Sick of Party Politics

Am I the only person sick of Party politics?
Yes, I think one party is better than the other, and I probably agree with 70 - 80% of their platform. But the rhetoric and bashing is driving me crazy. It seems nothing is about what people want anymore, it’s about which …

Obama Policymakers Turn to Campaign Tools

Network of Supporters Tapped on Health-Care Issues By Ceci Connolly Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, December 4, 2008; Page A01 Barack Obama's incoming administration has begun to draw on the high-tech organizational tools that helped get him elected to lay the groundwork for an attempt to restructure the U.S. health-care system. Former senator Thomas A. Daschle, Obama's point person on health care, launched an effort to create political momentum yesterday in a conference call

Are we (still) a Judeo-Christian Country?

There has been a tremendous swing away from organized religion in the United States, with adults professing they are Christian dropping about a percent per year since 1990. This is following a trend set in Europe where Christianity is rapidly fading into a non-factor in both cultural and religious arenas. The fastest growing religion in the US is apparently Wicca, which is an “Earth based neopagan” view of life that is doubling every 30 months. While Wiccans comprise only approximately 134,0

Bailouts? for American companies? battling traditional, functioning Canadian political institutions such as the GG? at our peril, do we allow Harper's wrangling to drive Canadians towards his preferred American 'privatized republic' game rules... watch him... he's the sort that likes calling people 'unCanadian'... & simply LOVES the SPP & NAFTA... think about it...

Prorogue He Wanted and Prorogue He Got

We are now on day one of a 58-day political journey. Where to, is now the question of the day. Prime Minister Harper promises to consult with many in the preparation of a budget now scheduled for January 27, 2009. His survival is dependent on his skill in building a budget and selling it to the public and to his disgruntled political opponents. The Coalition prime minister in-waiting, Stephane Dion, has left very little, but some, room for Harper to convince him and the Liberal party to supp

Phew, That Was Close!

Phew, that was close! I'm glad that the Governor General chose to overstep her sympathies and do what's right for the country. At the very least - we won't have the Grinch Trio stealing Christmas this year. What's next? The Parliament will reopen on Jan.26 with a new Throne Speech. The budget will be released on Jan.27. That

Is Barack Hussein Obama Going All Native On Us Already?

LMAO Well, this is sure to explode some heads in the blogosphere. Frankly, it should. How about this - when is the leader of an Islamic state going to go somewhere and make an earth shattering speech on the need for Muslims to accept Israel as a state and denounce Islamic extremism enmass? Oh, but they can't do THAT! It would problaby get them killed. So leave it to a Hopey-Changey President-elect to go to the Islamic world and sing Kumbaya, my allah, Kumbaya! Or maybe Weird Al's Ayatollah wou

Pope St. Pius X's Encyclical Against Modernism, Pascendi

Pascendi Dominici Gregis ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907 VENERABLE BRETHREN, HEALTH AND THE APOSTOLIC BLESSING: 1. One of the primary obligations assigned by Christ to the office divinely committed to Us of feeding the Lord's flock is that of guarding with the greatest vigilance the deposit of the faith delivered to the saints, rejecting the profane novelties of words and the gainsaying of knowledge falsely so called. There has never been a time when this watchfulness of the

Molly's Classical ST Forum Letter Game

Every once in a while, the ST Forum must come up with classics . . . or rather classical bootlicking. The Classical ST Forum Letter has a few characteristics: 1. It is pro-establishment. Though nowadays it might concede that the establishment isn't perfect (but the point is really that the establishment is not perfect, but it's the best nevertheless). 2. (a) It contains logical fallacies, especially fallacies that many Singaporeans would accept as facts thanks to a world-class propaganda syste

Daily Mail: Home loans: a slap in the face

BRITAIN'S second biggest mortgage lender raised its rate by half a point yesterday, just 48 hours before an expected 1 per cent cut in the Bank of England rate. The cynical move by the Abbey - killing off the benefit of the imminent cut - came after Business Secretary Lord Mandelson admitted he is powerless to force banks to bring down the cost of borrowing despite a £37billion nationalisation bail-out. It is part of a wider drive by lenders to increase their profit margins on home loans with

Transitioning From Surrender To Victory

The Times repackages Obama's campaign promises on Iraq: Campaign Promises on Ending the War in Iraq Now Muted by Reality By THOM SHANKER WASHINGTON — On the campaign trail, Senator Barack Obama offered a pledge that electrified and motivated his liberal base, vowing to “end the war” in Iraq. But as he moves closer to the White House, President-elect Obama is making clearer than ever that tens of thousands of American troops will be left behind in Iraq, even if he can make good on his cam

Poll asks: What should Sansom do about "sweetheart" job?

Progress Florida, a liberal advocacy group in Tallahassee, is trying to ratchet up the heat on House Speaker Ray Sansom, asking in an online poll if the House Speaker should be censured, step down as speaker or give up his "sweetheart" job at Northwest Florida State College. "On the same day Ray Sansom (R-Destin) was named the new Speaker of the Florida House it was announced he would be drawing a six-figure salary from Northwest Florida State College (formerly Okaloosa-Walton Community Colle

Beware of 'The Homosexual' agenda -- then and now

This circa 1950's PSA is actually quite astute, if you replaced HOMOSEXUAL with PREDATOR. And most predators are heterosexual. Where is the PSA that exclaims -- HETEROSEXUALS on the prowl? How did people get out of bed in the 50's with so much BS propaganda floating around? An imagine being in a same sex relationship back then. Oh. The. Horror. The Homosexual Agenda in Schools (parts 1,2,3) I just love YouTube. This video is put together by the American Family Association and it

Online poll: Should Sansom resign?

Defecttion watch: Bradford Labour councillor joins the Conservatives

Bradford City ward councillor Munir Ahmed (pictured) has resigned from the Labour Party to join the Conservatives. He will now take the Conservative Whip and sit as a member of the Conservative Group in City Hall. Cllr Ahmed commented: "Over the past few months, I have become increasingly disillusioned with the policy direction of the Labour Party, both locally and nationally. "I first took the decision to enter politics because I wanted to help deliver better services for the area in whic

Harper clings to power, Tories attempt a Stronach and Dumarest finds a clue to the location of Earth

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will ask the Governor General to suspend Parliament when he meets with her Thursday morning in a bid to avoid a confidence vote that could topple his minority government. A Liberal MP from Newfoundland and Labrador says he has been approached by federal Conservatives but denies reports he was offered a plum appointment if he should cross the floor. Note that if the CPC(Non-Communist) can get a dozen MPs from other parties to defect, their problems go away, at leas

Hundreds of conservative Episcopal congregations form new church, Anglican Church in North America

Hundreds of conservative congregations within the Episcopal church have broken away from the liberals within their denomination and formed a new church: "Hundreds of conservative Episcopal congregations in North America, rejecting liberal biblical views of others in the denomination, formed a breakaway church Wednesday that threatened to further divide a global Anglican body already torn by the ordination of an openly gay bishop. Leaders of the new Anglican Church in North America said they t

Time for U.S. to butt out of Latin America

Ripped from the wires ... Teo Ballve argues that the Monroe Doctrine has outlived its usefulness as a foreign-policy tool: By Teo Ballve President-elect Barack Obama should rescind the Monroe Doctrine, which is 185 years old this week. In just three short paragraphs buried deep into his State of the Union speech on Dec. 2, 1823, President James Monroe proclaimed one of the most enduring tenets of U.S. foreign policy. He warned Europe that Washington would not tolerate any interventions f

Latest parliamentary developments on the Damian Green arrest

Two developments this morning: The 7-member committee announced by the Speaker yesterday may now not in fact meet for months, until after the police inquiry has finished - rather than being the "speedy and immediate" inquiry that was expected. The membership of the committee will not after all be the decision of the Speaker, but rather will reflect the composition of the House, presumably meaning that it will be made up of 4 Labour MPs, 2 Conservatives and 1 Liberal Democrat.
