Young Tory Club Members At Old Tory University Can Now Fill Phone-Booth!

Onward to Glory, my little Conservative brothers! Best line of the story is from the new Young Tories Ad campaign:

"Freak out your prof. Join the Conservatives."

Or go around looking like this:

Ezra is neither conservative nor Conservative. He has no capacity with the CPC, he attends liberal seminars, and describes himself as a "liberal". He is openly agitating against the Harper Income Trust decision and I suspect he will kneecap the CPC come election time since as you know there is no love between them. Can you not meet me halfway here and replace it with a pic of, say, Poilievre? Ezra is not cricket!

I am sympathetic, but Poilievre is not dorky enough. I am open to your further suggestions.

Well there are worse pics of Ezra you could have used, nevermind. Happy to hear the kids are finding the CPC "groovy".

Stephen Taylor is pretty dorky...corn-fed, lop-sided facial features, probably sweats a lot...

This story feels like the reality that only happens in a Canadian neo-con mind; having been exposed to what happens in the US, he imagines it's also happening here.

Still, it might be a good idea for Young Liberals to start infiltrating these Campus Conservative Clubs to see if they're giving the little dweebs, dateless wonders and closet-cases tips on how to annoy your 'liberal' professor.

...ah...to be a student again.

The Liberal is always scheming. Here's a better idea: get JOBS, and pay off that $2 million leadership debt that is coming soooooooooon.

You can't find 20,000 people to chip in $100 each, in a G-8 country of 33,000,000 people? Some "Natural" "Governing" "Party"!

"...ah...to be a student again."

Oh we have a place reserved for you at the Kemptville Agricultural College, don't you worry...

Libs are smart enough to scheme and hold down a job at the same time, anon 2:58.

Always with the neo-con label, eh, ti-guy? No matter what. In your little ignorant mind, EVERY conservative is ALWAYS a neo-con evangelical christian white supremacy facist.

How can so much ignorance come out of one mind? You must work at it pretty hard.

I see they're getting about 40 people at their events. Isn't that cute. At my campus, we hosted Stephane Dion in November and got out over 500 students. I doubt Harper could draw half that.

On our Young Liberal mailing list we have 1,700 people and these dweebs can only get a few hundred. Some marketing....

Sure you did. Justin Trudeau draws fewer than 200 in a city of 5,000,000, but a much less charismatic Liberal draws 500 students, a group noted for their apathy, at some unnamed university. This is a believable internet story, and you are a believable internet person.

Why would ti-guy lie and claim differently? Facts sometimes hurt. A spade is a spade.

Harper supporters are neo-cons, the progrssive conservatives (aka real conservatives) have moved to the libs or given up voting entirely.

I would imagine the tory campus club numbers are low because they drop out after the first year to get a trade or go back to living in ma and pa's basement to take a job at a gas bar.

I often use "neo-con" to describe people who believe things without having any real way of knowing.

Which describes at the very least, 75% of people who vote Conservative.

When I'm chatting with Conservatives I know, it's amazing how many times the question "how do you know that" is met with a blank stare, rarely an admission of ignorance, and far too often a reference to a factless piece of drivel printed in a CanWest or Sun paper.

This is basse néoconnerie...something that can be explained by simple, human ignorance and intellectual laziness. Haute néconnerie, of the type engaged in by practiced liars such as Ezra Levant, Stephen Taylor, Kate McMillan, all of the CPC caucus and most of Teh Boggin' Torees is what I revile the most and for which punishment will be severe.

Liberal fascism, bitches!

BCL, If your truly believes that Queens in Kingston in a right of center University, I suggest you visit. Both of my daughters attend Queens and trust me, it is left of center ever inch of the way.

Mike said...

Yes, Pierre Poilivre can't be their role model because he never finished University and never graduated.

Oh, wait...

Universities love diversity, don't they.
