchy goodness they could muster. Remember boys ‘n’ girls, these are the same folks who were deeply offended over that whole ‘beer and popcorn’ remark.  Come to think of it, it, that was pretty benign compared to what Dear ol’ Diane and dear Brian came up with.

Off to you, Dear ol’ Diane, you fossil, you!

“It’s the Liberals who wanted to ensure that parents are forced to have other people raise their children. We do not believe in that,” Finley said in the Commons Thursday, the same day that Liberals were promising to revive the national program scrapped by the Conservatives five years ago this week.

Granted, she’s said worse in the past and I’m sure it won’t be the last time she sticks her foot in it neither.  Remember,this is the same heffer who had a few choice words for the unemployed, basically calling them ‘lazy’.

Wingnut columnist and Sun Media darling, Brian Lilley, meanwhile, basically  called Canadian women a bunch of  ingrates, sayin’ that we’re getting more money from the feds these days, yet we’re still unhappy with ‘em and for the life of this dear wingnut, he just can’t figure out why. Ok, he said the Grits thought we were worse off, but I’ll bet it’s safe to assume that many women who aren’t even Liberal supporters would agree with the assertion that the Harpercons have indeed made life more difficult for us.  Hell, look who Brian uses as an example. Ever hear of Andrea Mrozek, manager of research and communications for the Institute of Marriage and Family (also of prowomanprolife.org - yes, also a fetus fetishist estraordinaire, just like Brian Lilley!)?  The ideal representative of modern Canadian middle-income women, indeed!

Mrozek said her research and that of others shows government-run daycare centres are not the first choice of parents, most of whom would prefer to have a parent stay home with their children.

“It is not something that is family friendly, it is not something that parents want,” said Mrozek. “That is the Liberal approach but they shouldn’t claim that it represents all women across the country.”

Yes, Brian Lilley, using Maria Von Trapp’s evul twin as a representative of Canadian women is hardly biased. Keep it up, ol’ chappy!

And of course, Rona Ambrose, still pulling double duty in  Harpercon cabinet (hey!  in the last ‘shufflette’, how come Steve didn’t assign a new minister of state for status of women? Goes to show how important the status of women is to Stevie Spiteful, doesn’t it?) must chime in:

Ambrose said that far from neglecting women on this issue, the Harper government is supporting the differing needs of today’s families.

“I listen to women and what women tell me across the country is that they want choice,” Ambrose told QMI Agency. “Women want a government that supports the flexibility that they need in their lives.”

I dunno, Rona, you’re really starting to show yourself for the disaster you were as environment minister.  Let’s talk about that choice your master offered, shall we? That 100$ per month is taxable and as I’ve been told, it comes out to a mere 60$ per month.  That does not even cover our Quebec 7$/day day care for two weeks! Hell, bratty teen-agers charge more than that to babysit!  So, what choice would that be? Rona, Diane, Brian..please…anyone, feel free to jump in here…The choice to have a stay at home parent? Those days are long gone for the majority of folks, especially since housing costs eats away at the monthly income of most.

I wonder if Brian Lilley’s wife works?  To read or hear his drivel, perhaps not, particularly if he entertains bible thumpers like Mrozek often enough.

As for Dear ol’ Di, Rona, Andrea and others like them, how dare you condescend to other women, telling them they should stay home instead of going out to work to bring in a much needed second income to put food on the table  or put clothes on their childrens’ backs while you all get paid a 6-figure salary to be all, well, patriarchal.   And Dear ol’ Di, we know you don’t really need to work (financially speaking), given your hubby earns a 6-figure senator salary, as ‘catastrophically’ low as it may be ( eh Larry?).   Spot the hypocrisy boy ‘n’ girls.

You say the Liberals are forcing families to allow others to raise their kids. Does that mean kids shouldn’t go to school anymore neither?

No, it isn’t the Liberals taking away choices for child care, if anything (provided his  program ever does see the light of day, of course), a national child care program simply adds another choice for the  lower income to middle class earners. If anything, it is the Harpercons who are removing choice, forcing families to have one parent, usually the woman, to stay home, thus forcing them to live with much lower incomes because affordable child care isn’t available to the working and middle classes.

Just a question, Di, doesn’t that make the stay at home parent ‘lazy’ as you put it way back in 2009?

As for you, Brian, keep on truckin’ with those she dinosaurs…I think Ms Mrozek is busy somewhere fixing Stock ‘Doris’ Day’s brontosaurus burgers.

And Rona, I am pleased to inform you that your favourite author, Ayn Rand, couldn’t even attain the lifestyle she preached to others as she ended up requiring the help of evul social workers and having to go on the dole, taking out social security and medicare.

I still don’t get why she-blogging supposiTories like Hunter, Jojo Blue Like You, Frmgrl and their snotty ilk still think Stevie Spiteful is sooo dreamy and why his merry patriarchal band is so great for women.  

As for the rest of Canadian women living in the 21st century,  if you don’t want to be held back, it’s really time to consider an anybody but Harper round of voting come the next election, which will surely come this spring.
