Before we clean the Liberals clock at the polls, I'd like to smash the greed myth into its constituent elements.
Lefties seem to think that Capitalism is greed. They believe that self-interest, the universal motivator, is actually greed. Because they label it greed they believe that it is bad. To be interested in ones self and well being is wrong in their view. If that were true the Soviet Union would have had no crime at all.
We can play this game too. If Capitalism is Greed then surely Socialism is Envy and Sloth rolled into one. Capitalism and Socialism are none of these things. The classic cardinal virtues and sins are the usual works of a fair or wicked heart. They have nothing whatsoever to do with the style of Government a person may live in.
The opposite of greed is charity and charity cannot be coerced. There is no goodness in the act of giving when one is forced to give. Charity is only charity when it is freely given. The idea that taxes are charity is ridiculous. Taxes are involuntary and therefore show nothing of your character. The good and the evil are both required to pay. Is an evil man good if he pays taxes? Can a good man claim any more responsibility for a government handout than for a wrongful conviction?
I'm sure you could find socialists and capitalists that display all 7 sins or virtues. In fact there is just as much or more greed to be found in China or Cuba as you could find anywhere else. The charity found in the United States dwarfs that of all other countries.
Lets just put another socialist mind trick in the bio-hazard bin shall we? Capitalism is not greed and Socialism is no virtue. One idea favors individualism while the other favors collectivism. One idea draws ingenuity from chaos while making new ideas nimble and efficient. The other seeks order and security through homogeneity and routine. One evolves while the other stagnates. One is the true hope for mankind, while the other is a cage to wither the spirit of man. Capitalism is good, while Socialism is.... you know what it is.

The Biggest Losers are the NDP
The string of good polling for the Conservative Party over shadows the other story. While Liberals might be bleeding support to the CPC, the NDP seems to be bleeding support to the Liberals. The Liberal hostile take over of the left wing vote seems to be having some limited success. Its working only because they have publicly shunned their merger or Coalition.
Ignoring the big picture, its a decent move for the Liberals to disavow any knowledge of a coalition and veer left. For the NDP its stupid and suicidal. The NDP will never form a majority or minority government federally. It is simply impossible. The only hope for the NDP to ever get into government is with a Coalition.
So why haven't they been pushing the Coalition? Its strange to me. Who cares what Iggy has to say. Jack could just talk about Coalition options, what they would do for socialism when in government etc.. Canadian voters have always been more strategic than loyal on the left. True socialists suddenly supporting crony capitalists and limousine liberals in the Liberal Party is an entirely strategic shift. Whatever is going on behind closed doors, these naive socialist voters have lost faith in a coalition and lost faith in the NDP.
Tactically, the NDP should be loudly trumpeting the Coalition. Iggy is irrelevant and destined to be replaced sooner or later. Jack may as well assume the figurehead of the Coalition. If combined Liberal and NDP seats exceed the CPC through some tragedy, then wouldn't those socialist voters want the NDP to have a larger say in the Coalition? More votes to the NDP mean more seats and a stronger position in an NDP-Liberal Coalition government.
Instead they let the Liberals eat their lunch yet again. Its hilarious and incomprehensible. Maybe they are just strategically clueless, but a better analogy keeps standing up in my mind. I'm reminded of Joseph Stalin's position late in the non-aggression pact with Hitler.
During WW2 Hitler's National Socialist regime made a non-aggression pact with Stalin's Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Hitler's great double cross of invading the USSR was code named Operation Barbarossa. As the Nazis built up hundreds of thousands of troops for the invasion, the British repeatedly cabled Stalin about the impending invasion. He didn't believe them. Anything coming from the British was a trick in Stalin's view. Socialist idiot. Stalin was even given the exact date of the invasion and didn't lift a finger to stop it. Hitler even wrote about it a years prior in Mien Kempf. Just how stupid do you have to be to call yourself a socialist? The invasion was stupid, and the response to it was stupid.
The battle between the Grits and Dippers is Stupid on stupid. It's reminiscent of the Nazis and Soviets. The Conservatives in this analogy are the British. The CPC has told everybody about the Coalition. The only reason I can see that the NDP won't take advantage of a public Coalition stance is because it's the CPC exposing it. Their hatred for the CPC blinds them. They are content to be the biggest losers. It doesn't matter to me either way, but I still shake my head and laugh at the NDP.

Shout Racism
A policy of the left is to shout racism where none exists. This makes sense since the cause of racism has been appropriated by the socialists. So many initially good causes have been appropriated by socialists. Sexism, environmentalism, racism, anything that can be bent towards redistribution of wealth is used by the socialist.
Today I participated in a thread at Barrel Strength. I encourage you to read through it. A socialist shows up throwing racism comments around.
I found this clip over at The Right Scoop. Its applicable to this topic because the Tea parties have been falsely accused of racism by the left wing lame stream media.
Equality is uncontested. Socialists want more than equality, they want to take from one group and give to another group based on arbitrary reasons like race or environment or sex. To do this they must take power over both groups so that they have the ability to grant or remove rights or property. At some point Socialists end up using force to exercise their powers.
Our society already lives with a necessary evil of taxes. The socialist does not have a built in abhorrence for large government. Taxes are readily used by socialists to extend the scope of government in limitless directions. The goal is to take the individuals means of exerting power over their own lives and use those means to exert power over the individual.
There isn't a problem that socialists can see that doesn't require a new bureaucracy to administer a new program requiring a new tax. The program doesn't have to work. They typically don't. The important part is those new government jobs and yet more tax.
