Sleepingcoyote, acording to your link North Korea holds the presidency of the UN Conference on Disarmament. Who’s being disarmed? Certainly not the state. Epps is supporting totalitarian rule.
Occupy movement has little to protest in Canada Flaherty said the situation is much different here than it is south of the border, thanks to what he described as a “very progressive tax system,” a “generous social system” and strong regulations in the banking sector. “It’s not a situation where, as some Americans can say, that they suffered financially as a result of the misbehaviour of their banks and the use of tax dollars to assist their banks,”
Sleepingcoyote – you should have put a health warning on that link. Project Ploughshares is not a balanced source of opinion! Personally, I am glad that Canada is throwing up roadblocks to anything the UN tries to impose; I have said before that the UN is the most incompetent and corrupt organization on the planet and I do have personal experience with the organization.
Anthony Martin, writing at the Examiner:
“Perhaps the biggest story in the political world since the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Bill Clinton in the 1990s, although the Senate refused to remove him from office, is the fact that this week a subpoena from the House was issued to the entire top tier of the Obama Administration. Yet as of today the big media outlets–ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post–have ignored the story entirely. And if they did mention it in passing, it was buried on a back page or relegated to an inconspicuous web page while never seeing the light of day on the air.
“Regarding the news blackout of the subpoena, one astute observer had this to say:
As evidence, ladies and gentlemen of the jury of history, I present the undisputed fact that on the evening news shows of NBC, ABC and CBS this week not one — NOT ONE — mentioned the unprecedented subpoena by a Congressional committee of information regarding the entire top echelon of the Justice Department in the Gunwalker Scandal. Had this scandal involved John Ashcroft and the Bush Administration, does anyone doubt that the story would have led the nightly half-hour “puppet theatre”?
From Reliapundit’s “More Tea Partiers protested Obamacare in DC on the day it was passed than all the OWS protesters all over the world counted together”:
“The left-wing-dominated legacy media and the left-wing-dominated Democrat party want people to think that the occupy Wall Street Protests are ‘sweeping the globe’. They are doing this because they think it will help re-elect Obama and help them pass their redistributionist, anti-liberty, anti-private property agenda.”
(…)
“No one is being fooled…The Democrat party and the unions which make up the core constituents of the Democrat party are playing with fire. What is actually happening is that the OWS protests are opening people’s eyes to the Democrats’ dangerous alliances and agenda.
“I hope these protests last all the way to November 2012.”

Toronto Star, Saturday, Oct. 15. http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1069850–if-this-can-happen-to-dan-heap
“A heart attack and an Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2005 have taken their toll on the once mighty titan of social justice.”
“Heap and his wife of 61 years, Alice, put their names on a waiting list for long-term care in 2006 and have been ailing in a retirement home since 2009, where they pay up to $10,000 a month for lodging and care.”
“Last December, the Annex Retirement Residence on Spadina Rd. said it could no longer meet the couple’s needs …”
“If this can happen to revered social justice advocates like the Heaps, who have a large and loving family to pitch in and generous pensions to pay for extra help, what hope is there for the rest of us?”
I submit that the primary cause of his current difficulty is an excess of “social justice” that redistributes wealth from those who have earned it to those who have not, thereby causing the productive to seriously consider not doing nearly so much producing.
I recall a TV interview with Dan Heap during his days as an MP in which he repeatedly referred to “monopoly capitalism”, even though it is very difficult to establish a true monopoly under capitalism, where businesses have to compete for customers, as opposed to socialism, which is the true system of monopoly, i.e. a state monopoly run by a typical gang of power-hungry parasites.
The advocate of socialism flaunts and revels in his hypocrisy.

“Obama’s Pennsylvania problem”
“Minutes stretched on awkwardly after U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis spoke to local Democrats. Yet that was less uncomfortable than one man’s attempt to break the silence.
“Let’s go Obama!” he shouted, clapping loudly.
No response.
It was a reaction you’d expect at a Republican rally — not from Pittsburgh unionists, elected Democrats and other party faithful gathered to support Barack Obama’s jobs bill.
While the event’s lackluster attendance might be attributed to poor planning (cardinal rule in politics: never book a room you can’t fill), there is no excuse for Democrats’ lack of applause for a Democrat president.

“MSM goes sour on Obama”
“Politico reports that if Barack Obama is hoping to campaign his way back into the White House with the help of an adoring and compliant media, he’s in for a surprise. They’ve fallen out of love:
A study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism finds that, in the past five months …Obama has received the most unremittingly negative press of any of the presidential candidates by a wide margin, with negative assessments outweighing positive ones by four to one.
Pew found that just 9 percent of the president’s coverage was positive, while 34 percent was negative — a stark contrast to the 32 percent positive coverage and 20 percent negative that it found Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the most covered Republican, received.
“His coverage has been substantially more negative in every one of the last 23 weeks of the last five months — even the week that Bin Laden was killed,” Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said of the president’s treatment in the media compared with that of the GOP field.
The U.S. media was much criticized for giving Obama a pass in his 2008 campaign, asking tough questions of his challengers but ignoring holes in his own record (such as almost no practical experience.) Not this time:
The top four most favorably covered candidates, the study found, were all tea party favorites: Perry was followed by Palin, with 31 percent positive coverage and 22 percent negative; Michele Bachmann, with 31 percent positive coverage and 23 percent negative; and Herman Cain, with 28 percent positive coverage and 23 percent negative.” http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2011/10/17/msm-goes-sour-on-obama/
ZoNation: Herman Cain is black and he doesn’t smoke crack
This is a must watch. Zo breaks down the argument against Cain not being authentically black and slams Al Sharpton and Cornel West in the process. I think I’m going to watch it again. It was really fabulous. http://www.therightscoop.com/zonation-herman-cain-is-black-and-he-doesnt-smoke-crack/
I saw a video clip of Harry Belafonte all but calling Herman Cain the ‘house ni**er’. It’s appalling how very talented people can be so vile toward humanity in general, but I suspect the mystery is explained in Ayn Rand’s essay, “Altruism as Appeasement”.
