The Best Defence

The best defense is a good offense.  Its an old saying that you've probably heard before and its still true.

There hasn't been any serious offense yet, but its coming.  Very soon after Stephen Harper's Conservative victory there was a hint of what the enemy is going to do next.  It came from Heather Mallick and it was the same vile old hatred we are all used to.

Hatred is the default position of those on the left wing.  It is their true character.  It comes out when they are roundly beaten as they have been.  Intolerance and a cheating insubordinate attitude to the mutually agreed process is the natural recourse to an ideology that is naturally geared to "Social Justice."  To demand "Social Justice" presupposes that there is some injustice already.  There is always some imagined injustice that gives them the moral justification to lie and cheat in the name of their cause-de-jour.  The supposed injustice in our case is the loss of the election by the combined left.

Evidence for the extra-legal counter attack to the shame of losing so badly to Stephen Harper is already beginning to accumulate.

We have the Page firing.  A silly girl, Bridgette DePape, smuggled a "Stop Harper" sign into the Senate for the Throne Speech.  She made a statement with the signature of left wing blindness requesting that Canadians rise up in an Arab Spring.  Where have we heard that before?  Canada is arguably the freest and most prosperous country in the world, but the left thinks we would be better off with a military junta that tortures, rapes, and sexually abuses its 'free' people.  

Then we have Lulz and the hack attacks against the Conservative party, possibly Elections Canada and Husky.  The malicious story about the Prime Minister had a lot of people worried and a lot of leftards celebrating.  This isn't the first time they have done this.  Recall the attacks against Canada during the Copenhagen summit a few years ago.  They posted a fake story about the fake climate scare and I dare say it back fired.  The fake story about the Prime Ministers hospitalization has also backfired because he is anything but wounded.    Leftlings dreaming of harm on our Prime Minister will have a rude awakening to reality.  In fact it should wake the Tory base up.  The enemy is alive and the tactics going to get ugly.

The reason I'm pointing this out is because its just the beginning.   I don't have all the answers but I do know the enemy's game plan.  I don't even think they know their own game plan.  Ugliness is their natural state and they will sort themselves out like grains of sand on a beach (wave action sorts sand grains by size and weight).  They will slowly align due to what Brian Liley has been calling Harper Derangement Syndrome.

The game plan is hate.  They have done it before.  We've seen it.  The obvious examples are Brian Mulroney and George W. Bush.  Both of them have made mistakes but neither of them deserved the venom and derision leveled at them by a hostile media, unions, and the rest of the useful idiots.   

I don't know what the best course of action is, but we can't just sit back and wait.  We can't play defense alone and expect to win.  Take the hacking incident for example.  Much more work is involved in building and maintaining a website than there is in vandalizing it.  The age old equation between arms and armor always favors arms.  A deeper bunker or thicker walls will always yield to a bigger bomb.  We see this in nature as well as warfare and I believe it applies to politics as well.

We need to take the fight to the enemy.  Seize the initiative.  Its better if the media is talking about what the government did or said, than what some child or petty vandals did to the government.  The election was the easy part.  Conservatives won the war.  Conservatives can win the peace if they can keep the offense on the field; their hands firmly on the ball.
