Liel Liebovitz: When Language Becomes a Battleground, Let's Stop Talking

The author describes Noam Chomsky's "despicable trick" --

"…a three-step bit of linguistic legerdemain that begins by emptying words of their meaning, continues by assigning them some random and temporarily advantageous value, and ends with accusing anyone who questions the new meaning as a depraved monster oblivious to the misfortunes of others."

Sounds like the MO of pretty much every progressive at this point.

By the looks of it, the easiest way to move unhindered into the USA is just tell them you're Mexican. Being Canadian seems to put you in the back of the bus.

Interesting scenario. What do you do with about a billion Chinese when they are unemployed ?

All of effing Canada will be pleased to know Her Greenness, Elizabeth May,the Honourable,the Reverend, has apologized for her profanity at the grand national drunk, aka Press Gallery dinner. Ironically it was a member of that "f***ing caucus" she said had less class than Omar Khadr, who escorted her off the stage and appeared to have been trying to get her away from the podium before she spouted off.

O's clown* status.

"The Fool On The Hill"

"The reason why Obama’s clown status is so perilous is that a prince need not be loved for as long as he is credible. And Obama is no longer credible.

Although some individuals may feel schadenfreude at watching Barack Obama reduced to a cipher, Allison’s article is a reminder of how extraordinarily dangerous it is when nobody trusts the President of the United States and either discount or parse his words. Of course the president’s brought it on himself by uttering all kinds of words bereft of “strategic vision”.

Obama, by reducing himself to “sound and fury signifying nothing” has become like an electrical detonator throwing out sparks. In a world full of triggers -Russia, the Middle East, Asia — that’s a terrible thing to be."

Osama died; Obama lied.

Get a beverage of choice and have a good read

Already the media are excusing May because she had the flu and not enough sleep. Waiting for them to start stories about how women public figures are not allowed to get drunk so are criticized. Lost in all this is no apology for calling Omar Khadr classy (see Ezra Levant's detailed analysis of Khadr's acting for the press). I'm sure May thinks Khadr is cute and dreamy like that cute Boston Marathon bomber.

CBC alert. Sorry but WTF!

My Conservative Party is getting almost as nutty as the CBC freaks would have you believe. And you gotta know how scary that is.

These Conservatives appear to believe in individual rights and the little guy like Elizabeth May believes in sobriety and taking the high road.

It's like there's a conspiracy to give us The Light One as Prime Minister.

OMG.

DhimmiO'narcissist.

O dead, Jim.

"Saudi King Will Skip Obama’s Gulf Nations Summit in U.S."

"Saudi Arabia said its new king won’t attend this week’s long-planned summit for Persian Gulf countries at the U.S. presidential retreat, in what may be a sign of frustration with Washington over its Iran policy.

King Salman’s decision to stay home comes as President Barack Obama’s administration is trying to restore the flagging confidence of Gulf Arab leaders in U.S. leadership."

"Two science heroes die seeking to protect the Last Ice Area"

"... the last update from Cornelissen mentioned encountering extremely warm conditions, such that he was forced to ski in his underwear to combat the heat."

"... a plane was dispatched to fly over the area, but when it arrived at their location, there was no sign of Cornelissen or de Roo.

Only a large hole in the ice was found, with one of their sleds floating on the water and the other sled partially unpacked on the ice. The dog, Kimnik, was spotted nearby as well - alive but alone."

Seems that Elon Musk's Tesla corporation is making a killing with corporate welfare:

This year his company will probably benefit from between $200 million and $300 million in government subsidies, as far as journalist David Booth can determine. Apparently the subsidies are far from straightforward or transparent....
