‘THE most infuriating

thing about the liberal-

left is its assumption
nat it knows best.

To understand this you
B- don’t have to go to the ideo-
logical warriors of the provin-
cial NDP with their looney
idea that all pre-serty is theft.
Just consider the smug
countenance of the Rt. Hon.
Allan Rock as he pursues
Some mad idea of social engi-
“neering where we will all
become good by legislation.
As the lib-feft “thinker”

‘Douglas Jay wrote in The

cialist Cause:

3. “In the case of nutrition
Zand health, just as in the case
EOF education, the gentlemen
“in Whitehali really do know
better what is good for peo-

B- ple than people know them-
selves.”
The sublime arrogance of
it is breathtaking isn’ it?
Lib-lefties have an infinite
city.for self-deception.

“Nazi” is still heard as 2 fre-

quent label for their “ene-

mies.” This even though it
y : stands for “National Socialist”
and that many, if not most of

Hitler’s wicked and perverse

theories of race and the “puri-

ty” thereof were drawn
directly from the socialist the-
oreticians of the day.
By the same token, we
ad 50 years of incense burn-
ing and grovelling praise
from the lefties for the likes
of the murderous maniac
‘Stalin, Pol Pot the People’s
Pal and the gallant encmy of

capitalism, the CIA ‘and any- |

one else the left was mad at.

of this sort of thing would be

Somehow the fact that

scrupulous neutrality in the
Great War against fascism

the Nazis could not have

Finland, it should not be
forgotten, fought on the Nazi
side though this was over-
looked because it fought
exclusively against the
Russians which proved to be
acceptable as things turned

VIEWPOINT

Denmark, Norway and
Finland have been busily
practising compulsory steril-
ization of their citizens since
1933, some up to this year,
not only for alleged medical
reasons but to purify the
Nordic race and to prevent
racially defective persons from
reproducing themselves and
for possessing “undesirable
racial characteristics.”

Many of these last turned
out to be gypsies and some
people were sterilized in
Sweden because they wore
eye-glasses, which would be
as good a reason as any for
getting rid of Doug Collins.

Meanwhile, the parade of
the self-righteous
Scandinavians has been joined
by yet another Social
Democratic paradise caught
with its genes down.

None other than dear lir-
de Austria, home of the Blue
Danube and Sachertorte was
practising this evil “science”
until recently.

Its law on “eugenics” has
been on the books since
1931 and was adopted in its
entirety by Hitler himself as
his second great legislative
gift to the German people
after gun control.

Meanwhile it turns out
that the only opposition to all
this mutilation and mayhem
came from the wicked, right-
wing capitalist old farts who
kept chuntering on about
individual civil rights and
freedom of speech and such
like reactionary nonsense in
the face of the clear logic and
appropriateness of the left’s
policy.

One of our problems is
that to forget history you
have to learn it in the first
place and, of course, we have
long since abandoned this in
our schools, just as as we
have handed over our univer-
sities and the teaching profes-
sion co these same politically-
correct know-it-all nannies of
the liberal-left.

Dear Editor:

Bravo! Well done!

I was well pleased to see
that you didn’t waste much
time at all repairing the
breaches in your front line
with fresh reinforcements. |
don’t know who Leo Knight

- is, but may I add my wel-

come aboard Canada’s best
and gutsiest newspaper any-
way.

I do, however, know who
Charles Maclean is, and I do
congratulate you and Charles
for another great move.

And gosh durn it. I guess
that liberal fella Mitchell isn’t
there any more. Oh well,
maybe Doug could make the
odd guest appearance
that’d more’n make up for it!

ing the articles but it sure gen-
erated a lot of paper around
my house. Ever since you’ve
been on the net, not only has
that problem been solved, but
I no longer have to forward
your article ro friends: they're
all on the net. Even better,
now TROC can see what a
great newspaper we have here
out West.

Because you are unique
(you’re about the only news-
paper that seems to think the
same way I and just about all
of my friends and acquain-
tances think) and because of
the Net, your newspaper is
rapidly outgrowing its role as
a small communtiy newspa-
per. I dare say that your circu-
lation, largely due to the edi-

torial department, is rapidly
surpassing the readership of
any community newspaper in
Canada. And since there isn’t
a single daily “traditional” or
national newspaper that does-
n’t arouse in me symptoms of
ailments varying from 2 sort
of mild airsickness to ragingly
high blood pressure, I suggest
that you will continue to grow
into a national attraction to all
who've had it up to here with
political correctness and the
sell out of our country.
Wherever you go, I can
assure you that my best wish-
es and loyal readership and
that of all of my friends go
with you.
