Brought to you by Barack Obama, and the Democratic National Convention.
It wasn’t that reports he sent to his bosses in Canada — details on murderers, money launderers, smugglers and spies trying to enter Canada — were met with silence or mostly destroyed.
It wasn’t dozens of threatening calls — “Stop what you’re doing or you’re going to find yourself dead” — from Triad members during his 1989-1993 stint in Hong Kong.
What finally broke him down, he says, was “the incredible feeling of betrayal from my colleagues. I’d worked with these people for years.”
“It goes to your very soul,” he says. “It is a spiritual crisis. It is a psychological breakdown.”
There was the day he got a phone call from his Hong Kong Police Department source, who was wiretapping a Triad kingpin.
“What shocked the Hong Kong policeman was that the Triad member had phoned someone in the Canadian immigration minister’s office in Ottawa,” says Mr. McAdam.
“The officer commented: ‘With that kind of relationship, you’ve got a really serious problem.’ “
Up 11 percentage points since June;
The Obama campaign is on a conference call with reporters bright and early this morning, trying to shoot down reports that there is, shall we say, tension between the Obama and Clinton camps as the Democratic convention begins. “Sen. Clinton and her campaign have been wonderful partners in working on this convention with us,” Obama adviser Anita Dunn said a few minutes ago. “There may be people on the periphery of both operations who believe that, for whatever reason, this is a storyline they want to promote, but this is not the case with the people who actually matter, which is Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama.”
As I was saying – would you allow the Clintons within a heartbeat of the Presidency if it was your heartbeat standing in their way?

I often wonder if this is more or less how Canadians view Americans at times.
For those interested in the latest on the Barry Dunham – Berg fireworks, America’s Right has two interesting posts up.
One is an interview with Philip (even a broken clock is right twice a day) Berg, and the other a Q & A by Schreiber.
Berg Interview
Schreiber Q & A
I was surprised just how common abortion is.
Toronto, Canada, is about to become the first North American city of over 500,000 inhabitants to become gun-crime free. All it took was the courage and determination of Toronto’s resolute mayor and the farsightedness of the Toronto city council:
In June, city council voted to close down two shooting ranges on city premises — one at the Don Montgomery Community Recreation Centre in Scarborough, the other at Union Station. Following the death of bystander John O’Keefe who was gunned down with a legally registered weapon last winter, Mayor David Miller said, “I don’t think there’s any defence for sport shooters anymore… It’s a hobby that creates danger to others.”
I’ll keep this in mind the next time my family and I spend a day at our local gun club, where we’ll go though about 200 rounds of .45 auto; 200 rounds of 9mm; 200 rounds of 40 cal.; and about 500 rounds of .22. We will, each and every one of us, drink in the freedom and common sense of Western Canada and thank our lucky stars that we haven’t been infected with the strange brain disease that afflicts so many who live in Canada’s Toronto shit-pit.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and UNICEF declares the whole country unfit to raise children:
Britain is the worst country in the Western world in which to be a child, according to a recent UNICEF report. Ordinarily, I would not set much store by such a report; but in this case, I think it must be right—not because I know so much about childhood in all the other 20 countries examined but because the childhood that many British parents give to their offspring is so awful that it is hard to conceive of worse, at least on a mass scale. The two poles of contemporary British child rearing are neglect and overindulgence.
[…]
I suspect, however, that the main consideration inhibiting elite criticism of MacKeown is that passing judgment would call into question the shibboleths of liberal social policy for the last 50 or 60 years—beliefs that give their proponents a strong sense of moral superiority. It would be to entertain the heretical thought that family structure might matter after all, along with such qualities as self-restraint and self-respect; and that welfare dependency is unjust to those who pay for it and disastrous for those who wind up trapped in it.
I said, “What are you doing, they’ve just hit the car with a house brick!”
The young constable said, “Oh, they always do that when we drive past.”
For some reason, this reminded me of the current US presidential campaign and what I believe will be the end result come November 04th/2008.
See if you can pick out the “Obama” fighter and the “McCain” fighter.

Mr. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA; BARACK SOETORO; BARRY SOETORO; BARRY OBAMA; BARRY DUNHAM; and BARACK DUNHAM may even be a Canadian citizen:
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Oh my …. THIS looks very ugly:
WHEREFORE,
Plaintiff respectfully prays that this Court:
A. Declare that Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry
Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a Barry Dunham, a/k/a
Barack Dunham is ineligible to run for United States Office of the President under
the United States Constitution, Article II, Section I;
B. Preliminary and permanently enjoin Defendant Barack Hussein
Obama, a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a
Barry Dunham, a/k/a Barack Dunham from running for United States Office of
the President;
Like every cop knows, there’s nothing more dangerous than domestic violence or a family feud.
