  8. Those photos are gripping.
    As Instapundit and IowaHawk put it: “if you wonder who the good guys in Ukraine are, they’re the ones pulling down the statues of Lenin. Always a useful metric”

  10. American Thinker has a good article about the Arizona bill that wants to enshrine religious freedom for business owners how don’t want their businesses to essentially endorse homosexual “marriage:” http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/02/gay_marriage_and_the_next_round_of_civil_disobedience.html
    Quote:
    “… none of the bakeries or photographers who have refused to work in conjunction with gay weddings has explicitly refused to do business in general with anyone who is gay. I submit that a gay man requesting a photo session for his graduation ceremony would not be declined, nor would a lesbian buying a birthday cake for herself, her mother, her partner, or whomever … The only refusal is to help in the celebration of something that is unconscionable to the Christian proprietors, which would require them to at least implicitly endorse that which they believe to be morally wrong.”

  13. Daily Canadian leftists attack the Conservative government for “muzzling” scientists, conducting a “war on science”, and forcing employees to silence themselves. Such a thing could never happen an enlightened and inspiring leader like President Obama. As one woman writes:
    “I was not willing to commit to never criticizing the administration, nor to restricting my publishing agenda to topics that were unlikely to be controversial. There is just no point trying to be a public intellectual if you can’t speak your mind. This requirement was conveyed and discussed through phone calls; I have no written record to prove it. But that was how it went.
    Why did the White House want such restrictions? Lawyers told me that the administration didn’t want to have to deal with even one news cycle being overtaken by media frenzy about something some low-level official had said. The administration was trying to survive in our 21st-century media environment.”

  14. Recent FB posting from a friend, still giddy on her way home from the Liberal Convention:
    “What a weekend at the Liberal Biennial in Montreal! The Convention was ‘fly’ and Trudeau totally rocked it! Great experience! It was almost a forward to the sixties kind of time.”
    Kind of says it all, eh?

  17. Was I the only one to notice that all of the women and men hockey players for Canada, when accepting their gold medals, said “thank you” – they did not say “merci”?

  19. “Professors are working to understand and solve policy problems”?
    Most of the “problems” are caused by previous coercive “public policies” that distort individual economic decision-making and reduce overall productivity. The solution is to repeal them.

  21. I think anyone who tuned in to watch them play on the graves of Circassians needs a kick in the pants.

  22. Kevin Lafayette Your’re kidding right.
    From what I read the 19thC. Russian-Circassian war was a win for the Christian side with some requisite ethnic cleansing against the Muslims.

  24. Actually I’m surprised the Canadian team hasn’t won the gold at every winter olympics since they started allowing pro hockey players. What is the percentage of NHL players that are Canadian, about 50%? They should be able to put together 2 or 3 teams that could beat the other countries’ teams, including the USA, Russia, and Sweden.

  26. Please support the struggle of FreeDominion against judicial censorship. They need even small contributions to reach their modest goal.
