Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
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."

Because you don’t need any rights from being interfered with by government; as all dictators are really swell guys who would never dream of droning you!!
Welcome to the Obama-Nation(tm) and the New World Order…have we got an internment camp for you! As you know, the “Uber-Stasi” NSA are watching you anyway so they know everything about you. Just think of it as a large prison, where instead of the Iron Curtain, now you have the “Electronic Curtain” where your freedom is just an illusion. So why bother with closing Guantanamo, it just a reflection of the “Uber-Prison”.
Vellcome to ze New Vorld Order ja?!
Just step right up and sign your rights away here all you dysfunctional illiterates!
Ain’t life grand…?

Unbelievable!!! Makes you wonder how a guy like that could even keep a straight face…other than being so shocked as to actually see and hear his fellow citizens absolutely clueless and braindead as to agree to throw away the country which has given them so much freedom.
My Grandfather was a dual citizen, of Canada and the USofA, having fled the USSR, and every time he spoke of America he would start to cry and thank God for the freedom and opportunity he had to be in the Nation. I believe he would be crying now for a completely different reason, if he were see this video…
Second civil war, same as first .. fighting over states rights.Libs against non libs?
This just shows how pathetically DUMB some folks can be. No wonder they’re falling and falling.
I don’t suppose our citizenry are any brighter, though.
Was it Churchill who said it thus, “The best argument against democracy is five minutes spent talking with the average voter.” ?
I’d like to think that they are just inattentive and stop listening after he says “Help Obama” but I know better than that.
Mark Dice just keeps proving the dismal failure of the public education system and the vacant wasteland that is Amerikan pop culture.
While there are so many thing that can be said about the people who signed the petition ….. none of them good….what I find most amazing about this petition drive is that they are so willing to put their full name in signature form on ANYTHING handed to them by a stranger. The petitioner should have taken it a step further just to see if he could get away with it. He should have asked for their Social Security Number.
H.L. Mencken is a wonderful source of quotations on people and government. Here’s one of my favorites: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”
and another: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
And if you’re feeling especially cynical about “common people” you might read “The Marching Morons”, a short SF story by C.H. Kornbluth (1951).
gadzooks. There will be some very harsh lessons in the future for these people and their children.
And they wonder how Hitler got in power!
the march FORWARD of the terminally stupid continues unabated.
This video makes a very strong argument not only for voter identification, but a minimum competency test. As these individuals are now on the record, with name and birthdate, as being against individual freedom I don’t see how they could argue that they have signed away their right to vote.
One, One dayyam guy stood up. A Vet. Thank God.
And we got 3 more years of this ?
My problem is, 60 Million on Medicaid, 52 Million on Food Stamps, 12 Million on Disability, 9 Million Free Cell Phones, 10 Million absentee ballots from ACORN, 12 Million Illegal Mexicans, throw in 15 Million stupid white people and Bada Bing Bada Boom you got yourself an election.
And my daughter starts Junior High this year. ;-(
,
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. Can we start a petition against stupid?
How that guy kept a straight face is beyond me.
And yes,ratt.One guy.A Vet.I could not stand more than 2 seconds of that vid,so where was this “stunt” pulled? I see very little difference between what’s happening to our cousins in the south,and us here in the North. And Jesus wept.
Agreed for except my grandfather was a citizen of Canada only.
Hans and DrD, exactly.
The decline and fall with a whimper of ignorance and illiteracy.
Wilkommen to the Weimar States of America.
Shades of Penn and Teller…….
Yeah well, back in the day, my “employers”….had me take a bit of psychology…..
The one day, a while back the usual local agitator showed up to may door with a petition for something absolutely stupid to be presented to the local counsel.
I did a fast read of those who had signed…..then after dismissing the fool, got in my pickup with a counter petition and easily got the same folks to sign.
I suspect it is a herd mentality, not wanting to stand out or something….
It is well known if the petitioner is an attractive gal all the guys will sign….or conversely a hunkj will get all the females…and 5 minutes later none will have a clue as to what they signed.
Fraud artists have used bogus petitions to acquire sample signatures…..
Yep, only the former soldier understood what was being said and refused to sign.
Mark Dice is from San Diego, so this most likely took place in California. Earlier this year he tried giving away a 1oz Maple Leaf gold coin (value at the time was $1725); people refused because the face value is $20 and it is Canadian. Search “mark dice gold coin” on youtube and watch the stupidity unfold.
Boy, you are shallow, Occam.
Even the same Americans were educated and overeducated in schools about BoR, it would fly over their collective head due to being spoiled and not having to worry about food, shelter and future.
Education only works when the seeds fall into fertile soil. Once you demotivate people from striving to achieve by stripping almost all results of their labor from them, redistributing that to the underachievers worldwide and ban free speech, there is nothing left for people to flex their minds at. The project is almost at fruition and the project management team is targeting next country to destroy.
As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species. ~Idiocracy 2006
Careful there, Miguel! Are you suggesting humankind needs natural selection, like in not allowing the least successful creatures to procreate? Like those with poor health unable to carry babies? Or those without sense of responsibility drugging and drinking themselves to near death? Or those too stupid to feed their families? Oh, horrors! You are going to get a visit from thought police I am afraid as you are not thinking the right thoughts, citizen.
Sarcasm off.
You said the same thing I’ve been yelling back at society for all my adult life. Bill B likes your post.
The law of unintended consequences rules.
Protecting the clueless and useless from their own behaviour is the best and most effective way to destroy a society.
Zombies are real, not quite undead and the product of a govt run education system.
Haha! Thanks Bill. It’s from a movie “Idiocracy”: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1. Very funny. A must see.
Semi-universal higher education destroyed the US.
In previous times, people and their families paid
dearly for their poorly thought out missteps in the
real world and even the stupid had enough sense to
be cautious about where they placed their trust.
Today’s great herds of idiots live in some dream
world governed by vote whoring charlatans and con
men of every description and political label.
This will not end well.
Nor will the long climb out of the resulting morass
be swift or pain free.
“Boy, you are shallow, Occam.”
Bill, It’s not that I’m shallow, it’s just that you can’t see the bottom of my well because you only see your reflection on the surface. 😉
He didn’t have to say more than “help Obama” and they quit listening.
They would have signed anything at that point.
If someone had followed them and asked what they had just signed all they would remember was that it was a petition to help Obama.
And none of them were black.
Thinking that this is how it is.
It’s this sort of thing that typifies why I’ve pretty much given up hope. Things are going to have to get a lot worse, and people are going to have to feel some real pain, before we can hope to see real change.
This little video is a good example of why I advocate people should have to take a ‘civics’ test before they are allowed to vote. I guess, they’ve never heard of ‘identity’ theft either. Can’t believe how quick people were to sign their name and give their birthdate.
Ugh… I live in Oceanside California, and I think this was filmed on the Oceanside pier. I am ashamed.
