Illegals boycott America, we boycott Cinco de Mayo
On Fox & Friends this morning there was an interview with Bob Griggs. Bob is promoting a boycott on Cinco de Mayo day in retaliation to the planned boycott of America by the illegal aliens on May first. Excellent idea !
The illegal aliens believe they can cripple our economy, and …
Interesting Google Ads
I have discovered that if you use a Contextual advertising system such as Google Adsense you have to take the good with the bad. Several ads have been running on this site that really go against my personal views. I am trying to keep up with the filters, but it …
CAIR/Liberals: America Full of Raging Islamophobes! Reality: Not so Much......
In a country of over 300,000,000 people, there was a scant 120-130 incidents per year between 2003 and 2007. Some of those incidents, as we all know, are complete bullshit (mainly fabricated by CAIR). On a sub-par day, Islam kills twice that number of people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan..... WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Hate crimes against Arab Americans have decreased steadily since the September 11 attacks but are still more common than they were before the hijackings, a civil rights group s
From the Better Late Than Never Department: Saxby Chambliss wins!
I'm a little bit late reporting this but that's what happens when you get blinded by all the shock and awe of the Obama Nation. In Georgia, Republican Saxby Chambliss won the run-off election for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday. This may come as a surprise to those of you who have spent the past few weeks being steadily brainwashed by the "Everyone-Has-Embraced-The-Party-Of-Obama" drumbeat that has been coming from the mainstream media. Liberals, you may remember, hate Chambliss because he defeat
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
Proroguing and Partisanship
In typical fashion for historians, I want to wait a bit before posting more on the significance of the last five days. But in the meantime, I'm trying to think about this issue beyond my own partisan leanings.One issue that seems to be cropping up regularly as an argument for why Michäelle Jean should not have granted Harper's request is the fact that since Parliament has been prorogued until late January, this will give Stephen Harper over six weeks to spend Conservative money on advertizing t
A Guide for the perplexed - Canada's Constitutional Crisis
In the Parliamentary system, an unwritten constitution based like the Common Law upon precedent and practice, the given is the idea of indirect democracy. Voters elect a "Parliament". They do not vote for a Prime Minister. To operate as a government, a Prime Minister has to have the effective "Confidence of the House" - crudely put - he has to have the votes. In majorities, this is easy. The use of the party system guarantees the votes. In a minority, the PM has to keep the confidence of the h
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
Liberals: so just change the Constitution
Liberals say the Constitution is stupid in order to get Obama into the White House: An associate lawyer in a Chicago-based firm whose partner served on a finance committee for then-Sen. Barack Obama has advocated for the elimination of the U.S. Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born" citizen, calling the requirement "stupid" and asserting it discriminates, is outdated and undemocratic. The paper was written in 2006 by Sarah Herlihy, just two years after Obama had won a
No Tweety.
Politico writes about Chris Matthews' rumblings about running for US Senate in Pennsylvania. NBC News execs think it's a ploy to get a better deal with his contract (which would be hilarious), but it looks to be pretty serious.The garrulous host of the show "Hardball with Chris Matthews" has already picked out a home in Philadelphia to establish residency in the state, according to a Democratic operative in discussions with him about a potential candidacy. Over Thanksgiving weekend, at his vaca
Quick question
I've seen people opposed to the coalition object that none of the candidates running for the Liberals, the NDP or the Bloc ran on the basing of wanting to form a coalition. There have been other coalitions in Canada: could anyone remind me if any of the candidates in the elections prior to the formation of coalition govenments ran on the basis of planning a coalition after the election?
Hmmm
Police in Qaemshahr have detained 49 people for wearing "satanic fashions." And here we didn't even know Members Only jackets were available in Iran. While "namby pamby" liberals will undoubtedly denounce Iran's fashion ordinance as draconian and medieval, we think America would benefit from a similar law. To be enforced against hairy-backed males in wifebeaters, paunch-bellied females in shirts that barely reach the navel, the socks with sandals crowd, and itsy bitsy babies wearing tie-dye.
PM Stephen Harper Faces Political Crisis: Canada
TORONTO -- Push has come to shove for Prime Minister Stephen Harper. With a confidence vote set for Monday, Harper faces the possibility of a parliamentary defeat that would send the country toward a new election or give his opponents a chance to form a coalition government. So the Conservative prime minister was taking his case to the Canadian public Wednesday night, and a cabinet minister suggested he would take the unprecedented step of asking Governor General Michaelle Jean to suspend Par
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
Schools funding based on need or prosperity?
I found this really strange: Schools are willing to share budget misery in tough times in return for a share of the goodies when the economy is booming, a state education group says. The Associated School Boards of South Dakota recently adopted a resolution that supports a change in law to require that annual state-aid increases be 4 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is greater. Current law sets the increases at the inflation rate of 3 percent, whichever is lower. The association'
Nothing like facts to get in the way of a good scare campaign.

It is a comment that betrays a hankering for the good old days, when the Coalition was in office and the politics was easy: whip up a bit of fear about being swamped by refugees, demoni
Moving Apart
Nastiness and dirty tricks have been a part of politics ever since democracy was invented. In ancient Rome, politics was brutal—Julius Caesar, for instance, was aided in his rise to power by some pretty dodgy voter suppression tactics. John Quincy Adams passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which many believed were enacted in order to silence criticism of his administration. And it’s hard to forget the “mushroom cloud” ads run by the Lyndon Johnson campaign against Barry Goldwater.So politics have
Liberal / NDP Deal With The Bloc — Ripping The Country Apart
Dion doesn't want to be the only Liberal leader in almost a century which doesn't become a Prime Minister. But so far, his leadership has resulted in nothing but the biggest electoral defeat for the Liberal party. In order to overturn the defeat in the polls and to become Prime Minister, Dion is willing to pay generously - even if it means breathing new life into the Bloc and boosting Quebec separatism. Unlike the NDP, the Bloc won't get any cabinet seats. But they will get Senate seats instead.
The Julian Narrative
Source: H. Graetz, History of the Jews, volume II (Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society of America, 1893) 595.Julian's "favorite thoughts were to protect the oppressed of all nations and religions, to promote the well-being of all his subjects, more especially by alleviating the burden of taxes, to revive the philosophical sciences, to restore the ancient religion, freed, however, from its most conspicuous blemishes, which had rendered it so contemptible and ridiculous; finally, to confine C
Two speeches
Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed the Canadian people tonight. I don’t know why he bothered; he had nothing to say to us. The speech was a mere five minutes long, and (as the CBC emphasized) the Prime Minister had nothing new to say. He insisted that the Conservatives do have a plan to stimulate the economy. He asked for time to implement that agenda. And he made a big fuss about the Bloc Québécois’s role in the proposed coalition. The Prime Minister has said all of those things before
How does the Cabinet look now?
As I said earlier, I liked Obama’s first pick, Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff. I am not crazy about most of the rest of his picks. It looks more like a rerun of the Bubba Clinton years with the Hill getting a little more official power. Are we better off with this group than the group they will be replacing? The best that can be said for the crop he is assembling is that they do not seem to be overly hard core liberals. After that, it is hard to come up with much positive on most of them.
Bush receives International Medal of Peace; friends of fascism are enraged
The Global Peace Coalition, a group associated with Saddleback pastor Dr. Rick Warren, two days ago awarded President Bush its first-ever International Medal of Peace. The award honors Bush’s massive campaign to prevent and treat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in Africa, but it also obviously recognizes Bush’s leadership in replacing tyranny with democracy, which is the world’s only hope for a lasting peace. Naturally, the pseudo-liberals who lament the fall of the Taliban and Saddam Husse
