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."

But,but,but…she just basically said that the eeeevviiillll U.S. was why diaper head didn’t want relations right now. Useful idiot.
Hiding the intentions of an enemy is tantamount to treason in my books.
Of course it’s treasonous, Pat. Which is why, my friends, the blogosphere and entities such as National Review are so important. Trust the leftist-dominated MSM? Not on your life.
Actually what was added (invented) is just as interesting as what was left out, i.e. “i will be the first one to approve”. When is the MSM going to get it straight that the net is the world’s best bullshit filter? We know how you do your shtik, MSM. It just doesn’t work for you anymore. Time to be truthful.
Scary stuff but typical loopy Leftist tactics. Anyone referring to any Leader among our Western Democracies as Satan would ring a bell in any mind capable of reason.
Too bad Treason no longer exists as an indictable offense, they don’t even know the meaning of the word anymore.
What could be closer to Satan than the Ayatollahs of recent history? Brutal bastards.
What Khamenei stated is consistent with Islamic ideology, going back to Mo. The essence of Islamic morals and dogma is wholly based on what helps or hinders the spread of political Islam. In other words, if something helps Islam, it’s good and godly. If something hinders Islam, it’s satanic and evil.
That’s why their religious morality is mostly opposite others. ‘Good and godly’ can (and usually does) consist of murder, torture, genocide, rape, slavery and plunder.
Lying by omission…oldest con in the presstitute owner’s manual.
Or in this case shaping opinion by filtering reality through an ideological sieve.
Interesting take “progressive” journalism has on Islamic absolutism…they just can’t get past the idea that some orthodoxies cannot be reasoned with…or “talked” into compromise…they can’t understand absolutism..they are relativists so Absolutist thought is enigmatic to them….so they fill in the blanks with warm fuzzy wishful thinking.
As in this case, clerical Islam has made it quite clear that the US is profane…an unbeliever..an infidel nation…the great satan…and they will only “negotiate” once the US has been “converted” to the word of the true prophet and worship of the true god…when the US has a “islamic” government….seems pretty absolute/resolute to me….but if you are left-inclined and filter everything through a utopian filter what fundamentalist Islam is saying approximates what we see in “progressive” publications….it’s absolutism presented with a fwuffy-bunny wrapper.
I don’t know why the msm is so eager to play fifth-columnist in this struggle. Their endless efforts to convince us that Iran isn’t that bad, their editors refusing to allow writers to use the word ‘terrorist’… Read more about the Canada vs. Steyn thing at http://www.darrellepp.com
@Liz J:
Interesting that you bring up the treason-take. The State going soft on one point does leave a power vacuum to be filled, and guess what groups of people are filling that one. As I have written before, the only speech-related crime for which truth was not a defense was political libel…
…pre-HRCs, that is.
The U.S. Institute of Peace where Slavin now works has Jimmy Carter roots. No surprise, their “achievements” on wikipedia look like classic vacuous lefty mind and fund wasters. I’m sure it has been unnoticed by them that the troubled areas at peace are a US military accomplishment.
How’s this activity of theirs for sheer lameness…
“Working with tribal chiefs, educator, and civil society leaders in support of peacemaking in Sudan.” Moronic.
Thank God for the internet, there is no rock for journo-morons and the company they keep to hide under anymore.
WND:
“Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, who recently ended his bid for the GOP nomination for president, expressed similar concerns. He said the U.S. must find something that will be a deterrent to terrorists or face another 9/11 that could be nuclear.
“I believe that unless you can think of a deterrent the threat will become a reality,” he said. He has suggested making clear now that Islamic holy sites could be targeted with counterstrikes should such an attack ever happen.
“If somebody can show me an alternative to what I’m going to tell you, then I’m happy to listen. But right now, there is no deterrent to the commission of that crime,” said Tancredo.
“What possibly can deter them, if it is not some threat to take some action that would threaten [what] their belief system tells them?” he said.”
…They also leave out the words ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam.’
So what’s behind the violence in Kenya? No, say it ain’t so.
“It’s been hard to escape the news of the horrific atrocities coming out of Kenya. Just this past weekend, children were torched, burnt alive in a Kenya church. In broad daylight, a crowd of Kenyans set a church filled with hundreds of terrified families on fire and listened to their screams as flames engulfed them.
The violence is the worst Kenya has witnessed since a failed coup in 1982. The media has been, shall we say obtuse, in describing the combatants, the murderers – what exactly is at play.
Dr. Jack Wheeler at To the Point News lays it out for us and outlines a brilliant strategy for Obama, a Moslem in his youth with strong ties to Islam and that region. Interesting that Obama should sidle up to the agitator aligned with Islam.
Of course, Wheeler’s bold strategy is way over Obama Hussein’s head. Don’t expect any such “action” from the actionless but the story behind the Kenya bloodbaths leads to of all places …………….. Islam. Kenya’s Muslim population is roughly 10% – that historical tipping point where the Muslims traditionally assert themselves and their Islamic law (sharia) on the poor, unsuspecting host country.
For it is the unique nexus of bloody violence between tribes – Kikuyu and Luo – and religions – Christianity and Islam – unraveling Kenya right now that gives Obama his opportunity. After all, his father, Barrack Hussein Obama Senior, was Luo and a Moslem.
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire.
Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.
The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.
It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two. Read them all, and be sure you’re sitting down. Here’s a sample:
b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.
c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.
g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in “Muslim declared regions.”]
And here is the biggest non-surprise: Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.
When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi.

re article: optimist calls that wishful thinking, pessimist – treason.
Lefties fervently want to believe the ayatollahs are Liberals in wolves clothing. Anyone who opposes this particular Republican administration must be a Liberal no? simpletons.
By removing the words the “USA is satan” the MSM manages to convince a lot of leftists that the USA is in fact Satan,
because if the USA wants to wage war against nice cuddly people who just want to be friends with them, then the USA must be Satan right?…
The liberal MSM has refined brainwashing to an art.
I just finished reading one of the most powerful and insightful books I have ever encountered and it should be required reading in our schools and by our politicians especially bin Layton. The book “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one we all must read. She describes her life as a Muslim and it is a real introduction to this dangerous theocracy. She writes about life in Kenya and is amazed at the rapid growth of Islam there. The blindness of her adopted country, Holland, to the dangers of Muslims astounds her as she makes the decision to leave the Muslim faith. There is a fatwa on her and she is protected by security 24/7 or she will be killed as Theo Van Gogh was.
One example on this blindness was when she told her fellow members of parliament that honour killing was happening all the time yet they refused to believe it. When she finally got the police to track the statistics they initially analyzed just 2 of the 25 counties yet it showed 11 girls were murdered in just 8 months! Ali is a giant and her courage is remarkable.
Barbara Slavin seems to following the same path of refusing to see the true message.
What is it that makes some people tell lies, half truths, omit truth and make up something other then what actually occurred?
It is just very hard to understand, that apparently sensible and well adjusted people will lie for an ideology, it is as though they have trouble living with reality.
Some say that liberalism is a mental disorder; it seems to be something more serious than that.

It *is* depressing to hear self-nominated “feminists” so loudly expressing their disgust at what essentially amounts to knitting in frustration. Oprah, anyone?
Real women make babies and get their men under control. How would that statement work in Islamic teaching?
