  1. This book is priced at Amazon at $999.07 of a paperback version. This can’t be for real! I suspect someone has somehow managed to sabotage the listing in order to discourage sales.
    “The Neglected Sun: How the Sun Precludes Climate Catastrophe” Paperback
    http://www.amazon.ca/Neglected-Sun-Precludes-Climate-Catastrophe/dp/1909022241/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1435111630&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=The+Neglected+Sun%3A+Why+the+Sun+Precludes+Climate+Catastrophe
    How does one go about contacting the authors to find out if this is their actual price?

  2. Rush Limbaugh is asking when the confederate flag flying in state capitol became a problem for the republicans.
    This is not going to be broadcast on the main news manufacturing networks, broadcasts and “news” papers.
    It will be shut up.
    Not that anyone here cares.
    ‘mericans are free to fly or not fly anything they want, in so far that they are still more or less free people with more or less free will. Those two characteristics are diminishing, disappearing, waning so ever slowly as though a gentle breeze, once they are gone, ‘mericans will feel relieved that they don’t have to think for themselves any more.
    They have these sophisticate people living in separate reality, separate lives that will do the thinking and doing for them.
    All the ‘mericans have to do is eat some lotus, drink some booze and smoke some drugs, everything will be fine.

  4. The Confederate flag has never been a Historical symbol of White hatred for Blacks. The Complaints are not about the flags historical attachment to the civil war… (The Confederate army did not include Blacks) The simple fact is that starting in the 1960’s… 70’s… 80’s the Black Socialist hard core activists demonized the Confederate flag to provide a reason why Blacks must hate Whites… It is a symbol of Hate, only to those Blacks seeped in Marxist dogma, against the white race. Before the 1960’s the Rebel frag was popular with Hollywood and did not have a racial context.
    The Symbols of White supremacists was always German Nazi gear & the Swastika. I don’t recall any skin heads or K’s dressed up as Robert E Lee..
    The symbolism of Socialism (SA Storm Troops) has always been grounded in a lie that formed the propaganda theme. “Hands up don’t Shot”…… “ AGW Polar Bear” Everything needs a symbol that can be sold to the lowest common denominator.

  5. I bought “The Neglected Sun” at a normal price from Amazon. It’s a very good book. The price quoted must be a mistake.

  6. “The Confederate army did not include Blacks” only setting the record straight – the was a black regiment in the Confederate army. BTW in case anyone is interested Canada is a Confederation. When PET tried to make Canada a Federation Quebec sovereignty peaked. When PM Harper went back to our Confederate heritage Quebec separatism became yesterday’s news.

  7. Canada’s gun owners are trying to have some impact on the coming election, supporting candidates that support them, as well as those who are in a battle against those known to be hostile to gun ownership.
    In 2011, the “Turf Mark Holland” campaign helped Chris Alexander kick Mark Holland out of the Ajax riding he had held for 3 elections. Hopefully gun owners in Canada can help keep him out, and expand on that success with other candidates, in 2015.
    Check out their web site http://www.tmh2.org and maybe consider offering a donation to the suggested candidates.

  10. Globe and Mail, Tuesday, June 23. Editorial titled, “Quebec’s new tranquil revolution”.
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/editorials/quebecs-new-tranquil-revolution/article25067051/
    “Last week, the provincial government vowed to tighten signage laws for large out-of-province companies that have English names. Companies like Best Buy may soon have to include an French-language description of what they sell (électroniques?). The announcement barely registered.”
    “This is what ‘la paix linguistique’ looks like.”
    Seriously? Companies don’t even fight back against language fascism any more?
    That’s not “peace”, that’s more like having been fully cowed into submission.
    If people and their institutions won’t even take a stand to defend their rights any more, they’re in big trouble.

  11. “The Confederate army did not include Blacks” only setting the record straight – the was a black regiment in the Confederate army
    (Quote)On March 13, 1865, the Confederate Congress passed General Order 14,[41] and President Davis signed the order into law. The order was issued March 23, but only a few African American companies were raised.[42] A company or two of black hospital workers was attached to a unit in Richmond, Virginia, shortly before the besieged southern capital fell.[42] A Confederate major later affirmed that the small number of soldiers mustered in Richmond in 1865 were “the first and only black troops used on our side (/quote)
    You will be hard pressed to provide proof of a Regiment, remember
    the defense of Richmond was at the END of the war
    The Union Army did field Black troops during the War….

  20. “Boko Haram” = Mohammed’s Murderers.
    First, they came for the Nigerians; next, they came for Trudeau and Harper.

    “Trudeau says he’d soften how Canada deals with ISIS”

    “Harper invites Muslim families to 24 Sussex to break the Ramadan fast” (g-m)

  21. Stacey International is the publisher. You can look them up on the Internet and contact them directly. Something weird about that since Abe Books also lists a very high price. It may have been a limited printing and high demand — In which case,the publisher might consider doing a reprint assuming someone hasn’t put the screws to them.

  23. Um Slap Shot 42 companies more than makes up a regiment since regiment is not a fixed number of troops. The point is that there were black soldiers in the Confederate army and they had their own officers.

  24. Interesting bit of history:
    Half a Truck and the Chicken Tax

    Ever wonder why if you want to buy a truck in the United States you have drastically fewer selections than many other countries tend to enjoy and why U.S.-made trucks dominate the market in the country, while the same ratios aren’t seen at all in cars? It’s all because of chickens. No, really.

  26. Of Mohammed’s Murderers.
    “Last month the Netherlands banned the veil in government buildings, schools, hospitals and on public transport.”
    …-
    “Another country BANS Islamic veil after terror attacks shake capital”
    “Prime Minister Kalzuebe Pahimi Deubet said security forces will burn all full-face veils sold in markets for being used as a “camouflage” by militants.
    He added that the ban will be applied everywhere in the African country, not just in public places.
    Pahimi Deubet personally blamed the Islamist group Boko Haram for the two suicide bombs attacks, which took place on Monday.
    They killed at least 23 people and injured more than 100 in the Chadian capital N’Djamena, according to officials.”

  27. Linda Plews, 26, a resident of Toronto
    was visiting her in-laws and, while
    there, went to a nearby supermarket to
    pick up some groceries. Later, her
    husband noticed her sitting in her car
    in the driveway with the windows rolled
    up and her eyes closed, with both hands
    behind the back of her head. He became
    concerned and walked over to the car. He
    noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open
    and she looked very strange. He asked
    her if she was okay, and Linda replied
    that she had been shot in the back of
    the head and had been holding her brains
    in for over an hour.
    The husband called the police and the
    paramedics, who broke into the car
    because the doors were locked and Linda
    refused to remove her hands from her
    head. When they finally got in, they
    found that Linda had a wad of bread
    dough on the back of her head. A
    Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded
    from the heat, making a loud noise that
    sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of
    dough hit her in the back of her head.
    When she reached back to find out what
    it was, she felt the dough and thought
    it was her brains. She initially passed
    out, but quickly recovered.
    Linda is a blonde, a Trudeau supporter
    and a die-hard Maple Leafs fan, but that
    could all be a coincidence…..

  29. Well, I guess all those wanting to wear the veil will just have to come to Canada where it is your privilege to wear this even at the citizenship ceremony. Or at least that is what the loony left tells us.

  30. Justin’s latest bozo erruption during his interview with Milewski can be summerized thusly:
    “Terry, how can you ask me that? Don’t you realize who you’re talking to?”

  31. I hate to say I todda so, but I todda so:
    Iran nuclear talks: Khamenei rejects key US demands
    “In a speech on Tuesday night, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei insisted Iran would only dismantle its nuclear infrastructure if economic sanctions were lifted first. He also ruled out a freeze on research and development for 10 years, as well as inspections of military sites. The demands appear to undercut a framework deal announced in April. They could also limit the ability of Iran’s negotiating team to make key concessions as the self-imposed 30 June deadline approaches.”
    No problem – just lift the sanctions and voila problem solved. They’ll “comply,” right? In a pigs eye that is, because:
    “As supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei has final say on all state matters.” IOW stay off my land you infidel imperialist running pig dog satan.

  32. Hypocrisy, meet double standard: Jean Pierre Kingsley
    HarperPAC inspired by American efforts: former electoral officer
    The concern is not the Engage misinformation ads, clearly the same style as US PAC attack ads, but some reference to Conservatives having the nerve to answer back. No can’t have that, a level playing field.
    I look forward to 20 Oct 15 when these idiots can shut up ad nauseum.
    “Jean-Pierre Kingsley calls it insulting to Canadian intelligence to suggest the group, known as HarperPAC, was not U.S.-inspired. HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor says the group is trying to establish a Conservative counterpoint to similar organizations that have mobilized on the left at both the provincial and federal level. Taylor denies HarperPAC, which recently launched a radio ad targeting Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, was inspired by American political action committees. The Liberals, however, aren’t the only ones who will find themselves in its sights. The federal New Democrats are using HarperPAC as the basis for a fundraising campaign of their own, calling on would-be donors to cough up $5 or more to counter the efforts of Taylor’s group.”
    What intelligence is there to insult? What’s truly insulting is CP would give any voice to this partisan dinosaur. Progressives trying to control the message, once again. It will fail. What’s wrong, have they run out of ad hominems and non sequitirs?

  33. Socialism’s natural end result.
    Margaret Thatcher:
    “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”

    “Greece’s creditors face ‘Sopranos’ moment: How do you get money from someone who doesn’t have any?”
    “Now, for all their forbearance and willingness to talk, the troika face what you might call the loan shark’s dilemma. The more pressure you put on the deadbeat, the more you endanger the deadbeat’s ability to pay.”
