Several people at the meeting, intelligent, well-off, clever, were aghast that I had done so. When I asked them why they supported him I got the vaguest, most asinine stuff I have heard since the last time I asked people about their politically correct ideas.<br /><br />Heinlein was right: man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal, who first uses emotion to decide what he likes, then rationalizes reasons for his choice.Fred Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-71857432435030119382013-10-21T15:10:27.150-07:002013-10-21T15:10:27.150-07:00Nenshi was far from a unanimous choice.

Rick McIvor would have won in a landslide, but a local newsreader named Barb Higgins stepped into the contest and, on name-recognition only, split the conservative vote. Hopefully the conservative voters can reverse this mistake today.blametrudeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-41963231992550319642013-10-21T13:46:56.813-07:002013-10-21T13:46:56.813-07:00Not really, but kind of!

When he was running for mayor the first time he did present a very real and credible alternative (you know the blah, blah, blah, teamwork, blah, blah, blah all working together blah, etc - kind of like your prez). <br /><br />And he has generally done a good job, but he really has a thin skin and is a bully (kind of like your prez) and he really does like to spend money. <br /><br />But the MSM went goo goo over him as the first Muslim mayor of a major city (particularly a redneck city like Calgary) and isn't that wonderful. He is a Ismaili muslim which is muslim lite, lives with his parents and I believe still collects his prof. salary from Mount Royal University at the same time as being paid for being mayor.

Gives money to projects like Pembina who are anti-prosperity, uh, anti-oilsands without repercussions. <br /><br />He's kinda like Redford (Premier) with more feminity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-89093656460716303992013-10-21T12:27:45.241-07:002013-10-21T12:27:45.241-07:00He's a real piece of work: http://www.poletica...He's a real piece of work: http://www.poletical.com/naheed-nenshis-contradictions.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
