QOTD:

“These people aren’t worth any more to me than a groundhog. They have our country in havoc. We got so many damned crooked people walking around today.” -- 92-year-old farmer Earl Jones, after shooting an intruder through the heart with a .22 caliber rifle.

"I was hoping another one would come up - I aimed right for his heart. I didn't go to war for nothing."

Can't stand Obama? It's Bush's fault:

"Youth Enthusiasm for President Obama is nowhere near where it was in 2008 because of decisions made during the Bush years, according to Obama campaign senior advisors Robert Gibbs…"

PQ victory in the Quebec election? http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/09/04/quebec-election-results-2012/
Separatism? ok, now git 'er done!

Highly recommended: The Washington Times' 5 questions with Arthur Davis. (Davis is the highly popular black Alabaman politician who switched from the Democrats to the Republicans earlier this year).

In response to a question about why he lost faith in Obama, Davis replied:

"President Obama ran on two central themes in the fall of 2008: that he would devote his presidency to transcending our political and ideological divisions, and that he would restore the economy to good health. What he has given us is the most relentlessly ideological presidency in my lifetime, a political operation that shamelessly cultivates division, and the most inept economic recovery since the 1930s — one so weak most Americans haven’t felt it. The Obama administration has also managed to shift the Democratic Party to a place where it is as intolerant of opposing viewpoints as the Washington establishment routinely imagines Republicans to be."

Read the whole thing - including his highly-positive assessment Mitt Romney, and why he left the Democrats and became a Republican - here.

Stuart, yes, one Quebec socialist party won, and two socialist parties lost. Some choice for the non socialist minded.

This is a psychological defeat for the PQ.

After 9 yrs of Liberal, the PQ should had won this hand on with a strong majority.

Pauline has to go. She is a burden.
She can't do anything... She wont be able to cancel the tuition hike with the CAQ and the Lib there.

This is depressing.

CTV's reporter, a BLOND, missed completely an incident that prompted Marois' removal from the podium.

What a bunch of arseholes, MSM.....

I was watching Pauline Marois speaking on Sun News, and suddenly while I looked away for a moment security guards had come to the podium and hustled her out. Apparently a shot had rung out. Now she is speaking again.

No link for this as yet.

Now they are saying it smells like tear gas or possibly a fire outside. Confusing at the moment.

David Akin just said a man with a rifle outside the building has been arrested and handcuffed.

Interesting stuff from Sun News.
It seems that in Toronto - according to govt statistics - every 1 in 4 gay people has HIV. In Canada it is 1 in every 6 gays.
What I wonder is why these numbers are NOT on the first page of newspapers and why nobody tells children in school about it? Because if it is true we may be looking at future epidemic (and at increasing cost of healthcare), particularly with present pro-gay lifestyle propaganda at schools.
In my view both children and their parents need to know the statistics and the probability of getting HIV when living particular lifestyle.

There was an anglophone political terror attack this night against the PQ.

Clearly... this is intolerable and there will be very serious consequence.

Ella - how does anyone know how many gays there are?

And let's penalize him as harshly as we did the murderers of Pierre laporte.

I highly doubt this was some anglo terror plot their dippper... more likely a hardcore FLQ member

james : The shooter yelled "Les anglais se reveillent"(the english are waking up) in french with an anglo accent as he was escorted to the police car.

This is definitively anglophone terror.

Bring in a ban on long guns.

/oh, wait.

Yeah, because terrorists always wear bathrobes. Time to register bathrobes.

Re: Tennessee Waltz by Pee Wee King

Seems a tad fast!! Twas very hard to control the speed on a 78 RPM mechanical record player. One drop of light oil (IE: 3 in 1 oil) on the govornor shaft would correct the problem. Sometimes. It was possible to check the rpms by dropping a penny on the record and using a one minute count.

Once the units became powered by 110-120 volt AC 60 cycle electricity, the drive motor turned at a constant speed. Gummed up gears and components could however slow it down.

Come on guys--lets not jump to conclusion and start analyzing some whacko who brought a gun to the PQ victory party. Nothing says that the incident was aimed at the PQ.

The election itself was a total disaster for the PQ. They don`t need an assassin to enhance it.

To translate a quote from famous French writer Guy de Maupassant. "There is no odour sweeter than the decaying body of a dead enemy."

Mao Stlong* Lepolt.

"“F–k your mother! You dare check my car? If you aren’t killed today I will have joined the Party for nothing,” the official was quoted as saying..."

Good.

Wow, some of the comments on the NP link about the QC election are ridiculous. I am glad we in the US don't have a monopoly on the brain dead liberal mindset.

I also can't believe the short sightedness of these separatists. Do they think the US will look kindly at a "new" foreign neighbor on her northern border?

LOL, they appear to be just a bunch of bratty little children kicking and screaming to get their way. I hope Harper spanks them soundly.

Krauthammer On Michelle Obama's Speech: "I Didn't Buy A Line Of It"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/04/krauthammer_on_michelle_obama_it_was_a_great_speech_but_i_didnt_buy_a_line_of_it.html

I'm with him. She's a master -- and I mean MASTER -- of BS. There isn't a sincere bone in the woman's body but she knows how to twitch everyone's tear ducts. I'm sure Obama got all "misty" at home in the White House watching Michelle with his daughters.

Mark Shields at PBS said it was a "genius" speech. It was: a genius of deceptive charm. Barack Obama went to the Punahou School, once known as Oahu College, one of the most prestigious private schools in Honolulu -- but Michelle says "You see Barack and I were both raised by families that did not have much in the way of money or material possessions ..."

That may have been true in one way, but Barack Obama has been a genius at using his multi-culti background to affirmative-action advantage.

Michelle's speech was a sly hagiography: She turned Obama into Saint Barack. What a guy!

What a bullshi**er/shyster Michelle is.

'Looks like the National Review Online site has been hacked.

This is the message you get when you open the site:

Does anyone know what this actually means? I tried to open Jonah Goldberg's article on Michelle Obama's sick-making speech and it's been hacked. I left the site immediately!

You know the Leftards are getting desperate when they have to revert to hacking sites on the Right: here, it's Sun Media, there, it's National Review.

It's going to be a nasty fight, with the Left fighting dirty. Is anyone surprised?

Les deux nations: Montreal and Quebec.

La xenophobia s'explodes; but, not from Montreal.

The National Review's up and running now.

Here's Jonah Goldberg's take on Moochelle's Moochfest:

She did a good job! Will it make much differenc?

Maybe.

http://pjmedia.com/blog/zombies-how-the-left-captured-academia-the-media-and-other-organizations/?singlepage=true

"The rightful goal of the media is to permit the public to be aware of all facts relevant to public debate, including facts supportive of liberal views, conservative views, and any and all other views. When things have reached the point where, as Roger L. Simon points out, reporters are afraid of being fired should they report facts supportive of conservative views, then we have a “Zombie Media,” one no longer serving its rightful function. It has been taken over by a hostile organization, shows merely the semblance of life, and is in fact supporting a purpose inimical to that which it is properly expected to perform."

TrueNorthist, you need to look no further than the political pundit panel at PBS to see the truth of Simon's observation about the Zombie Media.

Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, and Mark Shields are now among friends and they're smiling their heads off. At least David Brooks is attempting to ask some difficult questions, like his comment after Michelle's speech, which had been hailed as "brilliant" by the Bobble-head Triplets.

After admitting that the FLOTUS's speech was very effective, Brooks pointed out that unless the DNC talks about unemployemnt and the deficit, they're in trouble. He wasn't smiling like an idiot like Shields, Ifill, and Woodruff were.

TrueNorthist, shutting down the press or muzzling it is a trademark of the left. In the fall of 1917 Lenin immediately began shutting down the Russian press that was not supportive of the Bolsheviks.

This time around they have done it by stealth and increments through the journalism schools. They just have not yet shut down the little opposition press that there is. Although the CBC has infiltrated the National Post to some extent.

Double/Triple Negative Nancy: "“Whether it rains or not is not in the president’s control.”"

O's searching for 9,000 sinners.

74,000 = 20,000 X 2, er3 + 10,000.

Try again: 74,000 = 74,00o'narcissists - O'narcissist "because of the possibility of severe weather."

>>> "The 65,000 people, mostly from the local area, who had “community- credentials” to attend the outdoor speech won’t be able to get into the Time Warner arena, the party officials said."

"“I feel it is an insult to the people I’m dealing with. For me to feign outrage, for example, feels to me like I’m not taking the American people seriously," Obama said. "I’m absolutely positive that I’m serving the American people better if I’m maintaining my authenticity. And that’s an overused word. And these days people practice being authentic. But I’m at my best when I believe what I am..."

As Rush is want to say, here is a "random act of journalism" by CNN. They are challenging the claim by the Dems that Obama has created 4.5 million jobs.

Re your post, Indiana Homez: I'm thinking that CNN wants to steal viewers from Fox. They seem to have awakened from their slumber and to realize that there's no future in pandering to the Left.

Am I dreaming?

MSNBC kicks black female out of their setup at DNC because she had a Romney/Ryan sign.

https://twitter.com/kiradavis422/status/243451280645820416

The Dems have been caught with their "hands in the cookie jar", and have tried to put the half-eaten cookie back.

They gotta do something batb!

But for now, I'm still chalking it up to a "random act of journalism".

O'rats erupt into chaos over da Jewsrusalem?

O's 'rats have stumbled over the Wailing Wall as Rahm Emanuel hits the road before the stinkbomb erupted.

Must be PM Harper's fault. He did stick up for Benny and the boys, no?

By the way, did Red Tory Joe Clark ever find his luggage?

The Guardian - ‎26 minutes ago‎
The Democratic national convention in Tampa has been plunged into chaos with a row over Israel threatening to overshadow Bill Clinton's speech as the second day of business was mired in a clumsy and embarrassing climbdown."
