  1. NRO’s Mona Charen on Obama’s Self-Worship:
    “President Obama’s speech to the U.N. has been called naïve and even ‘post-American.’ It was something else as well: the most extravagant excursion into self-worship we have yet seen in an American leader.”

  2. Look at the countries that have stated that the demise of the USA is what they hold dear.
    Now look at those countries that love the idea of the USA led by B.Hussien Obama.
    There seems to be a connection.
    Chavez, Khadafi, Ahmadinejad, who do they cheer for? figure that out Democrats.
    http://faustasblog.com/?p=15782 at Fausta’s today, she has an humorous look at the robot that’s leading the USA….

  5. Reading a new book by a well-known and respected French historian (Alexandre Adler) called “Le monde est un enfant qui joue” (The world is a child at play”). He concludes, among other things, that George W. Bush was right after all to invade Iraq.
    Maybe the French are waking up after all…

  8. Mary Lou Ambrogio is the membership chair of the FOREST CITY INSTITUTE in London Ontario and they are having a “Tea Party” protesting high taxes and big government.
    Here’s the scoop:
    12:00pm – 2:00pm
    Reg Cooper Square, behind City Hall,
    300 Dufferen Avenue
    London, Ontario, Canada
    Phone: 519-438-8606
    alawton@forestcityinstitute.ca is a contact person.
    Kathy Shaidle (Five Feet of Fury ) blog will be a speaker.
    Because it has the resemblance of the successful American TEA PARTIES” CANADIAN MSM I suspect may not want to cover this event as newsworthy DESPITE THE FACT it is a taxpayer protest right in LONDON, the heart of southern Ontario.
    I know the National Post, G&M, The Sun Chain and a number of journalist employed there are aware of this first Canadian TEA PARTY, because I have emailed them.
    Coverage of the planned event has been non existent to date as far as I can tell.
    The blogs as usual have to carry the message to the people.
    So folks come out to the rally, lets make this a memorable event and get the message out to all government, municipal, provincial and federal, the folks in ONTARIO are rebelling.
    Come join us in London Ontario, Saturday October 3 , right behind London City Hall.

  9. More about Quebec and its magic 25% including Iggy blowing Quebec in the linked story.

    “It’s clear that when the population increases in a province, there must be a change in the distribution of seats, but we must also maintain a good balance with Quebec,” said Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff at a news conference on Friday. “We cannot play partisan games with this, because it (concerns) national unity of the country.”

  13. Joe Molnar, good luck with your Tea Party.
    ‘Sorry, London’s too far away to be able to attend; otherwise, I’d be there with crumpets and a bull horn!

  14. Goreacle Report:
    *”When they said “the science is settled”, that to me meant that the truth of the matter can no longer be known. I once asked someone, what if the IPCC came out one day and declared that AGW was wrong? Their reply was, “then I’ll know the oil companies got hold of them”.”

    “The Branch Carbonian Cult
    “The Global Warming Movement (AGW) has taken on the worrisome attributes of a pseudo-religious cult, which operates far more on the basis of an apocalyptic “belief” system than on objective climate science.”
    “Kingdom of the Cults
    Here, therefore, in far more detail than any routine allegation of “cultism” conveys, are no fewer than ten of this AGW ideology’s very specific characteristics, many of whose roots and lock-step influences can be found in Walter Martin’s and Ravi Zacharias’ definitive, award-winning 2003 book, “Kingdom of the Cults:”
    1. Leadership by a self-glorifying, manipulative New Age Prophet — in this case, former Vice-President Al Gore, though he is rapidly being supplanted by President Barack Obama.
    2. Assertion of an apocalyptic threat to all mankind.
    3. An absolutist definition of both the threat and the proposed solution(s).
    4. Promise of a salvation from this pending apocalypse.
    5. Devotion to an inspired text which (arguendo) embodies all the answers — in this case, Prophet Gore’s pseudo-scientific book “Earth in the Balance” and his more recent “An Inconvenient Truth” documentary.
    6. A specific list of “truths” (see the Ten Commandments listed below) which must be embraced and proselytized by all Cult members..
    7. An absolute intolerance of any deviation from any of these truths by any Cult member.
    8. A strident intolerance of any outside criticism of the Cult’s definition of the problem or of its proposed solutions.
    9. A “Heaven-on-Earth” vision of the results of the mission’s success and/or a “Hell-on-Earth” result if the cultic mission should fail.
    10. An inordinate fear (and an outright rejection of the possibility) of being proven wrong in either the apocalyptic vision or the proposed salvation.
    Prophet Gore’s (and now Prophet Obama’s) Ten Commandments
    With this half of the AGW Cult’s self-definition now clearly established, here is the other half — its Ten Commandments of “Thou-Shalt” and “Thou-Shalt-Not” absolutes — designed for keeping its devoted cultists in lockstep support and its intimidated detractors in retreat:” (More)

  16. The science is settled.
    Iggy is the Goreacle of the Liberal Party; a sham, a fraud, a fuddled-duddled wanna-be.
    Iggy has been fuddled-duddled by his own Liberals, to wit, Hezbollah Coderre and Bob Power Corp. Rae, et al.
    Go home to Harvard, Iggy.

    “Mr. Ignatieff has been in Canadian politics for nearly three years, and in a very important way he’s no closer to demonstrating what he has to add, as leader, potential prime minister, to our common Canadian experience than the first day some very smart people asked him to come home.”

  17. Rich Lowry (NRO) reviews the speech Sarah Palin gave at an investor conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
    “This last passage might be the most important. Palin is an authentic, powerful voice of the populist right and in the speech she implicitly connects its call for limited government and sensible fiscal policy with America’s role as a world power. Palin can play a very important role in channeling the inchoate populist anger out there in a responsible direction, which makes it all the more important that she engage on the issues in a serious way and avoid rhetorical over-kill. The speech, judging from what we’ve seen of it so far, is a big step in the right direction.”

    “School Kid Videos: Creepy Obama Worship
    “…if the left wants to discredit charges of Socialism, Communism, Nazism and Fascism; they should really think about not emulating Fascist, Communist, Socialist and Nazi regimes.”
    I recently saw the first video of the school kids singing the Barack Obama song in class. At first I thought it was the promo for the new “Children of the Corn” film or perhaps another remake of “Village of the Damned”, but alas, it is not. It is real. But I think it’s way scarier than either of those two retreads will be. This is the single spookiest thing I’ve seen since “Jeepers Creepers” in the theater. It’s a bigger freak show than that Nancy Pelosi press conference where she lied about the CIA.”
    “As a child I remember films of kids my age in China, all dressed in creepy uniforms with red ties, pledging allegiance to photos of Chairman Mao.
    This was shown to illustrate a BAD thing, not as a trailer of things to come.”

  20. Islam: a cult of Death.
    >>> “Hadn’t you heard about this? If not, it’s probably because the media have been tight lipped, the better not to embarrass the One in the White House”
    “The Prophet Mohammad divided the world into two areas: The world of Dar al-Islam, and the world of Dar al-Harb, or House of War. Everyone on Earth is therefore either a Muslim or an infidel who must convert or else. The Koran is quite clear about this.”
    MSM touted this as “50,000” Muslims to show up.
    The approximate number of shows? 2,000.
    “This time, the prayers reverberated over America’s front lawn as some 2,000 Muslims gathered for the Jummah Prayer on Capitol Hill: A Day of Islamic Unity. Promoters had planned for 50,000 but came nowhere near that.”

    “What I Saw at the (Muslim Prayer) Revolution
    Visitors to Washington D.C. today got to hear what residents in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan, as well as areas of London, Amsterdam and other Western cities already endure five times a day: The sound of amplified Muslim prayers lifted to Allah.
    This time, the prayers reverberated over America’s front lawn as some 2,000 Muslims gathered for the Jummah Prayer on Capitol Hill: A Day of Islamic Unity. Promoters had planned for 50,000 but came nowhere near that.

  21. Robert W @ 1:25 am, Nestor Makhno’s disciples always show up at these events. Pray that these sc*m never achieve power.

  23. Ken,
    I had to look up who “Nestor Makhno” was. From what I understand, a more recent mentor would be Saul Alinsky.
    It’s beyond bizarre going to YouTube and watching videos published by these anarchists. Keep in mind that if they truly followed the true path that they all advocate then they’d have no digital cameras, no computers, no Internet. But wearing the scarlet letter of HYPOCRISY has never been a problem for the Left.

  24. The Eeeeks !! A fitting way to describe the fearmongers.
    Eeeekology and Eeeekonomics
    Kults – why are some people so attracted to them. Otherwise sane people, smart people willingly bowing at the GW alter. Are they lacking something? Try a salt block.

  25. Thank-you for posting that link EBD. The new president, south of the border, is on a vengeance journey IMO. I recall the words of “Longshanks” King Edward I of England, given to him in the movie “Braveheart”: “The trouble with Scotland is that it is full of Scots.”
    Juxtapose to the new President of United States at the UN: “The trouble with United States of America is that it is full of Americans!”
    Edward I decided to ‘breed’ the Scots out of existence by ‘first night’ rights for Englishmen to all Scottish brides. The new President has a different plan – he is more up to date – more like Lenin/Stalin/Hitler; he is grabbing the minds of the American children.
    The new President is turning out much worse than even I thought he would be…Good video Robert W – as Glen Beck said yesterday “Whose side are we on?” We know whose side our Prime Minister is on…Americans?..not so much.

  26. Robert W. you are right about Alinksy being a contemporary mentor, but these people move in circles who base their views on the early 1900s anarchists such as Russian Prince Peter Kropotkin, Peter Arshinov, Ugo Fedeli, Volin and others. Makhno was the most successful in spreading mayhem in Ukraine during 1918-20. Our family has personal experience of the joys of anarchism.
    To listen to the two twits Shawn Hannity interviewed last evening, it is easy to understand how they could think “to kill a man is as easy as squashing a fly”. This is a quote from an incident in 1919 that my father-in-law related to me.

  29. Goreacle Report: The grifters and grafters at the corrupt/venal United Nations.
    Canadian Steve McIntyre* unearthed this chicanery.
    Down with the United Nations.
    …-
    “United Nations Environment Programme uses unreviewed graph from an anonymous Wikipedia author for official report.
    We’ve been lectured time and again about the importance of having climate science work come from peer reviewed papers, saying that the work of dedicated amateurs has no place in climate science unless the work rises to publication/peer review level.
    Yet that doesn’t seem to apply for United Nations science publications. Of course just one look at the front cover at left tells you its more about selling than science.
    The cover image pulls at heartstrings, making the world appear as if it is running out of time before turning entirely into an inhospitable desert. That is an extreme view in my opinion.
    Steve McIntyre’s discovery of a UNEP’s folly bears repeating, because it shows the sort of sloppy science that is going into “official” publications.”

    *”Spot the Hockey Stick #n+…
    by Steve McIntyre on September 25th, 2009
    The UNEP CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE COMPENDIUM 2009 on page 5 uses the following graph from Wikipedia (not the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report):
    CO2 concentration and mean global temperature during the past millennium. CO2 levels (blue line, lefthand axis) are given in parts per million, temperatures (red line, right-hand axis) in degrees Celsius. Source: Hanno 2009 Page 5
    Hanno is the pseudonym for a Wikipedia contributor. The graphic itself compares CO2 levels from Mauna Loa and Law Dome ice core to a splice of the HAdCRU temperature index and the Jones and Mann 2004 reconstruction (dominated by Graybill bristlecone chronology).
    The latter splice is, of course, the splice that Mann has informed us is never done by responsible climate scientists, further informing us that the allegation that such splices are done is disinformation by fossil fuel companies.”

  30. John Holdren, Science tsar, admirer of Harrison Brown:

    “The feeble-minded, the morons, the dull and backward, and the lower-than-average persons in our society are outbreeding the superior ones at the present time. … Is there anything that can be done to prevent the long-range degeneration of human stock? Unfortunately, at the present time there is little, other than to prevent breeding in persons who present glaring deficiencies clearly dangerous to society and which are known to be of a hereditary nature. Thus we could sterilize or in other ways discourage the mating of the feeble-minded. We could go further and systematically attempt to prune from society, by prohibiting them from breeding, persons suffering from serious inheritable forms of physical defects, such as congenital deafness, dumbness, blindness, or absence of limbs. … A broad eugenics program would have to be formulated which would aid in the establishment of policies that would encourage able and healthy persons to have several offspring and discourage the unfit from breeding at excessive rates.”
    — Harrison Brown, in The Challenge of Man’s Future
