Yup. Looks like the lying libs in Canada are setting up the same Russia collusion hoax crap for when the conservatives win in October.

They are collaborators

****************

Except for the obvious coterie of “prominent” RINOs, I see the Republicans more as useful idiots.

The only trend in the GOP is one of persistent weakness.

They’re definitely collaborators, especially ideologically. They are not people who started as conservative and are now infected with some sort of weakness. Their actions speak for themselves, and their inaction is also action that helps their Democratic counterparts. They play the same game over and over.

When excerpts from the books I referred to are looked at, it becomes obvious that RINOs are collaborators. It isn’t just what The Naked Communist pointed out in their 45 communist goals for the USA, goal #15 being the following:
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
The Naked Conservative outlined just how that capturing was being executed.
The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”

Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

Chapter 2, page 15

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.

The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

Pages 24-25
If it was as bad as claimed in those books from the late 1950s, how entrenched is it today?

Whoops; that’s The Conscience of a Conservative. (Obviously not Jeff Flake’s book.)

Trudeau and his Government must be in bad shape and are making excuses already

Recycled excuses that have proven not to work.

They tried this all over Europe too. FUD about “interference”, which can’t be defined.

The idea that this is new is just plain nuts. Foreign countries have been meddling in elections all over the globe since elections. Because they have better avenues to do it doesn’t mean its new.

England has been interfering with elections in America, Canada and other countries in our hemisphere for centuries.

Look at the Brit involvement in the attempted deep state coup against Candidate Trump, President elect Trump, and President Trump. Christopher Steele was up to his Brit adenoids in creating the bs against Donald Trump..

Dossier author Christopher Steele orchestrated post-election media push against Trump!

ROWAN SCARBOROUGH MARCH 18, 2019

Dossier creator Christopher Steele had a far greater role in trying to sell his anti-Trump charges to Washington’s journalism establishment than previously known, a court filing shows.

It was public knowledge through Mr. Steele’s previous declarations in two libel lawsuits that he had met with the powerhouses of D.C. journalism before the presidential election to brief his Trump-Russia conspiracy allegations.

But with the March 14 unsealing of testimony from an aide of the late Sen. John McCain, it is now known that Mr. Steele also adopted a post election strategy to damage or perhaps stop the Trump presidency.

Excerpted go to the link for an update on this Brit Spy against our President and his voters, us.

After Castro’s bastard son loses the election, Trump/America will be blamed for meddling in that election.

England hasn’t been so left-leaning for centuries. Sounds like how Obama views England, with all due respect.

Steele’s former career involved working undercover in Moscow while still under the USSR (albeit under Gorbachev), so I suspect he became a double agent.

Oh, I think the Mullahs would be just fine with that, what with it being right next door to the Great Satan.

BS!

The Brits have tried to interfere with every major election we have had since our independence.

Their left wing has basically controlled GB since WWII was over with the exception of PM Thatcher.

I don’t know where you get your propaganda from, but no such thing is the case with respect to US elections for “centuries”, or else we would have had to take over Canada in order to break British power in that regard.

It certainly is true that the left grabbed a death-grip on UK politics after WWII; that I agree with. And that left wing has of course been in cahoots with the US left to break down the independence and sovereignty of both nations.

My data comes from my ancestors over 27k with 97% DNA and documented lines of former Brits, who when they could, came to the new world to get away from England’s tyranny.

The letters and other documentation showed many of them leaving England even before the Colonies appeared.

They left England for religious freedom, hope of economic stability and the danger of Red Coats patrolling the streets where they lived.

Why are you defending the Brits so hard?

One of our Brit American friends is 90+. She says that every good Brit came to America or was killed during WWII. She married one of our Airmen she met in England.

So just leave me alone.

I don’t need a pro Brit telling me how to think.

Were they our enemy in both world wars? No. Think about who was, that entity having been the biggest promoter of Hegelian-based socialism.

Thanks for your anecdote. Still sounds exactly like Obama’s anti-“colonialist” propaganda, with all due respect again. If England was that bad, we would never have had much of our own federal Constitution and state Constitutions based on English common law, and all churches based on the Anglican communion and other English-based denominations would have been rejected. And every leftist ever on both sides of the Atlantic has been working feverishly to wreck the special relationship for decades, so I am wary at best of those who appear to be sympathetic to their cause.

And frankly, is it not you telling me what to think? You responded to my thread after all.

And I’m speaking as someone who used to live in the Republic of Ireland. Their rapid turn away from their morality-based governance does not have the UK to blame, but the European Union.

so the fix is in.

The left will steal the election and blame uh Russia, China, Mexico, America (Trump).

But in reality who the hell cares about who is managing Canada? Who would bother to interfere? Maybe some kooks in Hollywood?
