In the comments.

"Those Orthodox are just traitors to the state of Israel.
Parasites and kooky freaks who should all be shot...
The marchers who take on those black hatted nazis
are braver than you could ever be."

From Simon's blogger profile...

"I seek Truth...Freedom... Justice... and a kinder gentler world."

For everyone who agrees with him, that is.

Macleans article out - talking about the creeping legality of polygamy in Canada.

One of the most interesting quotes from the article:
Asad Dean, chair of the Meadowvale Islamic Centre in Mississauga, agrees many multiple Islamic marriages are conducted in Canada but are simply not registered. ... “We should allow it,” he says. “We should respect different people.”

The full story is here: http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=20070625_106285_106285

All my life the media led me to believe western people and their govmits were superior to the eastern peoples and their govmits.

The French better than the Polish
The English better the the Czechoslovakians
ect.

It is plain to see now that it was the East's 'system' of govmit that was the problem.

The "Eastern Peoples" may well be a hell of a lot smarter than us smug "westerners" :)

The Czech Republic president, Vaclav Klaus, makes more sense than some Hollywood nutcases;

[ Years ago I heard people talking about how environmentalism would be used as the lever to usher in global (socialistic) government, because the environment affects everyone. Do you think this is what we are now seeing with the climate issue?
Mark, Lake Charles, US

Vaclav Klaus: Environmentalism is indeed a vehicle for bringing us socialist government at the global level. Again, my life in communism makes me oversensitive in this respect. The argumentation of various environmentalists is very similar to what we used to know in the past.

Do you feel that the global warming is being used as a rallying point for the forces of globalisation? It is much like the Avian flu propaganda don’t you agree? Problem, reaction, solution. The trillionaires, that want to rule the world, are going to save us... that’s what I’m getting. What is your view?
Mark Lemmon

Vaclav Klaus: I don’t think that the environmentalists are “the trillionaires who want to rule the world”. I am afraid the environmentalists want to rule the world without being capable to earn those trillions because it requires to work very hard. The global warming propaganda is, I agree, similar to the Avian flu propaganda, the Y2K propaganda, the end of resources propaganda, the overpopulation propaganda, etc. Their proposals will not increase the globalisation of human activities, they are in favour of global governance only. This is something very different. I am in favour of the first globalisation, not of the second one.

WOW !! " Environmentalism is indeed a vehicle for bringing us socialist government at the global level."

Was there not a Canadian, UNer, who made that statement two decades ago ?? Jacques Chirac also ??

The Czech Republic President makes more sense than Albert Gore;

A Visit to Fatah's Torture Chamber

Germany’s Spiegel Online has a piece on the new Gaza amusement park formerly known as Fatah’s Torture Chamber.

Note: this was a facility owned and operated by “moderate” Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, who’s about to receive another financial windfall from the US.

A building formerly occupied by Fatah’s intelligence service in Gaza was long notorious for torture and execution. Now Hamas is in control — and is letting former inmates visit the chamber of horrors.

The cells are small, perhaps six feet by six feet, with only an overhead lamp to provide light. The toilet is a hole in the floor behind a small wall. The prisoners have scribbled graffiti on the walls, including slogans like “Al-Qaida in Jerusalem” and “Islamic Jihad.” One inmate even scratched the phrase “Mother, oh my mother” into the plaster.

The children have no interest in the graffiti. Four of them are rushing through the 30-odd basement cells, their mother and aunts in tow. The nine-member family has taken the afternoon off. Where parents in other parts of the world might take their children to a chamber of horrors in an amusement park, the main attractions in the Gaza Strip these days are Fatah’s torture chambers. ...-

To OMMAG:

That poll result on the seizing of private property should come as no surprise.

A few days ago the G&M had a poll where 60% of respondents felt socialism was still a viable form of government for the Western Industrialized World.

If nothing else, the G&M lefties are consistent.

Find: "mopping up"; "flushed out".

Islam: Muslims kill Muslims and mops them up and flushes them out.

It's a "victory".

Lebanon claims victory over Islamic militants in refugee camp

Just reading stuff over at CTV site and came across some poll results that favored PM Harper. (PM top choice as golf buddy, Dion to gallery hop)
No big deal but what really struck me as strange was the opinion of the poll company. This is what was said - "Harper, helped in no small part by the overwhelming support of Conservative-leaning respondents, was the preferred choice in four of five activities."
Of course it didn't give much more information on how the poll was conducted. Lets just chalk this one up to Another Poll gone horribly wrong for our leftoid Media.

Seems obvious, but proof that Britain has been pansified, while Australia still has some balls left.

The Aussies apparently were the targets of a similar kidnapping manoever as the one that so embarrased the British, but they simply faced down the would-be hostage takers. Good for them!

I wonder how our Canadian sailors would have done in the same situation...I'd like to think that they would have followed the Australian model but I am not convinced... too many years of brainwashing about nonviolence and peaceful solution of problems in the public schools.

Ron in K.... Our Weather Network has had a number of badly misinformed things to offer the public.

They should stick to telling us what the temperature is and if there is a thunderstorm in the neighbourhood!

Dumbness for sure, for sure, is everywhere. Didn't scroll up to lookee at above posts. Sorry, Ron, for that.

I caught a bit of the BBC taday and they had an up-date on the taliban killing the schoolgirls about ten days ago.That got me thinking so I went to the cbc website to see what they had on the story.After much searching I found that it was mentioned on cbcradio twice and one time in print by cbc world news where it was buried way down at the bottom of a story about the U.S. mistakenly shooting Agfhan police. Cbc should be taken behind the barn and put out of its misery. They steadfastly refuse to cover anything that favours the Conservatives,but will repeat over and over any negative story,true or not. They call this "editorial freedom".I call it......

Wood spider,I read the poll also. It was by Decima. They are implying that conservative supporters(redneck knuckle draggers) blindly follow thier leader,while the ndp and libs would never do that,instead they thoughtfully pondered the questions before answering.Sure.

The socialists, aka MayDion Liberals-Taliban Jack -NDP, are spouting the Big Lie that Canada is "being hollowed out". It's bfggakbt, baffelgab, Big Lie.

"But for the large part, the data utterly contradict arguments that Canada is being "hollowed out" or being overrun by foreign investors."

Canada a creditor by 2010?
Would mark first time that country's foreign assets outweigh liabilities

Canada could be become a creditor nation for the first time in its history by the end of the decade.

Economists said the country could soon join classic creditors like Japan and Germany and the burgeoning list of emerging-market creditors like China that have more foreign assets than liabilities -- which would give it more control over its financial destiny.

"For the first time in its history, Canada would be a net creditor," said Stefane Marion, assistant chief economist at National Bank in Montreal. "Historically we have always depended more on foreign investment than we could afford to pay out overseas."

Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, agreed. "We're running current account surpluses on the order of about $25-billion a year so roughly in three years time, that sounds about right." ...-

Mideast Madness
Why the region remains unhinged*.

By Victor Davis Hanson

“The Palestinian people will never forgive the Hamas gangs for looting the home of the Palestinian people’s great leader, Yasser Arafat.” So Palestinian Authority spokesman Abdel Rahman recently exclaimed. “This crime will remain a stain of disgrace on the forehead of Hamas and its despicable gangs.”

Looting? Crime? Despicable gangs?

Excuse me. For years, Palestinian Authority-sanctioned gangs shot and tortured dissidents, glorified suicide bombing against Israel, and in general thwarted any hopes of various “peace processes.”

Of course, this kind of behavior isn’t limited to the Palestinian territories but is spread across the Middle East. The soon-to-be-nuclear theocracy in Iran is grotesque. Iraqis continue to discover innovative ways to extinguish each other. Syria assassinates democratic reformers in Lebanon. ABC News now reports that new teams of al Qaeda and Taliban suicide bombers have been ordered to the United States and Europe from Afghanistan.

Here’s why much of the region is so unhinged — and it’s not because of our policy in Palestine or our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

First, thanks to Western inventions and Chinese manufactured goods, Middle Easterners can now access the non-Muslim world cheaply and vicariously. To millions of Muslims, the planet appears — on the Internet, DVDs, and satellite television — to be growing rich as most of their world stays poor.

Second, the Middle East either will not or cannot make the changes necessary to catch up with what they see in the rest of the world. Tribalism — loyalty only to kin rather than to society at large — impedes merit and thus progress. So does gender apartheid. Who knows how many would-be Margaret Thatchers or Sandra Day O’Connors remain veiled in the kitchen? ...-

If you think the childcare battle is won, you are wrong. The provincial government has reduced the number of chidren you can care for without license to 4 from 6.( all on the sly mind you) This will be uneconomic and drive the better ones out of business. So over the next few years people will find they have no options. Guess what the solution will be? And hang all the parents who can't find childcare. It's for the cause.

Thank your government and your ideological progressive neighbour.They won't be happy until everyone depends on the government. We buy jobs at $8000 per. Government, the media, and big business are complicit in shearing the Canadian sheep. We prefer the government to look after the minor things like our health, our children, our parents. We like to look after the important things ourselves.( to be honest, I'm having trouble coming up with something) I'm ashamed to say we Canadians have become a pretty feeble bunch.

"Taliban executed civilians" (slashed the throats of women)

THE HAGUE (AP) - Taliban fighters executed Afghan civilians, including women, who refused to join them during a recent fierce battle against NATO and Afghan government forces in the south, the Dutch military chief said Friday.

Citing ''solid reports'' from Afghan police, Gen. Dick Berlijn said Dutch and Afghan forces, supported by Dutch and U.S. air strikes, fended off an attempt by about 500 Taliban fighters to overrun the southern town of Chora last weekend.

During the attack, Taliban fighters tried to force local civilians to fight alongside them, ''and killed citizens who refused - they were hauled out of their houses by the Taliban and executed,'' Berlijn told reporters.

''One police checkpoint commander saw two brothers murdered before his eyes by the Taliban,'' Berlijn said. Another police report ''said that eight women were murdered - they had their throats slashed,'' he added.

Berlijn said reports suggested that between 30 and 70 enemy fighters were killed in the fighting that started June 15 and raged for several days. ...-

Really, this again points out how very little the Democrats know about our military. This is simply basic stuff, but apparently not something any of Pelosi's staffers could be bothered to check out or most likely would know anyway.

Take a look at the pic on Pelosi's website (it's a flash thing, so wait till it comes around but there is a screen cap below) where she touts how "the House is providing the largest increase in veterans’ funding in history". The picture?
