Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

The person making the comment is "auditory challenged" or simply deaf.
Ann Romney clearly made reference to the people who may be under threat from the hurricane.
I heard nothing about the Romeys dancing on the graves of the departed.
The allegations are simply the rhetorical rantings of the stupid.
This person is in Ellen Barkin territory:

Ellen Barkin Hopes Hurricane Kills 'Every Pro-Life, Xenophobic, Gay-Bashing SOB' At The RNC
In the aftermath of the Family Research Council shooting, prominent voices on the Left have not tapped down their violent rhetoric against their opponents. Two Baby Boomer celebrities have taken to Twitter to hope pro-life, pro-family individuals and U.S. Congressman Todd Akin suffer a drowning or a same-sex rape, respectively.
On Sunday, Ellen Barkin expressed her hope that Tropical Storm Isaac would smash up the Republican National Convention in Tampa and drown all its delegates.
She retweeted the message of one of her followers that read: “C’mon #Isaac! Wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean! #RNC ” Barkin did not express any disagreement in her retweet.
The storm is expected to grow into a Category 1 hurricane before slamming into the Gulf Coast on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Yep, with bitter souls like that, you wouldn't expect a life preserver from the Titanic.

Conservative Mantra: "The Media is not the friend of ANY conservative. They will NEVER be your friend. Their mission in life is to destroy you. Never, ever trust them!"
Repeat 100 times every day!!!
As per usual, the leftists are ascribing their own views to conservatives. Leftists are no friends to blacks, not in the past, not now.
To which we reiterate Krauthammer's law:
"To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil."
And speaking of drowning, Ann Coulter:
"A liberal’s idea of being chivalrous is to hold the car door for you before driving you off a bridge." Ann Coulter
Much to the point is that for the present hurricane, Louisiana has a competent, Republican governor, rather than a corrupt Democrat hack.
Mia Love's wikipedia page was changed to call her a house nigger and a whore last night by the tolerant leftists.
How can this be?
The president is accountable if there are deaths in NO due to a hurricane, thats what we got told when Katrina hit.
The point that was made then, was that the harm could have been avoided but for the inaction of the president.
If there is harm this time, it must be because the current president does not care.
The media person must be talking about Obeyme.
Obama, the man who has command of FEMA, is not in Louisianna, he is off campaigning somewhere...he was in Iowa yesterday.
Today I am feeling statistical.
NETWORK VIEWERS FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY NIGHT 1
NBC 5.387 MILLION...
CBS 3.322 MILLION...
ABC 2.341 MILLION...
Cable News 4.5 million...
X 3 per house,
46.65 million.
X 6 Hispanic per house,
20 million...
Nice Party!
Turns out it wasn't an ABC employee who said those things on their feed. It was David Chalian, the Washington bureau chief for Yahoo, and a highly experienced journalist.
Whose career has just taken a hit.
At what point does the Republican party in particular and Americans in general finally admit that their mainstream media companies are at war with them? And have been for about forty years.
It's all a conspiracy, just like this:
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/science-technology/neil-armstrongs-death-faked-2012082839154
Well those Dems better hope there is no life-threatening hurricane when they have their convention.
Robert W, oh, that was so well said.
The left is totally sick and has been for over a hundred years. It is sad that so many people are mesmerized by their soothing words and do not see the Pol Pot behind every leftie.
You can't un-ring a Bell...I would guess the conversation was deliberately Aired..
With today’s Technology (~ time delay protection) you have to be incompetent, as a Broadcaster, for that to happen by accident...
"Whose career has just taken a hit."
I hate being right all of the time.
Regarding the LSM..do you expect anything else? I watched some of the speeches last night and for the most part they were excellent and powerful. A good mix of speakers and will be watching tonight expecting much of the same. You know these speeches are exploding leftie heads when they double down on proclaiming their vile comments.
bverwey
Scratch a leftist....
My bookmark to Yahoo is done, deleted, never to come back. I'm sick to *death* of these leftist journalists and their racist views, and their Obama worship, and their lying. They are *all* the same, fire one, and another will just appear to take his place.
Screw them.
Thank God for Kate's blog and others like it.
And here is the loser's twitter page:

Awfully silent all of a sudden.
Note also someone on the link made the false statement that Bush refused to send FEMA during Katrina. No, the due process is that the Governor of a State has to request federal assistance. Bush offered it and the woman who was governor, kept refusing Bush's federal assistance.
Also, the mayor of the city of New Orleans had no plan or idea how to evacuate and help citizens. The blame for the Katrina disaster was strictly local governance.
Remember the Ft. Hood massacre, and Obama was, as usual campaigning, and giving a speech to some firefighters, I think. [I may be wrong on these data references]. He barely mentioned the massacre before going into his campaign speech.
And Obama certainly isn't down there; he's campaigning elsewhere.
Ellen Barkin's vicious comments, however, are quite relevant of the mindset of the left towards anyone whom they consider unsubmissive to Their Will.
Very illuminating, as to the type of person that Yahoo management thought would be a good Bureau Chief in DC, isn't it?
To my mind, it calls into question the management's judgement.
Kathleen Blanco was the Governor and Ray Nagins was the mayor and ET was completely correct. This revisionist history of what happened during Katrina has to stop. Federal assistance was offered numerable times only to be denied by the Dem governor Blanco. Katrina wasn't supposed to be that bad as it actually missed the city but the local planning was disgraceful and I'd say criminal. Who has blood on their hands, Mr Nagin and Blanco. I'd say you clean up real good considering you can somehow blame the president when it is the normal Liberal smear campaign. As soon as Bush had authority he took action and decisive at that.
Every gun is loaded, and every mic is live. Dumbass.
Things they are a changin'. Time was a leftist could say anything he/she wanted about a Republican and there would be no consequences whatsoever. I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised this idiot was fired.
Of course, I fully expect to see him in the seat of honor at the DNC convention. Sitting next to him will be the moron who thought calling Mia Love a whore on her Wiki page was "speaking truth to power"....or something.
This revisionist history of what happened during Katrina has to stop.

Agree. People on the right seem to be competing with them to get all kinds of events wrong these days.
Is there a search engine that isn't a toady to the Dems? Just wondering.
I believe he was fired.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, as they say.
If people are going to be thoughtless and incredibly stupid, for maximum loss of dignity, film them cleaning out their desks.
The enemy of decent people is the sick tired old media and their brain dead friends in Hollywood. The 2 reasons I never buy a paper and only watch a movie if I like it, and it is on TV, they can go to hell with their 666 messiah Obongo and his ilk.
I wouldn't crap on a plate for this guy if he was starving to death.
So, Obama keeps to his fundraising schedule while the RNC suspends events - a complete inversion of the fake but accurate reporting of a "professional" reporter.
As Black Mamba said, treat every gun as loaded and every mic as live and you will never shoot yourself in the foot with your assumptions.
Fired or not, though, I find the bias injected into the reportage of almost all the talking heads to be so obvious that their editors can't possibly be merely sleeping at the switch - the entire news organizations must share the same assumptions or their product wouldn't have such a constant tilt left.
The idiot that said that vile comment, Chalian from Yahoo was fired.
ABC News should also fire the braying jackasses that laughed at his joke. But they will not.
I'm constantly amazed at the effectiveness of Dem partisan propaganda effectiveness. So many black Americans think of the Dems as the liberator party when history and stark fact dictate otherwise.
The Dem powerbase historically has always been the south with its apartheid social policies. Harry Truman gained office with open Klan support. Dems were supported by the Klan, and had routinely elected Klan reps. The Dems had a Klan grand wizard (David Duke) run in their presidential finals. Dems even had a long sitting Klan rep (Robert Byrd) in congress as late as 2007.
The welfare system has been created and used by Dems to create a vast urban plantation which imprisons blacks in a perpetual cycle of family break down and government/party reliance. Dems created the perpetual American underclass.
Dems were responsible for the US entering the 2 great wars and Vietnam. they ran a draft system which heavily recruited from the black community for front line service and were the last party to reluctantly agree to integrate the military ( they ran an apartheid military until the Republican Eisenhower administration fully integrated it. Oh, and of course it was a Republican (Lincoln) that abolished slave ownership.
How the Dems convinced Black Americans they are the racial freedom party is a testament to the propaganda efforts of the partisan liberal media.
It must be painful to walk around with all that hate. I pity Ms Barkin. Do you suppose she has real friends or anyone who actually likes her?
