Blog Notes

My latest on the "arrest Ann Coulter" craze sweeping Canadian campuses...

Amuse ourselves? Careful what you wish for! You may have just sounded the klaxon to summon all of the sub-bridge dwellers!

Kathy aren't these the same people who helped promote that London event with you & Ezra Levant awhile back? Later you should send them a thankyou card.

Third.

I assume this is amusing. There's an awful lot of it on these internets.

If the HRCs are dumb enough to take on Ann Coulter, they'll get exactly what they deserve.

I know Vit said last evening that a thread about the events in the United States was coming, but I thought I would get you all thinking. By the way that was fantastic organ music on last evening's Reader's Tips.

With the US Congressional vote yesterday, did we witness the beginning of the end of the great experiment that began in 1776?

Kathy - fired off an email to Mr. Houle voicing my opinion - I added a few choice quotes on tryanny for good measure. Jennifer Lynch is too much of a coward to face Coulter in person.

We passed a(nother) depressing benchmark, over the weekend. Now more than 15K since 9/11

Read the Ann Colter thingie. If the Provost wants to check out hate speech she should start with the people that 'see' it and then use hate speech when they discover another view exists. See sweety, conservatives make choices fit for them. Lefties want the world to conform to their opinion. Dang uni's are full of slow people.

There are a number of reasons to be extremely pessimistic about last night's vote to overtly socialize medicine in the the United States.

This legislation will be very difficult if not impossible to repeal, for various procedural and political reasons.

My view of the legislation is that Americans are about to start receiving Canadian style health care at American style prices, given the stark differences in tort law between our two countries.

This measure will be the final push into bankruptcy for the United States. Its currency is now set firmly on the path to worthlessness. In the next twenty years, like it or not, China will become the world's foremost military and geopolitical power.

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams (The Works of John Adams, ed. C. F. Adams, Boston: Little, Brown Co., 1851, 4:31)

I want Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!

In anticipation of Ann Coulter's appearance in London tonight (of which I shall be in attendance), some of the children that attend that school have set up a blog to allow you to express your concerns. Although I have registered
and submitted two comments ( both respectful), they haven't yet appeared. Only one posted comment so far. I guess their concern it not resonating with the rest of the campus.

Perhaps some readers here might want to offer their two-cents worth.

Get Rush here

"Dang uni's are full of slow people."

Understatement of the year.

Kathy Shaidle said

As my husband quipped: “Maybe it sounded better in the original German…”

Good line. I'll have to use that.

atric,

As usual the left want no such thing as an opposing opinion. For that reason, the comments option is turned off.

One of Coulters books is titled "How To Speak To A Liberal If You Must".

Perhaps a more accurate title would have been "How To Speak To A Liberal If They Will Let You".

Sorry atric but as lefties always do they have turned off the comments section.

The whole purpose of that blog was to receive and post comments from "concerned" individuals.
Another Leftie idea down in flames.
When will they ever learn???

I think I might take a trip to Calgary and show this great woman some real Canadian hospitality.

Too bad our governments won't target their funding to universities to only those departments that actually produce something, like engineering and medicine. Arts faculties need not apply.

Came across this comment on a blog. I thought it noteworthy. "When people fear government you have tyranny. When government fears people you have Justice."

Brent Weston @ 1:08, I guess that answers my question of 12:55.

Oh good that counteringcoulter website has an "other viewpoints" section where they pull a sentence with a spelling mistake in it out of context in a vain attempt to make them look stupid.

It's still very telling that they have 2 blog posts and about 20 'alternative viewpoints'.

"Dang uni's are full of slow people."

I do recall Concordia U. denying Netanyahu his scheduled speaking engagement there.

A new Facebook group that I'm sure the MSM will be covering 24/7 any minute now:

Canadians against Liberals Proroguing Themselves and Abdicating Their Democratic Responsibility

Re Kathy's 12:21 p.m. post, some idiot called Voting Woman at the "Countering Coulter" blog (la Shaidle provides link) comments, "Ann Coulter laughs in the face of democracy, I thank the creators of this blog for trying to restore it."

Obviously, "Voting Woman" shouldn't have a vote as she has no concept of what democracy is all about. VW, it's not about allowing only opinions with which you agree, sorry to disillusion you, but about allowing all opinions, some which might challenge your own world view.

I know that's tough news to take, VW, but that's democracy, in a nutshell.

OK, Ken. :)

The cbc had a thread up on Ann Coulter. It is gone. I asked the question if it seems normal for a uni official to warn a guest that there was no free speech at a free thinking uni. I also put in a plug for Ann and asked if the Provost was going to yank student ID's of those that disrupted with hateful speech.

They should do more than "yank student IDs". They should expel them.

I'll bet they'd welcome Ahmadinejad with open arms, though, all in the name of free speech (for me but not for thee).

This is an honest question for Kate.

Do you ever wake up and just, ya know, not want to blog or have anything to do with the computer or blogging on a particular day?

The fact that your internet was down made me wonder whether you were feeling anxious to get back online and blog..or relieved because you got an unintended break from it.

Cheers!

Blogging is addictive, Dan.

"Blogging is addictive..." OMG! I can see a research grant coming, and a peer reviewed paper in the Journal Of The Blatantly Obvious.

Mind you, Kate is right, it is better than yelling at your radio, TV, computer, or whatever.

The fact that your internet was down made me wonder whether you were feeling anxious to get back online and blog..or relieved because you got an unintended break from it.

A little of both. :)
