I think another one I have seen on LRC is Obamanable.

I never think attacking the welfare classes helps. I really think mocking and de-legitimizing our leaders [sic] and their ideas is the best course.

Suzuki the Charlatan is a great target. TokyoTom will probably have a conniption fit if we start using the wiki to compete with his enviro-excited blog.

I'll try to think of some. But I don't think that the Canadian public holds its politicians in high esteem right now anyway. Everybody loved Chretien. People don't have faith in Harper anymore. They don't trust Iggy. Layton is just a loud annoying mouthpiece (Raving Jack!).

I think the strategy in Canada should be different. Our leaders don't have the personality cults that americans do. Our leaders don't have any personal legitimacy. They only maintain legitimacy by being proponents of ideas that have legitimacy. Particularly progressivism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism, and right now the idea that the government can fix the economy. I think it would be better to attack people like David Suzuki and Trudeau than present politicians. Also it would be better to attack whole regions and classes of people. People who live on welfare, spend most of the year on EI, provinces that have large numbers of these kinds of people, like the maritime provinces. Most people think they are over-taxed. We should point out where the money goes.

Also, keep in mind that we are a part of the American Empire, and that it is necessary to delegitimize their rulers in Canada as well, to try to encourage our rulers to distance themselves and stop emulating every single major law the U.S. passes.

Just my thoughts.

It would be great if we could add profiles of political leaders and explain in laymens terms just how each one made the lives of the average american worse.

I thought you were a Canuck? Americans, schmericans. Some of the most active people on this forum are Canadians and Europeans. Most of the really active Americans are hardcore socialists. Wow, that's weird when I type it. The socialists are capitalists and the capitalists are socialists. Portions of this paragraph are made in jest.

Barack the Bankrupt.

Good one.

A little off topic, but I think we should start considering ppl visiting our site more and start filling up our Wikis section. I'm prabably going to start soon just adding simple, uncontroversial definitions and Austrian concepts. It would be great if we could add profiles of political leaders and explain in laymens terms just how each one made the lives of the average american worse.

Rulers in the past had titles attached to their names according to their deeds: Alexander the Great, Ivan the Terrible, ect. I think it's overdue for a comeback, with abuse heaped on.

Bill the philanderer

Bush the Bumbler

Don't know what to call Barack

We should think of something clever that will stick, and try to spread it around.

Little help?
