Ever convince yourself that the words & actions of the Radical Left are merely annoying, but harmless? I believe there's a direct, albeit unintentional, connection between them and a woman dying in Vancouver today. I posted my thoughts here, being very careful to point out that they are just my opinion. But I believe my opinion to be most valid.

Over at LibLogs they are all absolutely gushing about Ignatieff's interview on the taxpayer funded CBC socialist travesty called "The Hour" with that strange Toronto metro-sexual guy George Stromble-something.

Wow. One socialist lobbing another socialist nice little softball questions and the bloggers are gaga that "Iggy used real words that people can understand".

The gist of the interview is that Iggy has declared war on Harper and is taking him DOWN.

So much for collaboration for the good of the country huh.

LOL:" "Wow. One socialist lobbing another socialist nice little softball questions and the bloggers are gaga that "Iggy used real words that people can understand"."

Take away the teleprompter/scripted text/burned-in ROM and the communication gets reduced to calling other people names and helpfull descriptives like "mean-spirited", "anti-democratic" and "not endorsed by the majority".

Many posts at SDA are not grammatically or spellingistually correct but I don't percieve a lack of insight or honesty.

Oops, sorry. Back to my cave, knuckles dragging.

"The gist of the interview is that Iggy has declared war on Harper and is taking him DOWN."

Well maybe the 4 people that still watch CBC, are the posters at, LibLogs.
They are dreaming in technicolor if they think he'll bring down the govt. Political suicide...

Thanks for posting the material about the lack of logic by the BC Civil liberties association in regard to the death of a homeless woman today.

The woman who burned to death was (most likely) in illegal possession of a shopping cart and the police had the option of arresting her for this crime. In addition she was illegally camping on the street; another offence for which they could have arrested her. Had they had done so the "civil liberties" moonbats would have gone ballistic even if this would have saved her life.

One reason why there are so many homeless people on Vancouver streets is due to a large degree to the drastic scaling back of the Riverview psychiatric hospital. The people that used to live there are incapable of living on their own and generally they are evicted from one apartment after another for their inability to comply with minimal standards of behavior.

Another reason is that Vancouver is a dumping ground for other cities in the west. When I was a medical student in Calgary I was somewhat surprised that one of the most common treatments there for schizophrenia was the "Greyhound treatment". This involved buying the patient a one-way bus ticket to Vancouver or Victoria and ensuring they got on the bus. This kept them off Calgary streets in the winter and they rarely came back.

I've been in Vancouver the last few days and find it amusing when people here go on about how cold it is. Having come in from the interior of BC, I find the temperature quite pleasant and have been walking around outside wearing just a T-shirt.

Oops, forgot to give attribution to Robert W in my above comment.

One message Iggy can take to the bank is 'DREAM ON'.

He seems to be warped in a world of professorial musings and high dudgeon for which he has no clue as to what it's all about.

In today's Ottawa Sun John Snobelen has a really good column, "Welcome to the Fidel plan". Best summary of the "coup that wasn't" I've read.

"The Hour" with that strange Toronto metro-sexual guy George Stromble-something."

George Syllableopolis, isn't it?

Another Muslim 'innovation' gone horribly wrong:

"Jihadist Group Trying to 'Invade' Facebook Gets Shut Down," (Fox News):

A quickly growing jihadist group that used Facebook to spread its radical message has been shut down by the popular Web networking site after FOXNews.com alerted the company to the group's activities.

Facebook blocked the group, Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra — Arabic for "Knights in Support of the Invasion" — Thursday evening after the group swelled to about 120 members in just over one week.

The group had been exhorting its members to wage "Jihad to aid the religion of Allah and his Prophet."

FOXNews.com, working closely with a former radical Muslim now dedicated to exposing cyberterror activity, was able to gain access to the group and its content.

Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra wrote that its purpose was "to support Jihad and Mujihadeen" and that it started the Facebook group "to invade this Web site" and to ask "Allah to grant us Jihad and martyrdom."

It promised future action: "Today we invade your sites, tomorrow your lands and homes, o you cross worshippers."
The site's contents included three graphic videos:
— A so-called "martyr" statement from a soon-to-be homicide bomber;
— An Islamic militant, just before dying in battle, asking others to position him for proper prayer to bless his actions.
— A purported Egyptian "traitor" being beheaded on camera because he was accused of helping Americans in Iraq.
A few members of the group posted photos to identify themselves, known as profile pictures, that included well known members of Al Qaeda's leadership as well as prominent Saudi clerics.

One of the group's founders, who called himself Omar Abdel Hakeem, after the Syrian cleric who wrote the book on how to instruct Al Qaeda followers to use technology, wrote a mission statement to inspire "Jihad" against "the cross worshippers," or Christians:

"Maybe the day will come when one of the martyrs is asked [by Allah] who urged you to Jihad, so he answers saying: a message came to me from Facebook asking me to support the Mujihadeen. The message impacted me therefore I went to Jihad to destroy the places of the cross worshippers."

There's an essay by Ignatieff in the National Post today. Quite incredible. It outlines clearly his view of himself, Canada, the world. It's not a constructive but a disturbing presentation.

He is moving into the traditional Liberal reductionist strategy of 'let's all feel good, get along together and love each other'. By this I mean that the Liberal strategy has been to minimize and isolate dissent, questions, debate, analysis. Instead of this hard rational interaction which involves us all in the future of our country, the Liberal strategy has been to reject dissent and debate, and therefore the exercise of reason..and move us into living only on the emotional level. And only one emotion - that of acceptance of anything. No questions. No dissent.

Notice how when we have questioned the role of the Bloc in the Coalition, we have been chastized for 'bashing Quebec' rather than criticizing the role of an isolate regional party in decision-making.

Then, Ignatieff moves into the second part of this mantra is the off-repeated nonsense that 'Canada is the best in the world, and the most tolerant and the most...etc". Again, such reductionist claims rejects our right to self-examine ourselves, to question ourselves, to dissent, debate and participate in our future.

Since we are 'the best', and we are 'tolerant', this means that we are NOT ALLOWED TO DOUBT. Such a repression of doubt is actually a key strategy of all Sovereignist Rule.

The Liberal rhetoric doesn't deal with reality. It operates only within the realm of fiction, a fictional account of ourselves and others created by our Sovereign, by our Ruling Party, to calm and soothe us into submission to its rules.

This declared tolerance ignores reality, it rejects the reality that Canada rejects freedom of speech.

The reality that Canada has set up a balkanized immigration framework - one which the Conservatives are working to undo - is ignored. The Liberals set up immigrants into isolate groups, told them to 'stay as you were in the old country', discouraged integration, discouraged collaboration, and thus kept them economically isolated.. and funded them for this narrowness of perspective. In return for their votes. The Conservatives are working to encourage integration, collaboration across cultures, shared future agendas.

Bilingualism set up a framework of power, which, because it is fiction rather than reality, moved this governmental power into the bubble isolation of cabals in Montreal-Ottawa.

Ignatieff's rhetoric promotes what he calls a 'stable government' over differences - and tell us that all that is needed to manage 'all problems' is a stable government. What the heck does that mean? Dictatorships provide stable government; that's their basic nature.

Notice that Ignatieff is betraying that his ideology fits right in with the Old Liberal Modus Operandi - that of the Sovereign Ruler, he who rules over the multitude and masses by divine right, he who makes the decisions for them and rejects their right to 'doubt', to question, to do anything other than 'accept'. Power to the Ruler rather than Power of, by, for, the People.

Then, Ignatieff says of Canada, that: "Our vocation in the world is to help other countries deepen and develop their citizenship as we have deepened and developed our own."

Incredible, the pompous vanity, the arrogant self-congratulatory assertion of supremacy and the idea that such perfection, superior as it is to that of other peoples, means that we must Guide and Rule and Teach the less-perfect in the world. All this arrogance - in one sentence.

So, it's clear that Ignatieff is setting himself up as a Sovereign. Many Canadians feel comfortable with this infrastructure - that reliance on government rather than the self. This has been the ideology since colonization. But I maintain that the new Canada isn't as simple and passive as the Old Canada and won't support being moved back into the realm of the hapless ruled.

From Hot Air
With the elimination of much higher levels of "over-manning" in parts of British industry that were heavily unionized and subsidized, unemployment doubled to 12% in Mrs. Thatcher's first three years in office.

Yet by sticking to her policies of lightened regulation, reduced trade barriers, privatization of a raft of publicly owned companies, reduced taxation, and the adoption of laws to prevent abuses of union power, Mrs. Thatcher achieved something few if any of today's economists have begun to consider. She achieved a genuine, productivity-led recovery that transformed Britain from perennial basket case into the Europe's most improved and vibrant economy.

"Ignatieff is setting himself up as a Sovereign."

A sovereign and a platitudinous blowhard to boot. He's not speaking TO Canadians, he's speaking FOR them. As in, "The rights enshrined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms exhort us all to narrow the gap between the Canada we live in and the Canada we know we can build together."

Yeah, we're all exhorted by the Charter.

Here's the punchline -- and I thought for a second it was a joke: "Copyright 2007 by Michael Ignatieff and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."

"Polar Albedo Feedback
20 12 2008

by Steven Goddard
Today is a day of note in Antarctic. The sun has reached it’s highest point in the sky, and never sets. The amount of incoming solar radiation is at it’s peak for the year, and the radiation balance is strongly affected by the reflectivity (albedo) of the surface. Open ocean absorbs much of the the sunlight, whereas ice reflects it back out into space.

One of the most popular global warming feedbacks is considered to be changes in the extent of polar ice. The story goes that as the ice melts, more heat gets absorbed in the ocean, leading to higher temperatures. Today we test that theory.

According to NSIDC, Antarctic ice extent is nearly 20% above normal, as seen in the graph and map below."

"If the theory is correct, the large amount of excess ice should be cooling Antarctica - and that is exactly what we see happening. Temperatures in Antarctica have been running persistently below normal, as seen in the maps below."

Thank's 'ET'. That is a cut and dried statement and right to problem with 'Iggies' outlook. He may lead the lieberals but they are still running the same rhetoric propaganda. The old Canada is gone, thanks to the computer and their access to the blog-sphere.

ebd - yes, a sovereign and a platudinous blowhard. Pompous, arrogant platitudes.

This style, again, is the hallmark of the Liberal mode. It views government as a set of elites who alone have the Wisdom to act as a Sovereignty, ruling over the masses.

The agenda is to reduce dissent in the name of 'stability'. Such reduction of a population's Right-To-Reason, which necessarily includes the Requirement-To-Doubt and Question in favour of an existence lived only within the emotions of 'we must put up with each other' means that the population has been stripped of participation in governance.

We aren't allowed to question, debate, analyze. After all, the whole coalition was based on rejecting all three processes of Reasoning.

Furthermore, the people are moved away from observing and commenting on reality and moved into living only within the Fictional World as created by the Stable State Government.

We question the democratic nature of the Coalition? We are told by our Sovereigns that, even if we didn't know it at the time, EVERY ballot we marked that was for ANY and ALL non-Conservatives parties was actually a Vote For the Coalition.
Whew..and here we thought we were just voting for the NDP. Or the Liberal Candidate. Nope. We were voting for The Coalition.

And if we question the Bloc's role in this Coalition, we are told, roughly, that we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for 'Quebec bashing'. Heck, and here we thought it was only about the Bloc as a party out of the electoral reach of over 80% of us. Oh well.

If we question why this Brave Coalition that Represents The Majority doesn't say anything about the proposed loss of their taxpayer subsidies - we are told that this didn't concern the coalition at all. The real problem was that there wasn't any 'economic stimulus' in the deal. Oh.
But what's an 'economic stimulus'? What does that mean? Silence.
Do you mean giving our tax money to private industries - and only some not all? Silence.

So it goes. The Liberal mode is pure propaganda. The agenda has only one goal. Power. That's all. Then, you tax and tax the people, and return this money to special interest groups. In return for votes. In some business areas this is called bribery. And extortion. To the Liberals, its The Sovereign Way.

The problem with this as an economic strategy is that it STOPS economic development dead. Taxes are so high that people can't develop their own industries and businesses. The Canadian economy becomes a dependent one, making parts for cars designed and built elsewhere; making copies of drugs designed and tested elsewhere; setting up copycat franchises of businesses owned elsewhere. Selling raw resources.
All to the USA. So, when that economy reduces, we reduce because we are bonded to the US economy.

Now, the Conservative agenda is focused on Power, not to the government, but to the people. Therefore, taxes are reduced, small and medium business development is encouraged, infrastructure of roads, water, transportation is developed to enable these businesses to operate.

Reality versus fiction - that's the choice.
Sovereign government versus Democratic government - that's the choice.

Still like to know who silenced Liberal mouthpiece Scott Reid? He hasn't been heard from since he wrote about "killing" Harper.

Two words describe the coalition, 'power grab'.

The Liberals couldn't wait to choose a new leader the democratic way, they crowned one. To do that they booted out the one who was chosen by delegates, Dion and the other contender, Rae, who they gave no option but to bow out.

The reasons were obvious, they think they can yet again fool the people with an unknown quantity that is Ignatieff. Rae was a bit too well known, no room for BS.

They think can paint a rosy picture of this tall stranger with the help of the adoring media and like the Rubes they think we are we'll buy it.

The beat goes on with the Liberals, they continue to insult our intelligence.

Lenin = Taliban Jack Layton(NDP).
Their physiognomies/mugs are uncannily alike.

"The Quiet Revolution rolls forward

WESTERN CIVILISATION at the present day is passing through a crisis which is essentially different from anything that has been previously experienced. Other societies in the past have changed their social institutions or their religious beliefs under the influence of external forces or the slow development of internal growth. But none, like our own, has ever consciously faced the prospect of a fundamental alteration of the beliefs and institutions on which the whole fabric of social life rests. . . .Civilisation is being uprooted from its foundations in nature and tradition and is being reconstituted in a new organisation which is as artificial and mechanical as a modern factory.

Christopher Dawson. Enquiries into Religion and Culture, p259.

MOST of Satan's work in the world he takes care to keep hidden. But two small shafts of light have been thrown onto his work for me just recently. The first, a short article in the Association of Catholic Women's ACW Review; the second, a remark (which at first surprised me) from a priest in Russia who claimed that we now, in the West, live in a Communist society. These shafts of light help, especially, to explain the onslaught of officialdom which in many countries worldwide has so successfully been removing the rights of parents to be the primary educators and protectors of their children.

The ACW Review examined the corrosive work of the 'Frankfurt School' - a group of German-American scholars who developed highly provocative and original perspectives on contemporary society and culture, drawing on Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Weber. Not that their idea of a 'cultural revolution' was particularly new. 'Until now', wrote Joseph Comte de Maistre (1753-1821) who for fifteen years was a Freemason, 'nations were killed by conquest, that is by invasion: But here an important question arises; can a nation not die on its own soil, without resettlement or invasion, by allowing the flies of decomposition to corrupt to the very core those original and constituent principles which make it what it is'.

What was the Frankfurt School? Well, in the days following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, it was believed that workers' revolution would sweep into Europe and, eventually, into the United States. But it did not do so. Towards the end of 1922 the Communist International (Comintern) began to consider what were the reasons. On Lenin's initiative a meeting was organised at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow."

"Government to pastor: Renounce your faith!

A Canadian human rights tribunal ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, according to a new report.

In a decision dated May 30 in the penalty phase of the quasi-judicial proceedings run by the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal, evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson was banned from expressing his biblical perspective of homosexuality and ordered to pay $5,000 for "damages for pain and suffering" as well as apologize to the activist who complained of being hurt."

I get the feeling that Canada and all of us ignorant taxpayers are just part of an Ignatieff social expiriment.

He is so methodically "nuanced" about everything, throwing out the lie of the "big dream" and clverly designed plays on words using "aspirations" and plays on the old socialist/Monarchist entreties like "WE the people" really meaning "YOU - MY PEOPLE".

How about "Mr. Harper - walk back down that hill"!!!! I'll bet he practiced that in the mirror along with the staged arm and eyebrow movements.

It is like watching an actor faking sincerity when what he really wants is adoration.

I ask again - Does Michael Ignatieff and his adoring throng of pseudo-elite media fans really think we are stupid, pliable and oh so ready for a saviour that we become his puppets.

And then he will write a few books about how HE redeemed a nation that, until his sanctimonious arrival, was lost to the heathen Conservatives.

I can barely stand to watch him being interviewed more than a minute and I get that chill of impending evil up the back of my spine.

My mother always said to trust your intuitions and my Spidey sense tingles big time with this man. Can't even quite put my finger on it and it has nothing to do with him being Liberal.

Just saw this on Fox News Site - Read it and you will kiss your computer keyboard that you were not born 500 years ago...

Here are some facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting
to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the
bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a …dead ringer..

"Lib Radio Host: Record Snows and Cold Caused By Global Warming"

The liberal mind never ceases to amaze me.

Our nation is experiencing record snows and cold spells, and Air America host Thom Hartmann actually told his audience Friday:

What we are seeing in this cold, that has me trapped in my house here today, is that, what we are seeing is a symptom of global warming. But you wouldn't know that from the crazies on the right.

Speaking of lunacy, Hartmann was so proud of this moment in broadcast history that he created an mp3 of his explanation as to why global warming is making us all freeze to death, and not only posted it [1] at Air America's website, but also included an embed feature if folks wanted to share his astounding stupidity with others.

According to Jack Layton, Stephen Harper does not have the confidence of the House, therefore he can't appoint Senators, that would be undemocratic, Jack says.

But the billions of dollars in hand out money to Layton's union cronies in the UAW, that's perfectly acceptable, even though these organized jokers have refused to contribute by wage reduction, leaving people like the workers at Walmart and 7-11 to pick up the tab.

Jack's all for the workers, but just the unionized ones.

Jack Layton, you are a hypocrite!!
