  1. Why, it’s almost as if they take Australians for suckers:

    New migrants should get taxpayer subsidies to visit overseas relatives, an Islamic group has told the Federal Government.
    The Islamic Women’s Welfare Association also says Muslims prefer to live close to their own people and Australia should consider how to “facilitate the purchase of homes for new migrants”.
    “Migrants face a lot of sacrifices such as having to travel long distances to visit relatives, spending on communication costs, missing out on some events occurring in native countries etc,” the submission said. “This loss should be compensated by the Government in one way or the other to retain migrants in their country of adoption.”

  5. Big Brother bill reintroduced
    I don’t know much about Bill C-51 except that it’s a big thorn for the leftoshpere and overlooked for the most part by Conservative Canada and which deals with internet privacy. The Harper government has won a big victory and fulfilled a long standing campaign promise with the Long Gun Registry going to senate this week.
    Now today, they are again pushing through with Bill C-51 “Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act”
    The government’s hard sell of this Bill revolves around getting paedophiles more easily by having free access to everyone’s internet accounts which somehow rings a little hollow with me.
    Is introducing a new Bill to pry into Canadians internet lives a worthy topic for conservative discussion?
    What happens if one day god forbid the loony NDP gain control of power and decide to use the powers of this legislation against “political dissidents”?

    Are you a migrant or tourist? so hard for some groups to figure out without a gubmint subsidy.

  10. Air-quality study: Electric cars out-pollute gas engines
    “Researchers found that generating the electricity used to power an electric car releases more pollution into the atmosphere than burning gasoline to drive.”
    http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/15/air-quality-study-electric-cars-out-pollute-gas-engines/
    Like nobody knew that.
    Where do they think electricity comes from.
    Check this out:
    Source of Electricity (World total year 2008)
    …………………………Coal…..Oil…..Nat.Gas…..Nuclear…..Hydro…..other…..Total
    Electricity (TWh/year)…8,263…1,111….4,301……….2,731 ……..3,288…….568…..20,261
    Proportion………………41%……5% ……21%…………13%…………16%………..3%……100%
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation
    Note that since the solar, wind are not specified, it follows that less than 3% of electric power is generated by those methods.
    32% is generated what may be called clean method and 67% is generated by what the environ/mentalists call dirty way, though, the natural gas by any standard should be considered clean.
    The concern as usually is, that the propaganda counts, quite accurately that most of the population has no interest, no time and no inclination to look at the facts.

  11. What’s the problem, Davs? I mean, eastern Europeans are white, so you can’t easily yell “racism” on this one.
    The Dutch have every right to an opinion about people being let into their country.

  12. Impeach Them All
    The US Government continues actions that will result in its own demise. That might seem fitting, except that its failure will seriously harm the citizenry.
    As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright moron – H. L. Mencken

  13. Knite99 …..
    Analog government for the digital age.
    Would similar legislation be introduced by a Liberal government, SDA would be screaming and scratching. The silence here brings sad reflections how a patch on the arm affects human nature. Conservative or otherwise, sheep is a sheep.

  15. Xiat, I have seen plenty of conservative criticism over this bill, and rightly so. Probably not enough, and your point certainly holds water.

  17. I agree Xiat. We at SDA should be fighting this Orwellian bill. It’s a page right out of the KGB’s hand book.

  18. It does seem ironic that anyone who considers firearm registration an invasion of privacy wouldn’t be equally outraged over de-facto internet registration. I consider both a Draconian invasion of privacy.
    If they really wanted to fight child-porn then why don’t they go infect child-porn sites with a virus that would disable the computers of people who use the site? Surely the government has the technology to do this.

  20. So… could we get capital punishment back in if it included any politician who passed a deficit budget?

    “Liberal smoke screen”
    “Despite its alleged good intentions, the Drummond Report smells like another masterful McGuinty con job.”
    “Excuse me while I fill my usual role as an unbeliever. But that’s only because I’m embittered by a decade of shrinking purchasing power while the public sector grows ever fatter all around me.
    Despite its alleged good intentions, the Drummond Report smells like another masterful McGuinty con job.
    It pretends to contain radical ideas to “profoundly” reform Ontario. But read carefully, it seems that nothing would change very much – except for the taxes and fees collected from the likes of me and you.
    It’s not as if they want to sell off the liquor stores, create an open beer market or liberate our paralyzed health and education sectors from the death grip of our public sector unions.
    Those would be radically useful suggestions – but they aren’t in this report.”

  23. “Internet is a powerful catalyst for jihad: Dutch security service
    Tuesday 14 February 2012
    The internet has become a powerful catalyst for international violent jihad, according to a new report from the Dutch security service AIVD.
    The organisation says it expects online jihadism to become a ‘crucial factor’ in the threat to the Netherlands and to other Western countries over the next few years.
    In particular, ‘core forums which form part of the so-called invisible web, a part of the world-wide web that cannot be found by readily accessible search engines’, are behind the spread of ideas, the report says.
    These sites are built and secured by fanatics without any formal affiliations to organisations such as Al-Qaeda.”

    “… a conservative of today is just a Leftist of inferior willpower, i.e. a libertarian.”
    “This is a sorry age in which conservatives are more enamored of sensuality and libertine freedom than of God and His truth. It is no wonder we lose. Without God and philosophy and honor, a conservative of today is just a Leftist of inferior willpower, i.e. a libertarian. There will be no victory for that mob. We will have to sacrifice more, and fight harder, if we want to win. But if we sound an uncertain trumpet, who will show up for the battle?”

  28. An episode of LMOTP that CBC will never make . . .
    In my opinion, the Muslims are all getting very brave now. Read Tedd Petruna’s story below. Can you imagine, our own news media now are so politically correct that they are afraid to report that these were all Muslims? Unbelievable. Thank God for people like Tedd Petruna.
    I, Gene Hackemack, received this email from my good friend Tedd Petruna. He is, a diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA Houston. I used to work with Tedd who happened to be on the AirTran Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston .
    “One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb about where an Air Tran flight was canceled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before take- off. The story was only on Fox News. That was NOT what really happened.
    I was seated in 1st class coming home. Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in full Muslim attire. Two of them sat in 1st class and the rest seated themselves throughout the plane, in coach class, all the way to the back. As the plane taxied out to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel that we are all so familiar with.
    At that time, one of the men, in 1st class, got on his cell and called one of his companions back in coach. He proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very, very aggressively. This activity took the 1st stewardess out of action for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at that time. He ignored her as if she were not there. The man, who answered the phone back in the coach section, did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. Further back in the plane, at the same time, two younger Muslims, one in the back on the aisle, and one sitting in front of him by the window, began to show footage of a porno video they had taped the night before. They were very loud about it.
    Now, Muslim men are only permitted to view porno women prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (Don’t ask me, I don’t make the rules, but I’ve studied Muslims.)
    The 3rd stewardess informed the two men that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time.
    One of the men said “shut up infidel dog!”
    The stewardess attempted to take the camcorder and the Muslim began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all eleven of the men got up and started to walk throughout the cabin. I guess that because of the noise, the flight crew must have decided that there was something amiss and changed the plane’s directions to head back to the terminal.
    The commotion and noise was reaching a feverish pitch, and at this point I had had enough! I got up and started towards the back of 1st class, when I heard a voice behind me, from another Texan twice my size, say “I got your back.” Then I grabbed the man, who had been on the cell phone, by the arm and said “You WILL sit down in your seat or you WILL be thrown from this plane!” As I “led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed him back to his seat. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!”
    He protested loudly, but my adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go also. Just as I escorted him forward, the plane stopped, the doors opened and three TSA agents and four police officers entered the cabin. Myself and my new Texas friend were told to cease and desist for they had the situation under control.
    I was quite happy to oblige actually. There was still some sort of commotion in the back, but within moments, all eleven Muslim men were escorted off the plane. The TSA agents then had their luggage unloaded. We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened.
    Then suddenly, the door opened again and in walked all eleven Muslim men! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic, (the only way I can describe it) they were reseated. The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw the men, she was having NONE of it! Since I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agents that there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with the Muslim men. The agent told her that they had searched the men and were going through their luggage with a fine tooth comb. However, nothing had been found and that the men were allowed to proceed on to Houston .
    The captain and co-captain came out of the cockpit and told the agent, “We and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on. Again, this was where I had had enough! I got up and asked the TSA agent, “What the hell is going on?
    I was told to take my seat. The airlines and TSA were sorry for the delay and we would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. Now I’m really mad! I said “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm, but I AM going through that door!”
    And then I heard a voice behind me say “So am I!” Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same thing. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met by more TSA agents who asked me to write a statement about the incident. I had five hours to kill at this point waiting for the next flight to Houston , so why the hell not give them my statement. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was canceled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6 PM, but I finally got there at 12:30 AM. If you don’t believe this, look up the date and then Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston .
    If this wasn’t a terrorism dry run, I don’t know what one is. The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I’m telling this to you because I want you to know. The threat IS real. I saw it with my own eyes.”

    “Spain’s ghost towns: Built during the boom years but now lying empty… as jobless total tops FIVE MILLION

    “Spain is steadily becoming a nation of ‘ghost towns’ – with empty apartment blocks, streets and weed-filled gardens where bustling communities were supposed to move.
    Entire housing estates built during the country’s boom years have been left abandoned, bricked up and now on sale for almost half their original price.
    One such settlement is Sesena, dubbed the Manhattan of Madrid for its towering apartments and proximity to the capital, where 30,000 people were due to live.”

  32. CBC’s next program,”Kids do the darndest things”.
    Thankfully,the only Canadian on the flight that the underwear bomber failed to turn into an ‘isolated incident by an extremist etc.’ has forgiven him.
    Shama Chopra says ” She has already forgiven. She’s talked to this man’s mother and says she knows some things as a mother herself; kids do take the wrong direction,” .
    This is a little more than taking “the wrong direction”. That’s like saying Ted Bundy didn’t fully understand dating etiquette.
