JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP

"Why must all decent non-violent people fight against "gun control"? Why is the right to keep and bear arms truly a fundamental individual right?...The message is simple: Disarmed people are neither free nor safe - they become the criminals' prey and the tyrants' playthings. When the civilians are defenseless and their government goes bad, however, thousands and millions of innocents die."

The human cost of civilian disarmament is genocide

@WL Mackenzie Redux - In Minnesota, when concealed carry permits were being contemplated, prophecies of doom abounded, blood in the streets, etc. Now that we have concealed carry, we enjoy a hearty chuckle over the non-fulfillment of said prophecies.

The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has responded to the complaint of the Flying Imams. While it's not newsworthy that the MAC denied violating any laws or Constitutional rights, it might be newsworthy to consider what allegations regarding facts of the incident are in dispute. I've written about this at Crossword Bebop.

Since the Flying Imams incident started in Minnesota, and I'm in Minnesota, I've made it my business to blog on the Flying Imams. If you click on the Flying Imams link on the sidebar, you'll find a number of posts I've written on the subject.

Some words from Stephen Harper:

"I met the Dalai Lama in my office but I meet everyone in my office. I don't know why I would sneak off to a hotel room just to meet the Dalai Lama. You know, he's not a call girl."

I'm not sure if the Dalai Lama would be thrilled to be compared to a call girl...but at least Harper has learned from Bill Clinton's mistake and is not planning on using his own office.

Useful idiot L.Beria chimes in with a note from the gulag...Paul Martin refused to meet the Dali Lama in public because he was afraid of offending the Chinese and putting into jeopardy those lucrative contracts signed onto by the likes of that great humanitarian Mo Strong.

One person who did like to meet people in vacant hotel rooms, playgrounds,outbuildings and forests was the known peadophile and child rapist that you so lovingly name yourself after.

His 'career' was brought to a halt with a bullet to the back of his head....if only all leftist mothpieces would exit so gracefully..

"the Goldilocks economy is outperforming all expectations."

Bush’s Very Good Year
Lawrence Kudlow

Against all odds, and despite the usual drumbeat of criticism, President George W. Bush has had a very good year. The troop surge in Iraq is succeeding. America remains safe from terrorist attacks. And the Goldilocks economy is outperforming all expectations.

At his year-end news conference, President Bush stated with optimism that the economy is fundamentally sound, despite the housing downturn and the sub-prime credit crunch. The very next day, that optimism was reinforced with news of the best consumer spending in two years. The prophets of recessionary doom, such as former Fed chair Alan Greenspan, Republican advisor Martin Feldstein, ex-Democratic Treasury secretary Lawrence Summers, and bond-maven Bill Gross have been proven wrong once again.

Calendar year 2007 looks set to produce 3 percent growth in real GDP, nearly 3 percent growth in consumer spending, and over 3 percent growth in after-tax inflation-adjusted incomes. Meanwhile, headline inflation (including food and energy) will have run at 2.5 percent, with only 2 percent core inflation.

Jobs are rising over 100,000 per month and the stock market is set to turn in a respectable year despite enormous headwinds. Low tax rates, modest inflation, and declining interest rates continue to boost Goldilocks, which is still the greatest story never told. ...-

L. Beria, Harper said "you know,he's not a call girl". I say,L.Beria" you know,he's not the sharpest". Now as Gord above suggested,look up the words 'compare' and 'contrast'. They are in that big book that daddy calls a 'dictionary'.

Why don't you look up "condescending" and "arrogance" and maybe you'll understand why Harper is not doing so well in the polls.

lberia @2:31PM - I looked up "condescending" and "arrogance" as you requested and found a photograph of PET. So what's his connection to Harper?

Although it was presented as a protest against commercialization, this story evokes a wonderful image about modern politics:

"Man nails Santa to a cross to protest Christmas commercialism."

From it:

"BREMERTON, Wash. - Art Conrad has an issue with the commercialism of Christmas, and his protest has gone way beyond just shunning the malls or turning off his television.

The Bremerton resident nailed Santa Claus to a five-metre crucifix in front of his house...."

The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, p. 115), By Bertrand Russell.htm written in 1920:

"Among religions, Bolshevism is to be reckoned with Mohammedanism rather than with Christianity and Buddhism. Christianity and Buddhism are primarily personal religions, with mystical doctrines and a love of contemplation. Mohammedanism and Bolshevism are practical, social, unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of this world."

Bertrand Russell was no Christian, having penned a book entitled "Why I am Not a Christian".

"The little secret from Bali is that the “road map” that was adopted without emissions targets may have signaled that the U.S. and Canada have galvanized key allies who may finally be saying enough is enough to the eco-theocrats. And signaling a touch new stance against the world’s biggest polluters like India and China. The times may be a changin’." ...-

Editorial — Bali's little secret

“There are three kinds of lies. White lies, damned lies and statistics.”
— Mark Twain

Contrary to the focus of much of the media on Canada and the U.S. “backing down” at the Bali conference on climate change, the real story may be quite the opposite. Opposition halted only after the conference agreed not to state specific emission reductions as targets for the year 2020. This was the big sticking point.

Canadian Environment Minister John Baird had objected to targets of 25 to 40 percent as “unworkable” and “unachievable”. He was right. And in the conference’s final draft, the specific emission reduction targets are left vague. ...-

Uzbekistan votes as Karimov gears up for long rule [Communist dictator Islam Karimov]

TASHKENT (Reuters) - Uzbeks head to the polls on Sunday in an election certain to extend President Islam Karimov's long rule and criticized by the opposition and human rights activists as a Soviet-style contest.

In power since 1989, Karimov is accused by international rights groups of violating basic freedoms in his Central Asian homeland. Karimov was condemned in the West in 2005 when troops opened fire on a protest in the town of Andizhan.

"Under no circumstances one should accept this election as legitimate," said Nigara Khidoyatova, leader of the unregistered opposition Ozod Dekhkonlar party.

PMSH was quite smooth in his Christmas fireside chat. A few digs at media, especially discussing the irrelevance of polls, and that he ignores Candian journalists when it comes to info on the American presidential race.

Iraqi villagers battle to hold off Al-Qaeda

THIS is the front line of the war with Al-Qaeda. In other parts of Iraq their fighters are like ghosts, using car bombs and remotely triggered mines to deadly effect but rarely revealing themselves. In Diyala, Al-Qaeda troops are seizing villages in house-to-house battles that have plunged the province into an unacknowledged war.

Last week, about 200 Al-Qaeda fighters overran the neighbouring Shi’ite village of Sufayet and refugees streamed into Dojama with terrible tales. “An Al-Qaeda man shot my uncle in the street in front of our house,” said 10-year-old Abdullah Khaled, illustrating his point with his toy machinegun.

“Then a second one ran over him with a motorcycle. His head squished,” he said. Other boys in the village scampered up and down the dirt streets in mock gun battles. Everyone knew Al-Qaeda was close by...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was superb when faced with the two crocodiles, Robertson and Fife.
Please spare me the predators in the Canadian MSM.

Both Lloyd and Bob were smugly confident that their impertinent questions and smug attitude would please their friends and colleagues in the Librano$ and the other MSM.

I'm not sure they took into consideration the fact that a lot of us "out here" aren't stupid or uninformed OR that most Canadians aren't from the "big cities" which both of these critics felt PMSH had shortchanged. They also seem to have completely forgetten--are they stupid or just blinded by their biases?--that PM Stephen Harper is a very, very clever political strategist.

How else would he have survived in the swamp that Canadian politics, aided and abetted by the MSM and the PPG, has become?

A sign of the times: Her Majesty will post her Christmas message on YouTube.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Christmas is for everyone to celebrate

Now some Left-wing think tank has suggested we downgrade Christmas for fear of offending religious minorities. As a Muslim, I take offence at a secular think tank that presumes to know what offends me.

The predictable reaction to these stories of denial or hysteria obscures what is an interesting question: why should we keep Christmas?

In a multicultural and religiously pluralistic society, why should we all down tools to celebrate, or at least recognise, a mono-confessional festival? Well, why not?

...

Christmas should be kept by us all, because it is one of the cultural ties that bind us. I am not suggesting that being Christian is synonymous with being British. But we all live in a country that has a Christian heritage and these values have informed the development of British culture, its laws and its institutions.

Christmas is a time to recognise the contribution that Christianity has made (and continues to make) to the nation, even if one does not share the religion. For too long, multi-culturalism has ignored the majority culture, which still is Christian...
