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."

Logan said a lot of very 'conservative' things in her speech, but this is perhaps the most critical as it relates to fighting Islamic supremicism (17:50 mark):

"Roman Warm Period (Europe - Central) -- Summary
Climate alarmists contend that the degree of global warmth over the latter part of the 20th century was greater than it has been at any other time over the past one to two millennia, because this contention helps support their claim that what they call the "unprecedented" temperatures of the past few decades were CO2-induced. Hence, they cannot stomach the thought that the Medieval Warm Period of a thousand years ago could have been just as warm as, or even warmer than, it has been recently, especially since there was so much less CO2 in the air a thousand years ago than there is now. Likewise, they are equally loath to admit that temperatures of the Roman Warm Period of two thousand years ago may also have rivaled, or exceeded, those of the recent past, since atmospheric CO2 concentrations at that time were also much lower than they are today. As a result, climate alarmists rarely even mention the Roman Warm Period, as they are happy to let sleeping dogs lie. In addition, they refuse to acknowledge that these two prior warm periods were global in extent, claiming instead that they were local phenomenon restricted to lands surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean. In another part of our Subject Index we explore these contentions as they apply to the Medieval Warm Period. In this Summary, we explore them as they pertain to the Roman Warm Period, beginning with Central Europe."

"Spain keelhauled by Germany and AAA chicanery"
"As Gary Jenkins from Swordfish says this morning: Spain is junked if it does, and junked if it doesn’t.
A key reason for Standard & Poor’s two-notch downgrade of Spain to near junk last night is the refusal of premier Mariano Rajoy to bite the bullet on a rescue. His "hesitation" is "potentially raising the risks to Spain’s rating".
By contrast, Moody’s said earlier that it will cut Spain to junk if it DOES request a bail-out. What a marvellous mess."

Mark Steyn: The Sesamization of America
Apparently, Frank Sinatra served as Mitt Romney’s debate coach. As he put it about halfway through That’s Life:
“I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly.”
That’s what Mitt did in Denver. Ten minutes in, he jumped right on Big Bird, and then he took off — and never looked back, while the other fellow, whose name escapes me, never got out of the gate. It takes a certain panache to clobber not just your opponent but also the moderator. Yet that’s what the killer Mormon did when he declared that he wasn’t going to borrow money from China to pay for Jim Lehrer and Big Bird on PBS. It was a terrific alpha-male moment, not just in that it rattled Lehrer, who seemed too preoccupied contemplating a future reading the hog prices on the WZZZ Farm Report to regain his grip on the usual absurd format, but in the sense that it indicated a man entirely at ease with himself — in contrast to wossname, the listless sourpuss staring at his shoes.

I like bread and wheat products.
Sandwiches were my main meal when I grew up.
And I saw a doctor once every ten years for 60 years whether I needed to or not.
But it sounds like the 'new' wheat is not the same as the old wheat I knew and ate.

"Why were we ‘lied to’?"
"Jason Chaffetz, left, and Trey Gowdy during “The Security Failures of Benghazi” hearing Wednesday. “I’d like to have another hearing where we can ask Ambassador Rice, under oath, ‘Who told you what, when?’” Gowdy said Wednesday. “I want to know why we were lied to.”"
"WASHINGTON — Republicans used a politically charged House hearing on Wednesday to assail the Obama administration about its changing explanations over a deadly attack at the U.S. consulate in Libya.
One top Republican demanded the resignation of Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, while another lawmaker bluntly wanted to know “why we were lied to.”
In the days following the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three diplomatic personnel, Ms. Rice said the assault was a “spontaneous” protest against an anti-Muslim video.
And in statements immediately after the attack, neither President Barack Obama nor Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mentioned terrorism, and both gave credence to the notion that the attack was related to protests about the privately made anti-Islam video.
But late on Tuesday, the U.S. State Department debunked that explanation, saying it had always believed the assault was terrorism committed by an unprecedented number of armed people.
Asked about the administration’s initial explanation linking the violence to the video, a State Department official said, “That was not our conclusion.”

re:wheat
always beware of a man making outrageous claims who has a book to sell. 440 more calories a day could be explained by lack of self control but it is much easier for fat people to blame their "condition" on a factor out of their control rather then take personal responsibility for their actions. I believe people are losing weight that are turning away from wheat but is this due to the fact that they are finally paying attention to what they consume? if you have 150 lbs to lose chances are you had a piss poor diet to begin with.

"State Department Followed Benghazi Attack as It Happened"
"The U.S. State Department monitored the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, “in almost real-time,” according to an official who oversees diplomatic security.
Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, said a security agent activated a danger-notification system as the attack began shortly before 10 p.m. local time on Sept. 11.
“From that point on, I could follow what was happening in almost real time,” Lamb said in written testimony prepared for a hearing today by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has been investigating the attack and whether security was adequate."

"So they knew what happened blow-by-blow. They never believed in the video. So where did the story that the attack was provoked by a video come from?
