From Denmark: Wulff Morgenthaler’s Politically Incorrect Cartoons.

Sir Andrew Green’s article in the Daily Mail (UK) in which he advocates for cutting the number of new immigrants.
Excerpt:
Amid the welter of detail on immigration, it is vital to keep three points firmly in mind. The first is that immigration on the present scale is an entirely new phenomenon in Britain’s history. Talk of Britain being ‘a nation of immigrants’ is simply a fallacy promoted by the immigration lobby. In fact, we are one of the most stable societies in the world. We have had no invasion for nearly a thousand years, nor have we had a civil war for more than three hundred years.
Indeed, there have been only two numerically significant migrations to England since the Norman invasion in 1066. The first was the Huguenot migration in the 16th and 17th centuries and the second was the Jewish migration of the 19th and 20th centuries. Neither amounted to more than a tiny percentage of the population at the time and both were spread over a period of fifty years or more.
Another immigration realist clouding the issue with facts. The whole thing here.

sigh…why does it never look like the page you copied it from or the post before you hit ‘send’ ?

If Israel can be cast as pre-empting or foregoing the reasonable possibility of diplomatic success with a “rational actor” — as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey recently described Iran — then it would not be engaged in justifiable self-defense. Labeling discussion of the necessity of using force to stymie Iran’s aggressive behavior as “loose talk of war” or “beating the drums of war” — in the president’s words — is also to deny that such a move would be legitimate self-defense.
Now, add to this Podesta’s argument that “international permission” is the “legal basis” for any armed action by the United States, which, presumably would also apply to Israel, and you’ve got a concerted effort to make any unilateral preemptive action by Israel against Iran Illegitimate, and Israel an international pariah.
That’s what’s called “having Israel’s back”.

Who is ‘Elections Canada’? Who are these arrogant power tripping bungling beaurocrats? Let’s find some names. It is too easy for ‘them’ to hide behind that anonymous officious label.
Cravatts points to an influential 1965 essay by Herbert Marcuse entitled Repressive Tolerance, which planted the seed of political and epistemic subversion in the fertile soil of American academia. “Purporting to endorse freedom of expression for all,” Cravatts writes, the essay instead reserved “that right, in actual practice, only to favored groups.” The program “could only be accomplished…by favoring ‘partisan’ speech to promote ‘progressive’ or revolutionary change,” which would be, in Marcuse’s phrase, “intolerant toward the protagonists of the repressive status quo.” By the latter, Marcuse meant classical liberal thought with its emphasis on tradition, individual autonomy, civic responsibility and limited government. Our contemporary Marcusians have learned their lesson well. In this way, the door was opened for the delivery of mendacious doctrines from post-colonial fanatics and postmodern destabilizers like Edward Said and Michel Foucault who have done so much damage to the principles of intellectual honesty and objective study on which the university is presumably founded.
An amazing story completely ignored by the MSM.

Andrew Prescott, deputy campaign manager to Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke, tweeted on April 30, “Anti-#CPC voter suppression phone calls currently underway in Guelph, suspecting #LPC #elxn41” — referencing the Twitter shorthand for the Liberal Party of Canada and the 41st general election.
[…]
He also sent a public Twitter message to CBC blogger Kady O’Malley, speculating the Liberals’ internal polling “must be REALLY BAD, voter suppression calls in Guelph AND Halton . . . anywhere else?”
Mike, good of you to calmly debate Lil’ Ricky but I trust you know that you’ll never make one iota of difference in his very, VERY closed mind. I know, I’ve tried with similar Leftards in the past.

Globe and Mail headline: Ontario slams Ottawa over prescription drug shortage
McGuilty’s Minister of Health Deb Matthews: “We did not get the advance notice that we should have received. It is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that we’re aware of slowdowns in production in time to actually prepare a response to that.” http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ontario-slams-ottawa-over-prescription-drug-shortage/article2363140/
It appears that the federal government didn’t get much advance notice, either:
“Sandoz Canada, which manufactures most of the generic, injectable drugs used in the country, warned hospitals last month that it was cutting production following a citation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which flagged the company for sterility concerns at its Boucherville, Que. factory. That shortage was exacerbated last week after a fire broke out at the facility, halting production entirely.” http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/hospitals-depart-from-standard-practices-as-injectable-drugs-become-scarce/article2365361/
So, according to Liberal Matthews — I first typed it “Lierabl”… hmmm — it’s all Harper’s fault: the Quebec facility’s substandard cleanliness issues and the unscheduled fire.
Is this the next “scandal” in the making?

Let me explain the situation. The provincial health authorities, using their buying muscle, force the prices down for generic drugs, so that marginal producers abandon those products for more profitable ones, leaving a single source of supply. Clearly, that’s Harper’s fault. Then, a foreign government agency questions that single supplier’s production integrity (geez, a company scrimps on maintenance on a low-growth, low-margin product – whoda thunk?!) – well, that’s clearly evil Harper’s fault.

CLEARLY, that’s evil, robo-calling, American-loving, kitten-killing Harper’s fault!!!
Hope that explains it all for you.
Robert – yup, I knew that going in. He’s proven to be very good at ignoring direct questions so knowledge is harder to gain. The “good old days” he seems to be pining for sound like a theocracy, so I’ve asked for a little more explanation. I fully expect that the system he was has never (and never will) exist, but I am learning more about how he thinks. That was my goal.
Yup, perfectly clear, KevinB.
A few minutes ago on the “news,” it was reported that Deb Matthews was blaming Sandoz Canada for not informing her government of the drug shortages. The Probe and Fail was reporting that she was blaming Harper. I guess there’s enough blame to go around — but it’s still Harper’s fault (and probably Mike Harris’s and George Bush’s too)!!!

“This was an issue based call, not a voter suppression call. It was paid for by our campaign.”
He said the fact it was not identified as coming from the Liberal Party was an “oversight” and that his office had been “completely open” with Elections Canada.

All across Canada, concerned Canadians will take to the streets this Sunday, March 11th, as part of a wave of protests in response to the widening ‘robocall’ electoral fraud scandal….
Please note – while we’re working hard to promote the rallies, they are being organized by a range of groups and concerned Canadians volunteering their time.
———–
The rallies are scheduled for 1 p.m.,but if you are planning on going there to sell tinfoil to the loons or just for a lark,keep in mind that because of the DST change they will be showing up anytime between noon and 2p.m.
One more thing,the guy sending out the leadnow letters is Matthew Carroll,the fellow that did the Vikileaks is Adam Carroll. Could they be related?

“An 18-year-old Tibetan nun has set herself on fire in western China in the latest such protest against Beijing’s handling of the vast ethnic Tibetan regions it rules, an overseas activist group said Sunday.
Free Tibet said in a statement that the nun set herself ablaze Saturday and was believed to have survived. The young woman, identified as Tenzin Choezin, was a nun at the Mamae Nunnery in Sichuan province’s Aba prefecture, the statement said.” http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/tibetan-nun-sets-self-on-fire-in-west-china-in-latest-protest-against-beijing/article2335465/

From an article linked to at the Blaze; most of the article is a little history lesson about Turdo, Canada’s never vetted version of Bobama. The postscript connects the main players from both sides of the border:
‘Most importantly, we must notice the direct links of upper-crust Communists like Trudeau, and of the multinational corporations — notably, Power Corporation of Canada — with the front organizations of the RHODES SECRET SOCIETY. Communist Trudeau was a member of the “Canadian International Council” (CIC), formerly called the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA), where Power Corporation even today sits on the Board of Directors and the Senate, and which is a clone and sister organization of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in the USA:
In 2010, the CIC named George Soros, billionnaire promoter of people-powered “revolutions”, “Open Society” and Communism, “Globalist of the Year”:
en.calameo.com/books/0001117908be0c25fabdd
Also, in 2010, the Montreal Gazette unwittingly revealed the direct connection of Power Corporation of Canada to the secret world-government ring at the RHODES SOCIETY (CIIA, RIIA, Chatham House). Journalist Peggy Curran disclosed that SHE had sat on the Quebec RHODES Scholarship committee for 2010, conducted on the premises of Power Corporation:
“The Quebec Committee for Rhodes Scholarships

“Tibetan nun sets self on fire in west China in latest protest against Beijing”
“An 18-year-old Tibetan nun has set herself on fire in western China in the latest such protest against Beijing’s handling of the vast ethnic Tibetan regions it rules, an overseas activist group said Sunday.
Free Tibet said in a statement that the nun set herself ablaze Saturday and was believed to have survived. The young woman, identified as Tenzin Choezin, was a nun at the Mamae Nunnery in Sichuan province’s Aba prefecture, the statement said.”

*Liberal leader Rae’s uncle Mo Strong, c/o Red China.
From an article linked to at the Blaze; most of the article is a little history lesson about Turdo, Canada’s never vetted version of Bobama. The postscript connects the main players from both sides of the border:
‘Most importantly, we must notice the direct links of upper-crust Communists like Trudeau, and of the multinational corporations — notably, Power Corporation of Canada — with the front organizations of the RHODES SECRET SOCIETY. Communist Trudeau was a member of the “Canadian International Council” (CIC), formerly called the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA), where Power Corporation even today sits on the Board of Directors and the Senate, and which is a clone and sister organization of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in the USA:
In 2010, the CIC named George Soros, billionnaire promoter of people-powered “revolutions”, “Open Society” and Communism, “Globalist of the Year”:

Also, in 2010, the Montreal Gazette unwittingly revealed the direct connection of Power Corporation of Canada to the secret world-government ring at the RHODES SOCIETY (CIIA, RIIA, Chatham House). Journalist Peggy Curran disclosed that SHE had sat on the Quebec RHODES Scholarship committee for 2010, conducted on the premises of Power Corporation:

This link i followed from Drudge is well worth the read. I found the rewriting of U.S. Supreme Court decisions fascinating as well as the fact that the article came from Pravda.

Jema 54, Power Corporation of Canada funds the David Suzuki foundation to the tune of $1 million per year. http://www.davidsuzuki.org/publications/downloads/2009/DSF_AR-08-09.pdf
Although to be fair he says he gets no corporate funding… and HIS 5 kids are not an issue when speaking of population control. Nor his multi-houses when dealing with consumer over consumption.
Thats for the little people.
This was paid for by our taxes.
It’s a $1B+ message from Our CBC.
Here are Our CBC’s weasel words:
“Elections Canada was not immediately available over the weekend to confirm that claim.”

The HBO movie on Palin has been viewed and reviewed. It is no surprise that it is work of fiction. What is surprising to me, and disappointing,is Tom Hanks involvement.

tom hanks seems to have had an issue since he did
Apollo 13. Seems the oxygen really was thin up thee.
Hanks is just a spoiled Hollywood brat like the rest of them. He’s drunk the Accolade Kool-Aid and not being Forrest Gump, he didn’t start running. He’s stayed in Hollywood where he’s got used to the Leftist back slaps.
Forrest was right: *hit happens.
