Tonight, we watch an assortment of strangers as they learn about their country and its history on a coast-to-coast Greyhound bus trip across America: here’s the highly patriotic 1956 film Freedom Highway.
The comments are open, as always, for your Reader Tips.

  3. I love me / I’m wild about myself / I love me / I’ve got my picture on my shelf!

    Back in May, I wrote about how President Obama had his name dropped into the official White House online biographies of other presidents going back to Calvin Coolidge, to attempt to share credit for their accomplishments…[…]…Then a week ago, Jim Roberts, who works for Heritage and the Wall Street Journal on the jointly produced Index of Economic Freedom, noticed another oddity: the Obama State Department has been removing the comprehensive “background notes” on other countries in favor of brief, far less informative, descriptions of the countries’ relationships with the Obama administration…

    The whole thing, “A Second Front in Obama’s War on History” by Seth Mandel at Commentary Magazine, here.

  6. Joan Crockett has won the CPC nomination for Calgary Center. Now Joe Who #2 can bugger off back to quebec and leave us alone.

  12. South Africa: Chairman of Genocide Warns Of Youth League, Forced Displacement and Genocide of Whites
    The Youth League is a communist party – murders have occurred and it’s believed they’re not robberies, but obvious hate crimes as seen by the desecrated bodies with symbols and signs carved into them. The Chairmen is a constitutional lawyer-he recently met diplomats from the US. Clear threats to private ownership happening at the same time.

  14. Holy Smokes Black Mamba – thanks for that clip.
    Good grief…I’ve never regretted paying for private school.
    Now?
    I’ll no longer even allow the thought….

  15. The way it used to be in the USA before the lefties, liberals, took over…..oh for the good old days when people cared and loved their country and their fellow man…..can you imagine what they teach kids in school now…….
    It’s the end of the world as we know and I dont feel fine.

  17. Via BlazingCatFur;
    ” NDP returned $344,468 in advertising income after Conservatives complained to Elections Canada ”
    http://tinyurl.com/8uodd98
    They paid this back a few months ago,and of course,it was hushed up like a trip to a whorehouse.
    Now,if we could only get them to pay for the cbc’s 90 minute feature advertisement, ” Jack the Myth”.

  18. The Weather Network had an interesting segment on apartment buildings collapsing in Havana Cuba due to the moist tropical environment and lack of maintenance but I can’t find the segment on their website. The simple ‘matter of fact’ reporting probably means the impact is lost on woolly-headed liberals, but if only one of them manages to think for themselves for just a second…

  24. Ever wonder what a nocturnal emission would look like on paper? The Globe’s Caplan shows us,consider yourself warned.
    ” He’s a legend now, enshrined in the pantheon of great Canadians, admired by all, a man who transcends partisanship, whose glorious last plea for love and hope touched a nation….”

  26. Red-Green Assessments Cancelled.
    More cuts to the left-liberal arts, please.
    This is bigger than the Kyoto Cut.
    …-
    “Many Sask. projects no longer need federal assessments”
    “The federal government has cancelled nearly 3,000 environmental assessments across the country, and more than 700 of those tests were for projects in Saskatchewan.
    The reviews have been cancelled because Ottawa changed the rules on what requires an environmental assessment when its new Canadian Environmental Assessment Act came into effect on July 6.”

  27. marc @11:05 – is Humberto Fontova the guy who taught Ezra the verb “chingar”? 🙂

  29. Anti-Obama doco overshadows new releases”
    “The weekend’s new wide releases were overshadowed by 2016: Obama’s America, which expanded from limited to nationwide release and took in $US6.2 million to finish at No.8.
    The documentary is a conservative critique envisioning what the country will look like four years from now if President Barack Obama is re-elected.”
    “It’s extremely rare for a documentary to break into the top-10, but August can be a land of opportunity for smaller films,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “Also, there’s the fact that this is a very conservative film. Normally, it’s Michael Moore-branded documentaries, the liberal documentaries that make all the money.”
    “Obama’s America is based on the book The Roots of Obama’s Rage, written by Dinesh D’Souza, who co-directed the movie with John Sullivan.
    The documentary now has climbed to a $9.1 million domestic total, with prospects for strong business as the Republican National Convention unfolds over the next few days.
    D’Souza said Obama’s America will expand to more cities in the coming weeks and probably remain in theatres until early October, likely followed by a DVD release in the home stretch leading up to the November 6 election.”

  30. Re: Freedom Highway.
    Thanks man!
    Loved the ending. Also loved the PD-4501 Scenicruiser built by GM Truck and Coach Division and powered by twin 4-71 Detroit Diesels. They were later powered by the famed (single) 8V-71.
    And that was the heart of the story. “Made in USA!!”

  31. No mention of GW in this Scarum piece from MSM.
    Enjoy your tofu/vegan burgers. It’s for the children.
    Closest to GW are these weasel words: “increasingly climate-erratic world,”.
    “the world’s population may have to switch almost completely to a vegetarian diet over the next 40 years to avoid catastrophic shortages.”
    “The report is being released at the start of the annual world water conference in Stockholm, Sweden, where 2,500 politicians, UN bodies, non-governmental groups and researchers from 120 countries meet to address global water supply problems.”

  33. Of Taliban JackNDP’s Legacy.
    “What kind of influence does $344,468 buy you in the NDP?”
    H/T Citoyen MulcairBloc.
    …-
    “Conservative Party of Canada : NDP Forced to Pay Back Hundreds of Thousands in Illegal Donations”
    “What kind of influence does $344,468 buy you in the NDP? Thomas Mulcair must immediately disclose all meetings he and his staff had with representatives of these big unions in the wake of these illegal donations.
    Had the Conservative Party not alerted Elections Canada to these illegal donations, the NDP would have continued giving big unions bosses and corporations a “sponsorship” loophole to avoid the law’s ban on big money in politics.
    We will continue to defend political party finance laws against those Oppositions parties which seek to evade them or weaken them.
    For example, the NDP’s 2012 leadership convention guide, Moving Forward, contained several “sponsorship” advertisements. We have asked Elections Canada why the NDP have not yet paid back the money for these donations.”

  35. O’s socialism: the religion of the stomach.
    It’s for the children.
    “Obama Crashes First-Ever Kids’ State Dinner – ABC News”

  36. Black Mamba @ 5.52, I dunno, but I’m certain Humberto Fontova doesn’t hesitate to use it in contexts that beg for it, as well.. I think highly of H. Fontova. 🙂
