For those wishing to sign the anti-handgun ban petition it is available at:

In another poll gone terrible wrong for the MSM, the Toronto star asked the question: “Are you in favor of a complete ban on handguns”. The results:
Yes 9%
No 91%

The current moonbat mayor of Toronto has started a petition to get the Canadian government to ban handguns but seems to be unaware that none of the Jamaican criminals shooting it out in his city would be eligeable to purchase a pistol under the current firearms laws of this country.

“Nursing “Can’t Move On” Until it Addresses its Nazi Eugenics Past…and Present
HULL, UK, April 9, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In Hitler’s Germany, long before 1939, vulnerable patients in nursing homes, insane asylums and orphanages were being killed by medical practitioners, including nurses, in the Nazi eugenics programme Aktion T4 that some estimate killed as many as 200,000 to 250,000 people. Next week, Linda Shields, a professor of nursing at Hull University in Yorkshire, will give a speech outlining the implications for the profession today of the participation of nurses in the Nazi programme.””

Socialized Health Care: The Communist Dream and the Soviet Reality
By Anna Ebeling
“In October 1917, the Marxist dreams of coming to political power came true in Russia. Now that everyone was to be equal in all aspects of their lives, people would no longer die in the streets from illness. Free medical care would be available for all, rather than reserved only for the “greedy rich.”

Gordon G. Chang, Fragile China
THREE WEEKS AFTER THE outbreak of violence in southwest China, Beijing’s officials have apparently restored order. Before they were able to do so, they often spoke in grim terms. Tibet Communist party chief Zhang Qingli, for instance, stated that the country was locked in “a life or death struggle.”
From the perspective of today, that assessment appears overwrought. Yet there was good reason for Chinese officialdom to be worried. Although the Tibetans clearly could not gain their independence or destroy the one-party state, their uprising exposed the fragility of the regime in Beijing…
Elbridge Colby, The New Deterrence
IN A LITTLE NOTICED speech on February 8, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley announced that the United States had recently adopted “a new declaratory policy to help deter terrorists from using weapons of mass destruction against the United States, our friends, and allies.” This policy would threaten with retaliation “those states, organizations, or individuals who might enable or facilitate terrorists in obtaining or using weapons of mass destruction.”
This new policy is a major step forward for U.S. counterterrorism policy. Contrary to the mantra that deterrence is irrelevant to addressing the terrorism problem, the truth is that deterrent threats can and should play a central role in preventing attacks, especially catastrophic attacks. Perhaps the attackers themselves cannot always be deterred, but terrorist attacks are not the work of bombers alone. They are the result of coordinated actions by groups of people. The key is therefore to expand deterrent threats beyond the core members themselves to encompass those who support, enable, facilitate, finance, provide expertise, and in other respects are complicit in WMD strikes…

Shedding light on the torch
“The first torch run was the brainchild of Dr. Carl Diem, the organizer of Adolf Hitler’s 1936 Olympics in Berlin. He convinced Hitler’s propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, that 3,422 young Aryan runners should carry burning torches along the 3,422 km route from the Temple of Hera on Mount Olympus to the stadium in Berlin. The event would be captured by the regime’s filmmaking prodigy, Leni Riefenstahl, and broadcast over radio.
In fact, Rogge’s dream that the torch be a symbol of “peace, harmony and global unity” is reminiscent of Hitler’s own words in 1936. “Sporting chivalrous contest,” Hitler proclaimed before the torch’s inaugural lighting, “helps knit the bonds of peace between nations. Therefore, may the Olympic flame never expire.”
As Chris Bowlby wrote for BBC News, “…it was planned with immense care by the Nazi leadership to project the image of the Third Reich as a modern, economically dynamic state with growing international influence.””

Indur Goklany, Hot Air in Bangkok
After five days of contentious discussions in Bangkok, governments from nearly 200 countries last week agreed to an agenda for further talks to forge a new United Nations global warming agreement.

But this represents a serious misreading of the underlying economic situation.

Michael Novak, American Benediction
When Pope Benedict XVI arrives in America this month, he will find an American Church much in need of his tough love and pastoral care. Nonetheless, his native instinct for modesty and gentleness is likely to be the most visible fact of his presence.
Some may ask why Benedict XVI chose to come to the White House this year, at the risk of seeming to engage in politics during an election. My guess is that the Vatican has never had a better friend in the White House than George W. Bush–not only in defending the sanctity of human life, but in exposing the reflexive leftism (and “gnosticism”–to which I will return later) of many international organizations, and in stressing the importance of religious liberty in the Middle East and elsewhere…

Nojoud Muhammed Nasser arrived at court by herself on Wednesday, April 2, looking for a judge to handle her case against her father, Muhammed Nasser, who forced her two months ago to marry Faez Ali Thamer, a man 22 years her senior. The child also asked for a divorce, accusing her husband of sexual and domestic abuse.
According to Yemeni law, Nojoud cannot prosecute, as she is underage. However, court judge Muhammed Al-Qathi heard her complaint and subsequently ordered the arrests of both her father and husband …

“‘Global Warming’ as Pathological Science
‘Global Warming’ as Pathological Science
By James Lewis
Trofimko Lysenko is not a household name; but it should be, because he was the model for all the Politically Correct “science” in the last hundred years. Lysenko was Stalin’s favorite agricultural “scientist,” peddling the myth that crops could be just trained into growing bigger and better. You didn’t have to breed better plants over generations, as farmers have been doing for ages. It was a fantasy of the all-powerful Soviet State. Lysenko sold Stalin on that fraud in plant genetics, and Stalin told Soviet scientists to fall into line — in spite of the fact that nobody really believed it. Hundreds of thousands of peasants starved during Stalin’s famines, in good part because of fraudulent science.
There is such a thing as pathological science. Science becomes unhealthy when its only real question — “what is true?” — is sabotaged by vested interests, by ideological Commissars, or even by grant-swinging scientists. Today’s Global Warming campaign is endangering real, honest science. Global Warming superstition has become an international power grab, and good science suffers as a result.
Freeman Dyson, one of the great physicists alive today, put it plainly enough in his autobiography:
“…all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. … I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. … They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in.”
When the scientific establishment starts to peddle fraud, we get corrupt science. The Boomer Left came to power in the 1970s harboring a real hatred toward science. They called it “post-modernism,” and “deconstructionism” — and we saw all kinds of damage as a result. Scientific American magazine went so far as to hire a post-modern “journalist” to write for it. John Horgan became famous for writing a book called The End of Science, but never seemed to learn much about real science. It was a shameful episode.”

Jesse Larner, Who’s Afraid of Friedrich Hayek? The Obvious Truths and Mystical Fallacies of a Hero of the Right
RIGHT-WINGERS love Friedrich Hayek. The Austrian-British economist is revered by true believers at the American Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, the National Review, and the Weekly Standard. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher cited his ideas as central to the social revolutions they hoped to spark. Antigovernment ideologues admire him as one of those few who kept Adam Smith’s fires burning during the dark reign of John Maynard Keynes in the West; his most famous book, The Road to Serfdom, has sold more than 350,000 copies in the United States alone. And the modern right has enlisted Hayek as a political weapon: Why can’t those loony lefties acknowledge the simple and obvious truths that he understood?
Nadia Urbinati, Two Visions of Democracy: Debating Liberalism, Multiculturalism, and the Question of Tariq Ramadan
On few topics such as the one that concerns us here—that is, the relationship between liberal principles and religious cultures—the debate over the identity of the Left (i.e., progressive democracy views broadly conceived) clearly overlaps with the issue of the identity of democracy.
It seems to me that, for now, two positions have emerged: on the one hand, there are those who, questioning what they regard as a naive liberal ideal of toleration, acknowledge the existence of cultural and religious differences within a democratic community, but with one exception—Islam. On the other hand, there are those who question this exception insofar as they suggest we should be careful to articulate our judgment on the Islamic culture and think it is a mistake to regard it as a whole, as if it were a homogeneous world with no internal differences…

Islam can be funny. Here’s a couple of verses that are a hoot (or toot):
Bukhari (Hadith) Volume 1, Book 11, Number 582:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Adhan (the call to prayer) is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 595:
The Prophet said, “The Adhan pronounced by Bilal should not stop you from taking Suhur, for he pronounces the Adhan at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not mean that dawn or morning has started.” Then he (the Prophet) pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas’ud imitated the gesture of the Prophet). Az-Zuhri gestured with his two index fingers which he put on each other and then stretched them to the right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears. It spreads left and right horizontally. The dawn that appears in the high sky and lowers down is not the real dawn).
No wonder Turkey’s Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, “Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, is a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.”
But it has it’s funny side.

“Human rights are more important than anything-goes free speech”
Maxwell Yalden, National Post Published: Thursday, April 10, 2008
I wonder if it isn’t time for the National Post to cool its attacks on the Canadian Human Rights Commission (“The CHRC Doesn’t Get it,” editorial, April 8). Ask yourselves whether maybe, just maybe, it isn’t the Post that “doesn’t get it.” Try to take a look at the facts from a different perspective.
At the international level, the premier United Nations human rights treaty, the Covenant on Civil and Political rights, to which more than 150 countries, including Canada, are parties, asserts quite explicitly that ” advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred … shall be prohibited by law.” For more than 30 years, the judgments of the UN’s Human Rights Committee have been accepted worldwide.
The Canadian Human Rights Act, with its Section 13 forbidding material that exposes individuals to “hatred or contempt” on racial or religious grounds, simply follows these global standards. It also follows plain common sense.
——————–
Given the fascist left out, “that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt” – his whole argument is not only moot it is a deliberate lie.
Also, given the UN’s approved bill to make it illegal to criticize Islam, it is hardly a credible source of reference.
“Maxwell Yalden is a former Canadian Human Rights Commissioner and member of the UN Human Rights Committee.”
That explains it.
