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."

Well… At least they didn’t bow.
Maybe they were getting ready to run if he was going for THIER wallets? No, just sucking up to to all mighty “ONE”
That’s just so enchanting.
Shame on them.
BTW, did they stand for Clinton and Reagan? I don’t recall seeing it if they did.
Leviticus 19:32
You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the LORD.
They can’t even get the grayheaded part right.
WOW. good observation. What a bunch of sycophants. I wonder if they will be changing the course names at universities from Journalism to Socialist Cheerleading now?
Brent: Are you sure that Leviticus didn’t mean
Nappy-Headed?
I recall the press conference in Ottawa when Prime Minister Harper and President Obama entered…only half the media stood in respect.
Canadian journalists sat.
They’ve taken suckupery to new levels. That was just disgusting.
Atric:
Well, I think it is very clear what was intended.
However, if you are implying that the MSM has their own (very modified) version of 19:32, well then,….. LOL.
“White House threatens lawyer’s client in Chrylser bankruptcy discussions, bringing in “the full force of the ‘White House Press Core’ would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight.”
Interview here, and this statement starts at the 1:40 mark…
http://www.760wjr.com/Article.asp?id=1301727&spid=6525
All the better to tonguebath you my dear….
‘rise ye up before the hoary head.”
Can you imagine how much different the approval ratings would be for Obama if the media actually carried out its historical role of lucidly criticizing government of all stripes instead of engaging in partisan public support of a black Democratic President?
That +1 difference would probably be a -10 or -12.
There can be no doubt now that the Left-Stream Media is in the tank for Obama and the Democrats.
When CWII comes around I will take great pleasure in Waterboarding them.
,
OH yeah, BB. I heard about this. And note that the 4 big banks who were owed 70% of the Chrysler debt are all getting big time TARP money. This is all getting remarkably crooked, and shameless too. they aren’t even trying to hide anymore.
Going to be interesting on the 4th of July this year. Police presence at tea parties? Cameras? Maybe the SWAT team? Because hey, you never know eh? Them teabaggers could be trouble.
Even more interesting on the 4th -next- year after Bary has had some time to pack the courts a bit more. National Guard call outs, anyone?
Oh well, I already cut off my TV and don’t get the papers, it’d be tough to boycott these cretins any more than I do now. It’s y’all’s turn. Unplug yore TV, cousins.
Now, these things run in cycles. So if it is this good for him now, it won’t be this good for him in about a year.
It has only been 100 days, as we were so consistently remonded a week or so ago.
The smile will wear thin eventually and there will need to be defence of objectives. ABC seems to be the only mainstream media org taking a more nuanced view. I write Fox off, not becase they are wrong, but because I would be shocked if they acted othrwise. I guess Disney isnt getting any government bailout money.
I am guessing this is a youtube vid of the “enchanted” question? (no flash installed on work puters).
And for Gellen, yes they did. They may not have wanted to, but there is no surer way to get your butt kicked out of the WHPC than to break protocol in public. Asking utterly moronic questions unfortunetly is not cause to get booted.
Proves the independence of the media. Fox news was not selected to ask a question in the prime time love-in. Are journalistic standards so lax that the approval of bambam is a job requirement. O said he isn’t in the car business. Four of the six board members are appointed by the government and Ratner ‘The Rat’ is car Czar. The Rat has made lots of money for his pals but is known for not paying up when it goes bad.
Well Phantom, I can only go so far on that TV thingy. I live and breathe Nascar, F1, Busch, Trucks, ARCA, Rolex, Indy, F3000 and anything else that has a V8 and a round de round.
What a I may give up in 2 months is the $90 bucks a month worthless Hughes Net. Me and mine live out in the boon-docks and can’t get DSL or Cable, had an ISDN Line 2 years ago, but when it finally hit $235 a month had to shut it down ( I mean, God Lord, that’s a bass boat note.)
Be thankful they didn’t drop their pants and undies for Obama.
They do it occassionally as a special form of greeting, moonbat-to-moonbat. Saw it at Zombietime.com a couple times. Bizarre freaks.
they havent bowed to him like he bowed to the Saudi king. yet
The cult of bamarama is pathetic. These adults in msm act like pre teens gushing over some singing idol (Elvis comes to mind). Fox news has adult reporting and commentary; the rest of them are just like the Howdy Duddy Show from the sixties. I have suspected the IQ of the writers in msm for sometime and this video is living proof that this press gang (like the Canadian press gang) are just out of control gushers for whatever/whomever they can get an emotional gusher from (for my generation it was Elvis, and the adults in the room nodded off in boredom – Elvis was not the President of a nation, he was an entertainer). This chronological adults are seeking to ‘outrage’ the establishment by gushing about a President who is stealing the Liberty of the greatest free nation on earth. The man that the American people appointed leader of their nation is obviously ‘clueless’ (eg the teleprompter), he seems to ‘stimulate’ other emotions far removed from governing the most powerful country in the world. This fella is not a Caesar or a Pericles; he has done nothing to earn respect. The new President is a hollow man that all women’s libbers like because he is harmless and looks and acts like a boy toy (President Bush certainly did not fit into the boy toy mode and he had a lovely wife who obviously did not have her own agenda). The boy toy thingie is what caught my eye when the Owe came onto the political scene – he is like a flash in the pan union organizer: all hat, no cattle. I won’t even comment on the msm males.
The press gang are reinforcing the perception that this new President is just a guy speaking ‘lines’ like an actor. If the press gang suspected that he had his own brain they would be pressing him. They are not as stupid as they appear to be – IMO – remember the teacher that brought ‘treats’ to school and let the students ‘decide’ what they would do in class and gave the students the exam the day before so they would all pass? Compare that teacher’s overt popularity with the one that made the students work for marks and appeared to not care about his popularity with the students.
The msm outfit is mocking the new President because he caters to them, they know his job is DEPENDANT on them and msm are playing the game.
I miss W.
Oh, the American people will learn to bow to their govt all right..if only so that they will be in the right position when ‘big govt’ comes for them from the rear..
The senior manager enters the sales meeting.
“White House reporters stand for Obama”
While Canadian MSM reporters and talking heads both “kneel and genuflect” in adoration!
Just wait until Big Algore the snakeoil salesman joins Marxist Obama and General Electric company’s carbon “cap and trade” Ponzi scheme.
Global Warming – Gone insane!!
FYI, any Civil War that erupts in the U.S. will be the first.
They’ve fought over Southern independance (aka Northern aggression), but they’ve never fought over who would control the gov’t of the U.S.
They rose for Bush as well.
Nice try though.
Should they have stood for Bush is perhaps the more pertinent question.
Well if they are standing they can’t be accused of working on their knees.
Maybe Monica Lewinsky wants to reprise her job in Washington.
Then Hillary and Michelle can have something in common to talk about.
Tony said: “Well… At least they didn’t bow.”
Trust me, they’re bowing in their minds!
It would be interesting to see how many of those reporters – female & male – constantly have a pair of volleyball kneepads with them … just in case the opportunity ever presents itself.
Obama is a lawyer and head of United state
he must get respected like Judge in Canada
who rules and this manner used
in court house as well before Queen of England too I guess
matter of hounorable to judge
saying Hounrable Jusitc X for example
this is for bring them more respect and
ask them or at leat wish they care about
profit of American president
respect to prime Minster Harper is necessary too
this is not proper when I watch the Canadian parlement other opposition keep break his words
they must repsect him more to take care of Candian right more
next time when PM Harper are talking other must respect him more as l ong he is majority of vote
judge are rule the law so as prime minster and so as president of United state
On other hand there is more link to issues
that culture or personality of BUSH he does not care ormind I guess to this matter
Character is matter
even assitant of court say all people stand and all peopel seat for judge they must used for all leader in countries too.
Middle east always stand for even regular guest respect of standing not necessary need to be president or prime minster

Chrysler bankrupcy is kind of stingy bankrupcy to me the owner must took bunch of money or ready to sell it to Fiat to Italy
this embrasing that Usa do not wish thier manfacure bankrupt or sell to foriegh contnries while Canadian keep their company to American
American are more nationalist
chrysler can bring stock price down and if 400 million american buy a share of 200 with cheap price tehy can help 40,000,000,000 which is
40 billion to chrysler to help them and later when share of stock goes up they can made more money out of it
share stock can be 10 per share and 200 X 10 for $ 2000 lend money by bank to public to buy
or other organization can buy this share likke teachers in university and school in USA or
government of USA can buy all share when it goes up they can share the stock to public and made profit out of it
or sell chrysle to $ 6000 to 10000 car and change yearly tonew car recycle the raw materials and act like cell phone or computer

Canada is land of immigrants
Include English immigrant to Canada too
Who left London England to made birth of population growth up to 20 million are English background in Canada and not body call those 20 million are mosquito!!!!
Immigrant 100 year from today number of Muslim from middle east grow with same ratio then what they may gossip us land of Canadian born children must have fun to have so many kids born here who know may right or subsidize housing pay them to use their free time spend better for best out of it.
If all Muslim Canadian and other Chinese must forgot their country they come from
Then, English must forgot picture of Queen everywhere in wall in court house or in penny or etc which is hang there every where in power and money positing and let Canada sees all immigrants based on law in Canada and position and expertly not where they come from. If you say Sirlanko and Palestinian must forget their back home so as English back ground too
I have not opposition with English people while I do not see they are got their job from reference from each other how about the rest of Canadian
While I like so many people or friend of mine
I just can not handle some one who is not smart act smarter than you only of where he or she come from is not my country!!!
excuseme
Your link of proof is poof.
Nonetheless, think there’s a difference when a “non hand picked” group of reporters spontaneously stand for the POTUS, instead of having to grovel like pups for the privilege of even being in the same room as the MSM annointed TOTUS.
Smells bad.
FYI, yer wrong grok.
The war was about State’s rights being trampled by a Federal government that had very little concept of what actually concerned southerners.
this links works. the Totus checking to see if the king is wearing those shriner shoes.

Like Ratt there are some sporting events I can’t do without. Unlike Ratt I suspect; because I choose to have TV I am forced to pay $29.95 for the basic package that I don’t want. Fck the basic package! On top of that, the satellite company conveniently laces every channel package that has one or two American channels I want with five or six Canadian channels I don’t want. SCAM!
As far as I’m concerned I couldn’t care less if there was a Canadian TV industry or not!
It may be easier to stand every now and then when you’ve got a hard-on for the man like these clowns do…
FYI, AtlanticJim – grok is technically correct. The Confederacy did not want to control the government of the North. The Confederacy wanted independance FROM the rest of the union, not control over the other states. You are correct the the industrialized Northerners did not understand the agricultural South (rural/urban divide is nothing new) but the real issue was all about money – the south was selling their cotton to the UK for milling because it cost less and the North wanted that cotton in their mills. Both UK and the Northern states used wage slaves to process raw material so the issue was never about human rights. Abraham Lincon was not an abolitionist when he ran for President. He came up with that notion during the war to gain international support. Lincon was a politician.
The great Martin Luthor King had a dream that one day his childern would live in a country where they would be judged for the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
I fear the Americans have turned that on it’s head electing a man for the colour of his skin not the content of his character. The bowing to the Saudis, the empty platitudes, are not POTUS Obama and Mr. Ignatiff graduates of Harvard?
Bush nor his cronies in his regime of deception and torture were not worth for standing for. He brought shame on the Office of President.
T stands for troll.
Garbage Mr. T. GWB did all the right things to do what he was elected to do – protect the American people. On his best day Obamarama couldn’t carry W’s briefcase. Every day Zero shows in one way or another that he lacks both the capability and understanding to effectively lead that nation.
Standing and kneeling at the same time, I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
one more time. you all know how to spell stupid and you know what stupid is? right, right, right. silence.
Won’t engage directly OWG :), but will always point out a MSM/leftist’s lie.
Think if Bush W. had received a JB in the oval office while carpet bombing Bosnia he’d be given a bit more respect with the MSM and the left?
Remember when they were all hand wringing, screaming and crying of: “it’s ALL for the oil!”?
NOW the new mantra is TORTURES!! While ignoring the murdering TERRORISTS that they bed with.
What utter retards.
{Pardon the misspelling of “anointed” above; seems there’s a ‘new’ kind of buggy software in the spell checker of firefox lately.}
“GWB did all the right things to do what he was elected to do – protect the American people.”
You can claim all you want that the Afghanistan War helped protect the American people (almost certainly did), there was no way Bush could have stopped 9/11 even if he did read the materials put in front of him (possibly could not), you can even say that the Iraq War was a good humanitarian thing to do because Hussein was a monster (he certainly was and they probably, in the long term, are)… but how can one claim that sending Americans to topple a foreign dictator with no ability to attack the US, no imminent ability to attack the US was “protecting the American people”??
Especially if you look at it from all of the things he might have done and done better had he not screwed up so badly in Iraq, like do a better and more focused job in Afghanistan, put more pressure on any number of countries that are now more belligerant because of Bush’s failings in Iraq (Russia, Iran, N. Korea).
This may be just my opinion but to our commentor “New”, you are trying to put too much in a single comment. Try to keep the related points together so your comments can be easier read and understood. You have many valid points and your comprehension in the English language is getting better.
I must, however, take exception to your references to the Queen and her portrait in various government offices. As a nation Canada has the Queen of Canada as her sovereign head. This goes back to the time when Canada was a mere colony of the British Empire. If, in the future Canada decides to separate the monarchy then I’m sure it will eventually happen.
The problem with many immigrants today is not that they remember their heritage but bring their politics and hatreds with them to their new country. Culture, religion, foods anmd heritage are celebrated by all Canadians but leave the war, strife and politics back where you came from. Also try not to be a hyphenated-Canadian or a Canuck of convenience.
end of sermon, amen.
Here is the question I would love the press to ask. When Bush had shoes thrown at him he dodged both. How many of those shoes would have connected to the side of your head as you read the teleprompter and how long would it take before someone put ouch up to read? Can’t help it, got a visual.
” no ability to attack the US, no imminent ability to attack the US ”
Nope; totally agree with your “thinking”, surely only retarded flight school dropouts possess that “ability”.
No excuse me!
After 911 Americans made it clear that countries that supported and harbored terrorists were on the naughty list(that means Iraq). Democrats and Republicans alike were hand in hand when Bush declared you’re against us or with us. Just because YOU don’t see the value in invading Iraq, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there; Clinton, Pelose, Dodd and Biden thought it was the right war, so I really don’t see your point. If you’d prefer to say it was a war for oil; so be it. It’s accepted on the left and right that energy security is part of national security, so I win that argument also. Have you asked an Iraqi lately their thoughts? Probably not, liberal thinkers assume, they don’t concern themselves with results.
Seriously, can you not see the benefit of establishing a strong democracy in the middle of the middle east? Can’t you see how success in Iraq would be a positive catalyst for the rest of the middle east and a positive for world security?
They stand up like good little footsoldiers. Can a salute be too far off? Along with some nice matching uniforms?
