Liberal party hubris
I use the word ”hubris” deliberately because it is a perfect description of Liberal entitlement, as is the notion of transference and projection — when what someone says reflects more on themselves than on those they are condemning. Any doubts? Check out the origin of the term hubris. As Wikipedia states:
“In ancient Greece, hubris referred to actions which, intentionally or not, shamed and humiliated the victim, and frequently the perpetrator as well. It was most evident in the public and private actions of the powerful and rich. The word was also used to describe actions of those who challenged the gods or their laws, especially in Greek tragedy, resulting in the protagonist’s downfall.”
So, the Conservative Party of Canada, under Stephen Harper’s leadership and the people of Canada, have challenged the Liberal view — that they are Canada’s natural governing party and that only their values are Canadian values — and they don’t like it one bit.
To hear the hubris from Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff’s own mouth, drop by either Blue Like You or Stephen Taylor’s sites and watch the video they have in which Mr. Ignatieff says:
“We created the country you live in. Never forget it.“
Also, check out some of the pro-Liberal comments at Stephen Taylor’s thread. The projection is amazing. Nothing about conservatives is right. In fact, the hate and anger some Liberals harbour for Conservatives is bordering on obsession. Yet, I know I will hear from Liberals who will say it is the opposite — it is the Conservatives who are obsessed. Which is where the transference comes in.
On a similar note, there is today’s National Post editorial, which refers to the current election sabre rattling — primarily by Mr. Ignatieff and his Liberals – as “Election Hubris.”
