Canadian Writer Compares Present Obamamania In U.S With Trudeaumania In 1968 Canada

The article in Canada's National Post first appeared in "The Weekly
Standard". It is titled "Pierre Elliott Obama". Lionel Chetwynd, the author,
warns Americans:
"For Canadians, Trudeuamania was a magic elixir that blotted out the
troubles of the modern world. Barack Obama is now selling the United States
the same poisonous political opium".

We should not forget that manias are always irrational and political manias
can be very dangerous. In Germany of the 1930s there was a mania for Adolph
Hitler. And we know how that turned out.

Chetwynd's article can be read below. Every concerned American should read
it:

I don't see Obama blotting out America's troubles. His "More Perfect
Union" speech was the most frank and informed discussion of race
relations in the US I've seen from a politician, ever.

Besides, are you really suggesting people should vote for McCain or
Clinton simply because they don't feel like it?

I've explained why the writer of the article is spouting nonsense.
He's a Canadian with the national inferiority complex. Where's the
non-sequitur?

The subject of the original post was the similarity between Obamamania and
Trudeaumania
and how both are dangerous re the survival of democracy. It is radicalism
and populism like this that invite right-wing coups.
You did not address the central thesis of the thread.

I disagree. The Democrats are enjoying a huge surge in people who call
themselves Democrats (Party ID). This isn't because of Clinton, Pelosi
or Reid. So it has to be all the new people Obama is bringing into the
party.

And centrist republicans pushed to the left since the religious
right Bushites took over their party, where social conservatism
became intolerance and government got huge and big on spending.

Hmm, so thats it.
It hadn't occured to me but you could be right.
Obamarx is the same sort of weasel that Trudeau was.
Didn't buy it then ain't buyin' it now.
Mind you we only suspect that Obamarx is a Communist.
Trudeau actually was a fellow traveller.

IBM

Pierre Elliott ( double t, double l Elliotts are a notoriously bad
lot in Scottish history by the way ) Trudeau is dead. It is my firm
belief that every Canadian should make a pilgrimage to his grave
at least once in their life for the purpose of making sure the
******* is still there.

And the people Bush has driven out of the GOP.

And we all know where this kind of adulation leads. Trudeau almost
destroyed Canada's economy with his insane communist initiatives. He
also, against the welfare of the country, centralized power as much as
he could, a typical tyrant.

High taxes = high unemployment which we suffered throughout Trudeau's
reign of terror. But there was far more to it than that. What do you
expect, the guy's pals were Fidel Castro and Jamaica's Michael Manley.

No one has called out the army (except Toronto's mayor Mel Lastman to
clear snow) to enforce order since Trudeau.
Reporter during FLQ Crisis: "How far will you go?"
Trudeau: "Just watch me"
