I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.
Those who want to reap the benefits of this great nation must bear the fatigue of supporting it.
I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.
All too often government's response to social breakdown has been a classic case of 'patching' - a case of handing money out containing problems and limiting the damage but in doing so supporting - even reinforcing - dysfunctional behaviour.
What the government has to do if it wants to govern for any length of time is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.
We'll support the government on issues if it's essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians.
It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.
Taxes are like abortion and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words 'abortion' or 'tax hikes' pass their lips.
I cannot think of any circumstances in which a government can go to war without the support of parliament.
That no government so called can reasonably be trusted or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support.
