Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

He’s also a commie. An America hater. Caucasian hater. Anti-Semite. Narcissist. Petulant, thin skinned, dictator. Throws like a queer. I mean I could on for days here….
Orielly uses the term radical Islam. It’s is more aptly described as fundamentalist Islam, observant Islam or just Islam.
One minor point to pick. The catholic priests were acting contrary to their faith while islamic terrorists are acting according to their faith. Tell a muslim to give up jihad is like telling a catholic there is no need to partake in mass.
No doubt the Barack Obama center for social justice will feature a minaret. It’ll probably feature an endless loop of the Khalidi video.
Unmentioned by O’Reilly is the fact that Obama’s brother, Malik, has alleged deep ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. Funny how the Brotherhood figures heavily in Obama’s administration.

We will NEVER see the end of this jihad until mankind acknowledges and addresses the fact that blind faith is a terrible weakness. The murder and mayhem this religion has caused is directly due to a seemingly endless stream of weak-minded individuals being convinced that some 2,000 yr old writings have magic properties. And how utterly f*cked up mentally must these cowardly losers be to allow themselves to be convinced that even slaughtering fellow Muslims is some sort of moral and holy cause?
Some here have adopted a Christian world vs Islamic world mentality, I can certainly relate to that. But, it bewilders me how blind they are to the fact that Christian activists of many sub-faiths, led by the Pope, are cheer-leading this massive Muslim immigration. The ONLY Syrian “refugees” in our part of this country were sponsored by a Lutheran Church.
Whether it’s the Sharia loving Obama in Muslim garb or the the deluded finger-on-the-button Bush pondering Armageddon, I trust NONE of them.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Point well made. It can be argued that Christian Churches are being hijacked to support an Islam that is in the process of reforming back to its pure, Mohammadan roots. Here’s another article on the inclinations of Obama.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/255448/obama-and-brotherhood-ties-bind-arnold-ahlert
One wonders how long after Obama’s presidency more snippets from his well-protected past like this will emerge. Identity politics is a very poor substitute for a discriminating mind, the only means by which reason can exist.
Revelations of Obama’s past do not change the fact that sufficient information was available before his first term so as to disqualify him as a reasonable candidate. The same, off course, could be said for Pierre Elliot Trudeau and he had twice the intellect of his Spawn.
We could expand a lot upon “We will NEVER see the end of this jihad until mankind acknowledges and addresses the fact that blind faith is a terrible weakness.” The current world, complete with banning of things like sex with children, human sacrifice, and slavery, is the result of following the thoughts of two of the “…2,000 yr old writings have magic properties.” Atheism has a much worse record within just the last century when one combines Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and lesser communists like Pol Pot and Che Guevara.
We are hard wired to believe SOMETHING. No one can know it all, and with many the blind faith is applied to Science (purposefully capitalised). As an ideal, Science at first glance appears to offer more freedom than Judaeo-Christianity. Eugenics shows how easily this can be abused, and racial slavery appears to my eyes to be a natural extension of Darwinian evolution (though too evil to be legalised again in advanced societies).
Be careful what stones you cast, lest some be thrown back at you. Conservatives don’t discard what works for the sake of a possible future gain. The developed nations of the world share an ethos based on 2000 year old religious beliefs. This includes eastern religions that developed at a slower rate, but have as old (or older) writings. Discard history at your peril.
Obammy is just another sociopath who thinks that there is political capital to be gained by kissing muzzie-wug arses. No different than turdo la doo.

OMG! And look!!! Here’s GWB wearing a yarmulke! That means he’s Jewish!!!!!
https://i0.wp.com/www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bush_yarmulke.jpg
And Stephen Harper in a cowboy hat! That means he’s a cowboy!!!! Well… or perhaps a gay prostitute, I don’t really know.

The point here is that just because you have a photo of the dude in ceremonial dress at somebody’s wedding doesn’t mean he is a Muslim, or a Jew, or a cowboy, or a gay prostitute.
Cripes guys, come on. Your wingnuts are showing.
I hope to hell you have to hide your cowardly ass. You are so PC and socially correct, the crocs will get you. You cannot tell a Muzzie killer from a dog? People like you are what the rest of us are doing away with.
Since man has used virtually every religion to subjugate and control other men in most every part of the world, we will NEVER know how great things could have been without the taint of religion, will we? Talk about ignoring history, have you never heard of the Dark Ages, alone? We could arguably be centuries ahead of where we are now.
I love it when people try to put up Hitler as some kind of an example of organized Atheist aggression. He was taught Catholicism, which for his generation included a deep mistrust and hatred of the Jews. Gee, wonder why he wanted to kill them so much? Not to mention, the dedicated foot-soldiers who actually carried out these horrendous atrocities were overwhelmingly Catholic and Lutheran. Where was their superior morality, in the laundry? Most of the other names you mention STILL used religion and or state churches to much more easily achieve their murderous goals.
We are NOT hardwired to “believe something”. We are taught religious faith. Unless of course you can find me ANY example of spontaneous Christianity. I don’t know you, but the probable reason you are Christian is because you were born into a Christian family. Most Muslims are so because they were born into Muslim families and then trained. There is NO ONE hardwired to be a jihadist at birth, that kind of f*cked up thinking has to be brain-washed into people.
I have a friend who joined an “independent” Christian church in his community who is being taught he “owns his wife”. I was flabbergasted when he mentioned that she started a diet and that HE got to decide her final weight. That’s pretty buggered up thinking to be spreading in our society nowadays, don’t you think? Of course, it’s nothing compared to Islamic culture, but it is still bigotry taken from ancient writings.
So yeah, I think mankind, especially Middle Easterners, would be worlds ahead by following the facts of nature as opposed to 2,000 yr old superstitions written by some ignorant sand dwellers who would have fainted at the sight of a wheelbarrow.
You are literally a gibbering mess of racism and paranoia. How you even function is kind of a miracle.
I mean, you call me a coward, but I’m not the one who’s afraid of refugee children. I’m not the one who is unwilling to take a chance to save thousands of lives at virtually zero risk to my own. That’s the very definition of a coward, which is what the rightwing is now populated by.
“we will NEVER know how great things could have been without the taint of religion, will we?”
You will never know. The USSR did a 70 year stint without the “taint of religion”.
Great, is not the adverb I would use to describe it.
“Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”
~Vladimir Lenin
John, Obama is 100% a Muslim sympathizer, no question about it, and you can spin your denial any way you want, it doesn’t change the facts.
And his wife is a racist as evidenced by her endless whining about how far blacks still have to go for “equality”, even though her own (incompetent) black husband was elected twice as US President.
So the USA for the last 8 years has been run by a Muslim sympathizer and a racist. No wonder the country is in such a mess.
Calling someone racist for making a comment about a religion doesn’t make much sense unless religion has become a race. It is simply the last refuge in an attempt to shut down the conversation.
Really Oz, 2 posts and Russia is the most you can come up with?
The simple fact of my original post was that you CANNOT have extremists of ANY description without exercising blind faith.
Islamists and Global Warming activists are just two prime examples of destructive groups that could not exist without blind faith by their flocks. Healthy skepticism should be one of man’s most valued qualities, maybe only second to honor.
Agreed!
“The simple fact of my original post was that you CANNOT have extremists of ANY description without exercising blind faith.”
That isn’t a fact, that’s your opinion. Learn the difference.
Atheists are a minority. Not just a minority today, but throughout history.
That makes your philosophy an extremist position. Are you exercising blind faith?
You’re right, John.
But why are you wasting time on here? You really should be getting your goat-suit fluffed and ready.
It’s so much easier for the lapdog media … and the Comedy Central News Network … to MOCK all the conservatives who question Obama’s true faith and motivations. Actually EXAMINING the (half) “black” man is too much trouble … cause you’ve adopted him as your “boy”. NEXT … we will see his affirmative-action grades … and the REAL birth certificate … all coming LONG AFTER he crippled … er, “transformed” … America.
The “media” is an ASS !
“I don’t know you, but the probable reason you are Christian is because you were born into a Christian family.” False. Reason brought me to Christianity. I don’t have enough faith to believe that the balance of the nuclear forces, electro-magnetism, and gravity that allow complex molecules (and eventually life) came about accidentally, and that a stone-aged tribe would guess the order of creation.
I see most of the rest of your post in a similar way – we’re in the same physical universe but disagree on what happens and why. Given a list of atheistic mass murderers you select one and ignore his own instructions (as written in “Mein Kampf”) about how he’ll have to circumvent Christianity to get his desired goal, as well as ignoring the Catholic martyrs in the death camps as prisoners (if Christianity was backing Hitler, why was Maximilian Kolbe there, and why did he die for a Jew?). The Dark Ages were brought out by the end of the (then Christian) dominant empire, are you implying that Christianity brought it about? Who maintained literacy and history in those times? Islamic scholars outside of Europe, yes, but who within Europe?
As for your friend, that sounds messed up. Blaming Christianity for one messed up individual or pocket church is as wrong as blaming all of Canada for the ecole polytechnique shootings (if the shooter was Canadian then that means all Canadians including Canadian women are sexist murderers – it’s the same level of equation). It could be taken that way, but I’d argue that most reasonable people wouldn’t see it like that.
One thing I don’t understand from your exchanges with Oz and with me is whether you’re saying that only religious people can be extremists. Core to my beliefs is that anyone can be an extremist, but those who think that they have to answer to God in an afterlife can be constrained in their actions here on earth. That’s part about what makes radical Islam so barbaric, they think that they are acting on god’s behalf when they commit their atrocities. What constrains the extremist Darwinist who thinks that all inferior bloodlines must be killed off so that their own progeny can more? I’m not asking for legal or military limits, I’m asking about moral ones that would be universally agreed to by all, not just what your individual ethos say is the right way to behave.
I hope you never have to live in a society where the 10 commandments are not the basis for the system of laws. Because you’re arguing to throw the entire basis for our society out because of your own prejudices.
But that’s your choice. I agree that you have free will. I trust that you’re living right, because you’re not jailed. I hope you’re not insisting that your choices should be allowed to constrain what I’m allowed to believe and practice (if it doesn’t affect others).
Good for BILL O’REILLY! That Obama is not a ‘devout Christian,’ as he has been portrayed by the milquetoast liberal media, has been evident from his 2008 campaign. Obama’s loyalties lie with Muslims. Yesterday’s in-your-face contempt from Obama and Hillary toward American voters was EVIL.
Thanks, Fox News!
Blaming a religion for the misdeeds of its followers is like blaming a gun for the actions of the guy pulling the trigger.
How cute that Bill is demanding Obama not be who he is.
These so-called “terrorists” are just ardent followers of Islam’s perfect example of a particular sex slaver, mass murderer, pedophile, looter and liar’s behaviour. Obama is simply providing cover to allow the jihad to grow and expand the ever-bloody footprint of Islam.
I think the concern is Obama’s apparent ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Suggest you read “Catastrophic Failure” for more background on how the Obama administration is putting people’s lives at risk. Also, that is not just a head piece he us wearing. It’s a full blown dress. Would you wear something like this to an Islamic wedding? How does a non-Muslim even get invited to such an event?
The murder and mayhem ANY religion has caused is directly due to a seemingly endless stream of weak-minded individuals being convinced that some 2,000 yr old writings have magic properties.
No jihad in the name of someone’s imaginary friend is ever justified. That is just as true of the Islamic jihad in the world today, as it is of the Christian jihad in the Americas against the indigenous population that started hundreds of years ago and was still going on in Christian residential schools in Canada a couple of decades ago.
The current Islamic jihad can trace it’s roots to the Bush Clan’s illegal jihad in Irak. Did people really expect the Muslimes to just sit back and take it like the Vietnamese stone-age peasants did? That doesn’t justify the Islamic jihad, but it sure as hell doesn’t make the United Snakes of Hysteria blameless.
I agree with LindaL’s well reasoned response to John, and Jamie Mac’s off-topic response says a lot more about the sort of person he is than it does about what John was stating.
Of course Barak Husein is a Muslime masquerading as a Christian, and his use of “taquiyya” or lying at all times before non-Muslimes, to “beguile, cheat, mislead, kill, etc.” makes even his most “earnest” plea a shallow lie.
Jean, I’m curious. By how you’re talking about the US not being able to be held blameless, can any society? If none, then shouldn’t we concentrate on the societies that have done the most good instead of noting that all have bad apples and damning everyone?
Are you talking about societies or countries? Define ‘society’ in the context you’re discussing.
The USSA as a country is directly to blame for the mess Irak is in now. Illegally meddling in the affairs of another country, especially militarily, never comes to any good.
Wow. Apparently the idea of an Islamic Caliphate didn’t occur to Islamists until Bush II?
Jean apparently has a pretty shallow understanding of history. And while residential schools were not without fault, to call them a ‘genocidal’ product of western culture is misleading and unfair. Without such schools, native children would have been bereft of any education (excepting indigenous skills) in a clearly changing world.
to call them a ‘genocidal’ product of western culture is misleading and unfair.
I didn’t say that you did.
Just try to state your own views as clearly as you can. Refrain from misquoting others to further your agenda, it’s rude and does not contribute to meaningful discussion.
Your interpretation of what you think I said is your problem not mine. Your admitted misunderstanding of what I wrote does not qualify you to evaluate my understanding of history. If you want to challenge what I write then quote me, and ask specific questions.
Residential schools in principle served a useful purpose. Nearly every successful aboriginal leader today went through the residential school system. However the way in which the residential schools were administered by the Christian churches and the treatment many received was cruel and inhumane. There was no respect for the cultural and spiritual beliefs of people who had been here for thousands of years, and in that way it was cultural genocide. The aboriginal children did not need to be beaten into ‘good little Christians’ to learn how to read, write and do math.
Got it now?
Billy boy, it is just islam, not radical and not perverted. Just islam.
Well John, I give you one thing, when it comes to the topic of gay prostitutes I yield to your knowledge and experience.
